Drum Journey vs Earth Sleep

You've found Drum Journey, the first app for shamanic journeying. Shamanic journeying, as you probably already know, is a kind of insight meditation.  It’s a spiritual practice that combines visualization with acoustic accompaniment, usually fast drumming or rattling. Drum Journey works like a timer; dial in the journey duration, set your options, and tap Start.  Included in the app are several professionally-produced drum and rattle tracks, and you can also import your own from iTunes. Features: - flexible journey duration, from 5 minutes to an hour - choice of drumming styles (single, double, or with rattle) - adjustable tempo (slow, normal, and fast) - adjustable instrument volumes - high quality drumming tracks - works with AirPlay - Optimized graphics for iPhone Retina screens - light up the globe; share your location with other Drum Journey users For centuries, shamans have used journeying to gain insight and clarity. I was inspired to create this app while participating in the three year program of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. Note: This app does not teach shamanic journey practices. Visit the Mindful Bear website for links to shamanic educators, books, and practitioners.

EarthSleep brings you back to the feeling of sleeping in the wilderness. Every sound in EarthSleep is completely original, recorded on location in remote natural environments during real journeys through mountains, alpine lakes, winter landscapes, and wild places far from human noise. These are not sound effects or artificial loops—each recording captures a specific place, moment, and experience exactly as it was. EarthSleep was created out of a simple longing: we live in the city, but often long for sleeping in our tent deep in the wilderness. The stillness. The distance from everything human. The way nature naturally slows your breathing and quiets your mind. When you can’t be out there, EarthSleep is designed to take you back. The sounds are intentionally calm, continuous, and minimally processed, and are carefully edited to loop seamlessly, so there are no breaks, jumps, or moments that pull you out of rest. This allows your nervous system to settle without effort. There’s no music, no voices, and no narration—just real water, wind, and earth recorded as they were found. Each sound includes a short journey description, sharing where it was recorded and the experience surrounding that moment, grounding the listener in a real place rather than an abstract soundscape. Whether it’s water flowing beneath a high mountain trail, a frozen lake settling into evening, or the deep, unseen movement of water through rock, EarthSleep offers a way to rest as if you were outdoors—free from distraction and human influence.
