The three worlds of Shamanism
According to the Shamntic veipoint, there is a reality beyond the physical world that is accessible threw shamantic journeying. It is know by many names, "dreamtime" by aborigines of austrailia, "other world" by celtic shaman. Many Shaman traditions believe that unseen reality is divided int 3 seperate worlds, called the Lower, middle and upper worlds. If I dont get caught up in life, I hope to post more about each individual world. But here, I am going to start with the Lower world.
The Lower world of Shamanism
Sometimes called the underworld, the Lower world is the place of earth, water falls, forests, deserts. Never let anyone tell you what you see....everyones journey is there own. To travel there, I find it easier to do my ceremony where an opening into the earth is visible... a knot hole in a tree, a rabbit hole in the grownd, a waterfall, a cave opening. Once it is fixed in your minds eye, you can close your eyes (or however you prefer) and picture yourself stepping threw this opening.there is sometimes a period where you seem to be travelling a tunnel oor cave, this is normal and is considered a transituion period. Soon, light begins to show at the end and you come out into light as the landscape takes form.
Welcome to the Lower world!
I will ad more later
