Fast Anxiety Relief: Slow Shamanic Drumming By The Fireside

I created this recording during one of my anxiety spirals, when I needed something that would work quickly without feeling rushed. The contradiction worked - slow, intentional drumbeats that somehow bring fast relief.

Each drum strike is deliberate and unhurried, creating space between sounds where your racing thoughts can finally settle. I've paired these gentle rhythms with authentic fireside crackling - those unpredictable pops and whispers that somehow ground you instantly in the present moment.

I return to this practice daily, especially when life feels overwhelming. It's become my self-care shortcut - a quick way back to center when I don't have time for a longer session. Permit yourself to pause, breathe with the rhythm, and let these ancient sounds remind your body of its innate capacity for peace, even in challenging times.
