"Vision Quest" and the "Inner Demon"   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #483 of 1063 |
"Vision Quest"?
---------------

The "Vision Quest" is an ancient way of confronting an inner demon
(e.g. self-doubt, powerlessness, insecurity, over-
control, "madness", "frustration", rage, projected anger) that is
presently limiting our life.

If we can confront, "tame", and "transform" our inner demon into a
friend, then the scene is set for the unfolding of a "NEW VISION" of
how our life might move forward to a fuller unfolding of our
potential, and a glimpse or clarification of our "life purpose".

The challenge and heightened self-awareness provided by a Vision
Quest gives a great opportunity to access an inner strength and
resourcefulness which we thought we had lost, or which we think we
simply don't have!!

By going to the edge of (manageable!) fear and (perceived!)
isolation, in a trained and supported situation, we can confront the
current inner demon which keeps us:

** SABOTAGING ourselves from creating the kind of life we really
want

OR...

** HOLDING BACK from being more fully the kind of person we would
really like to be - perhaps an authentic, spontaneous self, as
opposed to any people-pleasing, coping, struggling or "managing"
personality" we might sometimes hide behind?


Supported by Nature!
-------------------
Sometimes we lose connection with inner and outer (NATURe-AL)
resources that are our empowering and supportive heritage as earth-
dwellers AND as descendants of the thousands of generations of our
ancestors - the thousands of generations who over millions of years
built up a vast range of DNA resources which they have bequeathed
us - for us to draw on in times of challenge.

There is no better place to contact the support, blessings,
abundance and joy of own "inner nature" TOGETHER WITH the support,
blessings, abundance and joy of "outer nature" - Mother Nature and
the Cosmos - than under a moonlit, starry sky surrounded by trees,
plants, birds and animals.

Opening to Divine Connection?
----------------------------
Solitude, heightened awareness, direct contact with the earth,
surrounded by the wonders of nature and the cosmos - there is no
more powerful place to open, or renew, our contact with spiritual
resources.

As an old saying goes "When we lose the material world, that is when
we find God!" - in whatever form "God" (the Divine Experience &
Support) becomes real to us - be it as a "Spirit Guide", "Guardian
Angel", Buddha, Christ, Goddess, Allah, Jehovah, Fairae, or "Nature
Spirit", Our Soul etc.

A Vision Quest Opportunity in Cambridgeshire
--------------------------------------------
If you would like to confront and transform the "inner demon" that
is currently sabotaging you, and open up to a "New Vision", I am
offering an evening of preparatory training/attunement, followed by
the chance to spend a whole night (or less!) in a darkened wood, or
if preferred, in a secluded moonlit meadow - all alone!

The preparation evening will include:

* an opportunity to share your fears, blockages or dreams with
others

* the drumming of a "shamanic journey" (a guided yet also self-
creative meditation) to access an unconscious-mind inner image of
your "demon"

* tips on how to survive, enjoy, and make the most of, your
personal "Vision Quest"

* Health & Safety Tips

In the morning there will be the chance to share breakfast and share
your overnight experience.

Now or Later?
------------
If you have never attempted a "Vision Quest" before, or you have another "Demon"
to confront, or "New Vision" to generate, now is a great time to face the
challenge!!

- Mother Nature is "surging with energy" at this time of year and outdoor
biting insects have not yet reached nocturnal plague proportions!

Further Information
-------------------
If you are interested and would like to know more, please contact me
on 01223-780695 or via the enquiry form on this webpage:
http://www.sunflower-health.com/workshops.htm

Let me know if you especially seek a fine weather or wet weather
experience? Full moon, partial moon or dark moon? Enclosed wood
or "open to sky" meadow?


May the gentle breeze that blows through a pine forest bring you peace, joy and
inspiration!

Mike
