184 SECRETS OF SHAMANISMor knowledge that can help you strengthen the two weaker
aspects of yourself.Exercise #1: The Steps
- Relax and close your eyes.
- Ask your guardian or power animal for help in bal-
ance. - Ask for assistance in knowing what type you are.
- Journey for information.
- Thank your guardian.
Exercise #2: Balance for Head People
When caught in endless analysis, do something, not about
the problem, but about something else. Get your body mov-
ing. Listen to emotional music, sing, draw, or paint.
Head people tend to be most comfortable with the fifth
and sixth main tunnels of the spirit body. However, the sec-
ond, third, and fourth tunnels are often blocked. This is
where you need to explore and clear the most with the help
of your power animal.Exercise #5: Balance for Heart People
When caught in sentimentality, subjectivity, or a quagmire
of emotion, move the body. Dance, shake, crawl on your
belly like a reptile. Pick a subject or object and figure out
how it was made or how it got that way. Let your energy
drop down a notch to your belly or raise up a notch to your
head. Do some talking.
Heart people are most comfortable with the second,
third, and fourth main tunnels of power and less familiar
with the sixth and fifth tunnels. If you are seeking balance,
these are where you could benefit the most in your journeys.Exercise #4: Balance for Gut People
When caught in action without rationale or feeling, listen
to music, pay attention to what is happening in your chest
area. Breathe deeply. Stop and think. Talk to someone about
what you intend to do. Express your sexuality with heart.
Gut people are most comfortable with the first, second,
and third main tunnels and least acquainted with the fourth,
fifth, and sixth tunnels. Exploring these less familiar tunnels
helps to balance gut people.
