Drumming & Sound Healing – Christine Stevens
– Sale page –
How many times a day do you find yourself humming a tune in your head?
Or singing along to music in your car or while preparing dinner?
We’re all drawn to music… and we even have an innate songwriting instinct. Childhood development studies show that all children make up songs when they’re about two years old — without ever being taught.
Music makes us feel good AND it can actually heal us.
According to modern science — which has caught up with what Indigenous cultures have known for centuries — sound is an essential tool for facilitating emotional release, spiritual growth, consciousness shifting, brain optimizing, and overall healing.
Just one hour of drumming, according to a recent study, can notably boost our immune systems, even reverse stress-related genomic codes in our DNA.
And these benefits can multiply when we connect with others to consciously create sound. Worldwide studies of choral singers show evidence of improved moods, better health, and a sense of belonging from singing together.
In this brand-new 7-step musical journey with author, speaker, drummer, and music therapist Christine Stevens, you’ll be immersed in the healing vibrations of music as medicine with opportunities to listen, receive, drum (no skill or drum required), and tone using your own voice.
You’ll experience sounds aligned with the Music Medicine Wheel and nature’s four elements — Earth (rhythm), Water (harmony), Fire (melody), and Air (silence) — to discover and release stuck emotions for an inner tuning of your body, mind, heart, and soul.
As you find which melodies touch your heartstrings, you’ll discover that just as power animals are sought through shamanic journeying, we all have power songs that strengthen, transform, and inspire us — a concept based on an actual medical phenomenon.
And you’ll even discover the healing inherent in the silences between sounds, and the musical term rest as a metaphor for the powerful practice of resting — inviting you to make space between the notes of your life to breathe, take in, and integrate beauty.
During this uplifting and self-empowering new program with Christine, you’ll:
- Experience a sound bath for purification and healing
- Learn how to use sound to impact your immune system and your brain’s pleasure system
- Feel how rhythm, flute music, silence, and song provide self-healing
- Find the instrument that most resonates with your needs
- Discover your personal medicinal music to awaken your inner music
- Design a way of greeting the day to anchor gratitude, peace, and harmony
- Discover the bhakti (devotional energy) of call-and-response in kirtan chanting
- Learn to turn a favorite poem into song through a Radiance Sutra Jam Join in toning Ohm to experience a roar of joy
- Learn to play singing bowls and other instruments of silence
- Discover how to feel into your own rhythm for expression on drums
- Explore how music can connect with nature and be an offering of healing to the planet
- Discover ceremonies, songs, and rhythms for healing nature and the planet
- And much more…
Christine, who holds master’s degrees in social work and music therapy, inspires people all over the world with her message that music promotes holistic health, spirituality, and wellness.
She’s taught drumming to cancer patients, corporate employees of Fortune 500 companies, women’s empowerment groups, disaster survivors, and even those in war zones. She’s also a teacher’s teacher, training drumming facilitators globally.
You’ll discover how exploring melodies can help you find your authentic voice, and how harmonizing with others can help you experience the power of togetherness, creating a bridge from me to we.
When you receive or create the healing vibrations of sound, you allow your body, heart, and soul to open to a flow they have always known — and you become the music…
In doing so, you can harmonize the dissonance of your emotions, liberate your spirit, and accelerate your journey to wholeness.
Drumming & Sound Healing will allow you to deeply experience music as medicine for your heart, mind, body, and soul — and as a powerful healing tool you can readily turn to for its quick transformative effects the rest of your life.
And remember: no musical experience — drum or other instrument — is necessary to enjoy and benefit from this musical journey… just a willingness to open to healing sounds and spontaneous feelings of liberation, joy, and self-expression.
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-part transformational intensive, Christine will guide you as you immerse yourself in the healing vibrations of music as medicine — to release stuck emotions and experience an inner tuning of your body, mind, heart, and soul.
This course will feature teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Christine. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to harmonize the dissonance of your emotions, liberate your spirit, and accelerate your journey to wholeness.
Module 1: Healing Yourself With Music Medicine
You know what you love. Go there.
— Sutra 18 from The Radiance Sutras by Dr. Lorin Roche
Modern science is demonstrating what Indigenous cultures practiced and knew; that sound is an essential tool for cultivating emotional release, relationship building, healing, and spirituality.
In this opening session, you’ll experience sounds aligned with the music medicine wheel and become aware of your own inner tuning with the four elements of rhythm, melody, harmony and silence — correlated with body, mind, heart, and soul.
The wheel is an ancient form of wholeness that appears as the mandala for Tibetan Buddhism, the medicine wheel for First Nations People, and the Celtic Tree of Life for Druidic cultures. We will experience the four elements of sound and how they correlate with nature’s elements — Earth (rhythm), Water (harmony), Fire (melody), and Air (silence).
