What is Shamanic Reiki Drum?
Shamanic Reiki Drum is a rhythmic extension of traditional Reiki that weaves the timeless vibration of the drum with the subtle flow of Reiki energy.
The rhythmical beating of the drum is one of the oldest practices of humankind. Its steady heartbeat rhythm speaks directly to the nervous system, supporting altered yet grounded states of awareness and helping to restore internal rhythm.
When combined with Reiki, the drum becomes a powerful support for recalibration, gently guiding the body out of stress and back into coherence.
As your body attunes to the supportive resonance of the drum, the mind softens, the breath deepens and the nervous system begins to settle. Within this regulated state, Reiki can be received more fully, rebalancing, restoring and re-energising your system.
This supports the release of deep-seated stress and tension and encourages the body to return to its own natural rhythm.
Shamanic Reiki Drum engages you on both conscious and subconscious levels. The sound and resonance of the drum invite a state of receptivity where healing can unfold naturally
Reiki Drum can feel like a reset for the nervous system and the psyche.
Why Work With The Drum
Drumming supports a shift from heightened mental activity into calmer; more coherent brainwave states associated with relaxation and integration.
This occurs through a natural process called Rhythmic Entrainment - a natural law of physics where two separate rhythms sync up. Just as two pendulum clocks on the same wall will eventually swing in unison, your internal rhythms (like heart rate and brainwaves) naturally begin to mirror the steady pulse of the drum. This "acoustic driving" gently shifts your mind from high-stress "Beta" chatter into the deeply restorative "Alpha" and "Theta" states associated with deep meditation and cellular repair.
Many people notice their thoughts becoming quieter, their breath deepening naturally, and their body feeling more spacious.

Client Love
I was in a place of uncertainty, feeling disconnected from where my vision of life and business were headed and felt confused and unmotivated. Fionn worked with me through healing reiki and drumming sessions with a focus of unblocking me where I felt this disconnect and resistance. After our sessions, I felt lighter, more positive, a sense of openness and a desire to allow myself to receive more where before I was shutting down as I was focused on doing everything myself and being so much in my masculine. The sessions with Fionn were truly magical and I am so grateful! And I even signed on a new client after working together!

Deep healing in body, mind and soul
Shamanic Reiki Drum is a deeply healing modality for the mind, body and soul. It engages you on a conscious and subconscious level, as the sound and resonance of the drum takes you into an altered state of consciousness.
Drumming shifts your brainwaves from Beta to Alpha, which is when you are more open to positive reinforcement through the use of affirmations.
When used in conjunction with an affirmation, you can begin to create new neural pathways to change any repetitive patterns that are keeping you stuck, so you can start to think, and live, in a way you truly desire. Read more about Radiant Mind here.
