The sound of the drum beat softly as I read Faye Johnstone\u2019s Shamanic Reiki Drumming; Intuitive Healing with Sound and Vibration.<\/em> It\u2019s the first book I\u2019ve read with my drum by my side, periodically drumming and reading as I ventured along the veil of words and worlds. I loved every minute of it. Faye provides extensive materials for beginners as well as the validation and support needed for practitioners in the wide field of healing arts. This book will obviously draw readers who are connected with Shamanism and Reiki energy healing, however the practices and protocols could be adopted and adapted to fit many people interested in self-inquiry and facilitating groups or support spaces for others. There is a wealth of wisdom shared within this compact and easy to digest book. Faye Johnstone has over twenty years of experience as a Reiki Master and it shows in her overflowing generosity of suggestions and outlines to help anyone regardless of their expertise in exploring the healing powers of the drum. She leaves much room for personal exploration, trusting the reader will grow in their relationship with their practice, ultimately having their own experiences through the presence of their own unique Divine connection and integration. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Shamanic Reiki Drumming,<\/em> Faye Johnstone covers extensively the fears, inhibitions, and questions new practitioners or students may have regarding Reiki and Shamanism. She includes some scientific studies about the healing powers of both, and covers thoroughly guidelines and protocols to ensure safety, integrity, and compassion is at the forefront of all healing sessions. This book is jam packed with mediations, journeys, and techniques. It\u2019s filled with checklists, journal templates, treatment outlines, and a comprehensive list of book recommendations at the end. Faye Johnstone left no rock unturned. This book serves as a companion and resource guide for self-explorations and for those who choose to venture out and share their gifts with the world. Faye also includes her own voice and poetic expression, encapsulating her own personal journey with Reiki and Shamanism. Her raw honesty and depth of compassion is transmitted in the pages. She softly and confidently walks the reader to safely explore their curiosities and passions, assuring that we can do this and ultimately have nothing to fear. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I first met Faye Johnstone on an online platform, a community garden council where she and I sat on the board with ten other women, mostly herbalists and spiritual seekers back in 2020. I was overjoyed when, as synchronicity should have it, I saw her name on the list of authors on paganpagesorg. I immediately requested the privilege of reviewing her latest book, Shamanic Reiki Drumming; Intuitive Healing with Sound and Vibration.<\/em> Faye Johnstone is an Herbalist, author, and practitioner of Reiki and Shamanism. From Nova Scotia to Scotland she has developed and shared her love and devotion of nature and personal transformation far and wide, having written and published three books up to date. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Shamanic Reiki Drumming<\/em> is a Calling to dive deeper into the mysteries, embody more of our authenticity and power, find, activate and express our true voice, and step into collaborative reciprocity as an Earthling with all of Nature and Spirit. She states, \u201cEach of us have a part to play, a voice that needs to sing and a rhythm to dance and weave. The animals, plants, elements and birds, they weave their magic too alongside us in the web of all things. The ancestors are whispering, your spirit guides are nudging you to step through the portal\u2019. This book bridges community and fosters connection and healing. We as humans can get caught up in the titles and labels of Healers, Reiki or Energy Practitioners, Shamans, Etc, hindering our access and natural curiosity. Faye however gently opens the door for us to confront our biases and beliefs, reservations and constraints, and follow the Call of our Spirit. This book calls us into empowered action with conscious intention and playful fascination. She has already written and created the steps. All we need to do is take the initial leap! The book is here for those ready and willing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
