Ever wondered about the types of questions you should ask during a shamanic journey? Let’s explore the art of questioning in this spirit realm.

Now, when I talk about questions in a shamanic journey, I’m not referring to your journey’s intention. That’s about discovering something or healing a part of yourself. What we’re discussing here are the questions you pose to your spirit guide or spirit animal while journeying. The important thing to remember is that we’re not trying to engage our logical minds during this process.

So, the most logical type of question is a yes or no question. It’s a bit like a binary query, right? Does this make sense or does that make sense? Is this true or is this false? These are questions you could ask a computer. But hold on, these questions aren’t the best choice, especially if you’re new to shamanic journeying. Why? Because they pull you back into your logical mind, and the whole point is to venture beyond that into the intuitive, expansive world of the spiritual realm.

Yes or no questions often tie into your ego or your desires. They’re like asking someone for a favor, hoping for a “yes” because it validates what you already feel. But here’s the twist: when you’re expecting a particular answer, it can cloud the response you receive. 

When you ask a question during a journey, it’s more like having a conversation. It’s not simply asking, getting a yes or no, and moving on. Your Spirit Guide responds with symbols, colors, animals, landscapes, and actions, creating a dreamscape that you’ll recognize from your ordinary dreams.

So, what makes a good question for this symbolic, poetic language? Well, a good question starts with words like “what,” “how,” “when,” or “where.” These questions are open-ended, and that’s the ticket. They don’t limit you to a binary answer. For instance, if you ask, “When will I be able to do such and such?” you’ll likely get a complex answer. It might involve several steps and challenges. It opens up a world of possibilities.

Or, “What would you advise me to choose if I wanted to do this and that?” Another open-ended question. It’s not about doing this or that, but exploring the rich variety of options. 

During your journey, the answer won’t come in simple words or situations; it’s often wrapped in symbols and enigmatic sensations. Sometimes the answer is a physical feeling of ease or discomfort. Sometimes it doesn’t correlate directly with your emotions because, hey, journeying can be complex.

Remember, the answer depends on the context of your question and your spirit guide’s wisdom. That’s why yes or no questions can be so tricky; they leave much room for interpretation. That’s why I recommend questions that start with “what,” “how,” “when,” or “where.”

Consider questions like:

– “How can I explore my potential to its fullest?”

– “How can I be more successful in five years?”

– “What persone can I become in a decade?”

– “What’s the best way to tackle this work related challenge?”

– “How can I mend the relationship with my family?”

These open-ended questions bypass your ego and logical mind. It might be tough at first, but with practice, you’ll distinguish between your desires and the genuine answers.

Since the best answers often surprise us. They feel like they come from outside ourselves, offering a fresh perspective. This element of surprise and curiosity makes the journey exciting, engaging in a dialogue with your spirit guide, never sure what’s coming next.

Lastly, remember that the ultimate question in many spiritual traditions is “Who am I?” When you deeply know yourself, many other questions become irrelevant. They melt away because you act from a place of clarity about your purpose.

But to get there, you might want to start with questions like, “Show me who I am without…” — whether that’s without familial influence, cultural conditioning, or societal expectations. These questions peel away the layers of the onion that obscure your true self.

In conclusion, think of your questions as a spectrum. Yes or no questions are at one end – logical, binary, and ego-driven. In the middle, you have open-ended questions like “what,” “how,” “when,” and “where,” which are wide open to interpretation. At the other end, you have questions that are super open-ended, like “show me.”

Focus on the open-ended questions to access the deep wisdom of your journey. Be curious, open, and patient. If you don’t receive a clear answer at first, that’s perfectly okay. Keep asking, keep exploring, and you’ll unlock the mystical insights of your shamanic journey.
