| Cedric and Hedda Leonardi |
Drums have been used for
thousands of years in rituals, celebrations, and ceremonies. However, the merging of science with
the healing qualities of drumming is a relatively new development.
Today, drums are being used to
assist veterans to release the emotional pain of post-traumatic stress
disorder, releasing the pent up anger and negative emotions of “at risk”
adolescents, and promoting health in corporate executives through releasing
their day-to-day stress.
In the medical field, the hand
drum is being used to help Alzheimer’s patients improve their short term memory
and increase social interaction, and to help autistic children increase their attention spans.
In addition to relaxing the tense, energize the tired, and heal the
emotionally wounded, drums can induce light trance states and euphoria, promote
play, release anger and promote feelings of community and unity. Together, husband and wife team, Cedric
and Hedda Leonardi are exploring the applications and benefits of drumming to
improve the emotional, physical, and psychological health of people of all
ages, as well as accelerate the ascension process of those on a spiritual path.

Welcome to my world! I am so glad you stopped by and felt comfortable enough to join the conversation. I hope you will come back often - the weather is always sunny here (mostly), and the views are... well, whatever your reality makes of them.
