What is journeying?
When a shaman goes within, he/ she focuses deeper and deeper behind his or her eyes until the Shaman finds an image of himself/herself standing in a beautiful place in nature. From there he finds a way to travel to the Otherworlds that lie deep within our sunbcounscious mind.The rapid , pulsating, non-varying beat of the drum will bring the Shaman into altered states of consciousness.
Shaman means:one who works in the dark. To further ais the clarity of the visual imagery of the inner eye, the shaman wears a blindfold.
Exercice:
Some people find a difficult to visualize themself in their mind´s eye. A good practice is to first have a look at yourself in the mirror for a few minutes. Than close your eyes and try to hold the image in your mind´s eye.

Dragonfly inhabits two realms, water and air. As water represents the emotion and air represents the mental, those with this power animal will find themselves trying to maintain balance between thoughts and emotions. This gives them the compassion required for any type of work relating to healing and counseling.Dragonfly invites people to keep a light and positive outlook, no matter what. It´s rainbow wings reminds us we live in a world of magic and their fairy like quality make them auspicious Spirits to work with the power of Light and the fairy realms. It´s lifestyle exemplifies the virtue of living IN the moment and living life to the fullest. By living in the moment you are aware of Who you are, What you do, What you want or don´t want and make informed choices on a day to day base. Without regrets like the great Dragonfly !

Dragonfly was my first power animal I retrieved while journeying into a beautiful place in nature, called the Underworld in shamanism.Ever since it has been guiding me on my path and has been a wonderful teacher throughout the years. It is because of it´s meanings I have choosen the dragonfly as a symbol for this website.
Dragonfly symbolizes change in the perspective of self-realization and it ´s flight across the water represents an act of going beyond what´s on the surface and looking into deeper aspects and implications of life.
