SOUND BITES

According to author and lecturer Dr. Deepak Chopra, Ayurveda teaches that:

"The body is held together by sound, and the presence of disease indicates that some sounds are out of tune… primordial sound is the mysterious link that holds the universe together in a web that is the quantum field."

Dr. Hans Jenny, a Swiss scientist who studied the effects of sound upon organic matter, called the work cymatics, or the study of waveform phenomena. Using various organic substances vibrated at different frequencies, he found repeatable patterns that represented cellular growth, mandalas, and microscopic life forms. From his work it has been proposed that sound creates form and changing frequencies affect form at a cellular level. Now, using laser technology, physicists are also finding that harmonic intervals produce perfect geometric shapes, reinforcing the idea that vibration underlies all form.

Dr. Andrew Weil, author, lecturer and founder of the Program in Integrative Medicine in Tucson, Arizona, states:

"The new science of psychacoustics -- the study of the effect of music and sound on the human nervous system -- shows that [frequency] can relieve pain, help stroke patients, and benefit other conditions."

Dr. Herbert Benson, M.D., of the Mind/Body Medical Institute at Boston's Deaconess Medical Center, having studied the effects of chanting mantras on human physiology, found that repeating a single syllable or word produced measurable changes in energy consumption, respiration rate, heartbeat, metabolic rate and pulse, as well as an increase in alpha brain waves.

Open Wide, Say Aaahhh Sound Medicine for the Twenty-first Century by Tryshe Dhevney It can’t be that simple. You can’t just open your mouth, make a sound and change your life! Or can you? Breaking the Sound Barrier Early in my childhood I was taught to muzzle my voice, careful to say the right thing. Nothing spelled doom so much as a look from a disapproving adult. Don’t speak, don’t move, don’t feel and if you know what’s good for you, don’t tell the truth. These were the tenets of my time and my childhood as typical as they come. Eventually it became easier, if not safer to do what was expected—BEHAVE! That is to say, suppress my vibrant, curious, messy human nature. I wasn’t alone. Women of my generation especially, though not exclusively, live with a legacy of silence. Many of us traded being authentic for being good. We cultivated the art of choking back our words and speaking nice. Sadly, any experience of an authentic Self faded into a distant cellular memory. As adults we coped—with trauma, negative emotion, multitasking, suffocating fear, stress, loss of passion and purpose. We accepted the unacceptable while our inner people-pleaser determined the course of our lives. I don’t know about you, dear reader, but in my life this was a recipe for disaster. Studies show when we silence ourselves or repress our feelings there is potential for chronic, even serious health problems. This unconscious unexpressed anger can become so all-consuming that it can literally kill us. Most attempts at feeling better or “getting things under control” take time, money and/or special gear. It would not occur to most of us to simply open the mouth and make sound. Imagine the remedy as simple as saying “aaahh!” Sounds good, but... We all know that listening to a babbling brook or a favorite piece of music can change our moods. What most don’t realize is that the sound of our own voice can provide an even more penetrating and prolonged shift in the internal vibrations of the body, mind and spirit. Recent medical research shows that creating sustained primordial sounds can shift brain states, create health and transform consciousness with little or no effort. Dr. Andrew Weil, author, lecturer and founder of the Program in Integrative Medicine in Tucson, Arizona, states, “The new science of psychacoustics – the study of the effect of music and sound on the human nervous system – shows that [frequency] can relieve pain, help stroke patients, and benefit other conditions.” In recent years, noted French composer and bioenergeticist, Fabien Maman has been exploring and documenting the specific influence of sound on the cells of the body. He conducted experiments with two breast cancer patients who toned for three and one-half hours a day for a month. In one case, the tumor vanished. The second woman had surgery to remove the tumor and it was discovered that the tumor was “reduced and completely dry.” In his book, The Role of Music in the Twenty-first Century, Maman writes, “This finding indicates that the vibration of sound plays a determinant role in the transformation of cellular structure, acting directly at the most subtle level of the human organism. . .The diseased cell died because it was not able to accommodate its structure and synchronize with the accumulation of sound.” Toning—making a sustained sound, usually a vowel tone—can change the entire molecular and cellular make-up of the body. Moaning and groaning are also forms of toning. So whether you make a specifically pitched tone or just having a good groan, sound heals! Let it out! There is a natural sound attached to every feeling—both physical and emotional. Yet it seems we've spent many years silencing that natural urge to make sound. We just have to let go and let it out. It’s our nature. Have you noticed that sound seems natural and spontaneous when we “ooo” and “aahh” over a sensational crème brûlée or experience the sweet rhapsody of a cooing baby? Not only is sound connecting us more deeply to the moment, it’s also massaging the muscles and tuning up the body. Don’t you feel better after a good cry or deep laugh, or find relief once you get things off your chest? Previously stuck energy begins moving with a simple thought—a decision to let go and let it out. The brain is responding—balancing the nervous system, strengthening the immune system and creating a visceral sense that all is well. That visceral sensation is the nervous system responding to sound and restoring resonance throughout the body/mind and spirit. The body remembers how to do this. Many vocal sounds you make are spontaneous and unconscious. However, there are other sounds when made with conscious intent that impact the neural pathways in the brain and instantly change your emotional and physical balance. Research shows that once sound is introduced there is a notable increase in the amount of Alpha waves moving through the brain. You feel calm, less anxious and able to access your extraordinary natural wisdom and capabilities. Whether it’s peak athletic performance you’re after, increased creativity or simply just feeling good, one tone can make the difference. The evidence is in your experience. You feel better. Some of the most basic daily tasks take on new vitality when you make sound. Let’s say you lift something heavy. If you hold your breath the burden seems heavier and you may rip or even rupture something inside, some organ you’ll want to keep for a while. If you release sound during the lift, as body builders do, a strength surges through your muscles, focusing your attention and making the lift easier and less damaging to the body. Seven Seconds to Sound Health Just spending minutes a day consciously making sound can shift the dense frequencies of stress or disharmony and lift your spirits. But why take my word for it? Give it a try! Get comfortable, relax your tongue and the muscles in your neck and face, open wide, and in a mid-range pitch that feels comfortable for you, begin to tone, aaaaahhhhh. Stay with this tone for a minute or so and then stop and listen to your body. Don’t you feel better—a little more peaceful, more relaxed, less stressed out? Just seconds of toning will energize the breath, oxygenate the entire body, relax the muscles and stimulate the flow of energy through your body. As you hold these tones you accelerate the release of any resistance, emotional and physical, and create an experience of being in the flow. What have you got to lose except maybe a little suffocating fear or the stress of a vein-popping day? Not only will you feel better, the world around you will reflect your good feeling as well. Play with your voice every day. You can tone while in your car, puttering in your garden (plants love taking a big drink of your voice), while putting on your makeup (a sonic facial), playing with your pet, and working out—even yawning. Experience the power of your own voice as you access a deeper resonance and calming power within. Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way and Vein of Gold, sums it up beautifully: “The human voice and our conscious use of it as an instrument can penetrate and heal even the deepest shadows of our human condition.” You’ve come this far, why not play with all the vowel tones? Sit comfortably. Imagine a little cord attached to the center of your chest bone gently lifting and extending your chest and spine upward and relax your belly muscles. With that lift, notice how effortless it is to breathe into your belly and lower back. Relax your jaw and tongue and let your mouth fall open (the width of two fingers). Ease into the vocals by simply letting out a loud sigh, at the end of the sigh push the rest of the breath out of the belly. Repeat a couple times. Slowly give voice to the vowel tones ‘aa’ (as in play), ee, ah, oh and ooo (as in smoothe) sliding the tones higher then lower. Sustain each tone to the end of each out breath. According to noted author and lecturer Dr. Deepak Chopra, “The body is held together by sound, and the presence of disease indicates that some sounds are out of tune…primordial sound is the mysterious link that holds the universe together in a web that is the quantum field.”

