Sound Healing has been around for thousands of years and is one of the most ancient and natural forms of healing.

Everything in the Universe vibrates and holds it's own frequencies. When those resonant frequencies are misaligned we feel the dis~harmony.; the dis~ease or dis~comfort. This may present as feeling low in mood, anxious or suffering depression. Left unaddressed this can lead into manifestations of more serious conditions such as fibromyalgia, M.E, chronic fatigue syndrome....just to name a few.

Using sound and frequency can help support the body to do what it does best ~ self heal, by aligning or realigning on a cellular structural level.

The Sound speed/frequency vibrate the molecules putting matter into form within our bodies. Every atom, cell, the water we carry within those cells, our organs, our entire whole body will have it's own resonance and frequency.

Using sound and vibration combined with good intention allows a shift on a cellular level. Transmitted through the body causes a sympathetic resonant and rebalancing effect. Like a stone in pond, it sends ripples of sound waves throughout your very being. Encouraging a harmonious, energized healing experience.

Have you ever walked into a room and felt you could "cut the atmosphere with a knife?" or gone to a party and felt that "high vibe". The people in both of those rooms are oscillating on polar opposite frequencies. One very low, the other high. Once we realise that we can learn to control our frequency we can then start to take responsiblilty of what we expose our energies to.

Healing Frequencies: Understanding the Science Behind Sound Therapy Article.....

Scientific Background

Scientifically, sound is a vibrational frequency that travels through the air as waves. The human body may respond to these waves at specific frequencies, like 528 Hz, known as the "Love frequency." Studies have investigated the effects of exposing living cells or water to these frequencies, noting various outcomes like altered growth rates or pattern changes.

Different Types of Frequencies

The world of healing frequencies encompasses a broad spectrum of specific vibrational tones, each with purported benefits:

Solfeggio Frequencies: A series of tones that are part of an ancient musical scale, different from the modern scale. They include:

396 Hz: for liberating guilt and fear

417 Hz: for facilitating change and undoing situations

528 Hz: for transformation and miracles (DNA repair)

639 Hz: for connecting and relationships

741 Hz: for awakening intuition

852 Hz: for returning to spiritual order

963 Hz: for awakening perfect state

Natural Frequency: Often referred to as the frequency of the Earth or Schumann Resonance, 7.83 Hz is considered a grounding frequency that aligns with our planet's natural heartbeat.

432 Hz vs 440 Hz: There's debate around tuning instruments to 432 Hz, which is thought to be harmonious with the universe, versus the standard 440 Hz. Proponents of 432 Hz argue it provides greater musical quality and is more benevolent for the listener.

852 Hz and 963 Hz: These frequencies are believed to enhance spiritual experiences and enlightenment, connecting listeners with the spiritual and divine sources.

Each frequency aims to influence the body and mind in different ways, and while anecdotal evidence abounds, ongoing scientific research strives to better understand the physiological effects of these specific frequencies.

Dr. Emoto’s Experiments:

In the realm of holistic health and wellness, the connection between our thoughts and physical well-being has long been a topic of fascination. Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese researcher and author, delved into this intriguing relationship through groundbreaking experiments that shed light on the profound impact our thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and intentions can have on water molecules.

Dr. Masaru Emoto conducted a series of experiments exploring the effects of human consciousness on water. His most well-known experiments involved exposing water to various words, thoughts, and emotions and then observing the resulting changes in the water’s molecular structure. One of the most striking findings was that positive intentions, such as words of “love and gratitude,” had a transformative effect on water crystals.

Transformation of Water Crystals:

In Dr. Emoto’s experiments, water exposed to positive affirmations and emotions formed intricate, symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing crystals. These crystals were not only clear but also displayed a remarkable increase in size compared to those formed when water was exposed to negative influences.

For instance, when water was subjected to words like “love” and “gratitude,” the resulting crystals were not only visually stunning but also seemed to reflect a harmonious and balanced structure. This led Dr. Emoto to propose that water has a unique ability to “remember” the energetic imprints of thoughts and emotions.

Implications for Health:

The implications of Dr. Emoto’s experiments extend beyond the laboratory, suggesting a profound interconnection between our mental and physical well-being. If our thoughts and emotions can influence the molecular structure of water, and considering that the human body is composed largely of water, it raises the question of whether our mental states can similarly impact our own cellular health.

While some critics argue that the methodologies used in Dr. Emoto’s experiments are not without controversy, and the scientific community has not universally accepted his findings, the ideas he presented have sparked interest in the field of mind-body medicine.

Mind-Body Connection:

The mind-body connection has gained recognition in various fields, including psychology, medicine, and alternative therapies. Practices like meditation, mindfulness, and positive visualization are increasingly embraced as ways to enhance mental and physical well-being. Dr. Emoto’s work adds an intriguing layer to this understanding, suggesting that our thoughts and emotions may not only affect our personal health but could also extend to the environment around us.

