Shamanic Journeys...
Shamanism turns on the axiom that everything in the Universe is alive and filled with consciousness attuned to its place in a scintillating whole: everything intends to relate to everything else. Our common practices of using our senses tune us into a small fraction of the myriad ways that the beings which fill the Universe share identities, entwine, separate, and dance with each other. Specifically, human beings tend to focus their senses on the physical consequences of cause and effect, and to ignore the implicit significance that objects take on by association with each other through metaphor and symbol. This second understanding has been called "Poetic Wisdom."
We can use other ways of accessing knowledge within our own beings, through attending to the "felt-sense" -- the subtle sensations of the body, developing intuition, and increasing the acuity of the outward-directed senses to distinguish patterns in the environment around us.
We are all capable of being connected to our magic selves and opportunities abound every moment to access this aspect of ourselves. Tapping into this awareness can be simply a matter of slowing down and turning the focus toward the amazing intricacy of each moment. What we eat, the plants or animals around us can be portals to divine nature within and without, and the magic of where these meet. Gavain and kaseja offer a container to highlight our connection to this reality and make it more accessible.
While we do seem to have free will, human beings do not have to make choices in a vacuum. There is guidance all around us.
