Reiki Drumming introduces methods to enhance the power to send Reiki at a distance, as well as to strengthen the vibration of the peace ray on the planet, while assisting in harmonizing our human consciousness with the Earth.

We connect directly with the Heart and the Mind of the Divine when we access Reiki energy. Drumming is also a way to align with the Divine, as has been experienced since ancient times, through native spiritual, and shamanic healing practices.

Scientific studies related to the effect that sound has on matter are relatively new, yet we are already learning that sound alters matter.

Swiss scientist, Dr. Hans Jenny demonstrated how various substances such as sand; plastics and liquid would take on a particular shape and form when various sound waves were passed through them. These experiments indicate that sound has the ability to affect and change the molecular structure of matter.

A medical research study indicates that group drumming boosts the immune system. Published in the January, 2001, issue of Larry Dossey's Alternative Therapies, the ground-breaking study was performed at Meadville Medical Center's Mind-Body Wellness Center, by a team of MDs using control groups and blood tests.

Led by well-known researcher, author and cancer expert Barry Bittman, MD, CEO of Meadville Medical Center's Mind-Body Wellness Center in Meadville, PA, the study shows that group drumming actually increases cancer-killing (NK) cells which help the body combat not only cancer but other viruses, including AIDS.

According to Dr. Bittman, "Group drumming tunes our biology, orchestrates our immunity, and enables healing to begin... When our hands connect with a drum that vibrates with our energy, vitality...and unity, we become whole again." Dr. Bittman's weekly radio program, Mind-Body Matters, is syndicated nationwide on NPR.

Drumming has also been used successfully with Alzheimer's patients to focus attention, with war veterans to end trauma, with addicts in recovery from drug and alcohol abuse, and with prison and homeless populations to enhance self-esteem. Progressive corporations like Motorola, AT&T and Levi-Strauss have drummed with middle management to promote team spirit-building.

Widely published research also indicates that playing musical instruments increases children's learning abilities. This appears especially true of those instruments, which can be played intuitively, like the drum. Studies indicate that drumming enhances right-brain functions such as intuition and creativity.

Brief Reiki Drumming introductions are offered with many of our Reiki classes, and at special events and retreats.

Pre-requesites for our two-day workshop is attunement to Reiki II or higher and familiarity with the traditional Usui Level II symbols for increasing the power of Reiki, mental/emotional issues, and sending Reiki at a distance.
