Can my spirit get lost?

[Szerro]

Im new to trying to practice shamanish. For my first few weeks it was going very well with journeying. The other day i went to meditate at my friends house and when i went outside to meditate I didn't feel safe spiritually but I didn't leave immediately. After about a minute of being outside i got scared and ran back inside and since then I haven't been able to journey. Has this happened to anyone else? What should i do?

What do you feel like is happening? or what feelings are going on, besides just feeling uneasy?

[Szerro]

It the time I just felt unwelcomed. Now whenever i try to journey i can't even begin. It just feels like something is missing

I'm not sure the two things are directly related. You got scared. It was either because of something that was actually there or your mind made you think there was something there. Since meditation and journeying are at least somewhat similar in nature (neither are in the mind's realm) perhaps your mind has asserted itself and is using that experience to "block" your journeying. What I would do to get back on track is to find a place where you feel totally and completely safe to do your journeying at least until it comes back to you. Also, don't force it. Just allow it happen even if it takes a while.

I agree with what Mark said.
