Reiki Drum Technique | Reiki Drum Courses
Prerequisite - Reiki II
No musical experience is necessary for the course
Reiki Drum Technique, or Reiki Drumming, is a combination of Reiki with shamanic drumming and does not form part of the original Usui teachings. It is currently popular in the USA, where it was formed by Michael Arthur Baird of the Infinite Light Healing Studies Centre, and is virtually unheard of in the UK at the present time.
Michael Baird was, first and foremost, a shaman and frequently performed medicine drumming on those who came to see him for healing. He often felt drained and depleted after working, however, so his wife (Laurelle Shanti Gaia) invited him to channel Reiki through to help bring in more Light and protection. Reiki Drumming was born!**
The drum creates a sound pathway on which Reiki energy may travel into a person's energy field. We connect directly with Source energy when we tap into the vibration of Reiki and drumming, as has been experienced since ancient times through spiritual and shamanic healing practices. Reiki drumming can be said to be a reflection of healing traditions from the east and west, as well as ancient shamanistic ceremonial practices.
Reiki Drum Technique is a powerful tool for awakening more fully to our Divine purpose here on earth, tapping into the pulse of Mother Earth and the Universal flow of creation; by using the drum, we can enhance our power to send distant healing and harmonise our consciousness with the energy of Love.
Reiki Drum practitioners use the drum to introduce Reiki into the client's body, shifting blockages and rebalancing the energy field. The bringing together of these two systems means that the energy of the drum always works for the highest good of the client, within a protected space, just as in a normal Reiki treatment.
The technique is broken down into three main types of session: the basic Reiki Drum healing, where the drum is used intuitively over the client's body to deliver a deep healing treatment, followed by hands-on Reiki to fully integrate the energy shifts and ground the client; the mental/emotional reprogramming technique, where the intuitive drum treatment is accompanied by powerful affirmations to support spiritual growth; finally, the Reiki Drum journey technique, where the practitioner uses the drum to take the client into a deep meditative state to receive insight, spiritual guidance and healing.
The energy that is experienced during a course provides students with a powerful platform for further self-awareness and spiritual growth. As well as gaining valuable insights over the two days, a period of integration will be necessary after the course, to understand the inner meanings that have been presented and practise the newly learned techniques.
