That Ol’ Time Religion – Shamanism

… wasn’t much of a religion. At least, not by today’s standards.

Religion has become incredibly strange in the hands of agricultural humanity.  It’s far removed from what is visible and far removed from nature.

The primal ancient religion of humanity was basically a kind of nature worship, called animism, where everything was alive and spirits were embedded in everything and everyone.

The main mode of experiencing this reality was shamanic. Shamans used drums, dancing, drugs, or a similar method to alter their consciousness and journey into the spirit world. From their visits to the spirit world they could learn where the animals are for a good hunt, heal, gain knowledge, and explain away the misfortunes of the tribe.

While most of us are probably not called to do all those things we can all benefit from a modern equivalent of shamanic journeying, which is guided imagery.  Guided imagery allows you to travel inwards, to relax; to visit your future; to go to protected places where you can recharge; to heal yourself; and much more.

The only limit is your imagination. And imagination can be unlimited.

Here are some FREE practices to help you tap into your innate shamanic powers, the hunter gatherer equivalent of the original religion.
