13 Take your time coming back, and grounding yourself back in your body, drink water and you may feel the need to eat something, or maybe a hot tea. Do what you need to nurture yourself back into your body. Some emotions may be released, and that s quite normal so don t worry, just make sure you have some tissues to hand. Journal your experiences in your manual This is when you might want to draw on your drum your power animal (or animals if you have more than one) and the spirit of your drum. If you have any other spirit guides or shamans that you work with you may want to draw them too. It s a great way of honoring them and connecting closer to them when Reiki drumming, it also really personalizes your drum. I recommend an ordinary pencil, and if you make mistakes you can rub it out. After 24 hours the pencil drawings seem to set and don t rub off any more. You may want to paint it too but ensure you buy good quality craft paint from a reputable craft shop. Here is a picture of mine You have now completed module 7. Cathy your feedback of this section with any queries, experiences, sensations, insights & findings with regards to your Reiki Drum Journey.. How did you find the experience?

Was it what you expected? 13

14 MODULE 8 (This section will take longer to complete as you will be giving Reiki Drum treatments, so allow yourself approximately 2-4 weeks to complete this section) Read pages 27 & 28 Watch video clip no. 6 for a demonstration and tips on how to conduct a Reiki Drum mental/emotional reprogramming treatment. Giving Reiki Drum mental/emotional reprogramming treatments find a couple of willing volunteers to practice this treatment on. I recommend using 2 different people and each person receives 3 or 4 sessions, as this way both you and the participant will be more likely to see benefits if a series of treatments are completed rather than just one treatment. Allow 1 1 and a half hours for each treatment including consultation process before hand and feedback from recipient afterwards. What you will need: Treatment couch or somewhere comfortable for your client to lie down Pillows & cushions for their warmth and comfort Items for smudging and preparation Your drum Client consultation sheet and treatment record sheet & pen Clock or watch to keep time.

Watch video clip no. 7 for a visual of the Reiki Drum Journey Timeline. Copy the Reiki Drum Journey timeline into your manual for your reference. Watch the rest of video clip no. 7 for guidance and tips on leading a Reiki Drum Journey. Leading Reiki Drum Journeys find some willing volunteers to practice this treatment on. I recommend you have a go at leading a couple of people individually on a journey but also leading a couple of people as a group so they all experience their journey at the same time. Aim to lead a journey at least 3 or 4 separate sessions, in order to get used to this way of working. Allow 1 1 and a half hours for each treatment including consultation process before hand and feedback from recipient afterwards. What you will need: Treatment couch or somewhere comfortable for your client to lie down Pillows & cushions for their warmth and comfort Items for smudging and preparation Your drum Client consultation sheet and treatment record sheet & pen Clock or watch with seconds hand to keep time.

You have also experienced 3 separate Reiki drum Journeys yourself with the guided journey audio tracks, so you should be well prepared to lead a Reiki Drum Journey now. Journal your experiences in your manual. You have now completed module 9. Cathy your feedback of this section with any queries, experiences, sensations, insights & findings with regards to leading Reiki Drum Journeys. What was the journey intent of your clients? What did they experience? How did you prepare the clients and how did you find explaining the process to them? Was it useful having the timeline to follow?
