Astral Expeditions
The Voyage Within
Shrink to a mote of light and travel your own bloodstream and breath, seeing the body from the inside as landscape.
The Voyage Within is a session that scales you down until you are small enough to drift inside your own form. You travel the bloodstream and the breath to view the body as a landscape from the inside.
The narrative keeps your attention on the inner view while you rest.
You become a mote of light travelling the bloodstream and breath, looking out at the body as a vast and open landscape.
There is no heavy traffic here, only the internal tide of your own breathing and the steady red river of your pulse. Nothing is asked of you but to witness the view.
What’s in it
Shrink to a mote of light, travel through your bloodstream and breath, seeing the body from the inside as a landscape.
Why do it
Using the body as a journey helps connect to its familiar rhythms and landscapes, grounding the mind in the physical.

Where it sits
Bolder inner voyages: astral travel, time travel, distant worlds, and quiet contact.
These go further than the calmer journeys. You stay in control the whole time, and you can stop any time by opening your eyes and breathing. New to this? The journeys below are a softer place to start.
Why going here does anything
The mind is useful when it has a path to follow, and following the breath inwards is a very familiar path to take.
Seeing the body as landscape gives attention a clear and gentle focus, which is what this session spends its time doing. It is a way of being with the physical without having to fix it.
