Drums have been regarded as sacred and used in healing throughout many
civilisations for thousands of years, and drumming has been customary at weddings,
births, deaths, harvests and initiation cermonies the world over. Drumming for meditation
and relaxation has its root in prehistoric times.
Reiki is a beautiful natural healing method, activated by intention, which works on every level,
not just the physical. Reiki is a non-invasive therapy whose purpose is to treat holistically and
restore a better sense of balance.
Combining Reiki and Drumming creates the Reiki Drum technique, which affects the body on all levels,
enhancing inner harmony and balance, and bringing about about deep relaxation.
There are three ways the Reiki Drum technique can be experienced:
- A Reiki Drum Healing Session
The treatment will start with some gentle drumming slightly above
the body followed by a normal hands-on Reiki treatment to ensure
you feel balanced and grounded.
- A Reiki Drum Mental Reprogramming
Drumming may facilitate the energy shift necessary to affect both the conscious and subconscious mind.
Since our thought patterns may 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. The treatment is finished with some hands-on reiki.
- The Reiki Drum Journey
This is a technique using a steady drum beat to facilitate altered consciousness.
Journeying is a cross-cultural healing method that has been practiced by Shamanic
healers throughout the ages. It can be used for dealing with personal issues,
career concerns, relationship problems and accessing inner wisdom.
The treatment concludes with some normal hands-on Reiki.
Reiki Drum Technique does not take the place of conventional medicine.
Always consult a GP for an acute or infectious condition, and problems of urgent concern.
