Copied and pasted from something I found. I think I'm on board with it.
Drumming is good for your immune system -- it is a fact that sound waves have a profound effect on the cells of our bodies. Ultrasound is used for healing scar tissue and reducing inflammation. Classical music is played for babies to help brain and nerve development. Our immune systems will produce more disease fighting cells when exposed to a 3/4-waltz beat. When it comes to drumming, you can create many different beats and realize an equal number of effects. One basic drum technique is to mimic a heartbeat and get lost in the simplicity of it. It can be that easy.
Drumming is good for your mental health -- ever want to pound on something and scream? Ever feel anxious or shaky from the adrenaline in your system? Have you ever experienced stress? If you answered yes to one or more of the above, then may I suggest that you come to a drumming circle where you can pound along with other people just like yourself! The release is phenomenal! It's as if you were packing up your tension and troubles and sending them off with the sound waves. Creating music with drums is an active form of meditation. Often in the drum state-of-mind questions are answered, problems are solved, and clarity is achieved because the thinking (left) brain is put on hold and we allow our intuitive (right) brain to rule for a little while.
Drumming is good for your spirit -- expressing yourself in a free-form, non-judgmental, improvisational environment like a drum circle can allow you to tap into a very strong spiritual connections. It's primitive. It's basic. It's part of us.
This resonates with me. It even supports the advice, feel, don't think.
Just for balance, and to place it in context, this was taken from an ad for a couple that performs "rhythm healing", so it is a ploy of sorts, and the guys wife is named Moonbeam. Now what do you think?
