Once you learn how to participate in Shamanic Journey (I teach this in a 3 hour workshop, see Shamanic Journey in another blog) it makes the experience of the drumming circle even more enlightening to you.
If you don't know your animal totem I will do a quick reading by holding your hands and 'see' your animal totem and this will be your spirit helper through the journey.
When you get to the location and everyone is ready to start I smudge you with sage/lavender smoke, this is a clearing of your energy field, traditional to native american circles. Once everyone is 'smudged' we form in a circle and I call in from all the directions those of the spirit realm who will protect us and send us wisdom and vision as well as tremendous healing...love will surround us all. After the calling in I sing 'Oh, Great Spirit' and then we drum as a group a steady beat of mother earth and this also will set our heart rhythm. During the group drumming everyone will feel and experience our spirit helpers around us. Many have heard flute playing, thousands of drums joining us, dancing of spirit around the center fire, chanting and singing sometimes comes through as well...but always great healing of our own spirit will be done.
After the group drumming we share if we want to what we experienced and I will then tell what I saw or heard of where I am to take you in a guided journey. We all lay on the floor or get comfortable in a chair as I take you on a guided journey to the upper or lower realm through the veil. This last anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes and I then 'call you back' into your body through a drumming call back and you will write your experience in your journal and then we share.
Each drumming circle is different and profound. This THursday night at 7pm to 8:30pm, Sept. 29th, 2011 I am hosting a drumming circle at 8470 E. THunderhill Hts., Parker, CO 80134 and asking a donation of $10.00. I have journals, eye covers and drums for sale to be used in the circle.
I am holding the drumming circle every two weeks at the same location on THursday evening at 7pm...the next one will be Oct. 13th, 2011...contact me at my email address (foxfire12349@yahoo.com) for directions and to rsvp.
