From the Artist
"Our desire was to produce a shamanic drumming recording of the highest possible quality, using state of the art recording and mastering techniques to support the listener in expanding their consiousness and more fully exploring the richness of our human experience."
Product Description
Album Description Consciousness-altering rhythms for shamanic journeying, meditation or dreaming.
This recording has been digitally recorded and mastered to produce the richest acoustic depth and full tonal range necessary to alter consciousness for the purpose of making shamanic journeys.
The type of insistent, rapid drumming found on this recording can provide support for shifting consciousness. When shamans journey to the spirit realm, they enter a trance-like state of consciousness. In this trance state, the brain generates theta waves which are characterized by a 4 cycle-per-minute pattern. Research into altered states have determined that the deepest states of shamanic consciousness may be accessed by listening to rhythmic drumming of 4-beats-per-second because these rhythms replicate the natural theta state.
Step-by-step instructions for making successful shamanic journeys, using this method, are explained in Evelyn C. Rysdyk's book, Modern Shamanic Living. (It is strongly suggested that persons with no prior journey experience read this book first!) The sonic-supported journey technique, pioneered by anthropologist Dr. Michael Harner, provides an opportunity for ordinary people to access the realms of spirit in a very safe manner.
For best results, listen to this recording while wearing headphones. To make shorter journeys than the full CD length, skip to the call-back track when you feel ready to return.

The Pentultimate Shamanic Drumming CD.......2007-05-27
This is the only shamanic drumming CD you will ever need to own. The drumming is the best there is; you will never hear or work with better. Dr. Harner's work here is spectacular.
With the masterful use of a classic hoop drum and beater, a most precise, monmotonous beat is sustained for a 15- and then 30-minute shamanic journeys. This drumming helps the journeyer to achieve a core-shamanic shamanic state of consciousness. There are two versions of the drumming sessions on the CD -- single and double drumming.
I have used it exclusively for 10 years, and while I appreciate other offerings from other organizations and teachers (and because I have been a full-time shamanic practitioner for 10 years, I have road tested all of them), there is no question that this Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS) CD is the finest available. It is the only CD I allow my students to use when they are working with me in classes of 20 or 1.
Plus by buying it, you are supporting the Foundation for Shamanic Services, a nonprofit organization, whose decades of service have been devoted to supporting shamanism globally. So in addition to having the best drumming available, you will also be furthering FSS research, educational programs, and the vital support of living indigenous shamans.
Riding the drum.......2007-05-16
I've used this CD for almost a decade for journeying. It's simplistic and gentle, and a wonderful beacon to other worlds.
Excellent consistency with beat and call back........2007-05-15
I do a lot of journeys in the Shamanic work I am doing. Of course, live drumming can't be beat, but this is the next best thing. The consistency with the beat keeps my journey connected and I can really go deep. The double drumming is done seamlessly. Of great importance is having a call back signal that you can rely on to wrap up your journey properly, and all of Harner's Shamanic Journey CD's do this.
Drums and Drumming.......2007-05-12
I've been using Michael Harner's drumming tapes since the early 1980s, and still find them to be the best available. I especially like the double drumming and use it almost exclusively when I am not drumming for myself. To be honest, I prefer to drum for myself, but on those days when I don't feel up to it, or I want the deeper sound of double drumming (which I have not figured out how to do for myself...yet)I always rely on the double drumming tape/CD from the FSS. When working with clients and I want the background soundscape to be soft drumming and I can't do it myself, I always put the drumming tape/CD on the speakers. It facilitates my own work as a practitioner and the client benefits from the ASC created by listening to it.
Great!.......2007-05-12
I have used this CD numerous times for the Shamanic journeys that I do when working with clients and have found it to be great. The pace of the drumming works well for me and the option of two different lengths (15 and 30 minutes) before the callback begins is a great feature.