In this session, you’ll:
- Experience a sound bath for purification, release, and healing
- Learn leading-edge science that documents how sound impacts the brain, the immune system, and the brain’s pleasure system
- Feel how rhythm, flute, silence and song offer self-healing
- Identify the instrument that is most resonant to your needs
- Discover your personal medicinal music — and awaken your own inner music
Module 2: Rhythm, the Element of Earth, as Medicine for Your Body
When the bodily dust is gone,
My moon shines,
My spirit’s moon finds a clear sky
For age, O adored one,
I have been beating the drum of love for thee
(to the tune of) “Lo, my life depends on my dying.”
— Rumi
We are incubated in rhythm. Your mother’s heartbeat was your first concert in the womb. Rhythm reaches the inner heartbeat that is the drum within us all, a sound felt and heard from a time before birth. Rhythm is everyone’s homeland. Your body is wired for rhythm. You are a walking, talking, ticking, tocking polyrhythm. Rhythm calls the body to dance and the tribe to gather. The unstoppable drum plays, and the dance goes on.
The drum shows up when people are transforming because drumming is an evolutionary driver. The Hindu deity Shiva, lord of the dance, holds a drum. Scientific studies have shown that the impact of just one hour of drumming on the immune system can even reverse stress-related genomic codes.
In this session, you’ll:
- Learn a drum massage for full-body healing
- Explore the principle of entrainment — and how it operates in your body and sonic field
- Learn to create rhythm using drums and body percussion
- Explore the intersection of rhythm and silence for expansion and meditation
- Invoke the element of Earth to stay in rhythm with the natural cycles
Module 3: Melody, the Element of Fire, as Medicine for Your Heart
Wherever breath flows there is song…
Dancing spirals in the sanctuary of your heart…
You are the instrument breath is playing…
This is your school. Just you and infinity.
The texture of the Self is untamed freedom.
— Sutra 18 from The Radiance Sutras by Dr. Lorin Roche
The Lakota Nation carries a musical creation story that highlights the spiritual journey of melody. They say “First Born emerged from quivering mud to the rhythm of his own heart. Afterwards, man learned to use this rhythm for making songs. Certain ones discovered the true power in song; the power for making spiritual contact.”
From Krishna’s flute to the Native American flute, the magnetic energy of a serenade calls a longing heart into the chamber of the Beloved.
Like power animals, we all have power songs that strengthen, transform and inspire us. We are moved by melodies that pluck our heartstrings. We all have an innate songwriting instinct — childhood development studies show that all children make up songs around age two, without ever being taught. And in the principle of sonic alchemy, we can transmute emotions and literally take a sad song and make it better.
In this session, you’ll:
- Experience a personal power song practice
- Awaken your voice through the 4 keys of song
- Discover the true nature of the pentatonic scale, where there are no wrong notes
- Design your own way of greeting the day to anchor gratitude, peace, and harmony
- Discover the bhakti of call-and-response chanting in kirtan style
- Learn to turn a favorite poem into song in the Radiance Sutra Jam style
Module 4: Harmony, the Element of Water, as Medicine for Your Soul
— Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Mysticism of Music, Sound, and Word
Life wants to harmonize! Just as melody helps us find our individual voice, harmony helps us discover the power of togetherness — from me to we. We are all wired for resonance in the principle of sympathetic vibration, in which a guitar string on one instrument resonates an unstruck note on another instrument.
Science is now finding how “mirror neurons” demonstrate how much we are wired for connection. Worldwide studies of choral singers demonstrate that they experience greater health, better mood states, and a sense of belonging from singing together on a regular basis, which is something being embraced in the UK Ministry of Health’s “social prescribing.”
The Hindu deity Saraswati, goddess of audible arts, comes from a river and embodies the divine element of harmony and water. We literally flow together into duets with nature and friends as we experience the music bridge, transcending language barriers and leading to the heightened spiritual state of unity consciousness.
In this session, you’ll:
- Discover what instruments reach your soul — and give you “soul bumps” like goose bumps
- Learn a practice to harmonize with nature
- Learn a practice to be in harmony with all of your relations
- Experience the music bridge
- Experience the thumb piano and strumstick — easy instruments of harmony
- Create a global ensemble for transformation using zoom
Module 5: Silence, the Element of Air, as Medicine for Your Mind
Come out of your cave of silence.
— Paramahansa Yogananda
It is said that before there is sound, there is silence. The Lakota Nation have a word for the silence that originates all sound: skan-skan wakan. The musical term “rest” is a metaphor for the powerful practice of resting, making space between the notes of your life. Silence gives music space to breathe, and gives listeners time to digest, upload, and integrate beauty.
The four types of musical silence help us track the space between sound and incorporate the principle of resting for integration and meditation. Ironically, a listening study showed that the space between music offered the most impact in terms of heart measures of relaxation. The Buddha best represents the element of stillness and air — the breath that creates meditation and mindfulness.
