HORSE DRUMMING SONG
As I run, I breathe. With each breath, I burn. With my sweat, I grieve. With my strength, I return. I am the Hawk in flight, I'm the Dolphin on Earth. I'm burning Sunfire bright, I'm drumming from birth. I am the Hawk in flight, I'm the Dolphin on Earth. I'm burning Sunfire bright, I'm drumming from birth, I'm drumming on the Earth. In the Circle, we breathe. With each breath, we burn. With our tears, we grieve. With our strength, we return. I am the Hawk in flight, I'm the Dolphin on Earth. I'm burning Sunfire bright, I'm drumming from birth. I am the Hawk in flight, I'm the Dolphin on Earth. I'm burning Sunfire bright, I'm drumming from birth, I'm drumming on the Earth. |

Moments From a sound immersion at braithe center
Music and sound have been used for healing in all cultures, for thousands of years. Those working with sound as a healing modality know that we respond at the cellular level to sound itself. The healing ability of the parasympathetic nervous system is engaged with intention-filled positive vibration. The number of scientific studies dealing with sound and the brain continues to grow. Many of those studies reinforce the understanding of sound therapists that our brains "entrain" to beats and frequencies, allowing sound to shift our brainwave state.
During a waking state, our brains vibrate at a frequency in the range of 14-30 Hertz (Hz), or cycles per second. When we sleep, our brains vibrate between .5 and 4 Hz. The brain's relaxed, healing states are Alpha (8-13 Hz), and Theta (4-8 Hz), which can be induced through the physical law of entrainment. When a rhythm or frequency is introduced, the brain will respond, vibrating at the same frequency. Your brain "gets in step" with that frequency, and there is a shift in brainwave state. A sound therapist uses this automatic response to facilitate these deeper states of awareness and relaxation.
Intention Breath Vibration
When we use intention and breath to create vibration,
we access the deep healing potential of sound and music.
