About
• Presents shamanic tools to help you prepare to receive visions, release the burdens of the past, and bring clarity to your visions of the future
• Shares Earth Whispering practices to expand the senses, set intentions, and connect deeply with intuition and spirit helpers
• Offers advice on working with guides and soul protectors as well as the different realms a guide might emerge from
Visionaries dream the future into life, and throughout the ages shamans have served this role within their communities. Yet, how does one as an individual open to visions and allow the messages we need to hear to come through? Enter the stage of Shamanic Dreaming for a playful, evocative rendezvous with circle consciousness.
In this shamanic guide, visionary Carol Day shows how to access our creative potential to shape a strong vision for ourselves and others, connecting intimately to the world around with the support of seen and unseen realms. Earth whispering practices prepare for shamanic visioning by expanding the senses; we open up to different dimensions and initiate a conscious relationship with nature, myth, and archetype through the creativity wheel.
A time travel adventure through present, past, and future lands connects us with the ancestors and the future ones. Working with nature portals on the land and attuning with nature and animal guides, we visit the past to heal our ancestral lines. Visiting the future ones, we understand the importance of what we hold today in creating the environments and conditions of the future. Closing the circle to the present, our longing finds us ready to bring clarity to our own visions. Ingeniously crafted, Shamanic Dreaming provides us with all the practical skills needed for insightful visionary questing. Carol Day is a visionary teacher, psychotherapist, artist, and director of Creative Earth Ensemble in Scotland. Also the founder of the systemic story therapy, she runs a private practice and is involved in projects centered on creating community and connecting people back to the land. Carol lives in Glasgow, Scotland. Chapter 1. Presence and the Three Pillars
Presence is the central pole of the entire visionary practice. It is what runs through everything. It is the act of being present and of not running away or rushing. Presence is when we can unconditionally, while holding awareness and compassion, be able to be present with what is. I see presence as a place of power and courage. It is a stance that takes us out of dialogue and duality and takes us into a space of observation. It allows a meeting with the heart of any matter. Presence is the land where the visionary hangs out. It is a land free of judgement, advice or overlay. My personal feeling of when I get to this place of being able to be present is like the air conditioning comes on. It feels cool and disentangled but also very kind and loving.
With presence as the central pole, the three pillars sit as a triangle of what I refer to as concepts.
A concept is a central principle or idea. It is where conception happens. You can see how this leads us to an original impulse. We are looking to allow the original powerful impulse to come through in visionary work, so engaging with concepts is a good way to build a means for this to happen.
The Three Pillars
Pillar "Nature"
Nature can be likened to essence. It is the inherent qualities or character of anything. Nature is the first pillar of the visionary model. I use the term "innate nature" to suggest that we have an inherent way of being that is akin to nature. Nothing in nature pretends to be anything else (unless it is meant to, as camouflage for survival). The members of the nature world who do change form do so for a specially programmed and consistent reason. Humans, on the other hand, are shape-shifters extraordinaire. We can merge, absorb, project, take on and consume power and identity. We have such a gift, but s
