Reiki Drumming & Journeying
REIKI DRUMMING & JOURNEYING


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 research supporting this- making this ancient wisdom more palatable to modern minds. Research shows that brain activity can actually be affected by drumming, and there are studies showing how the sounds of a drum can help with illness and emotional trauma. The combination of the energy of Reiki with the ancient practice of shamanic drumming , whether for healing or journeying leads to a powerful yet gentle healing. Biofeedback research has indicated that drumming (even for short periods) can influence bran activity, bringing them into the meditative alpha state and reducing stress. We know that stress levels are linked to the onset of many diseases, flare-ups of chronic conditions, and the strong tensions in the body. In releasing and reducing stress we are contributing to ones overall health and wellbeing.


The shaman traditionally journeys between three realms in order to perform healings & to communicate with beings in other worlds to receive information for their client or for themselves. The middle world represents the physical realm - it can represent our present situation, things that have happened in our present incarnation. The lower world or underworld is the realm where we work on our shadow selves and aspects of our subconscious. Many spirits can be found here. including our power animals. It can also correspond to our past - whether this relates to issues in our present past , past lives or further back in history. The upper world or the heavens is the realm of the higher self or consciousness, as well as higher beings such as angels. The upper world also corresponds to psychism, enlightenment and the future. When journeying between the worlds the imagery encountered on the journey can show us where we are going. In using the Reiki Drum Technique we can enable anyone to journey safely into non ordinary reality to retrieve information for themselves. During the journey they can ask personal questions to aid them in their personal healing, or to deal with particular situations that they are struggling with.

The important difference between Reiki Drum journeys and shamanic drum journeys is the presence of Reiki during the session. The repetetive drum beat facilitates the shift in consciousness needed to journey, & meanwhile the Reiki energy floods the client. This gives protection to them as they journey, supports our intention that the journey is for the highest good, & the healing energy helps them to release their blockages & intergrate the insights they receive on the journey.
