Reiki Drum Journey With Intro And Guide-In

Welcome to this Reiki drum journey with me,

Keziah Gibbons.

So a short explanation of what the Reiki drum journey is.

We use the word Reiki because I'll be channeling the universal life force energy through the drum as I drum and it's a drum journey because you'll be traveling on the drum beat to a state of non-ordinary reality or energetic reality.

If this practice is new to you or if you're not an experienced meditator or energy worker,

I highly recommend first finding an experienced facilitator to take you through this or to work with you.

This track is intended as a support for those who are already working with journeying in some way.

So how the drum journey works is that I will be drumming a repetitive beat which is at a speed designed to facilitate the descent of your brain waves into trance.

From this trance state it is easier to step across into the non-ordinary or energetic reality and to do the work there.

So what is the non-ordinary reality or the energetic reality?

We're all aware of the reality we live in,

The reality that we can see and feel and hear,

But alongside this reality are many other aspects of reality or alternative realities that we are not necessarily aware of.

That doesn't mean that they don't interact with our reality and what we do here has impact on the energetic plane and what we do on the energetic plane has impact here.

And so a drum journey is an intentional attempt to access that non-ordinary reality or energetic reality in order to gain information,

Insight and even to make changes.

You should only go into a drum journey with a clear intention.

You should know what it is that you want to gain from making this journey.

So take a moment now to formulate your intention.

This should be worded as cleanly as possible and be as clear as possible.

The non-ordinary reality and the energetic reality are real and so you need to enter them with respect.

I'll also be channeling some gentle energy,

Some reiki energy as I drum and this will be embodied in the drum beat and again as a protective energy.

To start the drum journey I will drum a repetitive beat for two minutes.

What you will do is to use your intention and the drum beat to start to find a way across to the non-ordinary reality.

You'll do this by inviting a bridge and everybody experiences the journey differently so you may see images,

You may get sounds,

Feelings,

Sensations,

Emotions,

You might just know something.

So nothing is right or wrong here.

What you'll do is invite a bridge and for the first two minutes of the journey you'll be crossing that bridge.

After two minutes you'll hear three slower drum beats.

This is a sign that you should now be over the bridge and on the other side in the non-ordinary reality.

At this point recall your intention and take it with you and then allow what comes to come so you don't have to go searching for anything and also try not to be too analytic.

Whatever arises for you allow it to be.

After the journey you can debrief yourself and start trying to interpret meaning if that's useful for you but for now allow yourself to be fully in the experience.

The drum beat will continue for a few minutes allowing you to seek the answer to your question or to proceed in manifesting your intention.

Keep your intention close to you at all times and remember respect and just allow it to happen.

After a few minutes you'll hear six slower drum beats.

This is a signal for you to start to find your way back to the bridge.

You'll have time to thank anyone or anything that may have helped you and say your goodbyes.

After the six slow drum beats you'll have another couple of minutes to make your way back across the bridge before you'll hear a rapid callback beat and another nine slow drum beats.

At this point you should be starting to be back on this side of the bridge.

I'll drum for another minute or two just to allow you to slowly transition back and then at the end of the journey you'll hear 12 slow drum beats.

Take your time in coming round.

Sometimes it's only at the end that we realize how deeply we've been in.

And so to prepare yourself you can allow yourself to become comfortable wherever you are.

You can do this lying down in whatever position supports you best.

Make sure that you're comfortable and won't be disturbed and are in a safe warm place where it's okay to go into trance.

And then come into yourself just aware of where your energy might have been up until this moment.

Inviting it to return to you.

Aware of your breath and aware of your body.

Bring your attention now to your heart space.

To yourself.

Allow yourself to go deep inside to that inner space.

Deep inside to that inner space.

And notice how that is.

And now is a good time if you so wish to invite in any other energies that you would like to connect with to take with you on your journey.

So that might be ancestors,

It might be guides,

Totems or deities.

Any allied energies that you would like to work with you today you can invite them now.

And then remaining connected with all of those energies.

Imagine that growing in your heart space is a bright light,

Can be of any color but you know that it's a healing and protective light.

And allow this light to expand and grow now.

Until it fills your whole body.

In a certain space outside your body.

So that you're in a glowing and protected egg.

And your intention is that only your inner space is filled with light.

And that only that which is useful to you may enter this light.

And that no harm may enter this space.

And you can ask those energies which you've just connected with to reinforce if you like.

And then allow yourself to relax into the journey.
