Yin Circle--the male and female coming together

I've just completed Yin Circle Leader Training and I am really excited to start working with this information as I feel it is the perfect time for this information to be shared in our world.

A few months ago, if you remember, I talked about what I saw as the need for men and women to come together and that we women need to bring the men to spirituality classes and help them also discover the path that we have forged that has literally changed the world. In my Yin Circle training it became apparent to me that we women need to reclaim our feminine essence. The women's movement empowered us, but the pendulum has swung too far---too far from the perspective that we are now acting like men, and have forgotten the power of the feminine.

Yin circles are for women to reclaim their feminine essence, and for men to discover the power of the feminine essence. Both men and women need to work on bringing forth the feminine essence as that is what is needed in this new world we are creating. President Obama models these feminine attributes of cooperation, creativity, receptivity, understanding, compassion. This is the new world that is being created and we can help bring this new world about by addressing the feminine in our own lives.

I have been reading the book Wild Attraction: The Energetic Facts of Life by Paul and Patricia Richards. It looks at the role energy plays in human health, empowerment and relationship and really explores the feminine essence. The book helps men to understand the feminine essence and women to understand the male essence. In reading this book it made me realize again, that women have tried to adopt the male essence and we need to return and reclaim the feminine within us. It also discusses communication between men and women and how we can successfully create meaningful communication with one another.

I envision the Yin circles to be a place where men and women can learn about the feminine essence and ways to incorporate it in their lives so that they are living fully, balanced, harmonious lives. This exploration can also result in experiencing an extraordinary relationship with your partner, or if you are single, to help you attract an "aware male" .

This information really excites me and I am anxious to share it with others. I have scheduled a first informational meeting/experience for Saturday, November 14th from 10am to noon. Cost is $15 per person or $25 for a couple. I would love to hear your input on this subject and if you're interested in participating. Please contact me at earthdrummer@hotmail.com.

As Wild Attraction states: "Extraordinary relationships create extraordinary cultures and amazing people!"

May you have an extraordinary day!

Thank you!

The Midsummer Festival was such a glorious event, I want to thank you all for your support, caring and wisdom. All I kept thinking throughout the day was how fortunate I was to be among so many wise, loving and caring people. People who want to do good in the world and change our world to that place of peace we all hold in our hearts. Every gathering together of like-minded people brings about an energy that affects our world. Thank you all so very much for making our world a better place!
This morning in my email a new Go Gratitude gathering is beginning. I did the last session and found it made such a difference in my life. It seemed fitting to start this new session, coming off of the gratitude I feel from the Midsummer Festival gathering. I invite you all to join in on this world gathering of gratitude. Just go to http://www.worldgratitude/ .com. You can make a donation or not. There are 9 pledges you make to demonstrate gratitude in your life each day. Some of you may want to keep a gratitude journal as well. I encourage you to be a part of this exciting journey.
I thank you all again from deep within my heart,
Jeanne

Trance Dance

It was a most incredible trance dance on Wednesday evening in Pine River MN at the Heart and Hara Studio. We danced Brigid's Fire and it was amazing! Thank you Amber Hunt for allowing us to use your beautiful space. Trance dance is a great way to experience healing for yourself and to seek spiritual information. In honor of Brigid, we took Brigid's cloth and wrapped it around our bodies where we would like healing to occur and danced her energy and spirit. We spoke afterwards about how we all felt her presence and healing. It was a beautiful and inspiring time for all. I will be offering a free intro to trance dance this weekend, Jan. 31st at our open house at Brigid's House from 3-4pm. Our open house is from 10-4pm and all our services are free!

Brigid's feast day is February 1st. The custom is to put out white cloth or ribbons in the trees or bushes on the eve of her feast day and she will come by in the night and bless the cloth that you may then use for healing. I do this every year and often will incorporate this cloth into a healing I do for a client. It also gives the client something to take home with them that was a part of their healing.

When I was in Ireland last fall, Brigid's presence was felt everywhere. The landscape is dotted with holy wells dedicated to the celtic goddess/saint Brigid. Brigid brings the warmth (fire) of spring to the land. It is the time of the year where we release what no longer serves us. Let Brigid's fire purify and release what you no longer want in your life, and bring her warmth into your heart to ignite your passion for what is yet to come.

May Brigid's Fire warm your heart and hearth,
Jeanne

Trance Dance

Last night's winter solstice trance dance was very powerful. The dark is such a powerful time to help us go within ourselves and really connect to spirit. It helps us to roam around in that primordial soup of who we are and come out to the light, reborn, refreshed and alive. Trance dance is an incredible tool to go deep inside yourself and listen and feel the spirit. Don't miss the next one! There's a Brigid's Fire trance dance scheduled in January and a Spring Equinox trance dance scheduled in March. Come and enter into the core of your being---discover you!
Blessings to you all,
Jeanne

Reiki for Grief

The January 2009 edition of the magazine Natural Solutions has an article on page 72 entitled "Reiki for Grief". It tells the story of a woman who was experiencing physical pain in her tailbone after her mother's death. The medical profession prescribed analgesics and stretching to ease her pain, which did not help her. She had the opportunity for a Reiki session and it proved to be healing for her. It released the pent-up emotions she was holding in her body and her pain disappeared. It has not reappeared in 13 months.

Reiki is such a phenomenal form of healing. I have seen it over and over again in my practice, release emotional issues that we have suffered with in our lifetimes. This deep form of relaxation allows the body to reset itself (according to Pamela Miles, author of Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide). Reiki truly shows the connection between body, mind and spirit, healing the body as we release the emotional content of our pain.

Treat yourself today to a Reiki treatment! At Brigid's House we have a special this month---Jeanne is offering a one hour treatment for just $35---that's $10 off! You can even buy a gift certificate at this special price and use it later or give it as a gift! What a wonderful gift!

May you be filled with love and joy,
Jeanne
