| Oakland,
CA. - February 14, 2004 - Brain researchers have demonstrated
that human beings cannot function at their optimum or perform simple daily
task while in fear. Flight/fight adrenaline moves us into our most primitive
brain stem and furthest from the frontal cortex where higher-level thinking
takes place.
Millions of women and voiceless American children are caught in the abyss of fear in the darkest hour. Even before the terrorist attacks of September 11th our country was so permeated with fear. As a result of the attack eliminating fear has become a new prerequisite for living happily in today’s world. In his book “Mindful Drumming: Ancient Wisdom for Unleashing the Human Spirit and Building Community” ($12.95, Sankofa Publishing), Kokomon Clottey demonstrates that the use of rhythm is excellent for management of fear, emotional challenges and high-level stress. He points out that the application of the twin concepts of rhythm and sound is prescriptive to day to day functioning, intrapersonal and interpersonal communication skills. He has made indigenous wisdom readily available to us through mindful drumming. As a visiting professor and a frequent seminar leader, Clottey’s practical advice has already helped thousands of people as well as business leaders and mental health professionals. Mindful Drumming: Ancient Wisdom for Unleashing the Human Spirit and Building Community (ISBN 0-9719678-0-6), 179 pages, April 2004, is available in book stores or send $12.95 per book plus $4.00 shipping and handling for the first book, $1.00 s/h for each additional book, to Sankofa Publishing, P. O. Box 23503, Oakland, CA 94623. To order with credit card, call 510/ 652-5530. Download press kits at: http//www.ancestralhealing.com # # # |
