For those who gather under the Tambour Unity drum, this is a powerful message about the hide used in its construction.

“What Walks Behind the Wapiti”

(The old story whispered in the pines)

The old hunters say
you should never follow a Wapiti too closely.

Not because he is dangerous,
but because something walks behind him
something no one has ever fully seen.

They call it the Shadow That Heals.
A presence that rises only when the Wapiti walks alone,
in the hour when mist clings low
and the forest listens.

Some claim it is the memory of the antlers he has shed
the strength he once lost
but continues to carry in spirit.
Others swear it is the echo of all the winters
he has survived without breaking.

But the elders say this:

“Behind every Wapiti walks the part of him
that learned to endure.
It follows him like a second soul.”

If a wounded person crosses his path,
the shadow pauses behind him
not to cure,
but to remind:

You are more than what hurt you.
You are what kept walking.

And when the Wapiti disappears into the trees,
the shadow fades with him,
leaving the forest unchanged
but leaving the traveler different

lighter,
steadier,
as if a piece of quiet courage
had brushed against their own spine.

That is why people whisper:

“Do not fear what follows the Wapiti.
Fear forgetting that you, too,
carry a shadow that survived.”

THE RHYTHM THAT BELONGS TO BOTH WORLDS
The elders say
that every heartbeat is a traveler—
crossing the space
between earth and spirit,
carrying stories
where words cannot reach.
Those who listen closely
learn that guidance
does not always come from above;
sometimes it rises
from the quiet places,
from the patience of water,
from the steadiness of those
who have walked long paths
in silence.
In these moments,
the world becomes a circle—
sound meeting stillness,
trust meeting truth,
the seen and unseen
learning once more
how to speak to each other.
And we are reminded
that harmony is not given—
it is made,
slowly and sincerely,
with the kind of respect
that echoes far
beyond a single life.

Chori has returned for her monthly Reiki and Sound Immersion session, with a primary focus on addressing storm-related anxiety, including thunder and wind. Anxiety in animals is a legitimate concern, and similar to humans, they require self-care initiatives organized by their owners.

If I can help, please schedule a Discovery Call. I work hounds to horses and animals of all sizes in between. Contact information will be in comments or in bio.

Reiki is intended to be a lifestyle choice. Many people take a course to add it to their certifications/professional development but when you engage about the topic, it’s obvious it was more for the title and piece of paper.

Its ultimate goal is to facilitate spiritual growth and self-awareness through the practice of Reiki as a way of living.

A bit of information about Gasho.