In this session, you’ll:
- Learn how to play a singing bowl
- Be given tips on practicing silence
- Experience a guided meditation on listening to Nature and the element of air
- Discover tools for cultivating inner silence — the neuroscience of quietude
Module 6: Inner Music, the Element of Ether, as Medicine for Your Spirit
— Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Mysticism of Music, Sound, and Word
St. Francis of Assisi said, “Make me an instrument.” Now that we’ve experienced the four elements of sound healing, we’ll step into the medicine wheel mandala for our personal healing and embodiment — becoming music. What is your pitch, your tempo, your vibration, your timbre? What is the music you are here to play? Your inner music is a place of rejuvenation, a “muse” of inspiration, helping you discover the creative force within you.
Scientific studies demonstrate two key principles for activating your inner music, based on MRI brain studies of jazz musicians. The first is permission, not perfection. The second is creativity; not complexity. We will explore the principle of resonance and how to bring your core into attunement — body, mind, heart, and soul.
In this session, you’ll:
- Experience the healing benefits of the 4 elements of music within your inner world
- Join a toning practice with the seed syllable OHM, the roar of joy that set the world in motion
- Understand how to use the wheel for personal healing
- Experience how it feels to sit with your own rhythm, melody, harmony, and silence
- Discover the sounds of the inner realms
- Be inspired to make your own personal sound-healing practice
Module 7: Eco-Music as Medicine for the World
— Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Music of Life
Music is the global language, a tool for planetary transformation ushering in a time of harmony in our new co-created world. Richard Rudd’s “Gene Keys” predicts three stages of humanity’s awakening sequence; from the Harmonic Convergence in the ’80s, to the second stage of the Melodic Resonance in 2012, to the upcoming stage known as the Rhythmic Symphony.
In the movie 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama, His Holiness is asked what we can do to create peace. With a huge smile on his face, the Dalai Lama says, “more music festivals.”
In this session, you’ll:
- Discover the balance of inner and outer music
- Establish your practice of becoming shamans of a new consciousness
- Explore a menu of musical service ideas — knowing what is yours to do
- Understand how to become the highest practitioners of sound healing
- Discover ceremonies, songs, and rhythms for nature and the planet

“… my ‘inner soul’ was constantly nourished…”
This course was what I really needed at this time in my life and I benefited tremendously from all aspects of the training! I felt like my “inner soul” was constantly nourished by the drumming and music and it felt great! I highly recommend it to everyone!

Wonderful to start experiencing myself as a rhythmic person! I also feel the healing experience of the drum. I enjoyed those teachings very much and would like to know more about this.
— Anna-Maria
“I came alive again.”
I had been suffering a little depression and was trying to move out of it when I saw the promos for this course. It was as if I came alive again. I am back feeling good. The class was spectacular — thank you so much!
— Annie, Sarasota, Florida
“… discovered a personal journey with my drum I could not have imagined.”
I joined the course with the intention of broadening my skills within sound healing work but I experienced so much more and discovered a personal journey with my drum I could not have imagined. This is just the start of an exciting adventure with healing rhythms, shadow drumming and nature meditations which I gratefully embrace and look forward to sharing with others. Many thanks to Christine and the team for guiding me to a deeper connection with my drum, for the self-healing and clearing that occurred during the course and which will continue…
— Ashay Sarah, United Kingdom
“… enabled me to normalize my blood pressure… a very real and healing experience.”
This amazing course enabled me to normalize my blood pressure, bring me into a more aware state of being, and has been a very real and healing experience. The added blessing being able to connect with other Spirit drummers, and enabling me to start teaching drumming to others.
— Sherrie Hoyer, Gardena, California
“… helped me to bring drumming deeply into my spiritual practice.”
The two courses I have taken with Christine have helped me to bring drumming deeply into my spiritual practice. I am using it for vibration healing. I discovered that I must have an ancestral lineage of drummers because I sure do love it! Thank you, Christine, for your wisdom, your expertise, your inclusion and your passion for the messages of the drum.
— Cara Lumen, Olathe, Kansas
“This course helped me connect with my drum and use it meaningfully.”
I came to the course a total novice with a new drum. This course helped me connect with my drum and use it meaningfully. Thanks!
— Dorothy Brown, Chicago, Illinois
“I am brand new to drumming at 72 and the course definitely awakened my rhythm.”
I enjoy drumming to take a pause to reset several times a day. I have joined a women’s full moon drumming circle. I am brand new to drumming at 72 and the course definitely awakened my rhythm.
— Rose, British Columbia, Canada
“… learned to use my drum to ground and center, express my emotions, and connect to nature.”
This course showed me that I don’t need a music degree to be able to play the drum! Through this course, I’ve learned to use my drum to ground and center, express my emotions, and connect to nature. It also got me excited to see how I can use this in my celebrant practice!
— Carol, Chicago, Illinois
“… opens up the creativity and confidence to be able to drum without inhibitions.”
I would certainly recommend this course to others because it opens up the creativity and confidence to be able to drum without inhibitions. To know that each and every one of us has rhythm, and just to let go, is probably the biggest positive impact it had for me. It also gave me a way of improving and deepening a small drum circle that I host. Thank you to Christine Stevens for this gift.
— Diane Rozzi, North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania
