Reiki Drum Therapy

Reiki is a beautiful natural healing method, activated by intention, which works together with the body’s own energy system to release blockages, not only physical, but also mental, emotional and spiritual, and bring the body back into a better sense of balance. It also seems to enhance the body’s own regenerative self healing ability.

Combining Reiki and Drumming creates the Reiki Drum technique, which affects the physical emotional, mental and spiritual bodies simultaneously, helping to bring them into harmony while raising the vibratory rate to levels which may allow the body to accelerate its healing abilities and bring about deep relaxation.

There has been much research conducted to discover the effect sound and drumming have on the human body and psyche. It appears that even drumming for a short period of time can induce feelings of well being and euphoria. Drumming helps people express and address emotional issues, aids in the removal of blockages and produces emotional release.

Research indicates that drumming accesses the whole brain, engaging both logical left brain and intuitive right brain, generating neuronal connections in the brain even where there has been significant damage such as after a stroke or with Parkinson’s disease.

Spiritually, vibrations of the drumbeat encourage mental, emotional and spiritual energy bodies to realign and the chakras to become balanced, resulting in emotional and mental harmony.

There are three ways the Reiki Drum technique can be experienced:

• A Reiki Drum Healing Session
  because of its intense nature, this treatment will last for a shorter period than a normal Reiki session. To introduce the healing into your energy field, I will gently drum slightly above the body, following this by a normal “hands on” Reiki treatment to help integrate the healing and ensure you feel balanced and grounded.
  
  
• A Reiki Drum Mental Reprogramming
  Drumming facilitates the energy shift necessary to affect both the conscious and subconscious mind. Since our thought patterns can construct not only our view of the world, but our experience of it, it is thought that if we hear something often enough, we come to believe it. This is true of our own thoughts – by focusing on negative beliefs or continuing to hold negative feelings from our past, we bring them into our present.
  
  This technique can be used to overcome bad habits, negative beliefs or focus the mind on achieving a particular goal. At the start of each session the problems will be discussed and a positive affirmation to create change will be agreed. This will be recited silently during the treatment for a powerful healing experience on many different levels. The treatment is finished with some hands-on reiki to integrate the healing.
  
  
• The Reiki Drum Journey
  This is a technique using a steady drum beat to facilitate altered consciousness allowing you to access information for change in any area of your life. Journeying is a cross-cultural healing method that has been practiced by Shamanic healers throughout the ages. It can be used for healing personal issues, career concerns, relationship problems, accessing inner wisdom and tuning into spiritual guidance. This technique can be exceptionally empowering and healing on all levels. The treatment concludes with some normal hands-on Reiki to integrate the healing.
