With a vision quest I find a lot of people start to obtain direct messages from nature and spirit about their intention for going on the vision quest. For instance if they start to notice the scurrying of ants through a forest they may relate this to how they’re currently living their existence. Or if they discover an eagle soaring above they may interpret that as needing much more ease and grace in their current life scenario.
The interpretation of these signs from nature and spirit are unique to the person and personally I find common interpretations of such signs are not as effective as the meaning individuals give to them.
This stage of becoming ‘at one’ with nature is a powerful, powerful period throughout the vision quest procedure. It’s when the biggest insights into problems and difficulties come up. These insights come from beyond the rational and seemingly come straight from ‘spirit’. Most frequently they occur spontaneously and directly from spirit.
Spirit is simply the force that guides existence. We each have our own authentic nature. And alone for several days with out distractions we access our authentic nature in nature. I define this ‘alignment’. And we get to determine what’s the right course of action to naturally take regarding the intention we have set.
Following this stage of communicating straight with spirit, nature and our authentic nature the next phase of the vision quest would be to integrate the insights you obtain. It’s fantastic to obtain the insights however the entire point of the vision quest process would be to align your life with what you are meant to be doing within this lifetime.
The integration phase is about creating a step-by-step plan of action to do when you return to your regular life following your vision quest. When you have obtained large insights that require an almost 180 degree shift within the way you are operating then this stage can be very difficult.
For example I used to operate as an Engineer however it was crystal clear on the vision quest I went on in the mountains of France this was like being a square peg inside a round hole and was out of alignment with what I was meant to be doing. It had been also obvious this nature-based spirituality connection was the route I was meant to be walking within this life-time.
The insight arrived quite suddenly nevertheless the problem arrived from taking two paths at the same time till I brought my external existence into alignment with the internal vision. It’s this integration stage of the vision quest that will be probably the most challenging.
Most people select to do a vision quest at a transition time period within their life. The transition differs for just about everyone however the most typical themes I come across are romantic relationship issues, life objective and direction, well being concerns and merely connecting at a deeper level with nature.
Go on a vision quest within nature and discover how you can have a spiritual experience. Gain a sense of oneness throughout a nature quest and experience what it is to be enlightened.
