sound healing

Sound has an under valued and incredibly important impact on our well-being.
We are very basically made up of miniscule pieces of vibrating sub-atomic
particles. Expose those particles to sound and their vibrational rate changes.
Expose us to sound and our whole being responds and shifts on a cellular level.

Right now the sound of your computer (not to mention all the low frequency
sound waves vibrating you subliminally) is actually shape-changing your cells
and you can . Pretty scary. But don't run screaming from your computer yet. You
have the ability to re-tune yourself to a healthier feeling vibration. Turn on some
music that grabs you, get really into and focused on the music, get up and dance
around or sing to really get it into your body. Feel good?

Any time we're feeling negative energy; tuning into the right music or, much more
powerfully, voicing through song or instruments has the ability to bring us
through the negativity into a better state of vibration. This is sound healing at it's
most basic and accessible form.

Delving a little deeper into the art of sound healing, we actually have the ability to
re-tune our old mind-sets, vibrate our way through disease and depression, get
in touch with "lost" parts of our selves, and literally expand our minds. Some of
this work requires the help of the more talented "sound healers", but much can
be accomplished with the right tools and knowledge. To be able to "tune"
ourselves is one of our greatest gifts.

Beat Frequencies:

Beat frequencies are one of the tools available in sound healing, meditation, or
just feeling good.
Beat frequencies happen when you have two notes tuned slightly apart played
simultaneously. You hear the two notes plus feel a third which is tuned to the
difference between the frequencies: the beat frequency. The pitch of the beat
frequency is far lower than we can consciously hear, but you can hear a kind of
wavering "wa,wa,wa". This frequency can be tuned to match the frequencies of
our brain in various states of consciousness. Through entrainment (the "craving"
of similar frequencies to beat as one), we can actually lead our brain into
different states of consciousness.
This is basically how "mind machines" and subliminal tapes work: By setting up a
series of beat frequencies to bring your mind to a receptive state of conscience.
As I don't necessarily trust giving over my brain to a tape or machine, I use the
same principals in user-controlled musical instruments. I usually tune the beat
frequency to help lead one into a Theta mind state. Theta is the most intuitive
state of mind between asleep and awake. It's the only time the two halves of the
brain synchronize, and your mind is literally expanded. It's where most forms of
meditation intend to take you.

In the inevitable revealing reality of this world it could not go unsaid that the
illusion is complete. The constant bombardment of cause and effect continuously
keeps us amused so as to keep us from seeing the illusion until we discover the
secret within ourselves. The secret of seeing in a way that reaches far beyond
our superficial eyesight ruled by need, loneliness and ignorance.

Sometimes when listening to music or nature the crack between this world and
the next widens enough to allow our senses to pick up on realities we have no
reference to or for in our “body experience”. Music has the ability to open our
minds to other possibility’s if we allow ourselves to sample ancient methods of
seeing through soundscapes of an ancient source. Instruments and styles of an
older walk.

When one hears the call to listen, weather it be a hawk or wind through tree’s it is
a choice to experience and learn from nature. Some naturally choose to listen
while others choose to ignore.

Listen, still the mind. Heart that? What does your heart say about the sounds
your hearing? Calming? Disturbing? Do you hear this often? Do you make a
conscious effort to hear this sound or is it a sound you just put up with? Ask your
self why you put up with it or why you need it in your life? Listen to the first
answer you hear. It is important to you and only you.
