Text Box: The benefits of Reiki drumming occur in many dimensions and at many levels. The molecular vibration of participants is enhanced, and this vibration is passed on. The immediate effect of the sound waves tends to shake things up a bit, but also pulls the vibration of surrounding objects towards the steady pulse of the drums. Sound energy is powerful, and attaching Reiki energy to the sound waves is even more powerful.

Reiki drumming is best practiced using a drum that creates a low resonant vibration.  Most commonly used are round flat drums with strings on the back. These types of drums are called buffalo drums, medicine drums or shamanic drums. One hand holds the drum by the strings, and the other hand holds a mallet and beats the drum. By striking a consistently paced rhythm, a growing sound wave is formed, rippling like waves in a pond. Once the drumbeat is steady enough, the drum will begin to hum continuously, even between the beats.

For all participants, the sound of drumming is very healing. Everyone tends to balance his or her personal vibration, and then to harmoniously join with the group energy. The result is that each person leaves the circle in a more balanced condition, having been enhanced by the group energy, and yet not taking energy from anyone else. While Reiki drumming, a connection is made to the abundant universal energy, the planet is enhanced, and each participant gets a boost.

The most important thing to remember about Reiki drumming, as with any Reiki session, is that energy follows intent. If the intention of the drummer is to create a balanced center emanating healing waves, then it shall be so. The steady rhythm of the drumbeat is self-manifesting, as each beat opens the potential for the next one. In addition, the resonating sound helps smooth, carry and amplify healing energy.
