“Contemplative Prayer is a Divine union, in which the Lord takes His delight in the soul and the soul takes its delight in Him;” The experience of Divine Union and Delight within contemplative prayer is what Mary Magdalene teaches in the Practice of Shela. Shela, the word that Mary Magdalene used for Prayer, evokes the inage of the Mantle of the Bride, we cloack ourselves to go within and in this process Lady Wisdom who lies deep within our infinity awakens and we fall into an ecstatic state of REMEMBRANCE. A beautiful form of Shela that awakens the Rhythmic Light Creation is Sacred Drumming and we can even dive deeper into the experience of Biblical Drumming. “They carried the ark of God on a new cart,…David and all the house of Israel were dancing before the Lord with all their might, with songs …and tambourines….” — 2 Samuel 6: 3-5 ​ “Then Jephthah came to his home…and there was his daughter coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing.” — Judges 11: 34 Biblical drumming was used in the Desert Rose Traditions for going into Yesodic States of Consciousness and for specific Ceremonies. All Essene and Christ Lineage Ceremonies included Drumming, Chanting, Ecstatic Dancing, Sacred Light Language and Myrraphore Oil Activations. We can all practice Biblical Drumming just as the Desert Rose Teachers did. Although there is a Mystery School tradition of specific drumming patterns to call on the different Angels and Light Beings, we can simply pic up our Drum with Holy Reverence and play a pattern we know well over and over, slowly and gently. Our worries and concerns start to fade. The pattern quietly leads us to Holy Lady Wisdom who is within us, and to the Light of the Creator. Sometimes, we pick up our drum and let it play us, knowing we are in sacred Divine Union with Alaha. No words, just the Pulse of Light Creation.
