Navigating Liminal Realms with Norma & Nisha Burton

Sponsor: https://www.ritualshelter.com/

As this podcast goes to air, we’ve moved the eclipse energy and are opening up to the new season of fall and the cosmic energy of Libra, which brings us some powerful medicine right now. It teaches us that mastering balance requires understanding imbalance first. You can't appreciate harmony without experiencing the chaos. And after what we've just moved through? We're ready to embrace that equilibrium with open arms. ⚖️

This season is asking you to look at your relationships - not just romantic ones, but all the partnerships in your life. Which ones are serving your highest good? Which ones need a loving adjustment of expectations?

Libra reminds us that not all relationships are created equal, and that's okay. Some people are here to be mirrors, reflecting our strengths and shadows. Others are here for a season, a reason, or a lifetime.

And the most important relationship.. the one we have with ourselves, our Soul. It is the unseen realms that shape our lives.

Have you been caught in a pattern of uncertaintly? Not sure how to trust your inner guidance? I have another complimentary online class coming up… Stop Absorbing Everyone's Drama: The Sensitive Person's Energy Protection Plan Sat 10/04 at 10AM CT.

In this class, we will look at the energy of an empath and how that can get in the way of trusting your inner guidance, and a plan that will help you stop taking in excess energy so that you can know your energy.

Or if you would prefer, schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough Call with me and let’s talk about the #1 thing getting in your way of trusting your inner guidance.

In today’s episode, we are joined by the incredible mother-daughter duo, Norma J. Burton and Nisha Burton, to discuss their new book, Navigating Liminal Realms: Psychonavigation Skills for Lucid Dreaming, Trance Journeys, and Altered States. They guide us through the inner landscapes of the dream time, the power of trance journeys, and the skills needed to safely explore altered states of consciousness.

About Our Guests

•Norma J. Burton: A psychologist, mystic, and researcher with over 30 years of experience studying the psychology of religious experiences in indigenous cultures worldwide. She specializes in using drums to induce trance states for inner exploration.

•Nisha Burton: Raised in a lineage of dream workers, Nisha is an expert lucid dreamer and a filmmaker specializing in immersive technologies. She combines ancient wisdom with modern techniques to teach others how to navigate the dream time.

Key Takeaways

Psychonavigation is an Essential Skill: Before diving into expansive states like those induced by psychedelics, it is vital to develop the skills to navigate your inner world. Practices like dream work and trance journeys build this foundation.

Your Psyche Has a Unique Language: Pay attention to your personal dream signs and symbols. Your psyche communicates with you in a specific language that you can learn to understand through consistent engagement and journaling.

Integration is Non-Negotiable: Profound experiences require a structured integration process, preferably within a supportive, dream-honoring community. Without it, you risk fragmentation and miss the opportunity for true healing and growth.

Sound is a Gateway: Rhythmic sound, particularly from drumming, is a powerful, scientifically-backed tool for shifting consciousness and entering liminal states where you can receive guidance and insight.

Lucid Dreaming Unlocks Agency: By learning to become lucid in your dreams, you can move from being a passive observer to an active participant, allowing you to confront fears, solve problems, and explore the vast potential of your consciousness.
