SHAMANIC JOURNEY WORKSHOP

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

Experience Your Hidden Power At Any Time, Any Place

(even if you don’t know the first thing about 
how to use your mind powers )

In this live Los Angeles workshop, you’ll be guided step-by-step to do a shamanic journey. This journey will enable you to enter a deep meditative state, but it’s not really “meditation” as meditation is commonly practiced today.

A shamanic journey will help you go beyond accessing a meditative state, which is a powerful bridge to your higher mind and inner power. You will learn how to cross this bridge rather than getting stuck on the bridge, as is the case with common meditations.

You’ll discover how to…

* experience deep states of total relaxation to access higher mind states

* dramatically reduce stress and anxiety

* release emotional/physical discomfort

* access a higher force beyond your sub-conscious mind

* learn how to get insights and answers to your most pressing questions

* have increased energy and greater optimism

*experience a greater spiritual connection

* learn how your mind works and what you can do to influence your reality

*increase your inner power and learn to overcome obstacles

* experience a greater spiritual connection

What’s a Shamanic Journey?

Did you know that throughout history, shamans, Apache scouts and other wise men and women of knowledge have possessed the power to journey deep within to tap the universal source of information and wisdom?

The Journey will enable you to enter a meditative type state, but it’s not really “meditation.” Many meditations are limited or ineffective. Common meditation practices require the person to sit still or lie still, and when deeper levels of meditation are reached, the person falls asleep or is nearly comatose. Also, typical meditative practices can not be used in a dynamic way.

The shamanic journey is not an end result, but rather a bridge to your higher mind, to your inner power. The objective is to avoid getting stuck on the bridge, as in the case with common meditations.

You want to cross this bridge rather than stay on it. And, once you do, you need to be active rather than passive. The objective is to interact with your higher self to ask for guidance, ideas, insights and answers to pressing questions that are important to you.

Your higher self is a force that is always there to guide you.

Why Should You Use Your Mind Powers?

When you experience deeper states of mind, you will gain far more than feelings of deep relaxation and the elimination of stress. When you shift your state of mind from ordinary states of mind (beta) to higher mind levels (alpha or theta), you can access your inner power.

Your mind is tremendously powerful. You have levels of mind that you have never used consciously. At higher mind levels, you can develop specific abilities that are far beyond what you can imagine. You can gain important insights as to what you need to do in your life to create what you desire, how to heal yourself or loved ones from physical, emotional or mental ailments, how to have more joy in your life and much more.

The mind is where everything starts. Your mind is your doorway into infinity.

Ancient wisdom and modern science provide many clues about the powers of the mind. In physics, for example, it’s known that the mere act of just observing a molecule changes its molecular structure. In other words, thoughts affect our external world.

Your thoughts influence your reality and your probable future. Thoughts affect all facets of our reality such as health, finances and relationships. Our potential mind power is beyond what we have been taught to imagine!

Modern science is only beginning to catch up to the wisdom that the ancient ones have passed on to us over the ages. There is an unseen web of energy that connects us all. A growing number of scientists and researchers call this web of energy the Mind of God.

Powerful vs Weak Affirmations---Four Tips Everyone Should Know

You've probably heard that saying affirmations over and over again can change your life. Or that viewing your affirmations on a daily basis can create changes. Or you might have cds that play affirmations for you.

But do affirmations really work?

The answer is yes and no.

Let me explain.

The right affirmations, done properly and applied with other techniques can really make a difference. The wrong affirmations, said the wrong way and not applied properly will be completely ineffective and can create disasters in your life.

So just how do you use affirmations in the right way so that you get maximum results?

1. Be aware of how affirmations work
2. Know how to create them
3. Experience them in the deeper levels of your sub-conscious mind
4. Use them for certain time periods and at powerful times

1. AFFIRMATIONS ARE REALLY CONTROLLED THOUGHTS

Thoughts are instructions sent to your subconscious mind. Thoughts repeated regularly become beliefs. After a while you start to believe what you repeatedly think. And, when your beliefs change,
your world changes.

Thoughts create reality. Thoughts are forms of energy. Everything on the physical plane has a spiritual counterpart.

Visible forms of energy, such as money, your clothes, and the car that you drive, once were invisible. They were once thoughts that coalesced into form and density until they materialized on this
physical plane. Everything that exists on the material plane, once existed in the world of thought, in a realm that is infinite and that is not bound by time or space

Thoughts are your hidden allies that you can use to get things to happen.

2. HOW TO CREATE AFFIRMATIONS

Before thoughts can transform into visible forms of energy, they need to be energized in a certain way.

Below are examples of weak affirmations vs. powerful, energized affirmations. See the notes below to understand why they are weak vs. powerful.

Weak Affirmations

A) "I pray that I can get rid of my debt soon"
C) "I will meet the love of my life one day when I least expect it"

Powerful Affirmations

B) "I am thankful for creating huge financial success right now
in an easy and enjoyable manner."

D) "I know exactly what to do to realize a joyful relationship
with my dream partner and I am thankful for being guided every day."

Affirmation A --- is too vague and is likely to produce vague results at best. Even worse, this affirmation focuses on a negative thing--- "debt" and by focusing on debt, you're likely to actually create more debt in your life. Train yourself to focus your attention on what you want and to avoid thinking about what you
don't want. Put your energy into happy thoughts.

Affirmation C --- is vague and focuses on the future. With this type of affirmation, you are likely to delay producing the relationship you desire since you are essentially telling the universe to give it to you in the future ("I will") rather than now. You could be waiting a long time.

Affirmation B and D --- use the powerful "I am" decree and these words put you in the present ("I am now") rather than the past or future. When using "I am", only use positive thoughts; negatives
are best placed in the past. Lastly, these goals are detailed and as such the universe knows clearly what to deliver to you.

