Background
A description of the experience
“Mongolian and Siberian drums are generally large in diameter and have a deep resonating sound that will vibrate through the shaman's body. The drum is frequently held near the heart and the head”.
from Siberian and Mongolian shamans.
“Mongolia's oldest shaman is 102, her name is Soyun, they say that when Soyun performs her full shamanic ritual, those long nights, when she pounds the drum until the trance begins and the 'ongots' or spirits enter her body, they say then she leaps and dances like a child”.
from Siberian and Mongolian shamans.
