What is sound?
Sound Healing works on the principle that everything in the Universe is energy in vibration.
Everything that moves vibrates, from the smallest molecule to the universe itself. As long as it is vibrating, it is making some kind of sound. We may not perceive the sound, as it may be below or above the threshold of our hearing. The human ear can hear sound vibrations between 20 and 20,000 cycles per second.
Many cultures and religions revere sound so deeply as to believe it called the universe into being. For the Hindus, all was dark and quiet in the universe, until the first movement in the universe created the sound “AUM”. It is the mother tone, containing the frequencies of all other sounds.
Scientific studies show that sound can produce changes in the autonomic, immune, endocrine and neuropeptide systems. Every atom, molecule, cell, gland, and organ of the human body absorbs and emits sound. The entire body, as well as our brain waves in a relaxed state, vibrates at a fundamental frequency of about 8 cycles per second, literally entraining and attuning us to the basic electromagnetic field of the earth itself!
The late Dr. Hans Jenny, a Swiss scientist, rendered vibrations into physical forms, using sand, iron filings, and other materials, creating a multitude of kaleidoscopic images. This study of patterns and shapes is called Cymatics.
Many modern scientists and doctors are translating this work into medical practice. Mitchell Gaynor, M.D. director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at the Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center, and author of the new book, Sounds of Healing, uses crystal bowls and Tibetan bowls in his practice with cancer patients. He chronicles a thorough study of sound healing and a holistic approach to mind-body healing.
How does Sound Healing work?
The benefits of Sound Healing are due to the scientific phenomena known as entrainment. Two pendulums in close contact will eventually synchronize and resonate at the same frequency. The vibrations of the sounds we hear penetrate through our ears, skin and bones, our physical body acts as a resonator.
We respond to the vibrational patterns around us. If these vibrations are discordant we react by feeling unpleasant, if the sounds around us are harmonious high vibration sounds, we are soothed. Sound Healing is simply the use of high vibration sound waves to encourage cellular reorganization and optimal physical health. Our fluid-filled cells vibrate continuously at their own unique resonant frequency. We live in a vibrational universe and we are vibrational beings.
Since the human body is over seventy percent water and since sound travels five times more efficiently through water than through air, sound frequency stimulation directly into the body is a highly efficient means for total body stimulation, especially at the cellular level. Direct stimulation of living cellular tissue using sound frequency vibration has shown marked cellular metabolism and therefore a possible mobilization of a cellular healing response
~ Jeffrey Thompson, Director of the Center for Neuroacoustic Research at The California Institute for Human Science.
Sound waves also vibrate through the air at a certain frequency and can be transmitted through the fluids of our body at an even faster rate. Sound Healing instruments assist in healing the nervous system by bringing it into harmony and balance. Sound is like nutrition for the nervous system. The results are waves of peace, heightened awareness, and relaxation of the mind and body.
How do the vibrations of singing bowls help in the healing process?
It can be said that illness is a manifestation of dis-harmony within the body—an imbalance in the cells or a given organ and that healing can be achieved by restoring the normal vibratory frequencies of the diseased, out-of-harmony parts of the body. Since all matter is energy vibrating at different rates, by altering the rate of vibration we can change the structure of matter. Sound from the bowls entrain the brain to move into the deeper Alpha and Theta brain wave frequencies that induce deep meditative and peaceful states. When placed directly on the body the sound vibrations are transmitted into our blood, organs, tissues, and cellular memory through the 60 per cent water in our system.
What do Quartz Crystal singing bowls do?
Quartz produces pure tones. The cells of the human body have a natural geometrical relationship to the structure of quartz crystals. Being made up of crystalline structures, including our DNA, blood, bones and the crystal-colloidal liquid of the brain, we align with the crystal inherent structure. With crystal sound affecting the body and in particular, the brain, the resonance relays an order that allows consciousness to travel into altered states of awareness.
What makes Crystal Alchemy Bowls so special?
Our entire human body down to our very DNA is crystalline in structure, causing it to respond and resonate with the extraordinary frequencies associated with quartz crystal.
