Pathworking is a simple practice, it is basically just a guided meditation. It does not even have to very guided. It is just visualizing and daydreaming.
If you have seen the movie Fight Club, just think of that scene where the guy is sitting in the meditation group where the lady tells him to go into his cave and see his power animal, go down the slide, etc. That part of the movie served as a turning point for when things started to change for him. That is not just a storytelling device; In real life that is the kind of thing that happens after a pathworking, and it is designed to trigger that personal growth and change.
I will just point out a few things I wish someone had emphasized to me in the beginning:
- For a pathworking to be effective you do not need any special skill in meditating, concentrating, visualizing. I put off trying pathworking for too long because I had assumed that one must be in a trance state and visualize the images vividly. All you have to do is sit, relax, and imagine.
- Sitting and daydreaming is ingrained in most people's minds as the definition of doing nothing of value. But that is incorrect. It is actually a powerful tool, especially when used by someone with a bit of knowledge.
- Pathworking is a form of astral travel. Obviously it's not as powerful and exciting as out-of-body experiences, but for those interested in astral projection, realize that daydreaming is astral projection, and let the significance of that sink in.
