Sedgwick Trip
By Hannah Vainstein (05/06/09 12:25:19)
Our first field trip for Interspecies Collaboration was to Santa Cruz Island off the coast of California and our next field trip is to the Sedgwick Reserve near Santa Ynes California. During our first outing a small group of us had used a meditation from the book 7 Steps to Communication with Animals by Carol Gurney. Her mediation was similar to a meditation that I have been doing for several years.

In my practice called Theta Healing, a technique developed by Vianna Stible, one travels through what are called the seven layers of existence in order to reach a state which one feels and is connected to all that is. Through this meditation one achieves a theta brain wave from which the technique is named. Once entering the theta brain wave and the seventh plane of existence one then commands is then able to ask to communicate with a particular animal or ask if there is an animal which wishes to speak to them or ask for an encounter with an animal.

On the Island we used Carol Gurney’s meditation and people seemed to respond. For the Sedgwick I will lead our group through Vianna’s mediation and facilitate a space for everyone to seek an interaction with an animal. I will also crate a passage way for people to walk though. Once they walk through this space they will be entering into a journey to receive a communication with an animal. We have discussed possible singing with the coyotes. I think is would be a wonderful endeavor. I will also encourage everyone to be very aware of feeling they have and thoughts that might enter their heads. Everyone receives communications differently and it is important to be aware of their surroundings.
