Shamanic Journey 1 - Michael Harner CD

Shamanic Journey is the puristic drum classic by Michael Harners Foundation for Shamanic Studies with single and double percussion as accompaniment for shamanic journeys, rhythmic exercises and dynamic yoga! Shamanic Journey is also ideal for trance induction.

The shamanic drumming on this album is an outstanding example of impeccable, uninterrupted shamanic journey drumming in the classic mode by Michael Harner, internationally recognized teacher and praticioner of shamanism. His large, single-head, round-frame hand drum produces the full frame of the auditory spectrum, from pulsing low-frequency throb to the subtle midrange nuances and high-frequency overtones.

Michael Harner introduced the Shamanic Journey drumming to the West in the 1970's. While working with his shamanic counseling clients, he discovered a technique known today as "simultanous narration". Using this method, many persons get results fully equivalent to those obtained with a live drum or rattle, and many consider the results superior.

The drumming is digitally recorded, edited and mastered. High-quality headphones or speakers are recommended to achieve the maximum range of fidelity of sound.
