The use of ancient lore and traditional customs

Using a shamanic drum or a vegan hand drum in massage sessions offers numerous benefits for both the massage practitioner and the massage recipient.

Fortunately, you can learn how to apply this powerful technique with the help of Allround Drumteachings, an online training that focuses on using ancient lore and traditional practices.

Deeper relaxation

First, the use of a drum during a massage session provides the recipient with deeper relaxation. The rhythmic sound and vibrations of the drum help to calm the nervous system and reduce stress. This makes it easier for the recipient to let go and surrender to the massage, resulting ina deeper experience of relaxation and well-being.

Physical and energetic healing

In addition, the drum helps promote healing on both physical and energetic levels. The rhythmic sound of the drum stimulates blood flow and can lower blood pressure, contributing to the recipient’s overall well-being. In addition, the vibration can help the recipient release blockages in the body and release blocked energy.

Communicating with the spirit world

Another use of a drum during massage sessions is its ability to communicate with the spirit world. According to shamanic traditions, the drum is a means for touching the spiritual world and opening doors to other dimensions. By combining the rhythm and intention of the drum with meditation and visualization, therapists can connect with spiritual guides, ancestors and other higher powers. This opens the door for receiving healing insights and guidance during the massage session, making the experience even more profound. Thus, the psychosomatic approach can positively influence the recovery process.
