Peace Ceremony of Sound

In this ceremony you choose peace for yourself first and then you ‘open the door’, so to speak, for more peace to land on the planet. You use sound – singing, chanting, toning, drumming, stamping your feet, and dance – to bring peace down to Earth and to anchor it in 3D.


The basis
The most important steps for anchoring peace are these:

1) Go into your heart.
2) From your heart, choose peace for yourself first.
3) Then, from your heart, welcome peace on the planet.

Location
You can do this ceremony in any location where it is possible to be really noisy! :) Indoors, outdoors, in the woods, a town square, in a hall, on your own at home…any place you love to be for chanting, drumming, stamping and dancing.

It is probably a good idea to think of the neighbours…or ask them to join in! :)

About the ceremony
The Pleiadians have given me a flood of images of how these ceremonies can be done, which I will share with you here. Please keep in mind that, since I have little to no experience with ceremonial work, I have written down every step that the Pleiadians helped me see. You may not need all this.

Besides singing, chanting and toning, I see people drumming, stamping their feet on the ground and I also see them using what I would call ‘pounding-sticks’.

Pounding-sticks: These look like thick broomsticks with a sturdy, round block of wood or stone on one end. People hold the sticks upright and rhythmically pound the ground with the block. Have you ever seen indigenous African women using long, sturdy pieces of wood to pound the contents of large stone barrels for hours and hours? That is exactly what it looks like. The pounding-sticks are long enough for people to stand up straight with both hands around the stick at solar plexus and throat chakra height when the block is on the ground.

When I use my third eye to look at this ceremony, I see the chanting, toning and drumming acting as conductors for peace to come down to Earth. Peace flows around the humans doing the ceremony and it already begins to trickle into the ground. Then the stamping of the feet and the pounding of the pounding-sticks open the Earth more and more. Now peace really begins to flow. I see Earth willing to receive the peace wave, and the stamping enhances the contact between Earth and humans.

Preparation
Those of you who are experienced in the ceremonial field can skip this part and go straight to the 9 steps of the Sound Ceremony, below.

Prepare your space in any way you like. You can choose to build an altar to the four directions; you can use fire (candles, torches, camp fire) or special objects; you can bring food, water, sage and incense for the elementals and ask them to dance with you…: Be creative! Doing the ceremony by moon- and starlight is very powerful, especially during the full moon. The next full moon is on 13 november!

The participants can all form a circle, but it is also possible to have some people forming a circle while others are chanting, stamping and dancing inside the circle. You could also make a circle with stones or other objects and have all participants chanting, stamping and drumming inside the circle. Or you could dance around a camp fire. The Pleiadians say that using a circle is powerful, but not necessary. So it is also possible to drum, chant and stamp without using a circle at all.

This is a ceremony for the entire community in which all, including children, weak people and elderly people, can participate. Those who cannot stand or dance, can sit down, clap their hands, sing or hum along, whatever feels right for them. Let the children drum, chant, dance and stamp along with you. They will love it!

When everyone is ready to get started:

- Take a moment with the whole group to focus your attention on what you are about to do. Maybe you want to sing or pray, or speak your intention out loud. Maybe you just want to be silent for a moment to focus your attention within the group or the circle. If you do this ceremony alone, you, too, focus your attention on what you are about to do.

- Those who wish to can set the intention to honour Free Will, to be as ethical as possible, to serve the Light, use your own words.

The ceremony
1) Ground yourselves. Firmly stamp your feet on the ground a few times. This is fun to do together!

2) Softly let the drumming and the chanting/toning begin.

3a) If you want to call on guides, animals, other spirits or beings of light to be with you, do so now. Feel how they come into the circle/space invited by the drumming and chanting. Do keep in mind that you, humans, will be the ones inviting peace for yourselves and for the planet. Your guides, the spirits and the beings of light will help you, but you, the humans, have to do it.

3b) Optional: Connect to the four directions, East, West, South and North. This will ground you and keep you connected to the third dimension.

3c) Optional: Visualize a vertical beam of very clear, bright light which runs through your crown chakra, spine and root chakra. See how it runs down below your root chakra and connects you to the core of the planet. Take a moment to feel this connection. Now bring your attention to your crown, and see how the beam of light goes further up above your crown chakra, up through the dimensions, connecting you to Source. Take a moment to feel your connection to Source. Then return your attention to your body and become aware of the people around you. Take a few deep breaths. Feel your feet on the ground.

If you feel spacy, place your hands on the ground for a few moments. This will help to bring you back.

4) Focus on your heart chakra. Bring your awareness into your heart chakra. While the toning and drumming continue, think about peace. Imagine that there is peace on Earth today, and tomorrow, and in all days of the coming years. Don’t think about how this should come to pass, just imagine it as if it is already here. Use the sound of the drums and the chanting to let go of any doubts and to strengthen your image of peace.

5) From your heart, choose to have peace in yourself, in your body and in your life. Let your singing and drumming be an invitation for peace and use the sound to welcome peace into your heart. Feel how peace flows into your heart. If you feel any tension or emotion, allow it to come and let it fly away on the sound of the drums and chanting. Invite more peace into your heart and feel how your heart and your chest soften, open and relax.

6) When your feel the arrival of peace in your heart, choose in your heart to anchor peace on Earth. Imagine that peace will simply come flowing down the moment you invite and welcome more peace on Earth. Feel peace coming down around you and feel how it surrounds you in your circle and how it ‘dances’ with the sound of your singing and drumming. Ask Earth to receive the peace energy.

7) Drum, stamp, pound, chant, tone and sing peace to and into the Earth. Feel how Earth receives your peace. Let peace flow around you, through your circle or space, and when you are ready, see peace flow out of your circle like a swirling, warm wind. See how it flows around the entire surface of the planet while you keep on drumming and chanting. Do not force it. Just let it go where it wants to go. Stamp your feet on the ground and pound with your pounding-sticks. Bring peace on Earth for the coming Age of Light.

8) When you feel that peace is landing: Celebrate! Sing, dance, stamp your feet! If you want to get ecstatic, do it! Chant and dance and celebrate the Peace Celebration with each other, with Earth and with the Cosmos and with all lightbeings and spirits who have come to celebrate with you. And while you are in ecstasy, ground the love, the peace, the joy and the excitement by stamping and drumming.

9) When you are done, thank the Earth for receiving peace from you. Thank the spirits, animals and beings of light who have celebrated and danced with you. Thank yourself and each other. Then take the joy home with you.

Enjoy!
