Drum Circle

Here I am, back at CTCA for a quick over-night visit to get my lupron booster (and a massage, of course). Sister-in-law Amber came to visit me at the cancer center tonight and we were invited to join a "healing drum circle". 8 of us sat around a fire ring and drummed the hour away, along with Native American traditions and stories. "Vibration", our facilitator said, "is in everything. Vibration is how we hear, how we see, how we see different colors. The vibration of the mother's heart is a baby's first lessons in love." Tonight, we used vibration for healing. As we grounded ourselves to mother earth, we were reminded that through the earth we are at all times connected to our loved ones, were ever they are and we are connected to that sphere that gives us life. Later we spent a moment visualizing our "intent" (our current desires) as a sphere of light, that expanded to fill the whole universe and that we then welcomed into our hearts. It was an uplifting and delightful hour. I continually love to discover the connectedness we humans have to each other and the universal feelings we have to seek after love and peace and healing. I love discovering new ways to create those connections to others and to embrace those experiences of light.
