Drumming

The purpose of Drumming is to create a gentle vibration deep within the chest without causing any surface discomfort. Your relaxed drumming hand will travel from your shoulder toward your breastbone. Your drumming path is just below your collarbone. Drumming often produces a few small natural cleansing coughs.

1. Make a loose, relaxed, soft fist with your right hand. Your arms and shoulders remain relaxed, your spine erect and your right bent elbow against your ribs.
2. The palm-side of your right fist will tap just below your left collarbone, moving from left shoulder to mid-line.
3. Stop every inch and tap gently at least six times. Repeat this path several times from left shoulder to breastbone. Tap hard enough to hear the sound in your chest.
4. Then, begin under your right collarbone with your left hand in the same manner. It is important to keep your curled fingers and your wrists relaxed. Repeat until you feel the circulation has increased in your upper chest.

Breathe through your nose as you drum and cover your mouth when you cough.

Breathe well. Breathe beautifully.
