SUN MUSIC gazing at sunset we are drumming down the sun music medicine based on an actual experience with my oldest son at city park on the far side near the boat launch...we found a covered picinic bench, sat atop, and drummed down the sun until it disappeared from the horizon...the drumming and gradual descent of the sun brought us both to a better space/vibration/place where we felt simultaneously energized and peaceful...a shared moment we cherish in our memory and one that bonds us sun music medicine practice: find a place of relative privacy where you can watch the last 20-30 minutes of the sunset and drum down the sun...if you don't have a drum, use your body as a drum, e.g., drum on your thighs or belly, or clap your hands to whatever rhythm feels right to you)...optionally, bring a friend to drum with you, and share your experiences afterward...double the pleasure.

IN & EX inhale & exhale project from brain, lungs, and mouth thoughts, words, sound, matter... to breathe in and out, inhaling and exhaling, is to be alive and connected to our environment which includes the air that others breathe (their body chemicals unite with their air and become part of our bodies as we breathe!)...all of our being, brain, lungs, mouth, organs, skin, and bones are all connected with the air we breath through the carrying of oxygen in the bloodstream...in some way, all of our thoughts, words, and sounds are also connected to our inhale and exhale of air. practice...in the presence of at least one other person, consciously breathe in the air, knowing that you are breathing in part of them, they literally are becoming part of you (and you them) through the air you both breathe...know you are interconnected in this most intimate way.
