Walking Between the Worlds
How to Practice Timelessness and Taste Infinity
I am Deanna Strandquist, Wind Haven Shaman. I am a Firewalker. Firewalking is a shamans ability to walk between worlds – the world of everyday reality, and the world of Spirit.
There are multiple ways to view the world. Some of you may be aware of the states of consciousness:
1)     There is the everyday dream – the individual consciousness, where people are walking about in a dream of their everyday world created by their thoughts and beliefs. They are characters in their movie, living out their lives in a dream cut off from awareness of a larger reality.
2)     There is the Superconscious – we may access this through meditation. One may see from the universal mind, they are the witness to larger forces of energy and nature at work
3)Â Â Â Â Â Somewhere between the two of these perhaps lies the truth
The firewalker exists outside of the dream because she sees the different worlds at once.
Enlightened masters describe people as sleeping. Firewalking is to be awake.
I want to show you how you can be awake to your life, and break free from the dream of everyday reality.
In our western world, time owns our society. We are bound by expectations, rules, and a collective dream of what our life should be like. We are born, we grow, we live, and eventually we die. Most of us are living our lives on AUTOPILOT.
Think about the American Dream – having a good job, 2.5 kids, a house with a picket fence, a dog and a nice lawn. That is a dream imposed by modern society as the ultimate life. But it truly is a dream, and for many can be a nightmare – with that dream comes working at a job you hate, working only to pay the bills for the house, the car, and the vacation – all part of the collective dream.
But I want to show you how to Wake from this DREAM. You can do this by practicing Timelessness.
No linear time connected – no sequence of events, all is possible in this moment
We can connect with the ALL, with Spirit or Source, and with all Creation
We have ability to move easily between the worlds – that of this world & the world of Spirit
WE can be completely conscious in this moment – beyond what is known, having the trust that all is going to be there for us
Allows you to drink directly from the nectar of life – to be fully available to taste the sweetness
The Raven is our Emmissary to entering Timelessness.
Raven speaks to us in the mythic world. Nothing is isolated in this life. All is inter-related somehow and all contributes to the whole. Don’t dismiss events you notice as coincidence. Notice them as synchronicities, they abound all around you.
When you are bombarded with everyday life, and its demands, call upon Raven and step out of time, and taste infinity. When you are in the NOW, there is no time for worry or regret or projection.
The most powerful mechanism for stepping out of time is your INTENT. Each of you may not be aware of how powerful you are. When you set your intent – magical things can happen.
The first thing you can do is to connect to Source through connecting with your 8th Chakra – the Peruvian shamans call it your Wiracocha.
It resides in a ball above your head. Practice bringing this energy down around you. This will allow you to connect with Spirit for a short time. When you lose focus this energy snaps back up into its original location, in the ball above your head.
 Practice bringing it down – feel sense or imagine the energy. It might feel cool, squishy or like a breeze.
 Bring it down around you and notice your senses will be heightened.
 After you practice it a few times, you can bring it down without making the physical movements
We can practice living in Timelessness everyday by setting our intent:
1)Â Â Â Â Â Allow synchronicity into your life, it demands that you be present in the Now. Even getting ready for the future happens in the now.
2)Â Â Â Â Â Think about this moment and perceive it as it stands. Then practice elongating these moments of NOW
3)     BREATHE – no time to it, practice expansiveness between each inhale and exhale
 You have to find a moment of peace in this crazy world, and stepping out of time will help you.
One of the tools you can use is the Infinity Symbol - the sign that represents the immeasurable and the boundless – it is the Symbol which with which we can access Timelessness.
As a symbol of the infinite and eternity, this symbol can open up a further level of consciousness, helping us to restore our lost unity with Creation and to once again feel at one with the world and all living things.
If you are sitting in a meeting, or on a bus, you can use this powerful symbol, and call upon the energies of Raven to step out of time, even for a moment, to become one with all, and to wake up from the dream.
Then you can come back to your everyday reality, feeling at peace and connected.
Lets take a moment to call in the energies of Raven, and practice using the Infinity Symbol.
You can trace it on your hand, or allow your body to make the movement. Â
Once you become familiar with the energies, and what it feels like, you can use this symbol to step out of time and taste infinity at any time you are feeling overwhelmed with the demands and pressures you might be feeling.
Fear is the underlying cause of all our worries or regret.
Using the tool of Stepping out of Time aligns you with your highest self. Worry and regret both have huge emotional charges that cause us to be out of balance or alignment.
