REIKI DRUM HEALING EXPLAINED
Drumming for healing and meditation is an ancient practice. In tribal cultures the power of sound over the body and spirit is well known and now in the western world there is reasearch supporting this.
Brain activity is affected by drumming and there are many case studies showing how the sounds of a drum can help with illness and emotional trauma. Drumming has also been linked with improving the immune system, helping Alzheimers patients, building self-esteem, and supporting those recovering from addictions.
​
In shamanic medicine drumming, the sound and energy of the drum can be used in many ways. It can feel quite intense, and while very powerful, it does not have the innate protective and gentle energy of Reiki.
When we combine the energy of Reiki with the ancient practice of shamanic drumming, whether for healing or journeying, we have a powerful yet gentle healing model: The Reiki Drum Technique.
the 3 reiki drum techniques explained
Reiki Drum Healing Technique
This involves initially drumming above your body intuitively (I will be guided about where to focus). This will continue for between 2 and 20 minutes. You will feel a great sense of the vibrational energy around you and deep within you. I will then integrate the healing with hands on Reiki.
Mental / Emotional Reprogramming
This powerful technique combines the subconcious with the conscious mind. After agreeing the healing intention and focus for the reprogramming, the drumming will take you into a deeply meditative state where you will be open to insights and solutions. You can have a passive or an active role in this type of healing using positive affirmations which we will agree in advance.
Reiki Drum Journey
After an initial discussion to set the intention for your journey, and explain the process, a repetitive drum beat will initially take your brain activity down to an alpha state like meditation, and then into theta which is the deeper, trancelike state. You will then journey to another realm keeping your intention clear. Journeys can be used for many purposes: if you are already on a spiritual path you may wish to journey to communicate with a spirit guide; alternatively you can journey to gain insight to help resolve a particular situation or to receive guidance on how to work through a personal problem or health issue. Throughout your journey you will be flooded with Reiki energy which will protect you, support your intention that the journey is for the highest good, and the healing energy will help to release blockages and integrate the insights you receive on the journey.
