Mental Health & Well-being

'Rhythm is a means of organizing sound into specific energy formulas to harmonize the mind and body. Chanting, rhythmic breathing and drumming form an ancient technology for directly synchronizing the mind/body complex, creating conditions for psychological and physical healing.' - Layne Redmond.

Drumming is at the cutting edge of artistic therapies. Studies have found that group drumming reduces stress, anxiety and tension and can release negative feelings, blockages and emotional trauma. Music stimulates un-accessed areas of the brain which control the senses for hearing, sight, sound and touch. It increases the need to connect with others and encourages the person to become engaged in their environment.

Studies suggest that regular participation in group drumming is as effective for depression and anxiety disorders as using medication. Research also indicates drumming reinforces the recovery process by promoting relaxation, encouraging the release of emotional trauma and improving social and emotional growth.
