The parting of the Red Sea, signifies freedom from slavery. In my last blog post I wrote about my own parting of the seas, and meeting my personal Armageddon only to meet the sweet waters of deep inner tranquility. In the few days since sending that mail out, my entire world is shifting around and it's so exciting!!! Frann Haykin wrote a wonderfully provocative response, and requested I write a blog post on Israel in 2012:
No better time than the present... it's a gift... What's my response about Israel 2012? I LOVE being where I am and living here 2012. The Jewish holiday of Tu BiShvat represents an older more ancient tradition steeped in the matriarchal traditions of the area.
Digging deep to revive these traditions keeps me so occupied that I have little time nor energy to worry about popular consensus of the mass media, which speaks of destruction. Truth is, I LIVE 20 minutes from the Armaggedon site. The media speaks of destruction. I agree. Destruction of what has been. What arises from there is a rebirth of the deeper feminine traditions of the Near East.
Course which begins in late February here in Israel. Are you feeling disconnected, unfocused or out of energy? The motif on the drum is one of balance: 1) The six pointed star - common to Ancient Israel, India and China, represents a balance between heaven and earth, male and female... 2) The dots represent focus. 3) The squiggles represent water - reminiscent of the parting of the seas and the emotions of life, most powerfully embodied by the feminine energy of life.
The drum is approximately 11 inches in diameter and approximately 3 inches in width. I write approximately because it is a hand made drum, brought to Israel from Syria. It's a living music peace drum. It's goat skin is all natural, which means that the drum head and the skin are EXTREMELY sensitive to weather. It's very much a LIVE drum. In wet weather, the drum needs to be heated in order for the skin to make it's wonderful sound. If you are interested in making peace within yourself, and with others, silencing once and for all, those inner critical voices, this may be just the thing for you.
Here's the thing... I am opening a 24 Hour Authenticity Auction beginning tonight at Midnight (Israel Time GMT +2). You can calculate the time difference here. 1) After travelling a long distance to purchase this hand picked frame drum, made in Syria, I sat in deep meditation to receive guidance for its ritual design. The design you see in the photo is focused upon Parting of the Seas and Transformation. The design is painted with henna, a healthy plant, long used in the middle east as a coloring dye, ritual object and aesthetic tool. 2) On Saturday (Yes, on Shabbat),
I will travel to the Sea of Galilee, to visit Miriam's Well. There I will consecrate this drum to the highest bidder. If I receive a bid over $900, I will personally compose for you an ancient healing and transformational music piece - that I will record for you at the ancient site itself, and send electronically to you. I will use this drum in the recording, at Miriam's Well, on the shores of Galilee. It will be YOUR personal touch stone. 3) The drum will be personally shipped to you, anywhere in the world. 4) This has never been done before. The money exchanged will be used to revive this ancient form of healing and transformational music. Bidding starts at $180.
Leave your bid below, on my facebook page or email me: sodotmiriam at gmail.com
Why Am I Doing This?
It's authentically what I am feeling guided to do in response to Frann's generous posting. It shows how I am living in Israel in 2012. It is authentic expression expressing itself in the moment. It shows how creative you can be in any situation and find energy to move forward and feel good no matter what else is going on around you.
It is time for this ancient healing and transformational music form to be shared BIG TIME. SO many people are to be supported in their authentic expression. So many people are secretly feeling despondent and it is ok. There's a massive shift occuring. It's natural. There are simple practical solutions.
How about stopping and taking some time for yourself!
Yes, it might feel uncomfortable since you're so wrapped up in DOING. Yet it's Tu Bishevat, the time to stop and dig deeper, to get to the root of the issues most important to you. This is where you will find the bedrock of your inner strength. Are you longing to reconnect to that deep well of wisdom inside yourself so that you can access answers to your hearts most pressing questions?
No coach, no psychologist, no medium, no spiritual guide can truly help you here - as the answers you are looking for truly come from within. This Sabbath is the Song of the Sea. It is an auspicious time allowing for you to stop and part your own seas - freeing yourself from whatever may no longer be serving you. 2012 will not return again. NOW is the present time.
It is a gift. How are you giving yourself a gift of acknowledgment! WOW. It's so powerful to be authentic in this moment.
Nine hours later....
Here's a photo of the drum at 9:25 am Israel, Galilee Time:
I feel so excited. My tunny is tumbling and it feels so good to be alive, following my muse and following the flow of creation... updates here...
