My journey to dreaming diary

The cultural belief that life is a continuum, Life-Death-Life, is common amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Central to this is that all living things, people, animals, and plants have a spirit, and their spirits connect the living to the past, present, and future.

At the time of death, the spirit leaves the body to return to their Ancestors’ Country. After death, the family ensures the safe passage of the spirit to their Ancestors and return the body to Country.

The AH&MRC has created the My Journey to Dreaming Diary to help you through this transitional time. This diary is a place to keep your personal and medical information and includes mindful activities to prompt reflection, wellness, and gratitude.
