DRUM & DREAM

TO TRANSCEND LOVE FOR EARTH HEALING

A VOUYAGE WITH JOY ELLIS SHAMANIC PRACTITIONER

The gathering outside the Owl and Pussycat Lodge with the Scarisbrick Mosses. The focus being to send Love and healing to the land and Joy most clearly emphasised that all involved must stay on a path of beauty, with all negative emotions left out.

We know that all emotions are part of being human, but we also know that long term negative emotions are also unhealthy. Investment of energy in conflict and anger is costly and in many ways breeds more anger and conflict. It has been proven that anger is destructive to the physical body when held for prolonged periods.

The Owl and the Pussycat lodge feels that if Anger is destructive then if we send out love this will be healing to not only ourselves but expanding down into the earths gold threaded network the web of life and all that is living and all that is not.

Love spreads to where it is needed through the golden threads of the web, much like mycelium communicates and feeds the trees, and the arteries of your body feed your cells. So with meditation, prayer, dance, with wishes of love with drumming we send out our love to the land and the earth.

The drum has a special significance to the

earth when drumming the earth hears and

the resonance of 7 beats per second is the

same vibrational beat of the Earth herself

of Gaia and this is very healing for her.

We would like to invite as many lodges , groves,

covens, groups of people and individuals to come together on the nearest Friday to each full moon to Drum and Dream, to meditate, to pray and send out love or to just wish for healing, to dance or sing, what ever your choice, as long as you stay on the path of beauty.

The grestest thing each day is that we awake, and that we are alive, we need to smile at this miracle that we are, each and everyone of us is alive. This physical component is borrowed from the universe , we are star dust, the food we eat once entering our bodies becomes us. These are miracles because we belong to the earth we are the earth. We should to the best of our abilities walk each of our days in Love and shine like the Stars that we are.

DAILY MEDITATION & THE SILENT MINUTE

At 9pm during world war 2 all Britons would gather around their radios to find out how the war was going. On November 10th 1940 the broadcast started with the sound of the Chimes of Big Ben and the British people where all asked to pray for or visualise peace while the Chimes lasted this being 1 minute. This daily 1 minute silence spread and spread not only around Britain but throughout the whole of the Common wealth. It was thought that the one minute silence was done by not a few, but millions of people. It is unknown as to whether this helped end world war 2 but there was an account from a Nazi Official who seemed to think so. He gave his opinion of why he thought Germany had lost their war to the British (who captured him after the war ended). He said "During the war, you had a secret weapon from which we could find no counter-measure, and which we did not understand, but it was very powerful. It was associated with the striking of Big Ben at 9pm each evening. I believe you called it 'the minute silence'".

The idea came about by 'Wellesley Tudor Pole' who thought that what had once been a minute silence for the dead of the 1st world war, it would be better used to bring Peace. He began a campaign for a daily 1 minute silence when everyone could unite in prayer and thoughts for peace . A one minute of meditation for peace, one minute of prayer, or a wish for peace according to each person's belief. A revival was started in 1994 for the one minute silence for Peace by Dorothy Foster (and more of this article can be found by Margo Lest). On many occasions in recent times the 1 minute silence is used when large losses are experienced.

ONE MINUTE SILENCE DAILY FOR LOVE TO THE EARTH

We have started our own daily practice at 11am each morning to just take a moment to direct our thoughts and love towards the earth, this is possible to do even when busy, but if you can do a minute even better, we would love more people to join us in this and spread the word for the love of mother Earth. So please join us , you could set chimes or drumming on your phone reminder, however you choose we welcome the collective energy to spread the Love, united on the path of Beauty.....
