Healing Drum

As a holistic therapist practitioner & meditation teacher, I recognise that some people struggle to find the space to connect to their inner self through meditation alone.  As such I have been guided on a journey to study sound healing and as part of that journey, I bring you Healing Drum.

In traditional shamanic cultures, the drum is believed to contain life force energy which is released when the drum is played. Native Americans see the drum as the Earth itself and nature is seen as the sounds emanating from the earth. The drum is deeply symbolic of the feminine energies manifest in nature all around us. The drum is linked to our own mother’s heartbeat and its life giving energies. The drum is seen as the womb – pregnant with life giving energy and the beater – the masculine energy. It connects us all through the beat being played via the drum to Mother Earth and the rhythms of the Earth.

This healing drum is a beautiful experience using techniques to balance our 5 elements/levels of consciousness: Body, emotions, mind, soul & spirit. Calling on the four directions the drum is played using shamanic drumming sounds. Feel the sonic vibrations of Drum bring your 7 body energy system – chakras – into balance and harmony.

The shamanic drum is a healing, meditative and transformational tool. Science has shown that when played it stimulates the whole brain. Playing the drum synchronises the left and right hemispheres of the brain which merges the logical and intuitive aspects making us smarter and our intuition becomes stronger as does our self-awareness.

Drumming generates new neurological connections in all parts of the brain. Numerous studies have shown that all types of drumming can reduce stress, lower BP and enhance immunity. Drumming has been shown to actually increase T-Cells which help the body combat cancer as well as viruses including AIDS. Research involving group drumming has even provided evidence showing it can be used to reduce BP, Cortisol and provide relief from chronic pain conditions!

Therapeutic drumming is especially beneficial for people who suffer from depression or anxiety as it helps produce a natural high by stimulating Alpha brainwaves – leading to feelings of euphoria and happiness. The brain when moved from a beta state to Alpha waves leads to feelings of relaxation and calmness.

Therapeutic drumming uses brain entrainment and studies have shown that it is especially beneficial for people who have some level of damage or impairment such as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

Drumming releases negative feelings and creates a feeling of connectedness both with yourself mentally and spiritually, as well as a ‘oneness’ with nature.

This 1:1 healing drum therapy is brought to you from a healing point of love – an experience that will stay with you forever.
