Interpreting the Journey

One of the most difficult things to do in addition to disciplining yourself to journey is interpreting what you have been given. It can be very difficult because at times the feelings, impressions, and thoughts may not seem to relate to anything obvious. Let me give you methods to help you in this process. When we communicate, whether we are conscious of it or not, we are agreeing upon the use of a language and idioms from a specific country and region in relation to the century from which they are used (e.g., twenty-first-century American English will differ from twentieth-century British English). When you are journeying as a shaman, keep in mind, as I mentioned before, that human beings are the only creatures that use language the way that we do. So that you may have more success, you need to ask your Guardian to work with you in order to create frames of reference. It is these points of reference that allow you to know which interpretations to use, in addition to the context, so you can properly grasp the message that others are trying to relay. Fortunately for you, at times you will also be running into beings of higher consciousness and intelligence on some journeys. These spirits will be able to communicate with you on your level of comprehension using terms you can understand. However, in the vast majority of cases, you are the one who will have to learn how to communicate.

Your Memories as Points of Reference

A point of reference that can be used is your own memories. Our lives are rich with stories from our life experiences that make us who we are. The stories of these recollections can be used as frames of reference that your Guardian can access to help interpret a message that an unfamiliar being may be trying to give you. Say, for example, that you are trying to figure out how to handle a difficult relationship. During your travel to Deeper Earth, a Deer calmly comes to you. The Deer looks at you gently and sends you feelings of warmth and of not being afraid. Although the message on the surface might be sufficient, you might be interested in going further to see what additional advice there might be. At that point, your Guardian will step in to act as an interpreter. In your mind’s eye, you get the flash of an image from one of your memories. It was when your best friend needed to be patient with you during a difficult point of your relationship with them. Observe how this friend responded to you and handled the situation that resolved the misunderstanding with the friendship intact. You may be asked to reflect on how the relationship was healed. Pay attention to the lessons and the steps you took to grow during this particular life story. This will help add depth to what the Deer was trying to say to you that your mind could not initially capture.
