I am often asked about what drum to buy. The answer depends upon what you plan to do with it. Will you be singing into it? Will you use it outdoors? Do you plan to play it by hand or with a mallet? I have several drums that I use for different purposes. I’ll show photos and tell stories to help you make an informed decision about what drum is right for you.

On the left is a photo of a deer skin frame drum that my husband bought from a Native American craftsman of the Lakota tribe at the Nashville PowWow several years ago. It was the first drum I ever owned and it is still very special to me in my shamanic work. I feel a connection with my Native American ancestors when I play this drum in ceremony. This drum sounds great when a mallet is used but it does not have a good “echo” for singing. [Read more…]

I watched a documentary about a year ago regarding the origin of humans. It was believed that humans were placed on earth as slave laborers to mine gold from the planet. The DNA of this breed of humans was robotic in that they followed only the programming they were given. They did not think for themselves. This seems to have credibility. We see so many humans that trust and support what religions and governments are offering even though it is detrimental to the body, mind, and spirit.

Startseeds have the DNA of our multiple “parents” or donors. We were not placed on Earth against our will to follow orders or mine any resources from the earth. We are volunteers who are here to make radical changes and guide the human race into its full potential. This requires us opening human DNA strands through downloads and activations. Since we took on the form of a human and look just like the rest of the people here we are able to do our work “under cover” so to speak.

By being in a human form we also have to deal with the ego programming that all humans are subjected to. It is by transcending or overriding this programming that we transform our own minds into higher consciousness and thus affect all of humanity. It is imperative that we starseeds not get pulled down by what we hear in our minds, or see around us, or feel in our emotions. This “rising above” (ascension) is an individual process of transforming the experiences we have in this vessel. We are in the world but not of it.

Consider the body as a vehicle. There is a dissonant song playing in the background, and this programming is sometimes louder than our ability to think for ourselves. But, we do have the ability to turn off the noise or change stations. This is not done by fighting it, yelling at it, or ignoring it. Turning off the voice of the ego/psyche requires us to listen to the message and accept the annoying parts of ourselves. We recognize our own power as divine beings, and we become the observing parent who tenderly, but firmly, speaks to the shadow side. Once you integrate the wayward aspects, there is nothing to battle.

In these changing times, inner child work is more important now than ever. If you are battling the multiple voices in your head or feel that you are drowning in emotions, step back for a moment and realize that you are one with everything.  You are the empowered and wise higher self who is able to love all–even the parts that demand our attention and that we have “cleared” over and over again. You are projecting your divine consciousness into a human vessel that has been programmed for destruction. Changing your view of yourself changes, reprograms your experience.

Give this integration method a try. If you need help, I am available as a coach to help you move past limited thinking.
