SHAMANIC DRUM HEALING

SHAMANIC DRUM HEALING

A question has come up that I think is comment worthy. What is the difference between a regular drum healing or Sound Attunement Therapy treatment and a Shamanic Drum Treatment? Well supporting “The Way of the Shaman” and the Foundation For Shamanic Studies I would say that a Shamanic Drum Healing and a Sound Attunement Therapy treatment are similar in that the Shamanic Journey is involved in both the Shamanic Drum Healing and a Sound Attunement Therapy treatment. There are many different types of Shamanic Drum Healing. Some use the hoop drum, some use the djembe drum, others use shaman rattles others use shaman rattles with drums. As long as the shamanic journey is involved in the treatment I would say that it is a Shamanic Drum Healing. That is assuming healing takes place.

There are many ways sound and rhythm can be used to promote healing and change of all kinds. Pleas check out the Articles section at www.healingdrummer.com and feel free to email me toby@healingdrummer.com.

Having experienced both Shamanic and SAT healing there is a slight differance I have detected.

Of course as Toby indicated there is a journey envolved in both.

SAT healing drum sessions take a first step, and that is the "tuning" and the balancing of the core or chackra centers. This alignment, is very carefully taken by the practicioner. There is a carefull listening of the sound "soaking in" or "bouncing off" next time listen carefully as Toby uses the hoop drum, he gets signals from the core and the extremities to help guide him on the journey. Toby's sense of vibration is highly atuned. I have found that when Michelle works she also approaches with the vibrational enengy before she takes off to do the repair work. With other "Native Healers" I do not see this a much. That is why I believe the work of my two favorate Shamens are so effective clean and complete. The other point is that with SAT the vibrations are checked and then sealed into the body. This helps you to sustain the healing work longer before the regular grind of our life has a chance to disapate the vibrations we received.

The recounting of the Journey is the same, and are words to head, the real truth is our vibrational change to accept the things we need and disapate the things that are not helpful to our overall well being.
