Seminary Program

This is where we post the essays from many of our Universal Life Church Seminary students. When students finish a ULC course, they write a comprehensive essay about their experiences with the course, what they learned, didn't learn, were inspired by, etc. Here are their essays.

Shamanism

Rythm is the Pulse of Life

Rhythm is the pulse of life and it effects all physical conditions. Rhythm can be used to restore the normal healthy pulse within a person. Being exposed to a regular steady rhythm triggers a resonance with the bodies own natural rhythms. the rhythms outside of us can trigger a forced resonance and entrainment of our inner rhythms. This has both beneficial and detrimental applications.

In healing practices rhythm can energize and stimulate our basic primal energies. Rhythm especially through percussion instruments activate the spleen and base chakra centers of the body. These centers are linked to the functions of the circulatory system, the adrenals, and our basic life force. These are the centers of sexuality, the physical expression of our dynamic spiritual vitality. Steady directed rhythms restore the body's balance. A person with a heart condition would benefit by listening to Baroque music. This form of music has a rhythm that is soothing and healing to the pulsations of the heart.




*******************************

The Universal Life Church is a comprehensive online seminary where we have classes in Christianity, Wicca, Paganism, two courses in Metaphysics and much more. I have been a proud member of the ULC for many years and the Seminary since its inception.


The Universal Life Church offers hand-fasting ceremonies, funeral ceremonies and free minister training.

As a long time member of ULC, Rev. Long created the seminary site to help train our ministers. We also have a huge selection of Universal Life Church  minister supplies. Since being ordained with the Universal Life Church for so many years and it's Seminary since the beginning, I've watch the huge change and growth that has continued to happen.