3. ENERGIZE YOUR AFFIRMATIONS

Focus on your affirmations throughout the day, especially when you're in a meditative-type state such as theta.

When your mind quiets down, and you access deeper levels of consciousness your thoughts are more energized and more powerful. When you are in a deep state, such as theta, your sub-conscious mind
is more receptive to commands. It's especially important that you focus only on want you want and avoid all thoughts about what you do not want. Be keenly aware of your thoughts and only hold those
thoughts that you want to materialize.

Get into the spirit of what you desire. Feel it as if what you desire has already happened. Then, let it go.

Relax and trust that your goal is now in the process of being materialized. Many people have difficulty relaxing because they are filled with doubts. Be aware that by associating heavy emotions,
such as tension and doubt, with your goals, you are making it difficult to materialize your goals.

Achieve your goals faster than you thought possible when you relax and energize your ideas during states of theta.

4. BE AWARE OF THE POWER OF NUMBERS AND POWER TIMES

Don't allow yourself to be discouraged if nothing seems to happen when you practice affirmations. Reserve judgment. Keep at it. It takes 21 days to break a habit. It takes 40 days to make a new habit
and 90 days to lock it in. From a shamanic perspective, the most powerful times to focus on
your goals and affirmations are at sunrise and sunset.

Humans are plugged into the natural world. We don't function separately from it. We are deeply connected with it. As such, the earth and the natural rhythms affect us. For example, when the sun goes down, we naturally get sleepy.

At dawn and dusk, our brain waves (rhythms) are closer to theta. Theta corresponds to the world of spirit. And, when we are closer to spirit, we have a stronger effect on the material plane.

Thoughts are invisible forms of energy that live in the world of spirit. When they are energized enough, they materialize on the physical plane.

That doesn't mean that you only focus on your affirmations during those two times of the day. It means that you take advantage of those times to give your affirmations extra power.

You need to say and feel your affirmations, as explained above, regularly throughout the day.

If you say an affirmation just once or twice a day but for the rest of the day fill your mind with negative thoughts, you'll eliminate the power of your affirmations.

If you want to get a new job and you say a positive affirmation about finding a new job, but then follow it up with a series of negative thoughts such as "There are no good jobs." or "Nobody's hiring during this bad economy..." That kind of attitude will lead to negative results, like not finding a job or finding a job that
you don't like.

Yes, you can absolutely get affirmations to work if you create the right affirmations, apply them correctly and use techniques to energize them.

A powerful way to energize your affirmations and goals, is to access the deeper levels of your mind. I highly recommend going into theta to energize your affirmations.

You have unlimited powers. You are a remarkable human being.

Create the right affirmations, and direct the power of your subconscious mind to help you create the life you want.

Begin working with the power of your mind and change your reality.

Beyond Meditation -- Secrets of An Ancient Powerful Technique

Throughout history, shamans and other wise men and women of knowledge have possessed the power to journey deep within to tap the universal source of information and wisdom.

Shamans have always known that the answers we seek can be found within. Bypassing the stumbling blocks of the outer, material world, they perfected techniques of accessing higher mind levels to find answers, gain insights and achieve profound understandings.

WHY JOURNEY?

The shamanic journey is a technique for accessing higher mind levels to get answers on questions that are important to you, to gain insights and achieve profound understandings. It is a great tool also to use for training the body and mind to enter deep states of total relaxation. At a minimum, you will learn how to release stress and to help heal your total being.

THE SHAMANIC JOURNEY

A shamanic journey enables you to enter a meditative type state, but it is not really "meditation" as meditation is understood and used today. Most meditations are limited or ineffective. Common meditation practices require the person to sit or lie still, and when deeper levels of meditation are reached, the person falls asleep or is nearly comatose. Also typical meditation practices can not be used in a dynamic, moving way.

A journey is not an end result, but a bridge to the higher self---a force that is always there to guide us. The objective is to avoid getting stuck on the bridge, as is the case with common meditations. You want to cross this bridge between the sub-conscious mind and the higher mind. Once you do, you need to be active rather than passive. That is, you want to ask for guidance, answers and any help that you deeply desire in your life.

PREPARING FOR A JOURNEY

Before beginning a journey, you are advised to focus on a specific question or a subject that you need help with. Your questions can range from the sublime, such as asking what you can do to become enlightened, to the most practical, such as asking about a work related issue.

Have a purpose for your journey. Imagine that you are going to talk to a very old wise man or woman. You will want to be patient, respectful, calm and receptive to everything this wise being has to say.

You can pose your question in one of these ways:

•Will this job offer be a wise decision for me and my family?

•How will the problems in my relationship be resolved?

•How can I make money in an easier and stress-free way that brings me greater happiness?

How A Typical Journey Is Done

Here's a brief description of how a typical shamanic journey is done: When you are first learning to journey, you sit down or preferably lie down in a relaxing space. In the beginning, it is best to close your eyes and have relaxing music in the background to help you focus. You are guided to follow a relaxation process that includes breathing exercises and releasing body tension. You then imagine a place in nature, such as a forest or desert, where you walk down a path until you reach an entrance, such as a cave opening or an arch that is part of the earth. Once you walk through the entrance, you are guided to use all your senses as you enter a deeply relaxed state. As you journey, you pose a question that is important to you. By accessing a higher mind state, you access messages, insights and guidance that you may not access during normal waking states.

It is advisable to follow a step-by-step guide when you are first learning to journey. Once you train your mind to do shamanic journeys, you can journey by yourself at any time and any place, even while you walk.

The shamanic journey is used for communicating with your higher self--with Spirit. It is practiced to retrieve information from the higher realms of the mind. From ancient times, shamans have used the process of journeying to travel within to access answers, insights, guidance and help from the spiritual realm.
