Journey 66 - Young Co-worker's PA

7/16/04: Journey #1 on this fine day off was to find a Power Animal for a young co-worker, who at a very young age has just found out at least one of her moles in cancerous..and she is understandable quite shocked and afraid. I told her I would pray for her, and this Journey is what I meant by that. By getting her Power Animal back for her, she will have a much easier time maintaining the positive, heal-from-within attitude I told her she must now adopt. This is the most a Shaman can do for a sick person. After Smudging and Rattling and lighting the Sacred Candle, off I went, using the 20-minute Drum CD segment. I found myself being whisked off to a totally new place..a large Field with tall Grasses. The Grasses began to bend in a path-like ammer, indicating the arrival of my Snake Guide, Crosses in Front. She had purple patches on her skin, and soon the rest of her covering filled in with the other rainbow colors. Quite pretty! She then grew, transforming into a human form! She allowed me to see her Face for the first time..very nice, very Native! We then went arm in arm down a nearby, human-sized Opening in the Ground. At first we saw Dirt and Roots, but as it got darker and darker, I could see deep blue quartz Crystal shafts glowing in the walls, floor and ceiling. Crosses and I both had a faint rainbow outline around our bodies..all we could see of each other. I spotted a Crystal that looked just like the one I have next to my Pipe, and Crosses told me to pick it up and carry it back. By placing this Crystal from the Spirit World inside my physical one, I will greatly empower it. We eventually cleared the Tunnel and were in a lakeside clearing. Only, we were still in the Middle World..it looked like coastal Rye, NH. This was a first for me..tunneling back to a different place in this existence! Crosses led me to a large Stump, where we sat. She blew her breath into the center of the Stump, with her breath emerging as an intense fire. This fire Breath blew a hole into the center of the Stump. My Power Animal Eagle then appeared, and Crosses told me that Eagle would accompany me to the Lower World. Eagle and I went down through the fiery walls. We emerged into the very early dawn of a dark world, where the Bushes had large leaf blades. These spoke to me, welcoming me. The Grasses at my feet parted as I walked, so as to avoid my stepping on them. It was as if our energies were working together to keep us from touching, making for very smooth and undamaging travel. Eagle and I proceeded up an incline and reached past the Tree line. From there we went up a rocky slope to a local peak. The Sky above was dark but swirling with blues of all different hues. At the peak, several Rats and Chipmunks came to my feet. I wondered if either was the Power Animal for my friend, but the Rat seemed too aggressive, and the Chipmunk too indifferent. Then a Fox appeared, and nudged the tinier animals away with her nose. She sat by me and licked my hand. I realized then that Fox is my friend’s Power Animal. The scene shifted a bit, and I was back in a grassy area. Woman in a Grass Dress, whose image hangs on my wall, appeared before me. She took Fox in her arm and walked a good distance to my friend. She handed her the Fox, who rested in her arms while she walked along toward and to the right of me. I could tell who both women were, even though they were presented mainly in Energy shapes versus actually human appearances. Then I saw the Fox go into my friend. I then knew she now had her Power Animal. I then fell into the deeper Theta state, but for the first time was able to come back with three brief images from this deepest of Lower Worlds. IMAGE ONE: Three soldiers were sitting in a truck, and a man came up to them from the car’s right side with a machine gun. The three asked the man not to shoot, but he did anyway. He seemed to be after the man in the middle of the three, but the others were hit as the bullets went through the first man. As I watched this, I realized the three men in the Truck were all part of my friend’s immune system..their names were Helper, Healer and Holder, the last being the Holder of Life. Holder was the one in the front-center that the man was after. I can only assume the Man with the gun was her Cancer. So I took on the Gunman. Foxes came around and grabbed his arms and legs, pinning him to the ground. I sprinkled him with Sage and Sweet Grass, which caused quite a bit of his body to melt away. Black Panther then came by and lay on the remains, soaking up what was left of the man’s Energy. BP then pissed that Energy back into Mother Earth to be used for Good. We then went back to the Truck and restored Life to the three men. IMAGE TWO: More fractured..I just recall a woman standing in front of a mirror trying on a dress that seemed to fit very well. IMAGE THREE: Even more fractured. I recall being in a boat in the ocean and seeing a Fish swimming in the water just below the surface. Both of the last two images suggest Feminine Energy being in good repair.. I then began my Journey back as the Drum CD called me. I thanked all the Helpers who had shown up. Then the most unusual thing happened. The exact same time I shut off my CD player, a loud whistling noise began. At first I thought it was the Player..I checked but it was off. Then I thought it was one of my ears going nuts. But as I sat up and moved around, the sound varied. Then I realized it was the back-up sump pump. I went out and eventually got the whistling to stop. I went upstairs and only then realized that there had been a power interruption in the house hold current..at the exact same time my Journey ended (as demonstrated by the arrival of the high pitch noise just as I switched off the CD player)! I believe the force of my Spirit returning to this world actually caused a huge power spike that effected the house. Amazing.
