Shamanic Drum Healing Ceremony
What is a Shamanic Drum Healing Ceremony?
Shamanic drumming is a practice that involves connecting with a timeless, soulful wisdom and rhythmic medicine of sacred drumming. The practitioner enters an altered spiritual or prayerful state during the energy healing drum ceremony and meditation. The rhythm of the drum can help ground a person, bring them into the present, invoke deep relaxation, earth and heart rhythms, and reduce stress. Drumming can also help with pain control by producing endorphins and endogenous (having an internal cause or origin) opiates, which are the body's natural painkillers.
​
This is an aspect of the Soulful (Shamanic) Journeying and Visualization service. However, it may be utilized as a separate energy healing modality and form of a healing drum meditation. Josephine Sheppard, a practitioner of Contemporary-style Shamanism, provides this service.