GREAT VIBS.......2007-04-22
When you don't go out with your rattle, and you are needing to meet with your animal totem, this CD does the job.
So this is Shamanic Drumming ..........2006-07-10
This is an interesting review to write - this CD does exactly what it says on the title, which is to induce a deep trance by the use of a single rhythm drum pattern, for shamanic journeys.
However, if you are looking for interesting ethnic drum beats or examples of native American drums, you won't find them here, because the entire CD, apart from two tracks at the beginning and the end which are each less than 2 minute in length, is one single drum pattern of four beats per second which repeats for nearly an hour.
If you want a shamanic trance, this product will deliver; but don't buy this if you want to be entertained!
Excellent drumming music for Shamanic Journeying.......2006-06-24
This is the best CD I have found so far for doing shamanic journeying to recorded drumming. There are just 3 tracks - inviting the spirits, the journey drumming, and a call back at the end. I loaded it onto my iPod and it works very well for me.
I found the sound quality to be excellent, crisp and clear, and the energy in the sound to be amazing. It really "does the job" and provides the horse to ride for the journey. A friend of mine had an incredible first journey just from using this recording. I also use it as a background when I am doing my own drumming, to assist and provide me with a "backup group."
Note: this is not a "musical" CD, and not just for listening to!
It's the real deal........2004-09-07
I've listened to this CD and it has lived up to its purpose, and then some. Deep trance is the name of this game. Heavily so. If you are open, it is quite a powerfull tool.
Excellent!.......2004-06-16
First I must say that if you are looking for entertaining music or drumming, look elsewhere; that's not the purpose of this CD. Additionally, listening to a shamanic drumming CD does not make an instant shaman out of anyone; if you are expecting this CD to transform your abilities, you are mistaken. Drumming is intended to promote trance induction, but it won't do you much good if you don't put yourself in the right mindset to trance or know what to do once you begin to trance.
That being said, this is a good shamanic drumming CD for people who already do trance work or who are exploring it for the first time under the preparation and/or guidance of someone who knows what they are doing. The drumming is a good speed and lasts long enough for a good trance session, and rattles accompany the drumming appropriately. Callback is also effective.

This soulful practice has been used by people all over the world and in all walks of life. The Shaman of indigenous societies were the ones who first originated this practice tens of thousands of years ago. They would journey for information in the interest of the tribes survival and healing. The practice is still used today for the same reasons and simply because its power is unmatched in communicating with your spriritual guides and helpers. You can journey to access personal divine guidance, for power and for healing. There are many levels of experience with the Shamanic Journey. The meditation tracks are suitable for all levels while the instructional portion is most helpful to the beginner. The drumming portion of this CD is only to be used during a deep meditation and never while your attention must be focused elsewhere. Allow this meditation to take you to a higher reality in your mind's eye to retrieve information for positive change in any area of your life. There is no limit to the number of times you can journey for information on your health, relationships, spirituality and life purpose. This is truly a life transforming practice!

Harmony.......2007-05-16
I've used this CD for journeying for almost a decade. This CD is my favorite drumming tool. The harmony of the drums is amazing. So many different timbers rise from them. Powerful stuff.
Need a drumming CD for shamanic journeying?.......2007-05-12
I have been using the Shamanic Journey Multiple Drumming CD for at least 5 years now. I use it when working with clients in shamanic sessions and for personal journeys as well. It has a clear sound and easy drum beat which helps me journey deeply when doing shamanic healing. I recommend this CD for beginners as well as experienced shamanic healers!
Good drumming for journeying.......2007-05-11
I enjoy the extra boost of the multiple drums on this cd. I used it for many years. It gets the job done without getting all wrapped up in 'bells and whistles' like some other companies do with their stuff.
Good CD for journeying.......2007-05-11
Good cd for journeying. I use it all the time. I don't want anything frilly or "beautiful." The point is to journey. This is my fav.
An Excellent Tool.......2006-11-30
This is an excellent tool for those working on Shamanic Journeying as part of their shamanic medicine practices. The drum beats put you into the theta brain wave place necessary to allow you to conduct your Shamanic Journeying. It is beautiful music.

