Journey 42 - Spirit of Sweetness

4/404: A mini-Journey early this morning to visit with the Spirit of Sweetness to discover why I still have such a need to snack and ingest sweets of various types when I get home every day. I performed this Journey without drumming, an advanced Shamanic technique. I found myself on the Spirit Plains at night, with several fires around which Elders were sitting. I was at one of those fires. I saw the rainbow-tipped Tipis nearby, common to my Spiritual Plains. Off in the distance beyond some woods, I saw a large Tipi tip sticking up with Purple and Green colors only. This was the Tipi of the Spirit of Sweetness. Black Panther came along and we began to walk toward this Tipi, once I told him I wanted to meet with the Spirit there. We walked through a long and winding path amidst Brush and Trees, with granulated sugar covering the ground as we got closer. Powered sugar began to fall from the sky and covered us both as we walked. I was struck that the imagery was from my current existence, and not from past lives. This told me I was actually meeting with the right Spirit. We got to a huge Stone Person and sensed to stop there..we never made it to the Tipi. The Spirit came out to meet us. At first, it stood very high on the Stone, towering over us and made up of light chocolate edged in powered sugar. But quickly Sweet Spirit sized down to a small, pale white figure that crouched as it talked to me. I believe this was to show that I need not be afraid of the original towering size..nothing major to overcome Spirit told me that me need for sugar was a result of a lack of self-esteem I brought home with me. I need to work more on the belief-conversion I’m undergoing and concentrate solely on the skills and good accomplishments and qualities of my life and self. Only then, when my esteem is very high, will I not need to “medicate” to feel good. I thanked him and my Panther totem and returned to the room.
