Let’s explore the connection between rhythm and chakras. Tune in to the pulse of the drums as you are led through a series of short guided visualizations to connect with the energies around you. Your brain and nervous system can get stuck in a mode of dealing with stress. Drumming can be like a big reset button to bring you back to a more relaxed state. Coupled with the meditations you will check in with your chakras and tap into the flow of energy around you.
Tom will show you how to play some simple patterns and will lead the drumming during the guided meditation. Each meditation will be a visualization to connect with a chakra. You are able to be your best self when the chakras are open and flowing. You feel better physically, mentally and spiritually.
NO DRUMMING EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED. Drums will be provided, but feel free to bring your own drum to play as well.
Bio:
Many people feel that meditation can be difficult. Tom feels that if you’re having problems with it try drumming at the same time, see if that helps! Tom has drummed at River Rock before and while the circles are a lot of fun, he also has a passion for the healing aspects of playing hand drums.
”Drumming lowers your blood pressure, slows your pulse, and changes your brainwaves, all measurable effects.”
“Drumming is hardwired into our consciousness from before we were born, drums speak to us on a primal level. The first senses we develop in the womb are touch and hearing while we are surrounded by that beat of our mother’s heart. We hear and feel the drums and remember the connection.”
Tom has been drumming for 10 years at drum circles and workshops from Louisiana to Florida and even has been known to put drums in a suitcase for work trips. He is certified in Reiki and as a Sound Healing Practitioner. He also has extensive training in teaching meditation techniques.
