This Is A Two-Phase Sacred Sound Journey:
Phase 1: To maximize physical energy and mental vitality this phase focuses on cleansing the body and introducing healthy vibrations into the body. Developing a conscious relationship between the heart and the left hand is central to this process. After a basic introduction to drumming, 3 levels of rhythm are introduced. Chanting, soul objects, rhythm and drumming are used to cleanse the chakras, open the heart to process & release toxic emotions, balance the brain and calm the mind.
Phase 2: A sound journey is accompanied by visualization to prepare us for a spiritual journey. Shamanic style drumming will then allow us to enter the state of the awakened mind. In this extra-ordinary state of consciousness our brain waves will alter, allowing us to function in a trance state. We discover an intuitive style of play - with peaceful mind and hand-heart connection - we achieve a prayer state. This journey inspires an energetic connection with ourselves & others… bringing peace & health into body, mind and soul.
"A drum made of heart will call spirits connected to the human heart. The heart symbolizes essence. The heart beats like a drum…"(Estés, 1992)
