Some years ago, I ventured into the world of shamanic healing and practice. (See Bio) Early in that training my husband Chris presented me with a gift – a custom made Shamanic Durmming CD. As an audio engineer who specializes in recording acoustic instruments and a professional musician who plays the bodhrán (Irish hand drum) he was well aware of my dilemma in finding the perfect CD to use for shamanic journeying. During my studies with Eliot Cowan, classmates would often borrow the CD, and soon I was receiving requests for copies. One day, Eliot himself listened to the CD – very carefully – and declared it to be ‘the best drumming CD I have ever heard'. Since then the CD has been made available on a wider scale, and to this day is still the CD Eliot Cowan recommends to all his students.
The drumming rate on this CD is approximately 228 beats per minute and the drum is tuned to resonate at 60 cycles per second. It is designed to help facilitate achieving a theta state of consciousness that is in harmony with the electromagnetic pulse of the earth, and is ideal for shamanic journeying. |
