Trance Drumming experiences valuable?

Hello again.

Last night I facilitated another Trance Drumming in Helena. Again, I found that even though I was facilitating, I had an experience that was personally relevant to me.

At some point, while drumming, I started to have an awareness of a person standing next to me, male, strong, almost a rigid body. I allowed this sense to stay with me as I drummed. Then it seemed to shift into me more, and I felt, I guess.. more energy inside me.

Then I had this elaborate progression that developed where I sensed my energy as something good to move into, and through. That to find balance, which was one of my intentions for the evening, I needed to move into my energy more. I've often found myself to be too 'wound up' and energized at the end of the night. So this made sense to me. I saw myself moving more in a non-rational, non-logical way. Like dancing in my livingroom.

Also, as a result of this I got a clear sense of using my energy and extending it out in front of me. It went like this:

A feeling of a wall or walls,
Then a shield, I am/have a shield in front of me.
This felt better than being a wall, more intentional.
Then this became a drum, the drum I was holding...
This drum I could turn so it was facing away from me or at an angle.
This gave me an tangible sense of turning my own energy to open or close, to see or be seen, and having much more of a sense of control and personal boundary.

I also came away with an image that I will paint onto my drum!

So, my question is, Have you had similar insights or experiences from trance? Please share!

Blessings,

Patrick
