Dabadi

class we will explore Nzuni, the cosmic origin of the fundamental
sounds of the
Atlantean Culture – the Civilization of Silence. As the guardians of
sound, we
recognize that even silence has a sound. If you could slow a sound down
it
actually consists of silence intervening with sound. Think of the sound
of corn
when touched by the wind. Think of the sound of dawn when the day
begins. The
beginning of the end of movement in the universe is the spiral. This is
not
only a line; it is a geometrical form that imparts movement and sound.
The
conch shell is representative of the spiral, the sacred symbol we use
to send
sound to the four directions – to the heart of the sky, the heart of
the earth,
the heart of the people, and to our humanity – to align with Nzuni, the
Sound
of Creation. Saruah Benson is unable to attend Friday workshops due to personal reasons.

Kevin
Michael My journey has included being the father of two children, both grown now. I worked in the computer industry for many years as a systems analyst. Prior to that I spent four years in the Navy. Bewildered, I responded to the call of my Higher Self in 1987 (at that time I could not have told you what was happening!). So I began the inner work necessary to prepare me for the service work I do now. My principle teacher is Sathya Sai Baba in World Service Puja World
Service Puja is performed in three parts. Here we use Sacred Sound for purification of our awareness. Here the individual dedicates themselves to this act of service. 3.) Activation Here the group forms a ‘lens’ of intention. Like sunlight through a magnifying glass, the highest available spiritual energies are focused first to energize personal intention. Having
thus addressed immediate desires, we freely offer ourselves
in service to focus Divine Will. We do so realizing that Divine Will is
not
known to us. We do so as an act of surrender, a gift of Love. |

Harmony –
Healing Mother Earth with Sound According
to a prophecy
revealed by the Otomí Elder Sages to the Indigenous Peoples and
all humankind,
the day when the sounds of 8,000 Sacred Drums join together will be the
beginning of the true healing of our Mother Earth. This day has come.
It is
time to organize ourselves to rearrange the violence that is being
generated by
war. This violence is affecting earth patterns. Sound and earth changes
are
connected; there is a movement in relation to Mother Earth and what is
happening with the magma, earthquakes, and the shifting of underground
plates.
Sound healers are being called to weave a web of healing sound that
encircles
the earth, creating a matrix of possibility and harmony. |
