In these
journeys, we can enter our own past
lives for inspiration, healing and enlightenment.
We may experience communication with people who are not physically
present, such as a friend or relative who has left this Earth.
We can experience contact with higher beings, such as spiritual
guides, or own own Higher Wisdom.
We can
also re-visit past events in our current
lifetime --incidents which have strongly influenced our life
course. If certain past events were overwhelming, re-visiting
them from a place of greater safety can begin a process of
deep emotional healing.
These
journeys frequently involve Inner-Child
Work -- reclaiming our creativity, courage, strength,
sensitivity, joyfulness, or other aspects of our being that
we may have disowned, hidden or lost in our efforts to survive
disturbing events. In this process, we meet and reconnect
with a younger version of ourselves and provide whatever our
younger self needs: such as protection, recognition, kindness
and understanding. We can also give this younger self the
opportunity to express and do (safely) whatever he or she
needs and desires.
In rescuing our younger selves, we
reclaim the soul treasures which they contain. For example,
we can regain the confidence, playfulness, or trustfulness
which was ours before the disruptive events.
Our experiences
on these journeys may be literally true, or symbolic, or both.
Sometimes we powerfully sense the reality of our discoveries.
Other times, we may feel less certain. In any case, as with
nighttime dreams, we can learn a lot about ourselves from
the visions which emerge from the depths of our psyche.
For the
purposes of healing and personal growth, it is not
essential to know whether or not our memories are literally
accurate. It is far more useful to learn how we have responded
to whatever happened. We can discover -- and transform --
the beliefs, emotions and attitudes which formerly may have
kept us trapped.
In some
journeys, symbolism clearly predominates. We may experience
shifting and flowing images which in themselves can bring
a wealth of meaning and a powerful emotional charge. Genuine
healing energies, transformations and revelations can unfold
from within these altered states of consciousness.
