    I have trouble visualising normally. The picture just doesn’t come into my head. However within around 5 minutes of listening to the drumming I felt ‘called’ underground to a beautiful forest. My spirit animal showed itself and gave me some incredible insight into my current reality. When I looked up the meaning of my spirit animal I was blown away as it was exactly what I was told. Just amazing! Thank you so much . Peace ☮️ and love ❤

    We all suffer loss of connection to our ancestors, indeed to our children, since they do not, to the same extent. Martin and shamanism made rationally accessible in this teaching is a lifeline to this energy, greatly needed in this time.

    • @riansama7803
      @riansama7803 6 лет назад +3

      I'm finding that shamanism is as much in healing our ancestors and addition to reestablishing that connection with them. They still have so much wisdom to share if we'll only listen.

    I have used this drumming video for years. It’s the perfect tempo, cadence, and Martin’s voice is magical to me. It’s my go to every time. If it was a vinyl record, it would have melted into a plastic puddle by now.

    So many people bickering and complaining about what is "authentic" and what isn't "authentic." It is those who are complaining and wasting time on this endeavor who are the ones who haven't a clue about spiritual journeying of any kind. If they were, they wouldn't be concerned about mundane thoughts on "authenticity" and "labels." Nor have they experienced anything beyond eating, sleeping, sex, pooping and peeing. :D

      people like to think to much and do to little, 99% of the information you find online about these subjects aren't meant to help you learn how to do anything its just mental masturbation. actually practicing and dedicating much time is the only way.

    I started to feels physical effects right at the beginning, I was smiling like an idiot and laughing, I was relaxed as I could be, even if I purposely thought about unpleasant stuff. Then, I felt like I was slowly getting "out" of my envelop, like pushing away my seat from the office desk, I felt way heavier but it was a really comfortable feeling.
    10/10 would shaman again.

    Just had a shamanic journey to this drumming. Started with calling a spirit animal and then surrendered and allowed it to take me whereever I need to be. Perfect rhytm, perfect tone. Just enough time to be focused and reach the pointh you need to be without getting tired and sitting for too long. Just perfect.
    Hope that guy is still alright and doing well.

    Thank you for this journey. It felt like 5 minutes. A few times I was shook awake as if my consciousness expanded more and more and my body and spirit were no longer two seperate things. My feet and hands are usually icy cold (does anyone know what this means by the way?) but now my whole body is warm and I feel rejuvinated. Sometimes when I meditate I see myself at the head of half a circle, but now I felt like I was in the middle of it. I didn't visually meet my power animal, but I am pretty sure it is with me.

    !!! Seriously! ! At 8: 56 I sat up fast up w major heart palpitations and anxiety. I did basic meditation and let my mind search different landscapes, I ended up on the Ridge of a pine forest with a wolf. Explaining that I should never fear anything and am never alone. Also that I should stay wise and cautious and not feel guilty for feeling alarmed all the time and cautious .. That is powerful. first time w that. I am amazed . Can I purchase a drum and do this myself? or is it better to listen ? very new to this

    Thank you :-) I don't understand why people are interpreting your brief explannation into what one particular way of journeying might be, to mean that you 'aren't a shaman'. Shamanism is a very individual practise and only the individual knows whether they are called to work shamanically, and whether they have had any training. I think people are a bit quick with some assumptions :-) But that's just my view!

    @Kingydgreat 5 месяцев назад

    I’m new to this. And I just started this particular beat.
    Unfortunately, I did not meet my spirit animal. What I experienced was peculiar.
    i started with a view of me, kind of driving (seems like it) on trail in the forest, then moved to the mountains, then back to the forest, and here’s where it gets really odd - it went pitch black. Then. When I try to get on it again, I am in this endless dark abyss with different colors and shapes. I started with blue, then magenta, then green, for a moment white, then back to blue, and then i heard the drum call to go back.
    What could that mean? It was an awesome feeling to be honest. Its almost like i was just foating through.

      you journey to a theta beat.. that is a bit fast for me but there is a range of theta.. see link below, usually after a while the spirits will take over the drumming and facilitate the drumming for you. . my first journey training was with a Foundation for Shamanic Studies workshop. I have been to a lot of drumming's and so called shaman trainings.. but I still like the core shamanic practice best.. filters out all the culturally specific stuff. emphasis on ..'Stuff'.. everyone has free will do it however you want. www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-music&field-keywords=pure+theta+tones

I got my own drum too, but if I want to focus completely or need a quieter solution, drumming tracks are helpful. I will try this one now...having skipped forward, I like the cadence and sound of this drum, and his voice reminds me of Alan Watts.

    The shift takes practice, but, too good to be true is where you are, and it's ....

    I wasn't able to actually formulate speech or hear any responses from the multiple animals that visited me. But I mostly danced and touched and swam with them and they interacted with me as a loose unit of demonstrated advice and assisted energy transfers. Towards the end I felt a wash of heat beneath my skin that surfaced as a sensation of coolness and it pulled me to consciousness before the call back. I don't know what happened that altered the experience from what was led to be expected.

    This was exactly what I was looking for tonight; thank you! I wanted some rhythmic, shamanic-like drumming for meditation without a narrated journey, and I adore the bodhran. 💜 This was perfect. Saved for later. Does Ireland have its own history of a druid or pagan style shamanism?

      And now coming back to this a day later, there's a video in the recommended stuff on the side answering that, haha!

    I hear more then one drum. When I took my headphones out I kept hearing it.

    This gives me a feeling of being slightly out of body. Still looking through physical eyes, but barely holding on. So strange.

    I get on the floor, or yoga mat, let the muscle memory flow!
