Text Box: Outlined in this article is an overview of a typical meeting of the Harmonic Reiki Drumming Circle. We meet each week at the same time, for 1 ½ hours. Pre-Meeting Setup room – We use meditation chairs that allow people to sit on the ground with a seat cushion and back support. Chairs are in a circle, with drums placed between the chairs. In the center of the circle is a round platform, covered with a decorative cloth. This platform is setup uniquely each week, using candles, meaningful objects, spiritual items, etc. Sometimes we spread a deck of angel cards around the perimeter for people to choose from. Other times we setup the four corners to represent earth, air, fire and water, using symbolic objects. Greet guests – Anyone new should be greeted and made to feel comfortable and welcome. Initial questions may be answered. It is necessary to explain Harmonic Reiki Drumming to newcomers prior to the first drumming session, and this may occur separately or as part of the circle, depending upon number of newcomers. You may also wish to gather contact information. Handout agenda - A printed agenda is provided for everyone, outlining the meeting plans and providing contact information and web sites. Opening Ceremony Welcome to the (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) meeting of the (name of your club) Harmonic Reiki Drumming Circle. We have gathered here tonight to share energy, and to create a healing pulse for our world, the universe and ourselves. We welcome all to this sacred space, and we invite our reiki guides and all spiritual entities to join us in this circle of peace and healing. Tonight we shall create healing pulses of energy that continue on like ripples in a pond, long after the first splash. Welcome all to our drumming circle. At this point, we often have everyone choose a card from a deck of Angel Cards. There are many different reading cards available, and we use whichever one feels appropriate. Next, we go around the circle, one by one and ask people to Introduce themselves and to make a Statement of Being (example: how are you, what is your focus tonight, what did your angel card awaken, etc.) At this point, if there are guests, someone will explain the concept of reiki and reiki drumming, enough so that the concepts are introduced and the newcomers are able to participate. Drumming experience is not necessary, and newcomers tend to find it easier if they just try to mirror the leading rhythm instead of trying to create their own. As comfort increases, drummers become able to find the rhythm of the group, even though each drummer may be following a slightly different pattern. Drumming session – One person initiates the drumming, and all others join in as appropriate. In a standard meeting this session is 15 to 20 minutes long. Meditation or Activity – Each meeting, a different meditation reading, presentation, or activity is introduced. Different people may lead this section each week, and the potential topics are wide ranging, as long as they move in the direction of peace and healing. Drumming session – One person initiates the drumming, and all others join in as appropriate. In a standard meeting this session is 15 to 20 minutes long. Closing Ceremony Stand in circle, hold hands (left hand up, right hand down) We have gathered here this evening to share energy, and to create a pulse of healing energy for ourselves and the world. If there are any whose name you wish to bring in to this circle for healing, please do so know. We then pause as people mention the names of those requiring healing. Give this some time, as there may be many names. We have each brought our energy to this circle, and we depart with enhanced energies. We have connected in this circle, and even as we leave, the connection continues. Until next time… We then raise our hands upwards, until they have all separated, and each person steps out of the circle.
