Magnificent Mind Rhythm Kriya - 🌶️🌶️ 🌶️
The Magnificent Mind Rhythm Kriya for Cognitive and Emotional Wellbeing focuses on using hand drumming as a tool to receive the many benefits of hemispheric synchronization (or strengthening the connections between the left and right hemispheres of our brain). In this section you’ll find the Rhythm Zone 3 Learning and Practice Meditations. We share some research on the health benefits of Mindful Hand Drumming and Hemispheric Synchronization, as well as offering dozens of lessons and rhythm meditations on various rhythmic patterns and styles. Also included in the over 100 videos in the Kriya are Call Response and Brain Gym Movement practices to balance the hemispheres and sharpen the mind.
