The beat of the sacred drum pushes through emotions and intellect, connecting us to our inner selves and the spirits. Let it enhance your life, enabling you to stretch out beyond yourself and reach inside as you feel the rhythm. Begin with the drum itself, how to buy or make one, then give it life by cleaning, blessing and dedicating it. Look into the sacred directions and find out where influences like love healing fall within them. Learn how to use the drum in ceremony and to integrate drumming into your daily existence, to drive away fear, anger and sadness. There`s a wealth of Native American wisdom here. Connect with spirit by using the 60 minute CD that comes with this book. Listen and play along with the trance, meditation and healing drumming that you hear. Close your eyes and let yourself go; the more focused you are, the more you`ll feel the power of the drum. Oversized paperback, 144 pages.
