So I got my first drum. Immediately went to the park and had my first lesson. It was amazing. He said that I put a lot of African men to shame with the rythyms that emerged. I was surprised as I have been beating my hands on table tops for ages. Once the rythyms got going it just flowed. BUT I did realize how much my attention wanders when otherwise engaged. I found that if my mind went to anywhere than other my hands touching the skins, the rythym was lost. Made a note to myself that I need to stay fully engaged in whatever I am doing in every moment.
Heading out shortly to participate in a Psychic/Healing Fair and then on to my first drumming circle where I will participate. Feels odd but that is how you learn and improve. Sit in the sacredness of a drumming circle and just let Spirit move.
Namaste
