Description:

This digital recording supports the listener in making shamanic journeys. The spirit journey is a time-honored shamanic method of inner consultation. Step-by-step instructions for making journeys are explained in Michael’s book, The Shamanic Drum. The harmonic overtones on this recording were produced by a 22-inch single-headed, elk hide, cedar frame drum pulsed at four-beats-per-second. This tempo induces a theta wave cycle in the brain. Theta rhythms are associated with the deepest states of shamanic consciousness. Researchers have found that if a tempo of four-beats-per-second is sustained for at least 15 minutes, most people can journey successfully even on their first attempt. To support your journey you can choose from three different tracks: 1. 15 minute solo drumming with callback; 2. 15 minute solo drumming with rattle and callback; 3. 30 minute solo drumming with callback. NOTE: Our music sounds best on Winamp and iTunes Free Media Players.
