Astral Expeditions
Shamanic journey meditation
Take the old shamanic road: an opening in the earth, a tunnel down, and whatever waits at the bottom for you.
You follow a route into the earth, moving through a tunnel to find the open space waiting at the bottom. The session settles on the act of going down and then standing still to see what is there.
You are not asked to solve anything or change a single detail.
You stand before an opening in the earth and begin a slow descent down a tunnel into the dark. The path is wide and clear, leading you steadily towards whatever waits at the bottom of this long slope.
There is no need to rush the journey, and the ground beneath you is solid enough to trust completely.
What’s in it
An opening in the earth, a tunnel down, and a place at the bottom to explore.
Why do it
A clear path and a dark space to wander through can be a simple way to let the mind drift freely.

Where it sits
Bolder inner voyages: astral travel, time travel, distant worlds, and quiet contact.
These go further than the calmer journeys. You stay in control the whole time, and you can stop any time by opening your eyes and breathing. New to this? The journeys below are a softer place to start.
Why going here does anything
A single track through a dark space gives the eyes nothing to chase and the hands nothing to fix.
The mind follows the tunnel down simply because it is there, and that gentle, repetitive motion keeps attention occupied with the act of going lower. This place is just a long, easy way to let your thoughts drift.

Hypnosis is not for everyone. If you have epilepsy, a psychotic illness, or you are under psychiatric care, talk to your clinician before using this — here or anywhere.
