Book Excerpt | Using Shamanic Reiki to Shift Energy Blocks – Chapter 4
“The modern world is re-discovering the ancient healing power of rhythm and vibration. Researchers tell us that gentle drumming alters brain wave patterns inducing a natural meditative state and deep relaxation. Stress-caused ailments are eased by the gentle beat of the frame drum which brings us back to ourselves, to the rhythm of our own heart beat, and the pulse of our blood and connects us to the earth. It cleanses our energy field and harmonizes the flow of energy through us. The drumbeat reconnects us to our soul.
(In combination with Reiki) gentle drumming can have a powerful effect. Drumming can relax the body and emotions, settle the mind, and synchronize the breathing of practitioner with client, a healing in itself and great preparation for hands on work. Drumming will induce alpha and theta brain waves, heightening intuition and inducing a mild trance state. Clients can actively journey to the beat of the drum, to connect with what is healing for them, or simply open to the vibration resounding through their bones, fluid, organs, tissues, mind, and emotions. The drum beat restores vital, natural rhythms and breaks up stagnant energies.
We can open to and become one with the spirit of our drum. We may experience the spirit of the animal, whose hide forms the drum, or we may simply feel and become one with the earth and universal spirits the drum connects us to. When we attune to the spirit of our drum we may find that the drum directs its own beat, fast or slow, steady or irregular, even directing us to place the drum over specific parts of the body. We may intuit blockages in these areas, which the drumbeat works to release… We follow spirit’s nudge and hope you’ll do the same.”
