When you start your path of shamanic journeying, your quality of life increases quickly. What used to be your best days now become your worst days. I’m not kidding!
It makes it easy to forget that I didn’t use to be this person. Before shamanism, I used to lack any feeling of connection to myself or my own life. Waves of depression came and subsided since I was really young. I nearly ended my own life a few times. Now I’m so thankful I didn’t.
I was a “high functioning” depressed person like a lot of us are. Because it triggered me to be called out on my energy (vibe checking someone who’s dealing with depression hurts so please remember to be sensitive and caring when you try to help them). So I hid it.
Until I couldn’t anymore and I kept getting sicker. I was forced to face it and only then I cured myself through shamanic journeying. Because this was an incurable debilitating disease, this was a miracle that gave me permission to TRUST journeying and shamanism as a practice. I needed to do the impossible to get my sceptic mind on board with what was to become my purpose in life: healing others through shamanic journeying and shamanism.
Through soul retrieval in journeys I integrate soul parts that have split off due to trauma. This creates instant relief and wholeness. The disconnection from the self that causes depression is replaced by a warm loving feeling of completeness. And this is just laying the foundation in your energy field.
I’ve not only helped others heal depression in shamanic journeys, among many other things, I have also never felt depressed again in my life. I’m actually excited about my life, because it’s exciting! This is all thanks to my shamanic journeying practice.
I can’t wait to wake up the next day and journey. In these shamanic journeys I experience miracles regularly, like receiving information about my life and purpose as well as connections with amazing beings. This is such an honor and nothing brings me more joy than the unexpected experiences I’ve had on this path.
Journeying for others has given me purpose and a sense of belonging in this world, that I still don’t feel connected to in many ways. But I now have a sense of why I’m here and why I’ve had some of these bad experiences. And helping others proves I actually am exactly where I’m supposed to be, which is journeying – in that sense shamanic journeying is a means as well as an end.
My depression and soul fragmentation made me make some poor decisions in the past, that by any means should have disqualified me from having this beautiful of a life. But source doesn’t work like that. And there’s a Buddhist saying that those who have suffered the most deserve the most happiness, and I remind myself of this in the moments when I feel unworthy. And it makes sense, because ultimately karma is about perfect balance, which is what we restore in shamanic journeying.
I hope this gives hope to those of you who need it.
With love,
Jessica
