Astral Expeditions
The World Tree
Find the tree that holds the worlds together, with roots in the deep and branches through every sky.
The World Tree is a session that asks you to stand before a single plant that connects every level of existence. You watch the heavy anchors reaching into the deep earth and the limbs spreading high above.
The narration guides a slow expedition up its trunk and into the quiet spaces that wait there.
You stand beside a trunk that rises through every sky and sends roots down into the deep. There is no path to follow except the one you make yourself as you explore the different realms sitting in the wood.
The structure holds everything together while you simply look at it.
What’s in it
A world tree with deep roots and reaching branches, an expedition through its realms.
Why do it
Following a familiar path like a mythic journey can ground the mind and open to new perspectives.

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
An old story about a tree is a known shape for the mind to settle on, and a mind occupied with a known shape is not looking for trouble. Following branches up or roots down gives attention a single clear direction.
The journey spends its time on this expedition through the wood so you do not have to steer anything.

Hypnosis is not for everyone. If you have epilepsy, a psychotic illness, or you are under psychiatric care, talk to your clinician before using this — here or anywhere.
