The Drum
Synchronize your heartbeat to the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
The drumbeat connects us with our heartbeat and the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
Use a drum or sticks on the earth or trees to drum.
Drumming strengthens our hearts, the rhythm of our heartbeat, and our ability to heal our hearts.
The drum connects us with our ancestors who walked the earth before us.
Imagine a world where every human, every animal, every living being’s heart
beats together with the rhythm of Mother Earth’s heartbeat.
Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
When I stepped outside to take this photo of my drum, my initial thought was to rest the drum on the Cedar tree. But the wind blew me into the backyard by the Maples. I remembered my Ancestors come to me through the Maple trees so I placed my drum and took the photo. I picked up my drum and then was guided to place it back down by the tree. My Ancestors wanted to bless me and my drum. The leaves waved back at me. I sat and listened and saw visions of my Ancestors. It was touching to hear that they loved me since the day I was born. They offered to teach me about their gifts as a medicine woman, a Irish ceremonial leader, and a stone whisperer. They told me they are always with me.
