Journey 79 - First for Twin Sister

8/6/04: A journey undertaken at my dear friend’s request to help sort out a situation involving a woman she knows. This woman’s twin sister died of a tumor, and lately the surviving sister has seen her twin in dreams, and has herself begun a battle with cancer. The sister asked my friend if she knew any psychics and she said no, but knew a Shaman. She then asker her to ask me to try and contact her departed sister and ask what she should do to help survive. After the usual preps, I was off. Using a 15-minute Drum CD, I quickly found myself on a branch with my newest Power Guide, Snowy Owl. We were next to a large converted barn, at night, with lovely yellow light in the windows. Beneath was a soft carpet of fresh snow, and the stars were vibrantly bright above. A gorgeous, picture-book scene. I asked Snowy Owl if we could go to the Upper World to help the sister, and he said to wait for the Tunnel. We looked above at the stars, and soon I saw a light blue eye forming in the Sky. The pupil was jet black, and from this opening emerged a Tunnel of thin green filaments that reached down to us. So up we went. It was a lengthy ride, giving me time to reflect back on the scene we had just left. As we exited the Tunnel, we were in a landscape with fallen red tree trunks lying on a marshy ground, with a few red Trees still standing. It seemed late afternoon. Owl and I sat there. Soon, a little girl of 5 or so came up to me. She was not smiling, but staring at me, wearing a light-colored spring dress, sporting blonde hair beneath a small cotton hat. I asked her name and if she were the departed sister. She said she was, but said I did not need to know her Earth name..that was a selfish device on my part to try and verify the Journey’s Truth, and would not be allowed. I did see a few of her Spirit Names flash by: Carla and Marie. I settled on the former. Suddenly from behind came numerous tall, dark Forms, heading quickly for me. I sensed myself in real danger, as if a trap had been set for me, and Owl quickly lifted me out of the scene. We were back in Space, and soon came to a large, carved wooden door. We went through and were now in a farm scene. We went to sit on a bench in the shade near the entrance to this land. Owl transformed into a Native Man, totally white, from skin and hair to dress. He began to speak to me in soft tones. Yes indeed, that was the twin sister I met. She had allowed me to be attacked so I could sense the strength of the forces stalking the living sister..they were in fact not after me, but came to demonstrate their determination and ability to cause fear. I then asked what we could so for the sister. The names of two herbs floated by: Peppermint (aids digestion, but can interfere with iron absorption, so watch this and compensate if necessary) and Horsetail (diuretic, reduces inflammation and muscle spasms. Aid calcium uptake. Aids healing of bones and tissues. Strengthens hearts and lungs. Can interfere with B1 uptake, so watch this and compensate if necesaary). I then saw eggs go by, sensing the sister should either eat eggs regularly and/or have a healthy breakfast. I then saw her sitting in a wooded area near her house, wearing headphones and listening to soft, beautiful music. This told me she needs to be outside a lot, and to calm herself with soft music. I then asked Owl, who told me his name was Angshwa, if we could assign a Power Animal to the sister to help her. And so the parade began, with a Fox, Elephant, and Hummingbird among others going by, but none stopping to show they were the choice. Then, out in the field of this farm, I saw a Lamb. And then there was “Carla”, stroking the Lamb’s back. She walked in with the Lamb to us, and gave it to me as the Power Animal. At this point I was taken to a deserted two story wooded house in a wooded area. Carla went into this deserted building and turned into a small blob of pure energy. She circled quickly through each room of the house, as I saw her zoom by each window. Suddenly she flew up the chimney and burst into millions of tiny piece of rainbow colored mana (Spirit essence), floating down and being absorbed by the Lamb, now standing faithfully next to her sister. I was told that this mana would from here on out always be there as a gift to her sister to help her fight the disease stalking her..and that she should therefore always think of herself surrounded by this rainbow swirl of healing Spirit Energy, the gift of her sister. She also told me the metaphor of this event..from the place of loneliness and desertion comes the sacred gift of life. The sister should always remember to derive the mana from such sad times and places to strengthen herself. I was then back at the farm, and Angshwa took me across the field to a small river. We went in. The water penetrated every cell of my body and felt so good. Angshwa then took cupped handfuls of water and began pouring them over me. With each handful I felt better and better, and found myself melting down into the water. Eventually I became the water! I found myself floating, and the Water Spirit was pulling impurities out of me as I lay in total serenity. Then, just as suddenly, Angshwa pulled me back to form, as it were, and he became Snowy Owl again. We were then heading back down the Tunnel to the barn scene. From there, I walked back into my back yard, and just as I got there, the Call Back sounded..perfectly timed.

Lamb as Power Animal: Associated with childlike peace and innocence. Eats plant matter, implying a need to increase vegetables, fruits, etc. in the diet. Wool keeps us warm even when wet, and since water is associated with the emotions, this means one must not allow ones emotions to put a chill on one’s outlook.
