- (1888PressRelease) August 06, 2011 - Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, August 9, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt notes that the shamanic journey allows the journeyer to receive direct revelation from Spirit. According to Pratt, a direct connection with Spirit is the birthright of every human, and the shamanic journey is one of the most ancient and reliable forms of forging this connection.
Once connected with Spirit within the journey state of consciousness, the journeyer can find healing, protection, and a continual source of guidance. Pratt explains that the shamanic journey is a paradoxical practice, simultaneously requiring a degree of focused discipline and free access to the imagination. At the same time, the journey is purely question driven and occurs within the dreamlike landscape of one's own symbolic language. There is no ultimate truth there with codified symbols and interpretation. The journeyer must craft the question so that it acts as a key to open the answer. And then the "answer" that may be as inscrutable as last night's dream must be accurately interpreted. Herein lie the greatest challenges in developing a powerful, passionate, and effective journeying practice.
In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "The Shamanic Journey and Direct Revelation", Pratt explores the common mistakes, misconceptions, and false assumptions made by journeyers, and the remedies to correct them. Pratt reminds listeners that foremost, Spirit is a teacher and even our mistakes in journeying and what we learn from them are part of the teaching and the answer.
