When to buy your first Shamanic Drum?
Greetings Earthlings 🌎
Let us talk about the Shamanic Drum.... But, before we go to that topic let us clarify some things here.
Credibility check: Who am I? I am just someone who has experienced a lot of obstacles in this lifetime, while being under tutelage and guidance of the Navajo code talkers for the past 10 years. 6🪶🪶
First off...
How does someone even know that they are on the Shamanic path? Number 1. The worst always happens to you. Number 2. You love doing the complete opposite of what everyone else does i.e you’re the "black sheep" Number 3. You have always had a deep connection with nature and animals. Number 4. If you are a Woman and your menstrual cycle is in line with the moon cycle. Number 5. You can see and hear things that are not in the waking 3D reality.
If you are reading this, you more than likely already know you are on the Shamanic healing path, which is what brought you to this article in the first place. But lets dive in even deeper to who the Shaman really is...
The Shaman is a human vessel between all infinite realities. The shaman wears many masks. He/She can literally morph his/her own consciousness to whichever mask is needed while interacting with humans at the grocery store or whether they are conducting a sacred shamanic healing ceremony on sacred ground. The shaman is also called the "spirit-walker" or one who can see in the dark and one who can see spirit in all living things. The Shaman is able to neutralize energies in this world by acting as a gateway vessel for all negative and positive energetic influences ( in quantum mechanics terms). So one might say that a Shaman has to be grounded at all times. Their energy is too precious, as they are the ultimate empaths of this world that we live in. Now let us talk about certain instruments used for grounding in the Shaman life.
The Shamanic drum. More than just a musical instrument. The shamanic drum is the instrument in which the seperation from Mother Earth and Human spirit is united. Beating the drum signifies unity with your own heart beat with God consciousness and with Mother Earth. It is her heartbeat you are beating when beating the drum. During a plant ceremony, the Shamanic drum is the instrument which guides the soul who is undergoing plant ceremony, the drum guides the soul back home to Mother Earth, back to their true nature.
Everyones spiritual journey is going to be different, however, you will know when spirit wants you to buy your first shamanic drum. For me personally, I was able to bring to life my drum on the anniversary of my daughters 10 year death. Now, instead of that day being something painful, to me it represents the day I became a shaman. The day my heart beat became synchronized with Mother Earth's heartbeat. The day my heart became the drum and the day I turned to selfless service and to service of healing myself and others. The day a Shaman was born, and thats something very powerful to me. I share this with you all to let you know just how powerful your pain is. When one can tap into consciousness and turn pain into something full of life, and something meaningful , thats when the magic happens. Because you are now rewiring your own neural network and making new connections. You are breaking free from this hell loop you created for yourself and you are becoming someone. You are becoming a Spiritual Healer.
Becoming a shaman is opening your heart up to the world, while using your own personal filter to filter out the good and bad energies. One way to cleanse your own aura is with musical instruments. So maybe you don’t have any trauma in your life and you just want to buy a shamanic drum to connect with spirit. You can absolutely do so. Shamanism isn’t this practice thats secluded, esoteric yes, but some secret private organization ? No. Shamanism is simply the practice of connecting with spirit and connecting with yourself.
Ultimately, you will know when it is the right time to buy your shamanic drum. Spirit will let you know, she always does 😉
