What is Shamanic Journey

[Anamere]

This was also found by a google search. It really is difficult to put to words what the Shamanic Journey is, this person at a "Lucid Dream" website really seemed to break it down very well.


"The shaman journey is conducted via the resonance of a steady drumbeat-- either a live drum or a recording -- although the live drum music seems to work best. The drumbeats change the brainwave patterns to theta and the journey begins. The drum carries the consciousness into non-ordinary reality. I am aware of both the non-ordinary journey and my ordinary physical reality. I am not asleep. I become a walker between worlds.

I must set a specific intention in order to enter a journey, otherwise I just lay there and nothing happens except the drumbeat. The intention creates a purpose, opens a pathway and the journey unfolds before me. I never know what will happen within a journey or how it might unfold, however I can make decisions within the journey in consultation with my journey-dream characters. The journey characters are personal guides through the terrain of non-ordinary reality. The characters within my non-ordinary reality are familiar with these realms. The characters assist me to maneuver through complex terrain. After two years of practice I now have five eccentric people characters and five animal characters that show up in journeys when their particular talent is helpful. (I started the journey process with one animal guide. The other characters emerged from journey practice and specific intentions). The journey characters reveal information or techniques to assist me within the journey. The journeys seem to evolve over time and practice. A growth in consciousness provides more ability within the journey. "

[Anamere]

I'll make myself a note to email it to you guys. It's the Michael Harner one. I have single and double drumming. It's pretty cool!

Seems like I sent it to one of you guys already but I can't remember. Slept since then

[devikpani]

Can i have a copy too.

[Sloan]

pretty please with sugar on top, when you get the chance!

[Anamere]

I will send it out you guys. I'm having issue's getting my computer to switch it from WAV to MP3 any advice on this?

I will share it as soon as I get that figured out LOL Hopefully won't take tooo long

[Sloan]

Why are you trying to change it? What burning program do you use? Windows Media player should be able to change it up for you all the same or even just add to whatever you need. Nero will do it too. That's what I normally use for just about everything.

[yogagurl]

If you have to change it I like "Wave Pad" I think it is a free program.

[Sloan]

[♥Starlene]

I usually use Nero too and it is so easy, but if it works, doesn't matter how...

[Anamere]

See I thought it was better to email MP3's becuase they can't get/hold virus' and WAV's can? Is this true? I mean I really don't know THAT much about the how and why? So I thought hey My computer geeky friends might know this one so I'll ask...LOL. Although it was a computer geeky friend who told me MP3's were better and she said not to ever download WAV and my computer converts everything I burn into WAV?

Wussup with that?

And Star, not to be a total pest but if you could email it, it might work better. Because I don't have everybody entered into my email addresses like you do... so, uh like would'ja? would'ja huh? Huh? LOL? I mean I know you're super busy too and I can totally get around to it but like....

Ok I'll stop begging and await your answer


So back to the Mp3 thing. I use Windows Media player and it like converts everything to WAV format. Not that I care... I don't even have a sound card right now LOL! but for burning and email purpose yanno? I just would like the MP3's back.

I used to use Music Match but it is now like some Yahoo thing I don't wanna mess with now.


ANYWAY...



I'll get it figured. I just don't sit down to often to try and figure how and why yanno?

Ramble Central out!
