Last night my husband and I experienced our first Full Moon Celebration. The lady who ran the celebration is a Shaman and too be honest I don't know much about Shamanism. We were warmly welcomed and shown around the garden while we waited for others to arrive. When all guests were present, we all sat in a circle drinking tea/coffee and sharing cake and biscuits.
A candle was lit and the celebration began. Three people were drumming and there was some singing and chanting which was so beautiful. At first I felt VERY emotional and thought I was going to cry, I could feel a lump form in my throat and my eyes began to fill. I am an emotional person and will normally cry if I hear children singing but I didn't expect to get all emotional at the celebration! I think that I have built barriers up over the years and found that the drumming and singing got through my barriers and touched me within.
When connected with the Earth and putting down my roots, I felt that I left my physical body. I don't see images during any meditation, I sort of get a feeling/knowing of what is happening. When I left my physical body it was a really strange feeling and I kept bringing myself back to check that I was OK. The drumming during this meditation reminded me of North American Indian music.
One of the group requested healing for a family member and as a group we combined our energies to send healing. For me this felt wonderful, I could really feel a rush of energy go all the way up my back and go out from the top of my head. I had tingling all over the top of my head and it felt very warm.
I really enjoyed the celebration and I am looking forward to attending many more :)
