Are you searching for something in your life to fill a void that you just don’t quite understand?
Whether conscious of it or not, there is a longing in every person for a connection to something greater than one’s self, a desire to experience a higher power or spiritual force that has the capacity to nourish the heart and soul at the deepest levels. If you are becoming aware of a lack of spiritual meaning in your life, or if you are searching for physical or spiritual healing, then you are well on your way to taking that first step in an important journey.
While this may not be the answer that everybody is looking for, you might want to consider shamanic drumming, shamanic journeying, or other shamanicteachings such as those that can be found through the LightSong School of Shamanic Studies and Energy Medicine. While there are many different areas of study within shamanism, one of particular note is that of shamanic drumming.
Shamanic Drumming is often at the heart of many shamanic rituals and practices and can be used for a number of different things, including:
Connecting you to the Spirit World – Shamanism considers sound to be one of the most effective ways to connect with the realms of spirit as it travels through space and time in ways that nothing else can. Shamans strongly believe that it is possible to communicate with Spirit through the sound of a drum.
Healing through rhythmic drumming – Using the drum beat as the vehicle for shamanic journeying due to the drum beat’s ability to change the state of consciousness of the shamanic practitioner.
In addition to being a conduit for communication with the Spirit World, Shamanic drumming can also be used as a conduit for healing when properly used and understood. Shamanic teachings purport that the entire universe is made up of specific vibrations and the vibrations within a person can be manipulated to heal the spirit, body, and mind through proper shamanic healing techniques, including shamanic drumming.
The beliefs behind drumming of this nature are very in depth and intricate and far too many to go into detail here. As mentioned above, this may not be the spiritual answer that everybody is looking for. However, if this information stirs something within your spirit, then you may be interested in obtaining more information about shamanic drumming, and other shamanic healing techniques through the LightSong School of Shamanic Studies and Energy Medicine.
