Drum Journey Meditation

A restorative blend of rhythmic drumming and Yoga Nidra

Step into a deeply grounding experience as members of the JPH Sound Collective guide you through a Drum Journey Meditation — a practice rooted in rhythm, rest, and inner exploration. Participants are invited to lie down, settle into stillness, and allow the steady pulse of live drumming to wash over the body.

The session weaves together Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation known as “yogic sleep,” with the ancient tradition of rhythmic drumming. Yoga Nidra brings the mind into a state of profound relaxation, while the drumbeat works like a compass, helping the nervous system settle, the breath deepen, and the mind drift into a restorative, dreamlike state.

Drumming is a powerful tool for healing and meditation because its rhythm mirrors the natural patterns of the body — the heartbeat, the breath, the cycles of tension and release. The vibrations help quiet mental chatter, regulate the nervous system, and create a sense of connection to both the earth and the present moment. Many people describe the experience as grounding, clarifying, and emotionally freeing.

This journey is designed to help you:

• Release stress and tension
• Drop into deep rest
• Reconnect with your inner landscape
• Feel held by rhythm, sound, and community

A Drum Journey Meditation at JPH is more than a sound experience — it’s a chance to return to yourself, supported by the collective energy of the drums and the calming guidance of Yoga Nidra.
