Soul
Let your spirit guide you to what your soul needs to heal.
Drumming Circle is a community activity and a great way to increase a sense connectedness. It engages the mind, body, and spirit. The rhythm of the drum promotes healing and self-expression. It also releases negative feelings, induces deep relaxation, reduces stress levels, lowers blood pressure, and increases concentration and focus. Research shows that drumming boosts the immune system, produces feelings of well-being, and helps to release emotional trauma.

Drumming
"Drumming reduces stress, tension, and anxiety. Blood samples from participants of an hour-long drumming session revealed a reversal of the hormonal stress response and an increase in natural killer cell activity. (Bittman, Berk, Felten, Westengard, Simonton, Pappas, Ninehouser, 2001, Alternative Therapies, vol. 7, no. 1). Drumming fights depression. Stanford University School of Medicine conducted a study with 30 depressed people over 80 years of age and found that participants in a weekly music therapy group were less anxious, less distressed and had higher self-esteem."
(Friedman, Healing Power of the Drum, 1994)
