The Paralounge Drum Gathering

Here we are strengthening the communication and spirituality of the drum circle. We are exploring the energy created by the drum circle, and the structure of ritual belief that helps focus ourselves and our mind. Please share with us your beliefs and customs. The dynamics of the drum circle structure is important.

Within the drum circle lies the metaphors of the universe. The drum circle acts as a communication tool within the music. Teaching valuable skills, such as, when to lead or follow and how to take your place with respect to others. It gives you incentive to learn and better your talents, which is a direct path to self-discipline.

It also becomes very spiritual. As you take your place in the drum circle you begin to feel the rhythm move through you as well as being heard. When you approach this rhythm and become a part of it with song or dance, you feel it deeper than a physical sensation. Many religions believe, "In the presence of God one would be filled with only the powerful feeling of Joy.", in the Churches you can hear the choir, in the temples are the sounds of chanting Monks, in every tribe on Earth, there is a song to God. In the drum circle, when the rhythm locks together in unity, you become one with the circle. There is a point where you know longer concentrate on the rhythm, and you begin to feel more than you actually concentrate on it. That is when the overwhelming feeling of unity with your spirit takes place. In this unity is the presence of God.

Song and dance is emotion put into the physical world that is projecting into others space and time. Through song and dance, you directly affect life around you in a direct way. As you are affected by the music you listen to, so then come to reason that by it affecting you, it affects those you come into contact with. The rhythm guides you through emotion, that is why there is so many different types of music and dance. From Christian music, to Rap, to Opera, to Heavy Metal, and so on, each sound and rhythm is an emotion amplified and sent out into the chemistry of life. The stronger the emotion, the more time it will travel, experiencing it as long as it can be expressed. This is why some song and dance becomes legendary. It was a discovery of emotional amplification, touching the human race as a whole.

In the rhythm of the drum circle, there are no words. The spontaneous changes are natural, and unique to the moment, affected only by the emotion of the group and the unity achieved. This is the balanced we require to be human at our full potential. The way God intends. The simplest tool is the ingredient to changing the universe around us. Rhythm is the key.

Thought is a rhythmic pattern, translated by your subconscious mind. The building block to learning anything is rhythm. Rhythm is the necessity to patterns. Patterns are the foundation to understanding. Understanding leads to reason. Reasoning is the presence of unified emotion. Learn math you will use it, study science and you find it, live life and you will experience it!
