Offering techniques from psychonauts ancient and modern, this guide helps to navigate consciously into altered states and the psyche. Psychonavigation is the art of mindfully exploring the realms of consciousness. It requires a map, a guide, and a clear intention, so one does not emerge overwhelmed and struggling with unexpected shadow material.
Mapping the way as a step-by-step process, the authors take us through 3 pathways for entering altered states: lucid dreaming, shamanic trance journeys, and with psychedelics. With drumming-induced trance journeys, they explore the effect of shamanic drumming on brainwave frequencies alongside recently discovered consciousness teachings from ancient cultures like the Altai of Russia. Their advanced lucid dreaming training offers techniques to induce and maintain lucidity, honing inner navigational tools and integrating suppressed parts of oneself. Finally, they explore how the mindful use of psychedelics can be enhanced by these ancient mystical tools that offer a safe container for optimal integration and meaning making.
Ancient psycho-spiritual techniques meet ultra-current science in these skillful methodologies that enable seekers to properly process their meaningful experience.
