Hummingbird Shaman

He sang out to me, and I looked around trying to see where he was calling from. As he rose into the air I could see, he had hidden in the small tree a few feet from me. He flew away, landing high up in a huge tree, barely within sight. “Come back”, I said. “No”, he replied, “From here I can see so much, all through the eyes of heaven.” I knew a lesson would follow. “When you rise up to the level of spirit you can see all around you, and revel in its beauty. When you are captivated by the world you see only your own little part, and wonder what you are missing.”

Did you think “The Healing Drum” is all about pounding on a drum and finding a synchronized pattern, a rush of energy, a release through movement? To benefit fully from the tones arising from the drums we also need the silence in-between.

Our cultures have pulled us away from silence. We’ve filled our heads with commercials, traffic, music, and an endless loop of thoughts. This is a sad road to take, into the never-ending stream of activity contained within all this noise.

The Sound of Silence is a meditation process we will include in The Healing Drum, a weekend long event we will be offering in Yelm, WA over the Summer Solstice weekend of June 21-22, 2008. In this meditation we will guide you to a clearer, quiet space, where you can hear your own inner guidance.
