Shamanic Trance: Tapping Into Higher States of Consciousness Through the Theta State ⚕️
Mid-December (2023) I channeled that spirit was putting a large emphasis on play, joy, feeling free to express, dance, and sing. Tapping into our freedom and creativity allows us to enter higher states of consciousness, therefore creating an energetic space for healing and intuition.
And honestly, what is life without joy, dancing, singing, and fun? To put it frankly, fucking miserable.
Creativity and having fun is a spiritual practice as it raises your vibration to easier access higher realms.
And actually, we can measure this.
We’ve been able to identify the type of waves that are active within our brain when we are in this higher-vibrational and healing state. It’s called the Theta State.
The Theta State and How it is Related to Shamanistic Trance
The Theta State, also known as Shamanistic Trance, is evidence of a higher state of consciousness that unlocks a door to healing information, releases stuck energy/emotions, opens the door to psychic abilities, and allows spiritual experiences. Overall, this state invites a higher perspective on the human experience for the sake of tapping into joy, healing, and your soul.
types of Brain Waves & what they feel like
Before inducing theta, it’s good to contextualize other brain waves (so you can tell the difference when you’re actively experiencing theta):
Beta Waves
13-30 Hz
alert, focused, and active
concentration and analytical thought
stress and overthinking can occur in this state
this is where your brain is right now
Alpha Waves
8-13 Hz
more relaxed
daydreamy
“hypnogogic” state when falling asleep
between sleep and waking
called the link between the conscious and the subconscious
Theta Waves
4-8 Hz
deep trance state
peak spiritual experiences occur
inspiration and creativity can be accessed
repressed emotions can surface
drowsiness or arousal may occur
REM and dream state when sleeping
children are in theta most of the time
Delta Waves
up to 4 Hz
deep sleep state without dreams
the body physically rejuvenates and repairs here
access the non-physical states of reality here
How to Tap Into Higher Realms and Enter the Theta State
Sing for 15 minutes. Singing has so many benefits. You calm your nervous system, release pent up energy, and enter higher states of consciousness.
Dance. Dance is a practice of freedom. In Shamanism, dancing would be compared to taking flight, much like a bird would. Travel spiritual planes by moving your body.
Maybe you’re more hands on, play the drum and maintain a beat of 205-220 bpm for at least 15 minutes to induce trance as the drum is the heartbeat of the Earth. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be good at it!
Listen to shamanic drumming for about 15 minutes in meditation to induce trance. I like this track the best at 1.25x speed. :)
This practice of inducing trance is so powerful for new and full moons as you’re stepping into new ways of being while healing and releasing old energies.
As I’m writing this, the year is newly 2024. Among myself and my peers, we are all experiencing breakdowns of lives that are no longer in service to our highest intentions. In the midst of this intense period, it can be difficult to grasp the thread that leads to the greatest possibility. A practice such as this and meditation can help to retrieve inspired information of where our next step can lead us to our best steps.
Sometimes all we need is a little divine perspective to bridge our current world to heaven here on Earth.
With love and faith in you,
