The Labyrinth Drum

“Follow your bliss” – such wise advice by Joseph Campbell and what this drum embodies.

As we approach Solstice, Christmas and the end of 2023, it’s the perfect time to journey within your inner landscape, following the arrow of your intuition to reflect, step by step, on your Path: the one that brought you here & now, and the one that is opening up to you the more you align to your True Self, to your Highest Good.

What is the essence of the 2024 you’re manifesting with every step you take?

I co-created this drum with Spirit while celebrating my year’s journey into Self, community, and the world (including my visit to Chartres in the Spring of 2023 to walk its labyrinth, reproduced here).

It was painted in the same time period as my leading the Holiday Spirit Circle, which has raised my vibration to new levels. I’d said Yes! to Spirit after receiving its Guidance – an answer to a prayer that has done so much more than stretch my technology comfort zones with my first online program. This profound morning ritual of sharing, channelling, and holding space for its participants has filled my heart and soul to overflowing.

The Labyrinth Drum was created in that space of love and gratitude while spending a few days in creative bliss: painting, listening to an audio book by Saint Teresa of Avila, chanting & praying.

Painting this drum was a gift I gave myself and is now a gift I offer to you. 

You might enjoy the short video above, the story it inspired here, or the inspired action it has led you to take so that you too can follow your bliss.

You may even decide to bring The Labyrinth Drum home – for yourself or for another. I know it will be the right bliss booster for the person it’s meant to serve.

Chanting and drumming are truly bliss boosters. They help open the throat chakra (the energy centre within your subtle energy body that regulates expressing your Truth). This chakra is also the chimney that allows your energy to flow from the heart to your third eye (intuition) & crown chakra (enlightenment).

Paramahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi , the guru for the Ananda Ashram I went to in Italy this summer) used to say that chanting is half the battle on the path to self-realization. It can open you up to the bliss of this style of meditation, of devotion.

My drum and I attended the St. John’s Sacred Sound song circle the night before writing this post – and I’m still vibrating from it. I truly recommend you give chanting a try.

Is joining a devotional song circle something you’re inspired to plan & schedule for 2024?

The Labyrinth Drum is a one-of-a-kind hand-painted drum infused with so much love, energy, and symbolism. Can you feel it?

As you journey with the peace dove to the centre of the labyrinth, you gather what you most need.

Feel its beat as you journey towards and pause at your centre, with gratitude. Then carry whatever peace, wisdom, inspiration you gathered during your walk inwards back out into your daily life.

The lapis lazuli stone acts as an arrow and support on the path to the labyrinth. Its energy assists in opening the third eye – centre of wisdom and intuition.  This stone also helps you discover your inner truth,  leads to peace of mind and calmness in body.

The stone is embedded in mica, which radiates the energy of love & compassion.

The peace dove also symbolizes freedom, expression, a rising of vibration and Spirit.

The golden dragonflies on the outer rim and frame help remind you to look and live beyond the illusions and delusions of this life as you more fully emerge as your True Self on this transformational journey.

The sound of Labyrinth Drum is deep and rich. It’s a 16″ Remo vegan buffalo drum.

The Remo Standard Buffalo Drum is inspired by the indigenous cultures of the Americas. Equipped with a rope handle and a single mallet. The Remo Standard Buffalo Drum is manufactured with Remo’s Fiberskyn® drumheads and patented Acousticon® drum shells for enhanced durability in any environment. Producing the same tonal characteristics found on traditional wood shell drums, the standard Buffalo Drums feature excellent projection and enhanced low-pitched fundamentals.

If the Labyrinth Drum is meant to be yours, you can purchase it here in my online shop. $999 (Canadian).

Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas dear one. May whatever your inner & outer experiences be this holiday season, may they nourish your transformational journey.

You are an individualized expression of the Divine! May every step you take be a part of that re-membering.
