The Cycle of Life in a Nine Sided Drum
Every day I post an intuitive story in my Mayan Daily Insight website that speaks of the energy or focus of the day. The Mayan’s brought many calendars into this world, and the Tzolkin calendar is one of spiritual focus. It offers amazing insights into self and the story of our lives.
I recently decided it was time to make a new drum. My co-coordinator in the Healing Drum Retreat, Kaye, offered me a drum ring that she had hidden away. This ring is a nine-sided ring, one that pairs up well for my numerology as well as my focus in spiritual teachings.
Almost immediately I decided that I had to include symbols of the Mayan Glyphs in this drum. With 20 glyphs I found it challenging to bring balance into the distribution of the cycle. I spent a week combining my previous knowledge and insights with a new level of understanding. This story I will bring to the Healing Drum Retreat and share it on the evening of our drum making.
Photo’s of this drum will have to wait until the painting is finished and the buffalo hide is soaked and stretched onto its ring. The decision will be made later as to whether or not this drum will be completed that night, but at least the story inside the ring will be ready to share. This story offers great insight into our flow between the worldly walk and our spirituality.
There is still time to sign up for upcoming Healing Drum Retreat March 20-22nd, 2009. Call Brighton Creek at (360-458-3910) to register.
