Releasing Suppressed Emotions Through The Drum

You will also receive a Reiki drum healing session to support the release of that emotion through self-healing techniques, vocal toning, and breathwork. You are encouraged to pause the Reiki drum healing session to facilitate the release of emotions through vocal sounding and the breath should it be necessary, and recommence the Reiki drum healing session to complete the process.

This is the first of several opportunities to explore the chakra system with Reiki drumming through the duration of the course.

Working With Power Animals
In both Reiki and shamanism, it is common for people to receive healing and tutelage through connecting with animal archetypes.

In today’s lesson, we will explore this by journeying through our own energy system and connecting with the power animals that wish to work with us to support us in our own healing.

Once we have regained our solar qualities, we then journey to visit Grandmother Moon to collect our lunar qualities so that we intuitively know that our emotions, instincts, deep feelings, and sensitivity allow us to know the truth of our world. Our lunar aspects show us the rhythms we should follow and how we should feel. Our soul takes moments to reflect upon what actually our emotional needs are, allowing our innate wisdom to inform us so we can release what no longer serves us.

Lesson 28
Embracing & Integrating The Shadow
Our shadow self is that part of our subconscious that manages to sabotage our lives despite our best intentions. It may hold behaviors we are uncomfortable with or gifts we have not yet realized. The universe wants us to be the best representation of source energy we can possibly be and will continually send us people and challenges so that we awaken to all that resides in our shadow.
This can sometimes create discomfort, especially when we attract people into our lives who demonstrate those aspects of our self we refuse to see. This guided Reiki drum meditation exercise takes you through a process of identifying an aspect of your shadow self often mirrored to you by others and which you are not yet in a position to clearly see.
The practice allows you to understand the drive behind the behaviors and brings you to a place of love and compassion for yourself and others. When we realize a part of our shadow, we release some suppressed energy and have more to work with ourselves in realizing our life goals.

Lesson 29
Healing Ancestral Wounds
Through our family ancestral field, we inherit not only DNA affecting our physical bodies, but also the mental and emotional patterns of our family line. It is common for our ancestral field to hold patterns of life experiences as well which repeat generation after generation.
We will identify a family pattern that requires healing at this time through a guided Reiki drum meditation. Once identified, you may wish to continue this powerful work by embarking on a Reiki Drum Journey from the Insight Timer meditations: Reiki Drum – A Bridge Between the Worlds (Extended Version) The Reiki Drum Journey.
Ancestral Healing is a positive thing to do not only for yourself but all of your family members and future descendants. As we heal, we can move forward courageously on our path with hope and positive expectation.
