Healing Sounds

With regard to the chakras and its associated energy fields, we would like you to consider that in certain traditions for example, a mantra which is given an initiate will change as the initiate undergoes spiritual transformation. What sound worked to resonate a chakra at one level changes as the individual changes and another mantra is to be used at that time.

I like to ask this question to audiences; “Do you think that your heart chakra vibrates at the same rate as the Dalia Lama or Mother Theresa?” It is a valid question. These are two highly developed beings whose heart chakras certainly seems to be quite open and loving. Do you believe that the frequency of their heart chakra, for example, is the same as all other beings on the planet? I am not giving you an answer. I am simply asking you to question it for yourself.

Regarding the vibrational rates of the chakras, as well as the bodily parts and systems, I remember a time when a student came up to me and told me that their root chakra resonated to the note “C”. I nodded my head and then asked: “Is this before or after meditation? Before or after food? And what sort of food would you be eating? Before or after your use the bathroom, have sex or a run around the block? It is my belief that all these factors and many more are able to affect our resonances.

This does not mean the question of vibrational rates is settled. I was once discussing my thoughts with an acquaintance, who is himself considered a great pioneer and researcher in this field of sound healing. This person told me, “If our chakras were to change their frequency, we would explode.” Perhaps he is correct. Or perhaps not. This man had created an extraordinary box which created a system relating sound, color, movement, smell and seemingly everything else in your known universe. It is perfect in its own way and I admire this person for having created it. But I suggested to this man that perhaps he has only created a box which is valid and real for him at this particular moment in time and space since we can create reality through our beliefs. And will this reality base not change as our belief systems change?

Many new spiritual scientists, discoverers and therapists are working with the concept of resonant frequency healing to create balance.  Many are successful.   They have developed different instruments, machines, tapes and other sound devices which project the healthy resonant frequency of a body part, (or, for the matter, of the chakras) into a person.

While some of these devices may be very effective for restoring resonance back to that which is vibrating out of harmony, you all have within yourselves the most powerful, effective and wondrous device for healing that you can imagine.  It is free, extremely efficient and it does not require batteries or electricity.  It is your own voice.  Your own, if we may, God given instrument for sound healing.  It requires only a little training to use,  does not require another operator to be applied, and it allows you to find the exact frequencies for resonance.  This does not happen with many of sound healing devices which are “locked into” specific sounds for specific parts.  This does not allow for frequency shifting, which is the change of the vibratory rate of either a part of the body, or the whole body and its associated energy centers as well.

Hospitals and medical centers are full of many devices that project sound and other vibrations.  We now have catalogs full of devices that you can use in your home to induce meditation and what not.  Many of new researchers have developed sound devices that project different frequencies into you for different effects.  They are useful and sometimes very fun and we encourage them.  However, it is important to realize that they are merely tools producing an effect.  And this effect can be achieved without them if you are interested in doing a little work on yourself.  What is most interesting, however,  is that while many of these sound devices and recordings do create positive change, the actual frequencies or notes that they use are not the same.

To illustrate this, let us discuss your chakras for the moment.  They are these spinning discs  that feed energy into what becomes the physical body.    When I was first researching this area many years ago, I came across a simple system that worked with the 7 chakras using the seven notes of the C major scale.  In this system, your root chakra was vibrating to the note “C”.  The next chakra resonated to the note “D”.  The next chakra to the note “E” and so on,  with the crown chakra vibrating to the note “B”.  It was a very easy system and I was quite pleased to find this.  However, as I continued with my investigation into this, I found many other systems that worked with many different notes besides these.

The variety of different notes that was used was quite extraordinary.  And none of them was in agreement.  This caused me some perplexity as he could not understand how all the different systems were not in agreement with each other and yet all of them seemed to work to some degree.  Then I developed a formula which he first put forth in his book HEALING SOUNDS.

The formula is this: FREQUENCY + INTENT = HEALING.

In my next post I will talk more about this formula.
