Imagine closing your eyes and slipping into an altered state of consciousness as you travel outside of time — and into the hidden non-ordinary realms of reality, parallel to the “real universe” we reside in...
This is the power of shamanic journeying, one of the major ceremonies a shaman performs.
As revered shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman has been sharing with her students for decades, shamans typically use some form of percussion, often drumming or rattling, to go into this altered state of consciousness, which then allows the free soul of the shaman to journey into invisible worlds.
In the above video, Sandra shares fascinating insights about the most common instruments used around the world for shamanic journeying.
