It has been awhile now and it is about time you learn how I walk between spiritual realms. I'm 100% certain you have been through the common "fill yourself with pure light" and it will lead you to your destination. But like most times that does not work for me. And perhaps it has not given you the most appealing results for you either. So what I will do now is give you a little walkthrough
(I will not dub this a guided meditation. It is a walkthrough how I experience it. You will have to evolve your own way eventually)
Now I want you to get comfortable, find a good set of music which you find sensible to make you relax a bit. Sometimes music themed to the realm you want to visit can help Celtic folk music if you aim for the fae realms of the british isle's as an example. (Find the music that makes YOU relax) You might have some candles or scented candles around, light them and let the coziness lay on your shoulders.
Close your eyes, feel the melody of the music or perhaps the flickering of the flames from the candles. Let your thoughts float around, think randomly...talk to yourself? Don't worry that is how it is meant to be.After awhile you might be able to see at first complete darkness, and then...is that a path lighting up ahead? Go follow it then! No need to dawdle with little me,
now this is where it becomes interesting is it a portal? a door? a gate? that appears at the end of the path? Or did you enter upon a crossroad? a forked road? Or do you happen to be one of those who walk into a tree or cave, was it perhaps a cave behind a waterfall?
Back in the good old days doors and thresholds specifically indicated boundaries between this realm (where we as humans live) and the next one..In some cultures this is called the after life, some call it the otherworld its thousands of names to use for this so I don't know all of it. But think of this next time you stub your toe against a doors threshold maybe you just opened a way to the otherworld?
A Single Path: Is often a very good start as a beginner it can be alight like a garden path with lights on each side. Or covered with sides and a thick forest on each side as well. At times when a single path appears there is sometimes a lesson in wait, it can be spiritual or it can be a discovery to help you advance. Depending on your current situation in life, some dead relatives might take a chance to meet you along this path and talk to you.
A path is an indicator of leading to a specific destination, where this destination is I cannot answer. An old assumption when people used to be lost in the forest it would be "Follow the river and we will find a village nearby" this was a common fact A river or water has been a major factor for creating settlements and villages for thousands of years
Forked Road: Now if you come across a forked road most think of a choice that needs to be taken. It is a very popular example in comics, and animated films. Sometimes most crucial incidents happen when the wrong choice is taken, but do not worry this is your travels in another realm. As long as your intentions are "right" for what you seek nothing will happen. .Are you willing to take the less hidden path? What is around the next turn? you might wonder. Go on then, don't let me hold you back. Might it be the thrill of that more hidden path to the right that calls you?
(These images are just examples of what you might come across it does not have to be a tree, it can be as simple as a pile of rocks that creates the forked road)
The Tree: The steady, never breaking tree. Wise and keeper of secrets, if there are nature spirits you are after perhaps a tree is what you will encounter. What I have experienced when I have been met with a tree, there commonly is "someone" waiting for me at the entrance. It can be a good idea to show them some respect or at least say "Hello" what is going on beyond that entrance depends on the realm and the ones who lives within the tree. If you are a Wiccan or a Pagan perhaps a god or goddess is awaiting you by this entrance. If you are openly spiritual it can be a spirit guide or a spirit animal...
Caves: For centuries upon eons caves have been a shroud of mysteries, in folktales and fairytales they hide treasures,in myths they lead to underworlds or realm of the dead. But in some old religions caves are called "the womb of the goddess" this is held in belief that the world began with a mother goddess who had a cauldron or cave, symbolically her belly where all creation came from. Inside these caves there can be many trials ahead of you, be it a labyrinth or a maze. On some occasions there might even be riddles for you to solve, and test your true intentions before you are allowed to enter. If you find yourself before a cave watch your words and mind, because reading thoughts is what they do best.
Water: The most well known threshold and barrier between this realm and the next is water, driven by the moon. Inspiration to mermaids, nymphs, nixes, kelpies and selkies...
The nourishment of thriving settlements and village, still a boundary with caution because of the many spiritual associations happening. When you encounter water at the end of your chosen path, be it a river, the beach, a lake, a pond, a waterfall.. Get a good look at your surroundings because around water things can change quickly, in my own "starting realm" there is a river that leads to a waterfall. '
Once a Unicorn was waiting for me exactly by the edge of the water, quite odd isn't it? Another time it was a lake at the edge of a forest and a huge island suddenly appeared out of nowhere. At the time this was the Isle of Apples or also known as Avalon, notably old kings of the British Isle's and their courts have their final rest here. But it is also the resemblance of an old religion that we can get brief information of through myths, legends and fictional books.
The reason I can write so much about water, is because I live on an island and along the coast I know it quite well. Visions, psychic awareness, spiritual encounters are often connected with water be it a test or a basin you are able to gaze into. You never know what you might see, perhaps it is something from a traumatic past, is it a forgotten memory from your childhood? I don't know the answer for you but you may or may not find out when you are ready. It is a source of the most simple cleansing, with just a bath or a shower. Time to show the new you to the world, enjoy your swim.Are you a Walker Between Worlds?
Personally I believe that everyone can do it. Be it from methods from books, from a CD with a guided meditation, or simply during a vivid/lucid dreams. There are hundreds of ways to reach this state but the experience differs each and every time. I think i have had affirmed ability of walking between worlds since I was 14... however new and fresh I was it was still very much real. I kind of felt like the girl in the picture to the right. Filled with wonder and fantastic abilities almost like a fairytale, is it real? Yes it can as real as you want to make it, I have a firm belief in this because of my experiences.
This will be something I may explain in further detail at a later time for now. I hope you take good time and do not stress with finishing this. It is not a contest but a developing journey for your own benefit.
See you in the next world? Perhaps...
