		</p><p>The final track on my sound healing album, <em>Tribal Medicine</em>, is “Celebration Dance.” The album features different healing energies with each track, and this one is one of which I’ve been getting a lot of positive reviews. The intention behind <em>Tribal Medicine</em> was to offer listeners an opportunity to heal their hearts and souls through the rhythmic power of the drum, and this is definitely achieved with “Celebration Dance!”</p>
<div id="attachment_602" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-602" title="Celebration Dance" src="http://www.tobychristensen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/pic-tc-tribal-dance-1.jpg" alt="Celebration Dance" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Celebration Dance</p></div>
<p>“Celebration Dance” is an up-tempo, fun, shake-it-loose type of song. We all need to lose ourselves in music like this—not just every once in a while but often! “Celebration Dance” is a song I encourage you to play while giving thanks. Its rhythms complement nicely the gratitude we express when the ancestors and spirits respond to our requests and bring to us the things for which we’ve asked.</p>
<p>As you know, I am always encouraging people to be thankful! As we focus on being grateful for what we have, we invite more good things to come our way. “Celebration Dance” is a song of proclamation that our lives are full of good things.</p>
<p><div class="woo-sc-hr"></div><br />
Listen here to a sample of “Celebration Dance&#8221;</p>
<p><div style="font-size:14px; line-height:22px !important; margin:0 !important;"><span id="playpause_wrap_mp3j_0" class="wrap_inline_mp3j" style="font-weight:700;"><span class="buttons_mp3j" id="playpause_mp3j_0">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;<span class="group_wrap"><span class="bars_mp3j"><span class="loadB_mp3j" id="load_mp3j_0"></span><span class="posbarB_mp3j" id="posbar_mp3j_0"></span></span><span class="T_mp3j" id="T_mp3j_0">Celebration Dance</span><span class="indi_mp3j" id="indi_mp3j_0"></span></span></span></div><br />
<div class="woo-sc-hr"></div></p>
<p>Over the past few weeks I’ve talked about each track on <em>Tribal Medicine. </em>This CD features healing rhythms that are intended to restore listeners’ hearts and souls as the sensations of the healing drum infuses the body. Each of the five tracks engage different energies that create different healing experiences.</p>
<p>This is due to the album’s strong roots with tribal connections. Listening to <em>Tribal Medicine</em> is like partaking in an ancient indigenous ceremony where the wisdom of African, Native American, and Eastern shamanic healing traditions take over the listeners’ body and restore health and vitality through the beating of the drums!</p>
<p><em>Tribal Medicine</em> features me, Healing Drummer Toby Christensen, on djembe drum and percussion, and the talented Rebecca Holt on vocal toning. Skilled artist Carolina Woodrich shared her stunning original artwork for the album!</p>
<p>To purchase a copy of this healing rhythms CD, please <a href="http://www.healingdrummer.com/shop/">visit my shop</a>. I invite you to engage your body, mind, and soul with the powerful rhythms of <em>Tribal Medicine</em>. Enjoy!</p>

<p>On his recent US tour HealingDrummer Toby Christensen taught courses on Shamanism and Sound Healing. He continues his practice as a practitioner as well. Because of his dynamic private sessions Toby&#8217;s gift as a teacher is not always acknowledged. Here is what Dr. Johnson had to say</p>
<p><span><strong>Endorsement:<span> </span></strong></span><span><span> </span>Toby Christensen is so much more then a practitioner, and he is more than a brilliant “teacher”, in sharing his gifts – he introduces you to your own!<span> </span>I took my first workshop with Toby not knowing what to expect.<span> </span>After all, while I have known and appreciated him as a very talented drummer, I had no idea of his depth and clarity within Spiritual realms.<span> </span>What a joy to experience his insights, patience and practical application to the world of Spirit!<span> </span>I learned so much during this first class – techniques I use to this day -, <span> </span>that I look forward to and take his workshops every time he comes to town.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> Charlene Johnson, PhD</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>and others said&#8230; First of all &#8220;Thank you, Thank you, Thank you&#8221; from every fibre of my soul ~ for yesterday and everything else!  I seriously can&#8217;t express how blessed I feel&#8230; to have the opportunity to meet both of you and be involved in your lives (albeit a small part, with all the people you know and the things that you do) it&#8217;s amazing to be a part of it and I&#8217;m excited to learn from you!  You make it all so comfortable, safe and genuine&#8230; &#8220;THANK YOU!&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Master Tobias<br />
I know I&#8217;m a bit late to the party, but I just read your Newsletter &#8211; so pure and honest and inspiring, I just wanted to let you know what a great job I think you&#8217;re doing living the teachings, being a role model, not up on a pedestal, but truly being with people in the struggle and in the ascent. I find it rare the people that can do both without littering the place with their crap. Ok, that sounded bad, but you know what I mean&#8230; and you have struck the balance, My Friend. I bow to your mastery.<br />
Hope I get to see more of you in 2009.<br />
Love &amp; Light<br />

<p class="MsoNormal">And in Canada, this is what one person wrote after their session with Toby</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #330099; font-size: small;"><span>okay, that was very, very </span></span><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #660099; font-size: xx-large;"><span>WOW!</span></span></strong></p>
</div>
<p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #660099; font-size: small;"><span>thanks!</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>It is great to hear from so many people being touched deeply by the HealingDrum. As Toby brings his gift to the world in a bigger way we know that he is held in the blessings of those who have been touched by his work. I know he is grateful for these kind words and we at HealingDrummer and TobyChristensen.comare too! </span></p>
