Shamanic Journey Drumming MP3 Sale

Shamanic drumming is drumming for the purpose of inducing a range of ecstatic trance states in order to connect with the spiritual dimension of reality. Transported by the driving beat of the drum; the shamanic traveler journeys to the inner planes of consciousness and back. My album, "Shamanic Journey Drumming," was digitally recorded to support the listener in making shamanic journeys. The harmonic overtones on this recording were produced by a 22-inch single-headed, elk hide, cedar frame drum pulsed at four-beats-per-second. This tempo induces a theta wave cycle in the brain. Theta rhythms are associated with the deepest states of shamanic consciousness. Researchers have found that a sustained drum beat frequency of around four-beats-per-second will induce significant trance states in most people, even on their first attempt. Amazon is offering a 25% discount on the mp3 download of Shamanic Journey Drumming for a sale price of $5.99.  

Enter the Realm of the Shaman

Shamanism is based on the principle that innate wisdom and guidance may be accessed through the inner senses in ecstatic trance. Drumming is a simple and effective way to induce this ecstatic trance state. Researchers have found that a sustained drum beat frequency of around three to four beats per second will induce significant trance states in most people, even on their first attempt. Transported by the driving beat of the drum; the shamanic traveler journeys into the deeper realms of the self. Drumming reconnects us with our deepest core values and our highest vision of who we are and why we are here. Shamanic drumming continues to offer today what it has offered for thousands of years: namely, a simple and effective technique of ecstasy. Enter the Realm of the Shaman.

Shamanism and How to Make the Universe Right

Yao Musical Instruments

Upcoming at the Bates College Museum of Art, Shamanism and How to Make the Universe Right presents an extraordinary selection of shaman scrolls and ceremonial objects of the Yao. The Yao are an ethnic minority people originally from the mountainous regions of southwest China. Due to extenuating political reasons, many of the tribal groups migrated to Vietnam during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and settled in Northern Vietnam. The Yao brought with them a rich tradition of shamanic practice that is an amalgam of primarily Daoist deities and rituals, but also Buddhist deities, aspects of Confucian ancestral worship, animism and other natural forces. Traditional Yao spiritual life and ceremonial practice is embodied in this exhibition of their extraordinary art and material culture. View the exhibition.

"Crash Course in Urban Shamanism"

Urban Shaman by Dwight Davidson

by Will Hall

To study traditional shamanism means being part of a living tribal society, apprenticing in it and learning its ways. Urban shamanism is a broader approach, rediscovering the roots of tribal mind for modern people and putting ancient patterns to use in new forms. Urban shamans reinvent spirit healing for ourselves. All of us have ancestral links to shamanic cultures if we go back far enough, because all societies have origins in tribalism. There are no rules and no end to learning and creativity, as we reawaken our indigenous minds and recreate spirit healing in new ways. Click here for a crash course in urban shamanism.
