Journey to Meet a Fylgja

First, situation yourself in a comfortable place. Place the blindfold or bandanna over your eyes. Next, add headphones and have the recording or music ready to play. This recording will help you to expand your awareness into the journey state more easily. Take a few minutes to breathe deeply and remember something that fills you with gratitude.

Once you have gotten yourself fully into this position, allow your memory to take you back to the most magical time. CHoose a place in which you have felt safe. These are often places in nature we have felt to be sacred. Once in that place in your memory, allow yourself to reexperience it with all your senses. 

Begin the shamanic music now. While listening to the rhythmic beat, engage all of your senses in being in your special place. Take notice of whatever you can. What time of day is it? Where is the sun or moon? Is there are breeze or is it still? Continue to explore. Get to know the trees, stones, and plants of your power-filled place.

Look for a place where you can enter the Lower World. This can be an animal burror, a hollow tree, or some other opening within the Earth. Enter the opening with the intention of traveling downward towards the Lower World to meet your fylgja. Keep going until you arrive at a new landscape.

Continue to repeat your hearts intention on meeting the spirit of your power animal. Feel it already accomplished, and while doing so use all of your senses to look for an animal or bird that may be revealing itself to you. You will know when you meet a power animal by noticing an animal that may be staying close to you, greeting yu, speaking to you, or otherwise attempting to form a connection.

When the drumming is finished, thank the power animal for being with you and retrace your steps back to your starting space. As you retrace your steps, allow your awareness to return to ordinary reality.
