How to Source a Reiki Drum
Choosing the right drum for Reiki Drumming is essential to creating a powerful and harmonious healing experience. Traditional handmade shamanic drums, crafted from natural animal skin, provide a deep resonance that connects with Earth energies, making them ideal for Reiki work.
When selecting an animal skin drum, look for one made by skilled artisans who use ethically sourced materials. Handheld sizes between 14 to 16 inches are often recommended as they are both resonant and easy to manage during sessions.
For those preferring a vegan option, the Remo Buffalo Drum is an excellent choice. Made with synthetic materials, this drum still offers a rich, consistent sound and is durable across a variety of climates and humidity levels, making it well-suited for Reiki practitioners working indoors and out. Its resonance and lightweight design make it a versatile and compassionate option for facilitating healing without the use of animal products.
Connecting with the Reiki Drum’s Energies Before Purchasing
Establishing a connection with your Reiki drum’s energy before purchasing can set the foundation for a harmonious relationship in your practice.
Begin by grounding yourself and setting an intention to connect with the spirit of the drum. If you’re able to hold the drum in person, place your hands on it and allow Reiki energy to flow through your palms, feeling for resonance and mutual connection.
Notice any vibrations, sensations, or intuitive feelings that arise; these can indicate alignment between the drum’s energy and your own.
Purchasing Online
If purchasing online or at a distance, visualise the drum in your mind’s eye. Send Reiki energy toward it, using symbols if you’re attuned to them and ask for a clear feeling or sign of whether this drum aligns with your purpose and energy.
This intentional connection helps ensure that the drum you choose will be a true partner in your healing work, supporting you and enhancing the flow of Reiki energy in each session.
