What is Shamanic Journeying?
One may journey to gain wisdom and information, to get in contact with spiritual guides and power animals, and for healing. Drumming, chanting, and dancing are ways of learning to travel to other dimensions. Journeying is a way of healing by ritualistic means. Some think that in journeying, the person’s spirit leaves the body and is healed by the spirits. Others believe that journeying allows access to one’s intuition or inner physician.
