Riding The Shaman's Drum | Therapeutic Sound Series

Welcome to my music playlist Therapeutic Sound Series. It is intended to be an introduction to classic and contemporary sounds that have become well-loved in modern-day sound therapy and sound healing. Note this drum track is not intended for journeying as it is too short but for the purpose of listening, healing, and experiencing. The shaman's drum is an important tool in which the shaman rides the sound of the drum to take flight and travel. The word shamanism derives from the Russian word šamán, from the Tungusic language of the Evenki peoples. The etymology of the word is sometimes connected to the Tungus root sā-, meaning "to know". It is a religious practice that involves a practitioner (shaman or saman) interacting with the spirit world through altered states of consciousness, such as trance. The goal of this is usually to direct spirits or spiritual energies into the physical world for the purpose of healing, divination, or to aid human beings in some other way.
