New Drum song for the New Year Hello Everyone, The human brain has been evolving for eons- and its not finished improving itself. But it has vestigial artifacts from early primitive brain patterns. One ancient brain pattern is our sense of rhythm and it’s relationship to the outside environment. When we sleep do we hear rhythm? You bet. When we are awake or asleep our system tells us if the environment is safe based on the rhythmic signature of the space our body is inhabiting at that moment. If we are sleeping in a cave and hear a rumble, then our belief system tells our survival system to get up , tense muscles and get ready for something terrible. If you are sleeping in a five star hotel with sound proofed walls then you are probably not going to send that survival message to your body unless there is an earthquake. Our system has monitored rhythm in the environment since literally the beginning of time. It is how we have survived. Fast tempos mean possible danger, speeding up tempos create adrenaline. Slowing tempos suggest safe spaces and slow tempos ensure healing, meditation and rest. But there is a glitch in the system. And it has to do with technology. Since Freud came up with the Unconscious about 1896, we have been trying to understand why it works the way it does. Entrainment is a word coined about the same time also in Vienna. If an object is in rhythm it will affect other objects in its area of influence. The other objects will try to entrain to the dominant rhythm in the environment. And that is why there are powerful rhythmic soundtracks on movies, TV shows and commercials. The rhythms tell us how they want us to feel and we react because we are rhythmic animals. We can’t really help it. In the beginning this talent to entrain was helpful , the environmental rhythms were slow. Now the rhythms are fast and it is driving us crazy, sick and angry into a headlong rush tripping over our own evolution by pushing too hard, not giving time to what is essential, not listening to our instinctual good sense and often being influenced by some elses’ dysfunctional patterns.

Thoughts on why we are here. Russell Buddy Helm
What is the Human Race? It is a race to consciousness- and it has always been going on. The drum helps. Rhythm can reintegrate pieces of our soul that are blown off of our selves resulting from trauma and sickness. We were originally connected but if we are born then we have some level of delayed stress. Learning to” lay back the tempo” like in the old blues players and the Allman Brothers band, or Marvin Gaye or Ray Charles, or Al Green, will enable the person to reestablish themselves at the top of their own hierarchy in themselves. It will be safe to come out of hiding We are at the Drum Age- just the beginning. Discovering what the drum can be used for will be a great journey of discovery for many people. So you want to use the drum for healing?Russell Buddy Helm Santa Monica There are things to take into consideration before unleashing the power of the drum. Firstly; is the space safe? The drum will give the feeling that the space is safe, but make sure that it is. Also, that there is a visual for the participant(s) to trance on without fixating on a negative image. A window is good that shows trees and a blue sky. Of course the angle of the drum is critically important. So that is why I advise you to purchase the specially designed drums stands from http://www.buddyhelm.com/store. The metal or wooden stands hold the drum at the right angle so that the participant can relax their legs and experience a yoga state of body relaxation. |
