Safely explore inner worlds through altered states of consciousness • Investigates drumming-induced trance states through shamanic journeying • Provides advanced lucid dreaming training, sharing techniques for inducing lucidity and skillfully navigating our inner cosmos • Explores the mindful use of psychedelics, offering guidance on setting intention, navigating the experience, and integrating insights OFFERING TECHNIQUES from psychonauts ancient and modern, this profound guide helps you navigate consciously into the depths of the human psyche. Psychonavigation is the art of mindfully exploring the liminal realms of consciousness. This requires a map, a guide, and a clear intent, so one does not emerge overwhelmed and struggling with unexpected shadow material. Norma and Nisha Burton map the important connection between three gateways into the psyche’s depths: lucid dreaming, shamanic drumming trance journeys, and ceremonial plant medicine journeys. With drumming-induced trance journeys, they explore the scientific effect on brainwave frequencies alongside consciousness teachings from indigenous cultures like the Sami of Norway and Huichol of Mexico. Their masterful approach to lucid dreaming transcends basic instruction, offering sophisticated techniques to not only summon but sustain lucidity and integrate suppressed parts of oneself. They explain how a mindful engagement with entheogens can be profoundly enhanced through these precursory mystical practices, creating a safe container for integration and meaning-making that honors the gravity of such experiences. With these skillful methodologies, ancient psycho-spiritual techniques meet ultra-current science to enable seekers to process and integrate profound encounters with expanded consciousness.

This oracle is something very special: a guiding light into another world, but also a guiding light through this world too. --from the Foreword by Philip Carr-Gomm The Lucid Dreaming, Lucid Living Oracle draws from years of first-hand knowledge and extensive research by the mother-daughter team of Norma Burton and Nisha Burton. Their tools, techniques, and insights learned from experiential studies are unique, reinforced by the cards' powerful teachings about both lucid dreaming and a message for one's waking life through lucid living. The reader will be inspired to trust their intuition and to become aware of their magical sense of interbeing with higher consciousness. More and more people are accessing the mystery behind their dreams in order to connect more deeply with themselves. But what is lucid dreaming? It is coming to conscious awareness during the dream state. A lucid dream occurs when a person is asleep but becomes aware that they are dreaming. In this lucid state, a person can take control of their dream's narrative to some degree, essentially guiding and directing the course of their dream. Lucidity can be a way to explore things that a person might not be able to do in everyday life and translate that sense of personal empowerment into their waking life. The Lucid Dreaming, Lucid Living Oracle package will allow the dreamer to fully explore fantastic sensory and emotional experiences through the combination of an engaging text and strong, visually challenging illustrations. Dreamers will learn how to navigate through various states of consciousness with lucidity. Whether you are an experienced lucid dreamer or just beginning your journey, each card in the deck provides you with valuable tools to navigate the dream worlds as well as powerful answers to daily life dilemmas. The stunning symbolic cards are composed of two parts - the waking message and the dreaming message - thus integrating the instructions for both states of consciousness. Meditating on these insightful cards will strengthen your abilities to dream lucidly and offer guidance about how to move through waking reality more connected to your deep intuition. By allowing people to take control of their dreams, lucid dreaming can also help prevent nightmares or redirect the events of the dream toward something more pleasant or relaxing. This degree of control also helps the dreamer decrease anxiety, gain greater confidence, solve problems and bring more relaxation into situations that would normally cause them stress if they were to experience it in the real world. Because lucid dreaming allows the dreamer to invent or create anything within the dream, they can explore creatively and safely within the confines of a dream. This leads to less co-dependency and more security and balance in waking life. If you feel unable to fully connect with your inner guidance, understand your dreamtime experiences, and are seeking a next-level tool to heal your inner wounds and unlock your fullest potential, then this deck is for you.
