Re: REAL support groups.

I'm going out on a limb here and I'm gonna get the most woo-woo ya'll have heard me 'sound'.

A drum and dance circle is the most primitive form of therapy and connection with energy we've had handed down to us from ancient history. It is as sacred as the act of swimming, standing in a wind storm or sitting in a mud bath. When you present yourself to an element, focus, breath and become present with how your body desires to move - you transmute your sadness, negativity, self doubt and all the way over into love and gratitude - all through the element. When you sit in a pool, you notice you gently move one limb slowly back and forth. You're feeling the conversation, the reverberation of that element with your skin. You feel better. The same can be said for standing in a wind storm or sticking your hand out the window on a sunny road trip. It's about the space between. When you learn to examine the space between and how your spirit evolves when it sits there - you will understand your life puzzle and why you're experiencing your ups and downs. Don't ride that synthetic high - there is a more powerful one waiting for you with nature.

When you watch people dance around a fire, they stop paying attention to what they look like. Nobody knows the words to the music because each and every drum circle is a statement, a combined energy of the drummers present and they speak only the rhythm that needs to be spoken at that time. The fire and the dancer inspire the rhythm. Each person works with their story when they dance. People dance with their element. I'm an air sign, I think like an air sign and I dance like one. Watch people dance around the fire - they all transmute their human woes with their element. It defines their moves. Think about the element God gave you. It is your elemental task. Therein lies your greatest strengths and that which was given for you to work with and become stronger for.

Earth signs tend to be very stubborn and unmoving and enjoy lavish tastes. Air signs tend to think themselves into boxes, over-analyze everything and forget to stay grounded, Water signs learn to deal with their emotions - and as such are wonderful people to give you comfort when you're sad, Fire signs are incredibly passionate people but as such, work with the lesson of being burned by their emotion. They're such simple guidelines but if you think about your elemental imprint you'll understand how you can learn to balance yourself with other elements. Go dance around a fire, stand in a wind storm, go swimming and put detox clay all over your body!

Think about healing in the abstract. Detox clay is an ancient tool for drawing out that which no longer serves you. Breathing, circling your breath cleanses your body. Drinking more water and crying are both great examples of water therapy. Making yourself warm with Spirit's light, lighting candles, sitting in front of a fire - are excellent examples of healing with elemental energy.
