41 Ascent of Soul/Ascension
The experience of the consciousness
leaving the physical body and ascending into the heavens. Shamanic
journeys are often very similar to those found under 'ascension' or
'the ascent of soul' or to the 'descent of soul'.

In Harner style shamanism, we say that the soul travels to the upper
world or the lower world -- perhaps this is another way of saying
that? Ascension is also a Christian term, though.

Descent of Soul: The conscious descent of soul into the nether-
world, Underworld, hells, or other lower realms, usually via
descent into the Earth.
