Russia Beyond the Headlines: Landmark Festival Source

Drum rites, rituals, meditation, mysteries, and throat singing are all part of the program. The organizers also promise to hold interesting seminars and master classes on the spiritual practices of shamans and divination. All those interested will also be taught the “Eagle” dance, which is part of the Un-Hun spiritual health program. The global goal of the festival is the revival of the shamanic traditions.

Its nice to see shamans at this range still existing within life.

A friend recently introduced me to the music of Tuvan singer Oidupaa Vladimir Oiun and I discovered the Tuvan style throat singing through his music. It's very enchanting and I'd encourage people to look it up on youtube or elsewhere for some otherworldly tunes.

IIRC, Terence McKenna in Food of the Gods mentioned the theory, that the vibration of loud vocalization massaged and cleansed the brain and thus aided in human evolution. I could well imagine that, listening to this music. A powerful shamanic tool.

What extraordinary sounds! :surprised Very enjoyable. Sometimes I make sounds like that from time to time. The woman and music really expresses itself in some kind of alien / animal-like, spiritual force. Amazing.. I can see its beneficial effect on the mind, body and heart.
