About Speaker

Michael has been practicing Usui Reiki since 1989, Karuna Reiki since 1999, and Holy Fire Reiki since February of 2014, and has found them to be powerful tools for healing and spiritual growth. Michael is a retreat facilitator, practitioner of the healing arts, and a middle eastern drummer.

Michael developed special drum-making workshops for healers, and created the Reiki Drumming shamanic healing technique.

"Drumming and Reiki assist me in attuning to my higher self, listening to my Divine guidance, and following my heart.

Everything in your world is a drum, an instrument that emits a sound with each stroke of your hands. Imagine yourself as a young child discovering the world. Remember your enthusiasm as you touch and hear each responding sound.

Remember your joy as you interact with the world around you. Hear the song, conducted by your heart, rise from the silence.

Remember the child laughing and know this is you. Celebrate your presence with sound. Feel your heart beat with each stroke of the drum.

Know you have rhythm . . . your very existence is a rhythm. Awaken to your presence and hear the song of everything around you." Michael A. Baird
