The World Above:

Like the Inner World, this world is a place where we look to most days, however it is also much more meaningful than it first appears. This is the world of cosmic forces, the place where the planets roam and the stars shine. In this world, we imagine our ancestors watching over us, and angelic beings. You can turn to Father Sun to shine his light upon you here. The ancestors in the stars, Grandmother Moon, and Grandfather Sky are here. This is the place of the Universal Soul, where all becomes one.

A shamanic practitioner may use a drum to reach and explore the cosmos, perhaps first using a creative pathway out to the World Above. Remember that you need to have a starting point that you can return back to when venturing so far away. Imagine you always have a chord back to this place, for you to return to the physical World Without, or to the Inner World to do your business there.

Job/Career - Work to live/provide. Property for investment. Growth. Travel for business. Sex for physical pleasure, and drive.

The World Without:

This world is as exactly what it says it is. It is all that is around you that you can see, hear, taste, touch and smell. This is the world of animals, plants and other parts of nature. The world of your loved ones, friends, community, workplace, and the bigger world that you are in touch with through technology and in newspapers and magazines. This is a place where you will find plants and stones, mountains, deserts, forests, and all that is part of nature; the creatures of the earth, sky and sea. Remembering also that spirits and ancestors may also wonder this world, and may attach themselves to trees and stones. You can see these etched or carved in different place when you take good care to look. Some people may also see or sense fairy folk, divas, guides and angelic beings in this world, as they can walk in many worlds.

You will also find spirits dwelling in this world. And unseen beings like faeries and woodland creatures - who rely on Mother Nature as their bridge between worlds. Spirts of Country who are destined to care-take the song-lines and sacred sites dwell in this world.

The World Below:

While animal spirits and guides can travel between worlds, just like you, you may also find them good company when you visit the World Below as it is a darker place under the earth. In this place you find the physical presence of crystals, earth, water, salt, minerals, lava and so on.  However, each of these inhabitants also have a spirit body. We tend to work with the spirit of what we find in the World Below for healing and expansion of consciousness. You may connect with animal spirits who live under the earth. You may send energy to be transformed to this place – into crystal beds, or the Earth’s heart, or womb. Or, you may travel to this world to retrieve lost parts of your soul that are ready to come back to the light. Often these lost parts are the light parts of you, and they are really happy to reconnect.

The World Within:

This is a world you will be very familiar with as we all have introspection happening in a natural way as we think quietly to ourselves and use our imagination to look at things in our own unique way. The shamanic approach to the inner worlds goes a lot deeper than reflecting, thinking and imagining however. The inner World is accessed through a veil of creative consciousness. You are taken through this veil into a world where you can create anything you like with your imagination. It is a world also where you can meet your guides, animals spirit guides, and teachers. You can bring anyone or anything into this world to assist you to find out more about what is going on in your life. You can create a natural environment to do your ‘inner work’ and soul business here. You can clear and clean your energy field, sit on top of your sacred business mountain, search out a landscape to heal in, go for a journey with the drum to discover something, or retrieve a part of your soul that has been lost. There are no limits as to what you can create and do in the World Within.

This direction is about the internal landscape of your psyche, and all that happens in there. This is the place you go to access guidance, and to find the archetypal parts of you, such as the Inner Child, of Wise Woman/Man Within. You may travel to an inner garden here as a place of reflection, planning, meditation, healing, and exploration. This is also a sensory world of intuition and feeling.

The Central World

This is not seen as a separate world, rather it is a place of unity and wholeness, is where all directions and worlds come together. As Co-Creators we learn that we can choose a singular focus and place it in centre, drawing energy and light from all directions to amplify its vibrations.
