Episode Description

Rhythm. That singular word says so much and has so many meanings. The rhythm of Life, of the beating Heart, the rhythm of Nature and of the Cosmos. The rhythm in musical compositions, the songs we all know. The one that gets the feet to tap and the hands to clap. We all have our own rhythm and when we lose that rhythm, we lose our connection to our self and then to others. Drumming is an almost magical way to bring ourselves back to re-establishing our rhythm. A group in a drumming circle captures the participants and the onlookers as the improvisational rhythm builds in the circle, each drummer contributing to their own rhythm and then something magical happens, this improvisational group, each drumming away, fall into a synchronized rhythm. The entire group of drummers are all match up into a group rhythm that is mesmerizing to observe and even more profound for the drummers. Drumming is used as a casual improvisational get together, through into therapeutic sessions and in corporate coaching and team building. Our soul has a rhythm and much of our dis-ease occurs when the soul’s rhythm is overpowered by our mind’s driving force, and we lose the synchronistic movement that the group of drummers achieve when they immerse themselves in the rhythm they develop. Connecting to ourselves is finding and connecting to our own rhythm, the rhythm of our soul and drumming is one sure way to get us back on track and the exuberance and joy that comes from being the rhythm.

Things Worth Considering

Thursday at 5 PM Pacific Time/8 PM Eastern Time on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel

This is a show about connections. Connections to your self, your spirit, your feelings and your story. One of the most powerful healing tools we have is our connections. Connect to your intuition and explore your AHA moments. Discover how we get in our own way and how we can overcome obstacles to move on. How we think, what we think, what we believe, and our attitudes define how we experience our life. The fascinating idea that we shape our reality to what we believe it should be, in our minds. How we connect to our families, our aging family members and slowly we become caregivers, not caretakers.

Embracing the reality of aging, not into senior citizens but living the archetypal Elder, the Wise One. Living the Spiritual idea of being of service but not being someone’s servant. As we explore the many roads of the human journey with our guests, we will connect to each other by embracing many of the mysteries of life and there we arrive at things worth considering.
