 From
an email Terri shared this information:
Keep hugging that DRUM. The drum is
calling the 2 legged back for the Earth Mothers healing. The core of
Earth Mother beats continuously. The Earth need healing and so this is
why so many 2 legged are being called to drumming and to make their own
drums. There are many different forces at work. the Drum is coming into
power again to awaken our hearts; it is NOW that we must learn to live
from the heart. the heart is the place of balancing and awakening to
our wholeness; the heartbeat is one of the reasons people so naturally
and strongly connect to the drum. After all, each one of us comes into
the world having spent nine months listening to the heart drum in the
womb. We are imprinted with the rhythm from the very start the rhythm
is the heartbeat of life. There are no special songs or words - no
special way to beat the drum - just sit, stand, walk and play with the
beats of your drum.
AHO my friend ~ Peace
