The Formula

The Shamanic Business Formula is formulated by Shamanic Mick to illustrate in western psycho-analytical terms how and why the method of Shamanic Dreaming works as a way of communicating directly with our subconscious mind. The process starts with formulating your Question. Without a specific question or aim the visions are wild and do not seem to make any sense. To start the session we use rhythmic drumming to induce a Trance-State, allowing your mind to enter an altered state of consciousness in which our thoughts and visions can “come to life”. We use our Imagination to imagine a starting point. Every time we do this we exercise our “Imagination Bicep” and thus every session the images become more clear. By using Linear Focus we force the wild ocean of visions into a storyline. To keep it linear we slowly move from the starting point to the next step, veeery slowly; allowing time for the subsconscious to come up with a suggestion for what happens next. Save every step in your memory before moving on the the next. It is important to let the entire storyline play out before our “eyes” before getting back into analytical mode and interpretation.

Once we have returned into a sober state of awareness we can start with interpretation of the storyline by observing and linking the different elements of the dream to our Subconscious Associations. Every element symbolises a different part of our life or self. By careful analysis of the Cause & Effect of every element we can slowly expose the Subconscious Knowledge that wants to come to the surface. Once this is clear we can use the metaphors as a playful mnemonic to integrate the knowledge into daily life.
