reiki drum... shaman drum... choku rei drum...

A shamanic Reiki drum i birthed...

This is a healing drum...

...one that i recently created into being...

...and, the process was an interesting one to work with ...a very powerful energy symbol... always, creating sacred drums hold their own process and timing and also always teach me so much... creating any drum always challenge me on some level or another... and i sometimes wonder why i even do it... but spirit keeps nudging me to keep on keeping on...

This sacred drum taught me a lot about simplicity... about ease, clearness and right action... and to not worry... particularly about "perfection"... this drum taught me to let go of always having to perfect...

During this drum's creation, i was struck as to how simply the drum came together... i like that the frame is not perfectly round but in the end result, i believe turned out quite beautiful in it's imperfection...

The Choku Rei symbol i chose to paint on this drum is one of the 2nd degree symbols used in the ancient hands-on healing art of Reiki.

Reiki means “Universal Life Energy” and comes from and through ancient shamanic traditions in Japan, Tibet and many others.

I work with the Reiki energy within my energy-healing practice including the sacred drum often combining both within a treatment...

Choku Rei, (pronounced choke-koo-ray) translated means, “fill with Holy Spirit,” or, “Spirit/God/Goddess is here!”...

As a symbol in Reiki practice, it is used for directing universal energy and for amplifying this energy. It breaks through blocked or stagnant energy and transforms negative energy to positive energy. It is often drawn before beginning a healing and can also be drawn to bring a blessing to any place. Drawing it before a healing is a bit like a signal to switch on the healing energy and to increase its power.

Takata Sensei (one of Reiki’s lineage teachers) called this symbol the "Invocation of universal power". Often, healers draw this symbol over their palms before placing their hands. Wearing this symbol is a statement that you wish to connect to universal spirit and be a sacred vessel for this energy to flow through.

I always draw this symbol on my own healing drum before i assist someone in the healing (transformation) work… as i feel the sacred drum works as an extension of the “healing that sources” through me (as the hollow bone) to wherever the healing energy needs to go and occur in it’s own time and space.

Working with the sacred drum also breaks up blocked and stagnant energy and amplifes the “Reiki”.


I feel sooo honoured to offer healing (for wherever the healing needs to go) to those who wish to move energy and shift that which needs to be shifted within their lives...

a shamanic ocean drum... with a celtic triskel...

This is a true shamanic drum because it is double-sided with deer-hide.

Two-sided (double-headed) drums when played create 3 sounds – from sounding one side of the drum, that sound bounces off the opposite side (hide) back thus the two sounds create a third sound – “sound creating sound”…

The ancient symbol painted on this drum is a Celtic Triskel or Triskele – with many meanings from also other traditions as well…

Some representing the sacred number “3”… body, mind, spirit… maiden, mother, crone… past, present, future… the 3 worlds: the lowerworld, middleworld, upperworld… the unconscious, conscious, super-conscious… and more… action… cycles… progress… revolution… moving forward… in-breath... between-breath... out-breath...

have a listen.... and journey on the wave of the powerful sound of mama Coacha - mother ocean...

The meaning of three is about the union of two parts to create a unique whole. That point of union forms the fruit of knowledge - it is our access point to unlimited potential.

It is no accident that all the mystic teachings incorporate the power of three within their folds. Three represents the union of the numbers prior to it (One and Two). Numerologically speaking, if One represents force, and Two represents an opening, then Three is the birthing of true wisdom.

Why did i choose this symbol for an ocean drum? I feel it can also represent the constant movement of our mother ocean and her powerful healing cleansing energy…

This drum is also special because it is an “ocean drum”. Inside this drum are many tiny metal beads… one way to play this drum is to turn it on it’s side and gently rock the drum back and forth horizontally, moving the metal beads together (as one) which create the sound of the ocean waves rolling onto the beach…

This sound is very powerful, present-giving and meditative – also wonderful for ceremony and very healing...

I had a blast birthing this very special drum... it taught me alot about the ocean and our sacred waters that give us life - for without water we would not exisit... i give much gratitude to the sacred waters......... thank you mama coacha - great mother ocean... thank you...
