I would like to recommend a book by Sandra Ingerman called Shamanic Journeying: Beginner's Guide. Ingerman addresses an issue that sometimes comes up in journeying--the idea that what you are experiencing is all in your head.
My shamanic teacher said this exact thing to me the first time I journeyed with her. She said that one of her recent students dismissed the places they went as being a product of the mind, therefore not real. This is the same thing people say about the psychedelic experience, which in my experience is simply contacting other dimensions of reality.
I have come to the point where I believe that the shamanic journey is just as "real" as traveling to another country like France, and probably actually has greater impact on the self and society than a trip in the material realm.
If we change our thoughts, we change our material reality. Shamanic journeying provides us with a tool to travel through time and into other dimensions to heal our individual and collective wounds.
What could be more important in this time of crisis on Earth?
