In this week’s blog post, I will be taking a further look at Upper World Guardians – our guides when we journey into the Upper World. In the last blog, I focussed on what Upper World Guardians are and how you can find one. This week, I’ll look at what we can do with our Upper World Guardians and explain how they can help us in our everyday life.
What can I do with my Upper World Guardian?
As with Animal Spirits, the possibilities are endless but, again, let’s concentrate on three – on any shamanic journey, we can set our intention to ask our Upper World Guardian for a healing for our self, or we may ask a question, or we may ask our Upper World Guardian to strengthen our shamanic connections.
Okay, let’s take those one at a time. How do I get help with a specific ailment?
Journey to the Upper World with the intention of asking for a healing for your ailment (if you’re new to shamanic journeying, check out my previous blog post, Journeying For Newbies). Ask your usual Upper World Guardian, or one who appears to you and who is best suited to heal this issue, to begin the healing process. Your Upper World Guardian’s method might be different to mine but I visualise golden light, what the Q’ero call Sami energy, streaming from the long fingers of his hand into the affected area.
If there’s nothing specific bothering me, can I ask for a general healing?
Yes, indeed. Journey to the Upper World with the intention of asking for a general healing. Ask your usual Upper World Guardian, or one who appears to you and who is best suited to provide a general healing, to begin the healing process. Again, your Guardian’s method might be different to mine but my Guardian physically shifts his body into mine, so that I feel filled with healing light. When he steps away from me, my body still seems to shine with the light that has been gifted to me.
What question can I ask?
You may ask any question you like but it is best not to ask a binary question (one that has a yes or no answer).
As with your Animal Spirit, in general the answer will be spoken in metaphor. My personal experience is that it is much more abstract than your Animal Sprit’s response but you might establish a different level of communication. Once again, you need to allow the answer to ‘flower’ and do not be concerned if, at first, it does not seem to make much sense.
Is there anything an Upper World Guardian is particularly adept at answering?
Your Upper World Guardian is from the source of wisdom and inspiration, so you will find motivation here but if you need a more supportive or nurturing response, then your question might be better directed to your Animal Spirit (see my previous blog, Animal Spirits for Newbies).
Can I ask someone else what the answer means?
You could do but try not to deprive yourself of your direct connection with spirit – it is for you to make discoveries about the answer you have been given. Weeks later you may find that you unpick something totally new.
How can I strengthen my shamanic connections?
Again, the Seer’s Rite from the Munay Ki is particularly well-suited for a re-affirmation by your Upper World Guardian. As a reminder, in the Seer’s Rite, a crown of golden light and a necklace of light are traced by a shaman’s pi stone across our head, creating new cerebral pathways from our third eye to our occipital lobe (our visual processing centre) and the heart. The idea is to, ‘see through the eyes of the heart’, as we were always meant to see.
Ask your Upper World Guardian to pour golden Sami energy into your third eye chakra and become aware of the cerebral pathways, lighting up and pulsing with renewed energy. Then ask your Upper World Guardian to pour Sami energy into your heart chakra and become aware of the pathway traced as a necklace from your occiput to your heart lighting up and pulsing with the same healing energy.
Whether you received the Munay Ki rites recently or many years ago, this action refreshes and enhances the pathways, as well as serving as a gentle reminder to view the world with compassion.
Is there anything else we can do together?
Remember that your Upper World Guardian is a wonderful guide to the Upper World – go off and explore with them. You are going to discover different levels, crystal palaces and fascinating beings. Enjoy the experiences that lie ahead.
You are going to make great discoveries with your Upper World Guardian, who will assist you in finding health, happiness and the best possible version of yourself. I wish you much Munay on your path.
