Spirit Drumming: A Guide to the Healing Power of Rhythm

This is an absolutely gorgeous book. Spirit Drumming is filled with the author's moving stories of his own experiences with his drums. As well as other contributors beautiful drum stories. I thought that I would read a bit now and then but once I started reading, I could not put it down. I found myself reading a few pages and then just having to sit a powerful paragraph and let it sink in to fully grasp the power, not only of the drum itself but the experience of how it effects the body, mind and the spirit.Perhaps we could all start drumming across the great earth and save her and then us. I am looking forward to chanting and drumming with friends soon. Thank you for providing this work of art for all of us.

Gabriel Horn (White Deer of Autumn) offers in Spirit Drumming profound teachings that will resonate through the years. Crafted with exquisite care and beauty, both in word and image, this book is truly a gift to Spirit. I found myself reading and stopping to reflect on what I had read over and over. Gabe's personal stories and messages, woven skillfully with the stories of others, create a sense of intimacy, as though author and reader are alone in the Universe during these important sharings that transcend the subject matter and connect with the very Heart of Being. Gabe writes as he lives: with purity of heart, with love for the Earth and all her creatures, and with devotion to Truth.

I was hoping to get a book about how to do the beats but lots of talk but nothing that really shows you how to play it.

Spirit Drumming, a meaningful and powerful guide, is about much more than drumming. It invites the reader to understand and honor their connectedness with Mother Earth, all Her creatures, and the sacred use of the Drum. Gabriel Horn, a familiar indigenous author, shares his experiences, spiritual growth, and communication with and through the Drum. Gabriel, forever a teacher, reveals the Natural within each of us. He shares his knowledge of wholeness with the Drum as a special way to value all heartbeats and share our heartbeat with others. I have read the entire book, and still find myself returning to it to find the words or ideas that I want to ponder again. It is a very insightful read about living in the Wheel.

This book made the recipient very happy.

Everyone who has read any of Gabe's writings knows that he speaks from his deep and beautiful soul. His writing is powerful in a centered and meditative way. I love anything he writes and I love this book- Gabe never disappoints.

Wonderful book by one of the best Indigenous authors of our era! So pleased to have a poem in this great book!

Bought as a gift which was joyfully accepted.

Interesting, but it seems more like a Native-ized introduction to Hermetic philosophy and New Thought.
