Welcome

I invite you to my beginner course on how to do a shamanic journey, with a main focus on journeying to the Under World (also Lower World) to meet your Power Animal and bring its support back into daily life.

My name is Daniela, and I began learning shamanic methods in 2001 while living in Germany. I was taught by a wonderful teacher who trained me in professional aura balancing, trance dance, shamanic journeying, and soul retrieval.

FAQ about Shamanic Journeying

Shamanic journeying is a guided inner experience (often with drumming) used to connect with spiritual allies for insight, healing, and guidance. A Shamanic Journey is a spiritual practice, and it is a way of exploring the spiritual realms, and making contact with spirits, spirit animals, power animals, lost souls, angels, ancestors, elders, or departed shamans.
It is a way of finding out more about yourself, or finding information, healing, wisdom, knowledge, and guidance with one’s personal life.

There are many reasons to do a Shamanic Journey. If you feel drawn to Shamanism, and if you want to find out more about yourself, or finding answers to questions, then a shamanic journey will be very helpful. Maybe you already tried to do this through a meditation, but it didn’t really work out for you. A shamanic Journey will help to improve your meditation skills, and you will learn to see in the dark, which means, to see with your inner eye, or third eye.

Yes. It’s step-by-step and grounded, with clear preparation so you can journey safely and confidently.

Symbolically speaking, a Power Animal is a part of you. Power Animals are a reflection of your deepest self. It represent qualities which you have, or need, in this life. Often these qualities are hidden, because of a shock or trauma. Through this journey we focus on how to find your Power Animal, and bring it back into your life, so that you will experience more energy and Inner peace. A Power Animal is a spiritual ally that supports you with strength, protection, and guidance — and you can build an ongoing relationship with it.

That’s normal. The course includes tips and an alternative method if you don’t meet your Power Animal after a few journeys.

No. You only need a comfortable space, something to cover your eyes, and the drumming audio (included in course).

The course focuses mainly on the Under (Lower) World for Power Animal work, and also includes gentle introductions to the Middle World and Upper World.

No. This course is for spiritual practice and personal growth and is not a substitute for medical or mental-health care.

You’ll learn a structure you can repeat. Many students start with short journeys and practice regularly (even a few minutes at a time).

The course teaches preparation, grounding, and boundaries. Always go gently and stop if you feel overwhelmed.

This course gives a clear foundation and gentle introductions. Deeper work (like journeying for others, symbols, and soul retrieval) is covered in advanced courses.

Amazing Course On Shamanic Journeying!

I highly recommend this course for people who have a difficult time reaching a true meditative state. I know this can be tough in our busy lives. Just listening to the drumming will put you in a harmonizing mediative trance, and then Wow! What a trip!

My new favourite spiritual practice

This is a really great course. Clear and concise information, I could stop and start at anytime thanks to the learning platform and as with all of Gatelight’s courses there are handouts and notes I can easily go back to if I don’t feel like watching the videos again. What I really loved was that it made shamanic journeying easily accessible for me where I had previously been interested but turned away because it seems a little too serious or complex. I also do not have the luxury of going out into the wild for days at a time which is what I had been previously led to believe needed to happen. With this class I can now do it in the comfort of my home but with all the intent and purpose that is required. It forces me to shut my door (sorry cats) and take time for myself in a way that I can’t do with just meditation alone and it delights me every time with it’s magic and the incredible insight I gain. Try it and you’ll see what I mean :)
