A great book about drumming from a shamanic point of view.

This is a beautiful book, very well illustrated with photos. It is as much about shamanism from a Native American perspective as it is about drumming, providing information about the four directions, consecrating sacred space, and many other topics. The CD that comes with this book is very high quality and enjoyable as well.

A beautiful book to experience as well as to read.

Sacred Drumming is a quality book with beautiful illustrations as well as beautiful words. Not only does it give valuable information about how to drum, but Sacred Drumming provides additional information about the beliefs and ideas that contribute to drumming being the sacred experience that it is. While people often find these ideas shrouded in a cloak of mystery, Sacred Drumming presents this information in an interesting and easy to understand way. I always feel good after reading from this book. The CD that comes with it is a great gift as well.

Take a guided tour from a writer who grew up and studied on Native American reservations and join those throughout the world?from Siberia to South America, Australia to Africa?who venerate the drum for its healing and celebratory powers. Through painting, cleansing, blessing, smudging, dedicating, chanting, and performing, you?ll find your own special beat, transforming the drum into a medicinal tool. Become one with a purchased or homemade instrument. Draw on the knowledge of Native American and other cultures to drum away fear, purify, establish a sacred space, and reach into areas of the consciousness that would otherwise be inaccessible. Extra special bonus: a CD with more than an hour?s worth of music for a Sacred Directions ceremony, meditation, trance, and more.
