Drumming has been used in many indigenous cultures as a way of communicating, healing, holding a ceremony and also to go on journeys deep into our inner landscape. You can use this track for relaxation, meditation, journeying or to support your own healing practice. If you are new to Shamanic Journeying, make sure to listen to the Introduction track first. In Shamanic Drumming the monotonous beat, of 4-7 cycles per second, creates a change in consciousness from the awake (alpha) state to the dream-awake (alpha-theta) state. Unlike daydreaming, the dream-awake state is more akin to the "Twilight" space just before you are fully awake - where you are aware of all going on around you, but you are still dreaming. When you are ready to start a meditation or journey, make sure you have some time where you will be undisturbed. You can open sacred space before you start and then make yourself comfortable for your journey by sitting or lying down. An eye-mask can also be helpful.
