It reminds us that healing is available in the simplest of places. It calls us to know ourselves again in purer, more authentic ways. There is a profound implication in the truth that drumming can heal. It points us to the growing field of complementary medicine, a great movement forward for all of us, practitioners and patients alike. But more importantly, that drumming can heal underscores the nature of healing.
Healing is about being human.
It is about nature and natural processes, about our place in the universe, and it is about wholeness. When we read this book and decide to pick up a hand drum, we decide to consciously embrace the essential healing possibilities with which we always live. I have read few books that equal Mr. Friedman's sincerity of purpose and clarity of vision as demonstrated in this enlightened volume. He has provided his programs to major corporations, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, detention centers and conferences. Mr. Friedman has appeared on numerous local and national radio and television programs, including Fox News, The Alive and Well Show, and most recently on the Howard Stern show.
