So, plan on using it regularly once you take it into your home. It will last a lifetime, serving you well not only as a musical instrument, but also as a healing tool, an authentic Native American craft, and an impressive wall hanging. This type of drum is used for meditation, sweats, firewalks, ceremonies, and other rituals. The universal, pulsing language of the drumbeat has proven beneficial to plants, animals and humans. And now, the medical profession is finally learning that drumming is healing, something the world's indigenous peoples have always known.
New research shows that drumming changes brainwave patterns and reduces stress.
It produces basically the same effect as meditation without the need to quiet your mind. The pattern started with sources in the public domain which were then interpreted by the artist. The goddess figure, representing all wise-women energy, is surrounded by water, symbolizing feminine energy in general. In this depiction, the goddess is celebrating and communing with all living things via a shaman's drum on which she plays the universal heartbeat. The eternal spirit of creation is housed in her womb.
