How To Do Your Own Vision Quest

Written by Heather Anderson on January 14th, 2012
Summary:

This experience of becoming every thing all at the same time whilst on a vision quest lasted for around 3 weeks. Then I slowly returned to what I call ‘ordinary reality’. I remembered speaking to a friend about it at that time. He stated ‘Wow, that seems incredible!’ but I remember just telling him how regular and all-natural it felt. Such as this is the normal way we are meant to encounter the planet.

This experience of becoming every thing all at the same time whilst on a vision quest lasted for around 3 weeks. Then I slowly returned to what I call ‘ordinary reality’. I remembered speaking to a friend about it at that time. He stated ‘Wow, that seems incredible!’ but I remember just telling him how regular and all-natural it felt. Such as this is the normal way we are meant to encounter the planet.

Since that experience I’ve been on a 15 year quest. A quest to know ‘what happened’. A quest to find ways of accessing that state of ‘non-ordinary reality’ at will. This quest has taken me to live with magic males within the tropical jungles of Indonesia. To Native American Indians in the USA. And Aboriginal old people in Australia.

But mostly this quest has taken me into nature. Into aged natural forests. On the top of snow-capped mountain peaks. Beside rugged wind-swept coasts. Within the craters of volcanoes. Beside raging waterfalls. For in my experience the simplest means of accessing this state occurs on your own by immersing yourself within the wonder and mystery of nature. Finding and experiencing your true nature in nature.

After accessing this state hundreds of occurances I now understand how to get access to it at will. While driving my car. Whilst walking in supermarkets. While talking with friends. Like nature, this state is always there awaiting you to return. We can all access the world past the 1 we know.

The simplest way I’ve found is to totally let go of tension in both the body and mind. Completely let go of thoughts as they arrive and enter right into a state of innocence and no-mind. Then to consciously slow everything down – to see the world like viewing a movie in slow-motion. Just being in every second. Sensing each minute. Turning up each of one’s 5x senses in every second. Then to put your awareness on and go with the subtle pull of your life force that constantly directs you.

In my experience these would be the circumstances that allow the world beyond what we know to naturally arise… calm, no-mind, heightened senses in each moment and permitting the pull of your heart to guide you. In psychology terms I guess this drops me in to the ‘theta’ and ‘delta’ brain wave states whereupon the dream state happens. Perhaps that is why Aboriginals say that stepping into the spirit realm is the same as ‘dreaming’ and ‘the dreamtime’.

Creativeness, the language of the soul all of a sudden awakens. The language past the phrases we frequently use. The signs and symbols from nature talk loudly. The subtle voice inside turns loud. The force past speaks directly whilst inside this state. Tapping straight in to the wonder and mystery of nature. No sense of separation. Connection is all there is.

If you have time and right conditions we can all tap into this state. It is usually there just awaiting us to tap into. Like turning on a tap to reveal the h2o within. The water is always there. Likewise with the spirit inside, the wisdom that abounds. The synchronicities all over the place. Always existing. Just waiting to tap into.

If encountering this state speaks to you, I inspire you to browse through my web site.

If you would like to totally immerse your self within nature on a vision quest within the wilderness and know precisely how to pay attention for your soul and spirit then now is the correct time to seek advice.
