A couple of nights ago, I decided to take a shamanic journey to the Lower World to talk with my power animal. I already knew what my power animal is, a black panther. But, up till then hadn’t had a chance to ask questions, etc. So, for the first time, I went into my journey with conversation in mind.
Before journeying I debated whether I wanted to go into the Lower World, or for the first time, venture into the Upper World (the world where our spirit guides, angels, and other heavenly, higher vibrational beings reside). But, I decided to stick with the Lower World until I’d mastered it.
Using a shamanic drumming beat I have on my iTouch, I started on my way, and about 10 minutes later I was in the Lower World. After looking around for my power animal, she finally appeared and immediately pounced on me, knocking me to the ground. With her paws on my chest she asked angrily, “Why are you so fearful?”.
With the large cat on my chest, I answered, “I don’t know. I’m just am.” After a brief pause, I asked her, “Are you angry with me?”
Immediately, she pulled back and said, “Oh, no dear one.” She then wrapped her warm, soft legs around me lovingly and held me. “I am not angry with you at all! I love you!”. After holding me for a while she then crouched down on the ground and said, “Come. Get on my back and I’ll take you somewhere.” I did as she directed, and we suddenly flew into the air, and rose up and up and up. Instantly, I knew where we were headed, the Upper World! I remember being overwhelmed with joy, with tears streaming down my face.
After traveling upwards for a time, we passed through a cloudy, foggy layer and everything changed. In the distance I could see golden crystal spirals rising up into the air; buildings so beautiful I can hardly describe them to you. All around me were beings that I could sense, but not yet see. Then, suddenly, a female being came into my view. She was dressed in tribal garb, and looked alien; almost like the shaman in Avatar. I asked who she was and she said, “I am you from a past life.” So, it was true, I was a shaman once before.
Then the beat of the shamanic drum started to slow, and I knew I was being called back into the physical reality. But before I left the Upper World I was presented with three symbols in the following order:
NOTE: All three symbols were in line drawing format, or like icons
1) Person with arms raised. Above the person was an upright triangle.
2) A white lotus
3) A link of chain (possibly 12 links)
I did some research on the possible meaning of the symbols and came up with the following:
Triangle: The upright triangle in Western beliefs represents “Father, Son and Holy Spirit”, but it is also represents aspiration, rising force, and the male principal.
Lotus: The lotus is a natural emblem of growth and transformation. In my vision it was white, which means purity and spiritual perfection.
Chain: The chain can also represent a need to break bonds or links with people, ideas, or situations. It also represents a reward for acceptable and weighty service.
I also received a possible interpretation from a friend:
“The chain with the 12 links reminds me of the DNA that is suppose to be activated with ascending…to higher consciousness…lots of energy healing is based on this…the opening of the crown chakra. The lotus is often referred to in the opening of the crown chakra, also…as one truth comes in a pedal will open.”
Something else … In the Upper World, nothing was said to me about being afraid. Instead, I met a past life incarnation that was very indigenous. The word “shaman” came to my mind. I will have to weigh the rest of the message and see if I can come up with a final explanation.
