The Spine and the Spirit Body

Most of us know the physical importance of our spine. It carries information from the brain to all other parts of the body. But your spine is also the gateway to the Otherworld—it acts like the Axis Mundi, or the World Tree we spoke of in the previous section. It's the built-in system that connects you to spirit. Your spine is the trunk of your tree (body) and, from it, you can move your spirit and energy from top to bottom, and back up from the Lower to the Upper World.

Connecting your spine to the generally gentle and friendly ally spirit of a tree not only enables you to explore other realms, but also to sense and feel into spirits who interact with you. This connects you more deeply with your spirit body. Having a strong and active bodily connection lets you go deeper into this work with a sense of safety, especially if you're wandering around the Otherworld and want to know how to return to your body. This sense of safety can prove useful during deep dreamwork, where you may sometimes feel lost or trapped within your dreams.

This is another reason loving your body, exactly as it is, is so important to your practice. When you feel in touch with and in connection to your body, you can return to it with ease and security. That's why I stress a bodily acceptance and movement practice, as it can teach you how to be in the body and to love it. The grounding and centering practice below can help you make and maintain that connection. It teaches you how to connect with earthly and celestial realms. It helps you move into the earth, draw up energy, and ascend to the heavens, then bring down energy to create a circuit within your body. This helps you create a boundary that you can erect to carry with you through your day. While this ritual may seem long, it's actually quite a quick process once you get the hang of it.