The specific harmonic energy that emanates from crystal singing bowls is determined not only by the bowl size and shape, but the combining of pure quartz with other elements including precious gems and minerals. The resulting Alchemy tones are nothing short of incredible. In this age of awakening, as our fundamental understanding of frequency expands, we know that crystal singing bowls are powerful tools for healing and transformation.
Crystal Tones Alchemy bowls Andrea currently uses:
Kyanite
Is an extremely powerful transmitter and amplifier of high frequency energies. This alchemy builds an energetic light bridge for a more harmonious connection and communication, opening psychic channels and activating mind centers. The Kyanite resonance accentuates mental capacities and improves one’s ability to “download” information for higher sources by linking the physical, astral and causal bodies.
Smokey Quartz
Promotes positive mental and spiritual thinking and the art of staying grounded and balanced. This bowl works the solar plexus, sacral and root chakras for creativity and planting one’s roots in the rich soil of the Earth. Serene Smokey Quartz energies encourage centeredness, joy, cooperation and clarity and are a Golden Brown Rainbow of Earth Tones for the coming of the Crystal People to planet Earth, according to Hopi prophecy.
Pink Tourmaline
Expressing love of humanity and humanitarianism, Pink Tourmaline is the stone of unconditional love and friendship. It radiates the highest frequency of love encouraging compassion as it releases emotional pain. Creating peace and promoting communication between the conscious and unconscious minds, it allows psychic awareness to blossom.
Rhodochrosite
For the healing and purification of one's emotional body, the intense energy rooted in Rhodochrosite amplifies and intensifies joy, and the action of loving oneself fully through the expansion in awareness of ones inner beauty. In helping us to face our deepest secrets, this alchemy assists in the process of rediscovering the playfulness of our inner child, allowing us to drop the the extra emotional weight that has been holding us down. The energy of self-forgiveness and confidence is embodied in Rhodochrosite, allowing for the activation of positive attributes in our life of habits. As attention moves toward the blockages that we now choose to shift, one can release the suffering connected to past lives, and begin to recall forgotten talents. Anxiety will wane as stress is relieved and the aura is cleansed. Rhodochrosite nurtures one's capacity for tender love, and wholeness energy integrates into the awareness of the subconscious. On the physical level, Rhodochrosite improves eyesight along with pancreas, spleen and kidney function.
Carnelian
For those intending to build confidence, courage, and passion within themselves, the Carnelian alchemy works to activate the first, second and third chakras, bringing an influx of life force, sexual and creative energies and assertive will. Confidence, divine sexuality and movement into higher chakras to create passion in ones relationships and life work are the results of Carnelian frequency work. As one expands their awareness, a merging of the sexual with the spiritual without judgment of concepts or beliefs is allowed to occur, opening the flow of one's core sexual energy and moving it into the Christ energy frequency. Serving our inner beloved first and then serving others with an open willingness, free from ego makes Carnelian a potent tool to help clear competitive energy and empower both of the beloveds, thereby enhancing awareness of the Divine connection. This clearing of negative patterns in relationships offers access to the higher available frequencies, cultivating an awareness of the truth that vulnerability is actually power.
Sugilite
Clears the body and aura of unwanted energies that interfere with health and healing, clearing the path for more life force to heal and vitalize. Sugilite supports the easing of pain, alleviates stress and dispels the energies of environmental toxins. The light that emanates from Sugilite calms and relaxes while embracing a sense of peace.
Indigo
A quantum-healing tool, the Indigo Clear Bowl links the pituitary gland and skeletal system, helps clear the mind and frees the past. It invokes the master within and gives clarity to psychic abilities and speaking ones truth. The Indigo carries a Third Eye vibration of those who are fully realized at birth - natural spiritual teachers. It assists them in aligining with Earth energies. This bowl is perfect for Indigo children/adults and for visualizing global peace.
We now realize that the universe and everything in it is moving to specific tones and vibrations. Now more than ever, we are all embracing our individual ability to recognize not only the purity and clarity of energy contained in a given frequency, but how it effects us mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
We are rediscovering our abilities to tune into frequencies!
