Feathers have been used in so many healing traditions. I'd like to try a feather based healing method based on some that I've seen in use. Keep in mind, as you do this, feathers are made for moving air, moving around in air, moving that which is subtle. That does rather make it an ideal took, IMO, for dealing with our subtle bodies, aka spirit, etc.
The particular feather that inspired this choice is a large one which has a beautiful shape, albeit missing a little chunk. I don't know what happened to that chunk. Sitting around me as I write this are other little piles of flight feathers from wings, downy feathers, tail feathers which I've always thought of as being sort of like rudders and feathers covering non-flight body parts, eg chest + head.
If you have a feather you'd like to identify, here is a site I just found that is a very fun browse: https://www.fws.gov/lab/featheratlas/feather.php?Bird=
It has pics of a lot of NAmerican bird's feathers. You can bet I'll be checking out some of mine
If you'd like to join in with a feather from your imagination or from your stashes feel free to imagine whatever you'd like to do with them. I plan to (as usual) clear, ground + connect to the group then sit with the feather in my lap. If I have a body part that is drawing my attention at that time or if a body scan with my eyes closed brings my attention to something I'd like addressed I plan to use my feather to gently whisk away anything unwanted, let it dissipate, then bring in healing to the area by whisking it in with my feather. This may be in the form of a phrase or prayer, an intention, a sound from a bell, the smoke from palo santo wood or sage, an image of which captures my intention or whatever you'd like. This is a great part to use your imagination. Since I never know what I'll experience during these sessions my decisions on precisely how I work this part of the session will be adapted on the fly, though the basic idea is to gently remove the unwanted then fill in with what is desired at the location of your choice.
If you are inspired to use your feather in some way that heals the group, that is particularly of interest to each of us that join, though anything you'd like to share is very welcome.
And, don't forget; feathers are made to fly, so if you feel uplifted, this might be the time to try out those wings!

We hope you you check in and perhaps join us. No experience or 'special abilities' required. A sense of wonder and fun recommended. If you're joining us for the first time this week your timing is great.
If the exact time in your area does not work for you, then just join when you can. Many of us have no problems connecting a few hours earlier or later but find somewhere in a 24-hour window works best. Some people have even set the intention to join in dream time.

About these Sessions
For those new to these sessions, or if you simply want to be reminded on how to connect in and what methods you can use to send healing, see this article here.
The purpose of these weekly sessions is to send healing to each participant, which can be accomplished by focusing on individuals or the group, depending on what methods you chose to use. You are always free to set secondary intentions around focusing on world events that may need some helping energy — on other levels our group also works in a multi-dimensional sense. Sometimes we get healing requests within the replies here, so do check back here just before the sessions begins.
Let us know if you are joining by responding below or or contacting us through the Contact Forum Admin link here. The session is 20-30 minutes and you can send, and or receive healing; it is up to you. Anyone can heal. No training is required to participate.
Please provide any feedback on here if you receive any and feel comfortable sharing.
The place we have chosen to visualize when first connecting in, and to anchor that connection, is a forest clearing. Think of an opening inside a forest where there is a large crystal in the center that we gather around. The ground could have moss or grass, perhaps even dirt or another surface that appears to you. There may be the sound of a waterfall nearby which could result in a river that you could see, or not. You could start off here and then go off to another place of your choosing to send and/or receive healing. Some people find themselves being taken on a journey where they are shown other things during a session, but we all experience this in our own unique ways.
You can find further information about these sessions through the link, Remote Group Healing, via the INFO link in the menu here on The Roundtable.
Pelicans have been around since the time of the dinosaurs. Perhaps they have wisdom to share?
