Journey 64 - Daughter's PA

6/25/04: A Journey to find and assign a Power Animal to my daughter. It began almost immediately upon my completing the Smudging, the Rattling and the lighting of the Sacred Candle. As I breathed Shamanically and lay down with the Whitaker CD drumming, I began this journey is a new but familiar place. A land full of beautifully lit Tipis, each a glowing with a different color, at night. Off to my left was a large mountain, with little purple and yellow lights moving up and down the slopes, as if a mix of Spirit People and Sacred Fires. My Lower World Guide, Crosses in Front, the Snake, showed up wearing a red bandana and a moustache. This implied to me a Mexican or Peruvian Spirit Camp. As we walked together, Crosses and I could see into the opening of the various Tipis, and in the pitch-black could see the glowing eyes and Pipe Bowls of the Ones within. We went into a darkened Tipi (just skin on the outside, minus the Glow). Within were the glowing Eyes and Bowls, but also a small, pulsing purple circle on the ground. Crosses and I entered and went through this Tunnel, with circular pulses moving past us as we went down. As we reached the exit, there were curtains of light green Energy strips hanging before us, and as we passed through these we were in a small clearing with lush growth. Crosses demonstrated to me that I had the Ability to create any form of Life here I wished. Using Energy from my outstretched palm, I thereby created a bush-like tree with white blossoms. I created some Chipmunks and Rabbits to scurry on the ground before us. At this point, a rainbow-colored Hawk flew in and landed beside me. When asked, he said he was not the Power Animal for my daughter. But he did invite me to ride his back as went in search of the PA. As we lifted up above the Trees, I could see a large rock faced cliff to our front-right. We flew toward a cave in the middle of the face. As we approached, we both turned into tiny gold figurines, A hawk and a Tiny Man, both coming to rest in the dirt just inside the Cave opening. Our Spirits were free from these objects though, so we sat in Spirit Form nearby and awaited my daughter's Power Animal. Bear and Antelope both appeared from further within, but they were not her PA. Nor was the Deer who came nibbling at the Entrance. At this point I lapsed a few minutes into the Theta State, and don’t recall the imagery there, but it was not really germane. When I came back into the Journey, I found Grandfather to the North sitting across from me. He produced Pegasus, the Winger Horse and Spirit Messenger. But Pegasus was not her PA either, Rather, she took me on board and we flew north. We landed in a snowy field, where Polar Bear came up to us. She announced she WAS my daughter's PA, and went with me to my daughter's bedroom, where she was sleeping with the light on. Polar Bear licked her face in friendliness, then curled herself around my daughter, then shrank into her. We then were back at the snow field, and Pegasus brought me back to the cave. I went back into the Theta State. When I awoke, Hawk and I resumed our bodies from the golden figurines and went back the clearing. From there, Crosses and I went back up the Tunnel to the Tipi. We went outside, and some of the Spirit People there invited me to go the main Fire to dance with them. I did so, and my Power Animal Eagle took over, carrying me through and spiraling up above the Spirit Flames. We passed among the embers and sparks of the Fire of Life. The call-back drumming then occurred, just as I landed. I felt a powerful presence, Snake, running through my Luminous Body as the Jack-hammer like pounding of the Drum set the pace for the intensity and determination of Snake in eating the Imprints and Crystallized Energies away from my Aura. I felt much cleansed and strengthened as I retuned to the room.
