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.

The Shamanic drum

Dr. of Shamanism Degree
Some rhythms are abnormal and can create problems. They can overstimulate the inner pulse. they can force the normal heart rhythm into one that is counter to a healthy pulse within the body. One such rhythm is anapestic. This was a rhythm used by the Rolling Stones in the sixties. It is also a rhythm that is employed by some punk and heavy metal bands. In the sixties studies were conducted because individuals were experiencing breathing and heart arrhythmias linked to the music.

The normal heartbeat follows a pattern of Da-da Da-da Da-da. An anapestic rhythm sets up a heart rhythm of da-da-Da da-da-Da. This is counter to the normal heartbeat rhythm, which can effect all the internal body functions. Any rhythm that is strong and to which we are exposed long enough can create excitation and hyperactivity within the body as it is brought into resonance with it.

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.
