Default Vision Quests, Shamanic Experiences and Fasting

So lately I've been starting to have some what I can only assume be called Shamanic Experiences, and begun to look at ways to synthizise these experiences.

One assumes that Vision Quests, Shamanic Experiences including the discipline of Fasting are probably part of Na'vi Culture (based on that it is part of almost all Indigenious Cultures). Particularily I'm just in the process of looking at the cleansing process of fasting. My sister-in-law is First Nations, and I'm having the great bounty of learning from her the Native traditional ways of attempting such a healing. Almost every spiriitual tradition also suggests that fasting is part of one's spiritual journey!

So I'm busy researching (aka reading) up on the different kinds of fasting methods out there, with the caution that there is a lot of 'fad' ones that aren't really about healing but about losing weight!

I'll update this as I go along, but wondering what others thoughts or insights are or if they have ever attempted?

"Its only 'here' that we lose perspective, out at the Cosmic Consciousness Level things get a lot clearer. For example, there is an actual star pattern that is traced in the shape of a Willow Tree, across the breadth of the Milky Way! And no wonder Indigenous peoples refer to the 'here after' as the Happy Hunting Grounds! Has it ever occured to anyone why the bioluminescence dots, on the Na'vi!"