These slides are the work of Japanese researcher Mr. Masaru Emoto, from his book "Messages from Water." Mr. Emoto's work provides factual evidence that human vibrational energy, thoughts, words, ideas and sound affect the molecular structure of water. In my book Healing Sounds, I first presented the formula "FREQUENCY + INTENT = HEALING". Mr. Emoto's research truly demonstrates the reality of this formula. Remember that water comprises over 70% of a mature human body and covers the same amount on our planet. Water is the very source of all life. The fact that the molecular structure of the water can be affected by our consciousness, our intent and our sounds is extremely important and may have great implications for future of personal and the planetary harmony and healing. Mr. Emoto has been visually documenting these molecular changes in water by means of his photographic techniques. He freezes droplets of water than then examines them under a dark field microscope that has photographic capabilities. His work clearly demonstrates the diversity of the molecular structure of water and the effect of the environment upon the structure of the water.

Slide #1: This slide show the beautifully formed geometric designs of Sanbu-ichi Yusui Spring water.	Slide #2: This is contaminated water from the Yodo River in Japan.

As you can see, pure water creates lovely, hexagonal geometric forms. Polluted water looks like mud.
Mr. Emoto decided to see what effects music had upon the structure of water. He placed distilled water between two speakers for several hours while playing music and then photographed the crystals that formed after the water was frozen. The results of the effects of these two very different types of music speak for themselves.

Slide #3: This is the effect of Bach's “Air for the G String”	Slide #4: This is the effects of Heavy Metal Music

Mr. Emoto decided to see how thoughts and words affected the formation of untreated, distilled water crystals by typing words onto paper and then taping them on glass bottles overnight.

Slide #5: These are effects of the words “Love and Appreciation”	Slide #6: These are the effects of “You make me sick. I will kill you!”

These last pictures are perhaps most impressive. They indicate the great potential of sound coupled with intention to create great shifts and changes for this planet—particularly with regard to assisting pollution.

Slide #7: This is water from the Fujiwara Dam, after Buddhist monks had offered a prayer over it. Through the monks chanting they were able to purify the water. Prayer—sound coupled with intention seems to have the ability of restoring water to its natural, harmonious geometric symmetry.	Slide #8: This is very polluted and toxic water from the Fujiwara Dam in Japan.

The photographs we have just seen show proof that not only does sound have the ability of effecting and changing physical structure, but that, with regard to the molecular structure of water, our intent with our sounds is extremely important. This may have great implications for the future of both personal and planetary harmony and healing.
