After his expertise testing at the local community training center, Sloane was asked to contribute one hour a day air pelvic bowl drumming to clear out his stress levels during the emerging pandemic. At the end of each week, he logged into the community online report center and reported his story. The first week he mostly said it was tougher than he thought it would be. By the end of the second week, he had hooked up with two of his friends who had also been assigned an hour of air pelvic bowl drumming day, based on their expertise readout.
Barbara was selected because she was a drummer — her mind worked differently than others. She admitted she couldn’t understand why others didn’t understand drum flow, indicating that she might not be the best fit for a triangle release. Bixby was selected because of his mind — he had an extraordinary sensitivity to patterns. Sloane actually did air pelvic bowl drumming, so he was familiar with the nuances of the pelvic bowl and how important a loose and easy pelvic floor was for stress release.
For their first Zoom Gather, they agreed to the name The Triangle Exchange. Their objective was to clear individual stress and to do this for all of humanity. They each appeared on the screen from their homes. Sloane had sent Barb and Bixby a PDF of the Pelvic Bowl Drumming Manual. He sat loose and easy in his chair holding his air drum sticks with the padded ends. Reading aloud from the manual, he said, “Type sit bones into a device search bar and select an image of sit bones that resonates with you. Add the visual to your Visual Folder.”
He waited for Barb and Bixby to complete the exercise. His favorite sit bone visual showed a skeleton dropping the sit bones down onto a target. The bull’s eye was the neutral position. “When playing an air pelvic bowl drum, start by getting more familiar with the three basic PB positions,” he read. “When your pelvic bowl is tilted your sit bones point to the rear, and you are sitting on the backs of your thighs.” He had to tip his laptop to show his demonstration. “When your pelvic bowl is scooped, the sit bones point forward and you sit on your butt muscles.” Again he demonstrated. “And, when your sit bones point directly down, your pelvic bowl is neutral and you are sitting on your sit bones.”
The Triangle Exchange explored the three positions, then Barb, sitting behind her live drum kit, set the beat and Bixby called out patterns for them to follow.
