this is a starter guide to the art of using and playing a shamanic rattle for sound healing and ceremony


i’ve been playing and journeying with shamanic rattle for over 20 years since the start of my shamanic journey with lynne (rip) at flowering tree in derbyshire i have many fond memories of us singing and playing drum and rattle and i hope to pass on this wisdom and knowledge to you


The rattle has been used since the dawn of time and is one of the most ancient sound healing instruments, used by Shamans and medicine men and women for journeying, healing and ceremony work. it is a super powerful instrument thst has many uses

the rattle is believed to embody the sacred forces of the cosmos through its sounds,

  • SPACE CLEARING

  • HEALING

  • CEREMONY

  • SACRED CIRCLE WORK

  • JOURNEYING

  • FOR PRAYERS AND INTENTIONS

PLAYING THE RATTLE

Here are a few ways to use your rattle to get you started:

HOLDING THE RATTLE

  • Hold in you dominant hand

  • Hold the rattle gently between your thumb and index finger allowing the other fingers to curl gently around the handle

  • Let the whole arm relax

  • Play for short periods of time to start




BASIC RATTLE MOVEMENTS

The rattle can be played

SIDE TO SIDE

or

UP AND DOWN

Note: always let the rattle move freely in these directions as you hold a gentle relaxed grip


SHOOSHING

Gently move your rattle from side to side to sound a constant sound (holding the handle very loosely so the rattle can move gently and freely)


THE CONSTANT BEAT
