Allopathic
(modern Western) medicine
currently has the following solutions for healing, cut out all or
part of the offending
organ (surgery), inject
poisons into the body or prescribe medications that the person
will often take for the rest of
their life. Energy healing clears the
blocks so the body can heal itself, without drugs or cutting.
There are
many types of energy. All energy moves in waves. We often
refer to the frequency of these
waves as vibrations. As such, energy
healing is often referred to as vibrational medicine. Among the types
of energy are light and sound.
When part
of the body is healthy, it creates
a natural resonant frequency
that harmonious with the rest of the
body. So when part of the body is disease,
sound therapy reintroduces the
correct harmonic pattern into that
part of the body that is affected. Through the principle of
resonance, healthful vibrations change disharmonious
frequencies back to normal.
When
energy healing is done with sounds, we project the proper resonant
frequency back into the affected area. The "offending organ"
is vibrating
out of tune. The sound treatment helps brings it back into harmony.
For
healing to take place, we need the
frequency and the intention of
the person working the sound. Working
the frequency alone is not
enough; one needs to project intention into the healing. Intention is
the energy behind the sound being created. Creating harmonics,
coupled with intention, elevates us to
therapeutic and meditative states. It enhances relaxation, helps
brings health
and balance.
To use an
allopathic comparison, the
sound is like medication. The intention is like the hypodermic
needle. The medication thrown at the person will not have any effect,
except
getting them wet. The needle delivers
the medication to the proper spot. The intention directs the sound to
the place it is needed. Everything
in the universe vibrates.
The
frequency alters the part of the body
that is vibrating out of harmony
or is dis-eased. If we correct the
resonant frequency, that part should return to normal frequency and
healing should occur.
We've
witnessed many healings using tuning forks and singing bowls. After
one of our classes a student
sent us a message. She had an
infection in one breast that had defied
the doctors for quite a while. The
doctors identified that it was an infection; however, they were
unable to identify the source or prescribe an effective cure. Just a
week after the class, by using only the sound therapy with the tuning
forks, the infection was gone.
The
aborigines used the didgeridoo for
healing. The ill person would lie on the ground and the shaman would
blow the didgeridoo over the affected part of the body to facilitate
healing. In many traditions, harmonies are viewed as sacred
sounds. Native Americans chanted vowel sounds. A number of
cultures chanted mantras.
The monks
in Tibet developed the singing bowl, the tingsha, gongs, chimes
and many other devices for generating
sounds. Some of these, most
notably the singing bowls, are used
to maintain a specific sound for
an extended period of time.
They will
sit with a singing bowl and start it vibrating, this is a technique
known as singing the bowl. They will keep this sound going the while
they meditate, sometime for
hours at a sitting. The sound focuses
the mind and blocks outside distractions. It also bathes them in a
healing sound.
Like so
many things, it is easier to demonstrate
the effects of sound in the
negative. One of the simplest of
all demonstrations is the blackboard. We have all felt the
discordance
that comes from scratching fingernails on a black board. The more one
is into music the worse the
reaction to a discordant sound, especially
an unexpected one.
Like a
discordant sound, an organ of the body can get out of tone. It is not
limited to the organs of the body. There is a natural vibration,
rhythm or tone, to mental activities, emotions, relationships, etc.
It is
part of our very language. Two people
who have a good relationship
are said to have a harmonious relationship. A meeting that goes
astray is filled with discord.
There are
many tools that can be used to restore tone. Crystal bowls have a
beautiful sound and work very
well. They are, however, large and
made of crystal. This makes them awkward to transport and they can be
broken. By contrast, singing bowls are smaller and much more durable.
Tuning forks are
even smaller and more durable. They also have much more precise
sound,
they often tone to within a tenth or a hundredth of a cycle per
second,
measure of frequency.
Pianos get
out of tune. In order to have music sound the same when played on two
different pianos a device was needed that would stay in
tune and would be portable. This is why the tuning fork was created.
Every piano tuner would have a set and
two piano tuners in two separate places could tune pianos and have
them sound almost the same.
For the
same reason doctors have used the tuning fork to assess hearing,
long before digital sound generators
were possible. An assessment
of hearing with different frequencies
each time would be ineffective. They found the use of
tuning forks to be an effective, reproducible
assessment tool.
The power
of sound is not limited to us. It works with animals and even at the
molecular level. In the book
The Messages from Water, Masaru
Emoto documents the power of sound and intention. He has photographs
of frozen water molecules.
Good sounds and intentions
have a beautiful geometric shape while bad ones show up without
a pattern. This is well documented
and well accepted proof of
the power of resonant sound and intention.
