First recorded on 22/12/22 in Sydney Australia to celebrate the Summer Solstice (longest day of year) and Europe's Winter Solstice (shortest day). Yet many of the ancient elders will tell us time is an illusion... what is real is change, like the passing of seasons. So I publish this on 31st March, 2025 to celebrate the illusion of time and the switching of clocks from standard Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) onto British Summer Time - giving us an extra hour of sun per day, via the simple mechanics of changing our clocks (even this is usually done automatically on digital devices)! 

So I invite you to travel back across the millennia to hear the Ancient Egyptian creation story of how the Sun God created the first people. 

Ra the Sun God created the first people. Ra was high in the sky in his solar boat (the sun) looking down upon the beauty of the newly formed Earth with abundant forests and oceans, majestic mountains. He was overcome with joy at the beauty of the Earth and tears welled at his eyes. These tears fell from his eyes to the earth as great fireballs, which hit the ground and scattered into many embers. These embers faded to become the first humans, born from the tears of Ra the Sun God at the beauty of the Earth.

TRANSCRIPT 

My Maasai Journey, Episode 5.

 My Maasai Journey, Episode 5. Recorded at night in Kenya, beside a roaring River. With the singing of crickets, which will form a background to this podcast recording. 

Day 9 January the 22nd, 2025. This day - this week in general - is largely dedicated to sitting under our favorite tree for shade called 'wait-a-moment' in the local tongue. It has thick leaves offering a nice canopy of branches, but beware when walking below it or laying on a blanket below. Its twigs often drop to the ground, carrying thorns as long, thin, and sharp as needles. These easily penetrate the soles of rubber and even leather sandals. We've been spiked more than once.

However, these were not idle days of rest and simple daydreaming. We were so busy journaling that the morning soon became early evening. But,there were rare moments of lying on our backs staring up through the dense leaves. To stare at the shimmer of winking blue of the sky between the branches. It seemed, lying there in the warmth of the African Sun below the cooling shade, that the blue of the sky was now the twinkling stars of night and the blanket of thorn branches and green leaves above us was the dark mantle of the night sky. 

Here, the village sounds of our Maasai environment seeped around us - tropical birds singing and trilling, the laughter and play of small children whenever toddlers emerged from the large tin shed hut beside us that serves as a playgroup preschool for tiny ones, the occasional bleating of passing goats, the cluck of inquisitive roosters, or the roar of a truck or motorbike passing up the steep mountain trail.

We whiled away several days, journaling our adventure and snatching in our enthralled spirits, the majestic theatre of Maasai village life - with no plan and no destination other than just being in the now. Except for, of course, the journaling, the podcasting, and other duties, which I'd agree to do long before I came to this Maasia village; the adventure you're listening to now was 15 years in the planning. This might seem like a long time, but I've been a full-time professional storyteller, working with indigenous cultures for 30 years, and I know that sometimes getting underneath the skin inside the core of an indigenous community takes a lot of time. A lot of building of trust, a lot of mutual sharing and understanding.

The valley I'm now in with my partner, Nina - both of us Londoners - has not been visited by white people for, well, some say years. There are young adults here - there are even middle-aged adults here in this Maasai community - who have never seen white people in their village before. Imagine that.

 So, 15 years in planning to get this visit right is no great surprise when you put it into that kind of timeline and perspective. During these several days of whiling away our moments underneath the wait-a-moment tree and journaling and podcasting, Callum – who is Richard and Penina's 19-year-old son - would often pop by with some milky tea or for a chat.

He's proud to be a good cook, albeit working with none of the variety of ingredients and spices that are readily available in the west. Richard often cooks too Either Richard or Callum often arrive at our guest hut in the evenings - or even during lunch time or in the m

This guided meditation is the second half of a live webinar recorded on 9th March 2025 to give participants a taster of my new online Holistic Healing Medicine Storytelling Course. Whilst the meditation can be beneficial used in isolation from the other course materials, it makes references to a Native American/Canadian story 'The Rainbow Raven' . Therefore, you may wish to refer to an earlier episode of this podcast where a relevant part of this story is shared (published directly before this episode.

Hear here the live recording of the flagship free webinar by host Adrian Beckingham in January 2025 to launch his ground-breaking online course 'Ancient Tribal Voice Medicine Stories For Pain Relief & Healing'. 

Adrian used 30+ years of professional research and teaching on the theme of ancient Medicine Stories from tribal cultures to and seize back control of his health and life. Listen in now for your chance to understand how. 

In this seminar you will hear The Oldest Story In The World: from the Aboriginal Australian Dreamtime tradition, 'The Rainbow Serpent' has been passed down for over 55,000 years. Adrian then fuses this ancient Story into a unique guided meditation which gifts his listeners to the healing route he used to defeat his own Stage 3 melanoma cancer (declining immunotherapy)  and reduce a debilitating pelvic inflammation (for which he was offered and declined surgery) to such a minimal level he was climbing mountains in Kenya with the indigenous Maasai tribespeople when he would usually have been in a painful process of post-op recovery.  

Adrian also offers coupon codes within this recording to allow listeners to sign up at a generously discounted rate to his signature online course 'Ancient Tribal Voice Medicine Stories For Pain Relief & Healing'.
