For more than a thousand years, the Sufi way of drumming has been used as a means of reaching an altered or trance-like state that puts us in the present moment, inducing a happy, calm relaxation. By simply feeling the beat, a sense of connectedness is created allowing the group to flow with the rhythms of life as one voice.
