Day 4: DRUMS, RATTLES & SHAKERS

Here’s a quick recap…

• Drums, rattles and shakers are powerful tools for disruption

• Instruments of this nature originated with Indigenous cultures throughout the world, but can be found in some form throughout the history of most people groups

• Particularly the frame drum is an instrument that can be found from Scandinavia to the The Americas

• These instruments are commonly used in shamanic healing

• Drums, rattles and shakers often create an intense hypnotic effect

• This experience will be both somatic and psychological, pushing boundaries of thought and possibly asking for physical movement

• Moving during and with sound healing is ok! If your body wants to move, move it!

• It may be the care that drums, rattles and shakers provoke emotion

• There is no right or wrong way to receive this experience, just try to stay present to what the sound both evokes and provokes
