The Tonal and the Nagual
Our people, those who would become knowledgable about things of this sort, have their ways of seeking out information. Certain plants, judiciously used, can be helpful. A process of putting the body under unusual stresses in other ways is sometimes used as well. However this is done, it can lead to the acquisition of certain kinds of information. As a general term, we can call this a Vision Quest. In such ways do our people seek knowledge of their Nagual.
It is said that those who achieve a full knowledge of and communication with their Nagual gain, thereby, the ability to shift their consciousness between their own bodies and those of their Naguals.