Album Description
Take Your Body With You is a shamanic drumming journey CD. Shamanism is based on healing of self and others, mysticism, directing energy with intention, traveling into the worlds beyond the veils, invoking power, inviting our helping spirits into ordinary reality, understanding the transitions of life/death and using magic.
Journeying is the foundational tool for shamanic study and healing, and provides the passageway that has been used for centuries to obtain information from other dimensions, realms, and realities. Through the journeying process, you can connect with your power animals and spiritual teachers. Information, knowledge and wisdom becomes available to you, which you can utilize for solving problems, gaining clarity about life's circumstances, or simply to build your awareness and understanding of the different worlds beyond. Journeying is a perfect way to learn what needs to unfold in your life, and then actively integrate this information to help you maximize your happiness and wholeness.
Journeying is typically taught by lying down, covering your eyes and listening to a drumming CD. This is a great way to journey; however, many indigenous shamans took their bodies with them. Shamans journeyed while dancing and singing using their body as a vehicle to contact spirit. As you listen to this CD, experiment, move your body, slightly close your eyes, sing if you like, and see what happens.
Jan has included a "calling to the spirits" sequence at the beginning. This is done through whistling and songs that invoke spirits to assist you during your journey process.

Humbly Surprised at the Results.......2006-09-12
When I first listened to the finished product (TYBWY), I have to admit I was exceedingly skeptical about whether this would be a useful journeying tool for me. This response surprised me, given that I was one of the people who helped channel and create this piece of work in the studio (on the rattles).
Like many of us western journeyers, I was so engrained in the "typical" rapid drum beat we have been conventionally trained with that the unique earthy quality felt so unusual as a vehicle for journeying. Then, one of my colleagues and I (another collaborator on the CD) were doing some work together and decided to use TYBWY. I had one of the most extraordinary shamanic journeys that led to a whole different style of journeying for me.
This CD creates a powerful energetic field that draws the journeyer into a very organic, earthy, indigenous essence. Right from the very beginning, with Jan's ethereal calling in of the spirits, you know you have stepped into a very different realm of journeywork. It compels moving journeys, not the usual basic lay-down-on-the-floor journeys-- dancing swaying active journeys. For me, it propelled me into a realm where I had new access to benevolent earth and ancestor spirits that showed me things kinesthetically, allowing their wisdom and healing power to come in through the movement of the body, accompanied with the rhythms of spirit. A connection with an ancient, universal power, a visceral walking, dancing with the spirits is inspired by this CD. Fresh wisdom feels immediately accessible, in a way unlike any other I have experienced.
Aboriginal pulse, sound, and calls.......2006-09-12
I now exclusively use "Take Your Body with You" CD by Jan Engels-Smith for all my healing sessions. Even clients with no journey experience are able to have profound engagement with Spirit when this music is the foundation of a session. The aboriginal blend of pulse, sound, and calls opens doorways to other realms that beckon spiritual seekers of all abilities.
Ancient Voices.......2006-09-11
The first time I heard the CD was to journey. The rhythm of the drumming was different than other recordings I had used. The images I had were much more vivid and alive. Then I put the recording onto my iPod and I thought my ears were playing tricks. I heard chanting in the background, as if I was in an ancient circle surrounding a fire and the ancestors were in ceremony. Tears came to my eyes, not in sadness, but in comfort and joy. I asked Jan about it the next time I saw her and she said the participants had not made those sounds, that they were picked up in the recording studio. The ancestors had apparently made an appearance. I listen to the recording while I'm walking or hiking, while I'm driving, writing, creating, and even when I'm cleaning the house. It always takes me to places far beyond and at a much deeper level than my typical thoughts.
A very unique and wonderful shamanic drumming style........2006-08-23
I personally use the CD to enhance creative ability. I put it on when I am writing, driving, or sometimes just listening in the house. It stimulates creative thinking! The CD seems to open different portals that align with extraordinary reality! The rhythm gets the creative juices flowing. If I use the CD for classic journey info, meaning I ask a question and journey for an answer, I often sit up and start to write. The information comes easily. If I have it on in the house playing as background music I find it very relaxing. I like this CD very much! It feels good!
Interesting But Disappointing.......2006-04-06
Let me say first that the rattle work in this effort is excellent. Strong and steady, very competent. The drumming, however, comes across as amateurish at best. The various drums never seem to be quite in synch with each other and that creates a bit of stress for the listener who is left waiting in vain for the drummers to pick a rhythm they can all agree on.
Given that its stated purpose is to get people up and moving, it may work better in a group environment with a lot of room to move around. But for a more satisfying experience I would recommend people give "Shamanic Journey Drumming" by Spirit Passages/Evelyn Rysdyk a try before this one. Peace.