Conclusion:

Dr. Masaru Emoto’s experiments on water molecules have left an indelible mark on the exploration of the mind-body connection. While the scientific community continues to scrutinize and debate the validity of his findings, his work has sparked a broader conversation about the power of consciousness and its potential impact on health. Whether or not one fully embraces the idea that our thoughts can influence water molecules, there is a growing recognition that cultivating positive thoughts and emotions can contribute to a more balanced and harmonious life. As we continue to explore the intricate relationship between mind and body, Dr. Emoto’s pioneering research remains a fascinating chapter in the ongoing quest for holistic well-being.

Brain World: How do you define trauma

Bessel van der Kolk: Trauma is an experience that basically leaves people stuck in a state of helplessness and terror. Trauma starts with the feeling of “Oh my god, my life is over.” Mind and brain become overwhelmed, resulting in a change over how you perceive danger, and what you consider relevant and irrelevant to your survival.

BW: What causes trauma?

BvdK: Horrifying experiences. Being beaten, being humiliated in front of other people, being bullied, being molested. Essentially, it’s a situation characterized by the inability to take the actions necessary to protect yourself. Trauma is about being in a state where you feel that nothing you do can stop what’s happening to you.

BW: Scientifically, what’s happening in the brain?

BvdK: Many different things. When something life-threatening happens to you, you secrete stress hormones that are supposed to mobilize you for fighting back. If you are held down and prevented from restoring your safety and control, these stress hormones may begin to work against you and disrupt the workings of your mind, instead of activating your muscles to move.

Basically our stress hormones are meant to help us move, or fight back, and get out of the situation. If they keep being secreted, they keep you in a state of hyperarousal or put you in a state of helpless collapse. When this happens over time, the filtering system of the brain is changed so you become hypersensitive to certain sounds. You have difficulty filtering irrelevant information. Gradually, you start feeling threat everywhere. Instead of being focused on what is going on right now, your mind stays on the alert for threat, while you basically feel helpless to do anything about it.

The amygdala (the “smoke detector” of the brain) tends to continually fire, telling you “You’re in danger,” and your anterior cingulate, which is supposed to filter out irrelevant information, doesn’t function very well, so things that other people see as simply unpleasant or irritating, are perceived as a threat to your very existence.

The medial prefrontal cortex (the watchtower of your mind, meant to help you to calmly survey what is going on and provide you with a feeling of “I know what I’m doing”) tends to get deactivated as well, so you get trapped in your reactions without having much control over them.

BW: So can we assume that the root of the problem is information processing?

BvdK: Yes, I think one can say that.

BW: How does trauma affect memory and how does that affect the learning process?

BvdK: Because people focus on the threat, it may become very difficult to take in new information. Indeed, your brain is not very available to learn new things. In fact, it may be that new information doesn’t mean much to the traumatized person. If it is not threatening, it’s not meaningful. So the world appears bland and meaningless, even though all kinds of nice things may be happening. Traumatized people tend to reiterate the same feelings and thoughts over and over again. That is why such an important part of treatment is to calm the brain down enough to focus, so new information can come in, allowing you to actually have new experiences that mean something to you.

BW: The Western world tends to separate mind and body. Can we break this preconception from a scientific standpoint?

BvdK: The core issue with trauma is that people feel unsafe in their bodies. Your body keeps reacting right now as if you’re still in danger, right now. The degree to which your body keeps reacting that way defines the depth of your trauma. So, trauma is expressed as sensations of heartbreak, gut wrench, of being irritable, being on edge, or just being numbed out.

So trauma is really a bodily state of feeling deeply uncomfortable, hyperaroused, or not feeling anything at all. There are numerous ways to approach trauma with body-based interventions. For example, we just finished a study of yoga for PTSD, where we found it worked more effectively than any medication. That doesn’t mean yoga cures PTSD, but it helps people inhabit their bodies and feel like they’re masters of their own ship again.

It also teaches people that you can actually do things to change these horrible internalizations of panic, of feelings of helplessness. And I won’t say that yoga is the end all or be all — nobody has ever studied whether Tai Chi or tango dancing would do the same thing. My suspicion is that if people studied these things, there would be interesting and productive results.

BW: How exactly does “the body keep the score”?

BvdK: The body keeps the score in every possible way. In terms of sensations of dread, collapse, and agitation, the body keeps the score by altering immune functions — after you are traumatized, you are more prone to diseases. Trauma speeds up the aging process. It makes you vulnerable to a whole range of physical illnesses, and leaves people feeling unsafe, with a loss of feelings of enjoyment, and the sense of being fully alive.
