Drumming and Visualization

There are several things that can happen in your mind while you are drumming.

Thoughts can wander.

Thoughts can stop.

You can visualize.

When drumming for the purpose of sending energy out to another place or being it is best to stop all thoughts first and focus on the rhythm you are making.

Once you have determined this and your mind is quieter with following the familiar pattern you can visualize the energies that are created by the tones' rhythm and order.

Visualize first yourself sitting where you are right now. Once you have a semi-clear picture of yourself going through the motions of drumming you can look at the edges of that image of you as if you are floating behind it from 5 feet away. Seeing yourself from behind knowing that both are you.

Focus your sight on the edges of you, the drum, and your hands. Notice the colors that come off of the you sitting there drumming.

Now the next step is to open your eyes if they are not already open. But when you do this look straight forward with nothing but your chosen intent in your mind. Feel the all the way to the marrow of your bones the nature of your purpose.

When people see you looking straight forward in this way it will be as if you are looking through them. Feel its energy vibrate through you as the drumming gets faster.

Now continue visualization (whether eyes are closed or open) See yourself again drumming with the energy coming all around you and off of you.

Visualize a great clear cord coming up from the top of the drum. This cord reaches into the heavens above you.

Visualize the cord now reaching the place or being that you desire the energy to go to.

Follow along the length of the cord until you find the being or place where you want the energy to go. Attach the cord to the being or place so that it is in a place in the energy field where this energy is most needed.

By simply asking for advice from a divine source (God, an Angel, Hermes Trismegistus, Buddha, Jesus, Great Spirit. etc.) you will generally receive an answer of some kind.

Whether it is "no don't do this right now" or instructions for best placement of the cord you should listen very carefully. Once the answer is received, as long as it is yes, proceed with attachment of the cord.

In the case the answer is "no" quickly visualize the cord dissolving. Once you have attached the cord go back to the drum and watch yourself from behind drumming again.

Now visualize the energy being drawn into the cord and down the length of the cord all the way to the other end.

Follow the stream of energy to the other end of the cord and watch as the energy flows into the desired place. As long as you continue drumming the energy will flow from one end of the cord to the other.

You can completely dissolve the cord by making the last beat of the song a very loud hard hit. After that the energy will stop flowing and the cord will have dissolved.

The next step is to go through the above pre-drumming meditation again so as to cleanse you of anything you might have picked up while doing your energy work with the cord.

Do the above meditation until you feel cleansed again. Usually 3-10 minutes of feeling the rain on you. Also once you have finished the grounding procedure in the pre-drumming meditation, say in your mind these exact words "My spirit come into my body."

This will call all of your subtle bodies to align within the physical space of your body. I often feel a kind of re-adjustment of my energy like something the exact size of me is going back into my physical body.

Be sure your mind is clear and focused when you say the above words otherwise you may not successfully complete the stated intention for your own energy bodies (calling them back into your body).
