Havasupai Journey- Intentions and Preparations

INTENTIONS:

Our journey starts with our desire to deeply look with our own inner landscape, paying attention to our own somatic feeling body, allowing shadow and unseen energies to emerge. It is here that we locate with delicious awareness and interest the purpose of our outer journey, and hints about how we can use the external natural world for healing and evolving. We use the friction and challenge of external activities to forge and align our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual bodies, to overcome and allow life to penetrate the deepest corners of self. Then we use the tribe to help us through to birth into being.

INTERNAL PREPARTIONS FOR YOUR JOURNEY

~ Look and listen within your skin: What is my intention on this journey?

Instead of thinking one up, listen deeply in quiet meditation, and wait for your purpose to emerge from the depths of self. Once found, ask the earth and your guides for affirmation. Pay quiet attention to how the outer world is speaking to you through animals, plants, weather, people.

~ Go for longer and longer walks in nature, noticing qualities of sound and visual beauty of the land. Feel into the space between you and trees, plants, animals, other people. Notice with peripheral sight the delicate differences of space.

~ Write/ draw/ hum/ sing/ dance, creating a sacred entryway to our Grand Canyon journey.

~ Invite the unspoken, unseen shadow within you to rise, with the intention of making friends with all aspects of self.

~ Create a dream journal, using primarily symbols and drawings, only minimal words. Remember your day before falling asleep using as much of your five senses as possible in recall. Ask for guidance in your dreamscape.

Share these dream memories with others on-line (InnerVisionOuterQuest.com)

before the trip.

~ Start a daytime diary and really look into "what is the purpose of my existence?" Am I following that purpose at all cost? If not, what is in the way? Make a list of limiting beliefs or fears that stop you from living in your deepest truth and passion. What issues are you bringing on the Journey that you would like to address? The Grand Canyon Havasu is a powerful birthing bowl that accelerates transformation. It brings up the essence shadow that is waiting to be felt and accepted. By identifying your intentions before the Journey and creating a tribal connection on-line, we can have a deeper experience in the Canyon.

~ Be in touch with each other about your pre-journey feelings and discoveries, creating tribal link before we go.
