The Reiki Drum Technique is the combination of Reiki and Drumming, to introduce Reiki into a person’s energy field which can bring about deep relaxation, releasing stress and tension, and induce feelings of wellbeing and homeostasis.
Reiki is a relaxing, holistic treatment that promotes peace, calm and wellbeing. The word Reiki (pronounced “Ray Kee”) is often translated as “universal life-force energy.” Reiki is an energy that acts holistically on the energy of the body and helps to clear energy blockages and rebalance and realign the chakras to assist the body’s natural healing abilities.
Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-intrusive hands-on technique that can balance and harmonise all aspects of a persons, body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Drumming is an ancient technique that uses rhythm to promote healing and self-expression. Therapeutic rhythm techniques have been used for thousands of years by many different cultures to create and maintain physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health.
There is much scientific research now detailing the positive effects sound and drumming have on the body and mind. Drumming can induce brainwaves associated with wellbeing and euphoria. It can also help with emotional regulation and release blockages along with many other positive effects of Reiki and sound healing.
The idea of combining Reiki with Shamanic Drumming originated with Michael Arthur Baird, a Reiki Master/Teacher from the USA. Sarah Gregg, a Reiki Master/Teacher from Hertfordshire, studied with Michael in Arizona and has introduced the Reiki Drumming Technique to the UK in 2007. I completed my training with Sarah inn 2022.
Reiki Drumming can enhance our lives, and regular sessions can help to promote development of a healthier, more relaxed state of being. Sarah Gregg describes the Reiki Drum Technique as both effective, sacred and joyous in terms of its healing attributes. The Reiki Drum Technique comprises three core healing methods, all different and used for separate aims. Treatment sessions typically last an hour.
Reiki Drum Healing involves the practitioner drumming over the client whilst focusing their intent to allow the drum’s sound waves to carry Reiki into the client’s energy field. The drumming is followed by normal hands-on Reiki. Clients find the beat of the drum helps them switch off easier and drift into a deep state of relaxation, with all the normal benefits of a traditional Reiki treatment on a deep level.
Reiki Drum Mental Reprogramming is a way of treating negative emotional habits or natural tendencies, to focus the mind on something important or for achieving a goal. Drumming facilitates the energetic shift necessary to positively affect the subconscious mind. The client focuses their mind on the issue in question and repeats a positive affirmation, whilst the practitioner drums gently over them. The drumming is again followed by Reiki for integration. The repetitive beat of the drum helps people focus on their particular issue, reaching deep into their subconscious mind, reinforcing the positive messages. The mental/emotional reprogramming technique offers its best results if the client can have a series of treatments.
The Reiki Drum Journey helps to facilitate altered consciousness for the client to access information for change in any area of their life. It can be used for healing personal issues, career concerns, relationship problems, accessing the client’s inner wisdom and tuning into spiritual guidance. It can be exceptionally empowering and healing on all levels. Clients have many different experiences. Some drift into a relaxed state, others see beautiful colours or feel energy pulsating through their body, and many have profound visual and auditory experiences allowing them deep personal insight. Some fall asleep, feeling refreshed on awakening and receiving spontaneous intuitive messages over the next few days.
