Guided meditation and Goddess ceremony are generally considered nurturing and safe activities, particularly at beginning levels, which can involve practicing deep stillness, breathing, presence, and simple ritual actions. However, a gentle word of caution - at more advanced levels of meditation, spiritual healing, and inner journeying, it is important for you to be comfortable with using your powers of visualisation and concentration for a fairly long period, and to recognise that engaging in self-study and self-examination can at times feel emotionally distressing.

 

If you think you might feel uncomfortable engaging in this type of deep concentration or self-examination, then I would ask for you not to proceed beyond a beginning level of practice until you feel secure, ready, and comfortable with going further. It is important that if you have a medical, mental, or emotional condition that could affect your ability to participate safely in a ceremony or guided journey (especially online), please consult with your health care provider before engaging in the practice. This is not to say that a ceremony or meditation will be harmful to you, but it is better to be on the safe side!

 

As a Priestess in training and a ceremonial practitioner, I follow the Codes of Conduct of all Priest/esses trained by Glastonbury Goddess Temple as well as ethical boundaries that are found in a variety of shamanic traditions* in addressing the spiritual aspects of physical, emotional or mental dis-ease. I do not diagnose conditions, cure or prevent disease, or interfere with the treatment of a licensed health care professional.

*The narrowest definition in English of the word 'shamanism' is the religion of the Ural-Altaic peoples of Siberia, to which I have no lineage, connection, or training. However, there is now both an academic and a practical recognition that the words 'shaman' and 'shamanism' have developed wider usage in English to include religious practices from other cultures that have similar features to Ural-Altaic Shamanism. These features might include, for example, the ability to have direct access to, and influence in, the spirit world, which is usually manifested during a trance and can empower practitioners to guide souls and relieve spiritual aspects that might be associated with an illness.
