May Wednesday Wisdom Circle (4 sessions)

Description

This is a Series of 4 calls during the month of May.

MAY TOPICS: Empowerment and Personal Healing

This month’s Sacred Journeys are shaped to help you understand and experience your personal healing and empowerment from within.

Personal power comes from within and from our higher self, not from something outside of us. We don’t always embody all of the power our soul possesses, so sometimes we need to reconnect to our source and fill ourselves back up. 

In this month’s weekly Journey Circles, you will learn:

• What personal power manifests as for you.
• Different ways to empower yourself with your own soul’s resources.
• Personal healing though the journey process and the spirit realms.
• Guides and helpers who have something to offer you in your healing journey.

Shamanic Journeying is a meditative practice in which you go into an altered state of consciousness to seek information and experiences from the spirit realms to find resolution for a particular inquiry.

These altered states (or journey) can be brought on in a multitude of ways and is the oldest form of meditation practices by indigenous peoples from all over the world.

From the perspective of science, this is due to a shift in brain wave states, particularly seen when we shift from the delta state to the theta state. The delta state is when we’re deeply resting, and the theta state is our dreaming state, to put it simply.

In ancient times many indigenous peoples understood this and found ways to manually attain these states without going to sleep so they could interact consciously and bring back wisdom and understanding they wouldn’t otherwise have. Most used a form of sound to alter states, like drumming, rattles, striking sticks together, ringing bells, singing bowls, all to form a repetitive pattern our energetic system and brain waves entrain to match.

Other ways of reaching this state can be with mind-altering substances, sustained physical movement, and even specific breathing patterns. Each method of accessing altered states has its pros and cons and is something that should be approached mindfully on an individual basis with guidance from a trusted facilitator/teacher.

We use sound in our Journey Circle, primarily the drum, but sometimes the rattle and other types of instruments.

Each week we will have 2 journeys plus time to digest and/or share those journeys. The first journey will be on a Topic of the Week – such as Your Sacred Garden, Spirit Animals, Spirit Guides, Cosmic Journeys, etc. The second journey will be based on our discussions and what is in the field of the group.

If you would like to join mid month, please contact support@inbodyyourlife.com for pricing and access.

How to prepare for this event:

• Arrive early if possible. The room will open 5 minutes before the starting time. 
• Headphones or earbuds are very beneficial during the journey part as the sound will vibrate inside your body easier if you are wearing headphones or earbuds.
• You may want to have some type of journaling or sketching option.
• This is a meditation practice, so make sure you are in a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted. Make a comfortable place to sit or lie down with ample pillows/blankets where you will be comfortable for at least 10 minutes.

We look forward to seeing you in circle.
