Bat medicine teaches us that darkness is not something we must automatically fear. The bat navigates without ordinary sight, listening and sensing its way through what cannot be seen. Its medicine speaks of transformation, rebirth, facing fears, trusting intuition, and finding our way back to ourselves.
For those living with trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, neurodivergence, or anyone who struggles to put internal experiences into words, drumming and symbolic journeying can offer another language for self-exploration.
Bat Lower World Drumming Journey
Put on the Bat Drumming Mask and hold your drum. Begin with a slow, steady heartbeat rhythm. Allow yourself to settle into the sound.
As you drum, connect in spirit with your guides, guardians, ancestors, power animals, or benevolent spiritual allieswho support your highest good.
Then chant:
“Bat, guide me through the night.Help me hear what I cannot see.Lead me toward what I am ready to understand.Help me reclaim the parts of myself waiting to come home.”
