Why Sound Heals The Mind Unleashed
Why Sound Heals The Mind Unleashed

We can feel it when we turn on the radio and our favorite song happens to be playing, or when we sit
quietly and listen to the rain. There is a palpable peace when we are absorbed in quiet and a different
kind of rejuvenation when we hear the wind in the trees. There is no doubt that sound has subtle, but
profound effects on our body, minds and spirits. How exactly does sound work, though, to heal us?
Have you ever listened to an orchestra prepare to play an invigorating symphony? There is a cacophony
first with the woodwinds and strings, horns, and timpani making quite a ruckus, but when they tune their
instruments precisely, the sound that washes over you like a wave, can bring peace and excitement that
surpasses some of the most invigorating practices on earth like sky diving, or dropping 45 feet into a
hidden cave.
Sound is not unorganized chaos. It is a dynamic but ordered pattern. ~ Dr. Hans Jenny
The body works in much the same way. If a single instrument (organ, or organ system) is playing its own
tune, and not in harmony with the rest of the body, disease is more likely to happen.
The fundamental principle of Energy Medicine is that an underlying energy field generates physical, emotional,
and mental behaviors or symptoms. If we change the energy field, the physical, emotional, and mental behaviors
will also change.
Cymatics

One of the most effective ways to change the energy field is through a science named cymatics. Though
he was not the first to discover that sound could heal, Dr. Hans Jenny, M.D. of Basel Switzerland put
together some fascinating experiments where we could literally see how sound works.
Jenny created cymatics when he put sand, fluid or some other powder on a metal plate that was attached
to an oscillator. An oscillator is essentially a vibrator, but his oscillator was controlled by a generator that
was able to produce many thousands of types of frequencies. Some of these can be found in nature, and
others are created by man.
By changing the frequencies on the oscillator, Jenny found that sand, or water or whatever substance he
was using to create a visible medium for his sound, would morph into some very interesting shapes. These
shapes mimicked the properties of divine geometry, and the higher the frequency, the more complex the
shapes would appear to be.
He wrote:
Since the various aspects of these phenomena
are due to vibration, we are confronted with a
spectrum which reveals a patterned, gurative
formation at one pole and kinetic-dynamic
processes at the other, the whole being
generated and sustained by its essential
periodicity.
What Jenny was observing was really a simple way of observing matter come to life. Since we now
understand, through the emerging field of quantum physics, that patterns emerge via waves of energy, the
plates were showing the scientist a similar phenomenon. In ancient Sumerian society, this was a known
fact. This is why practices like mantra were held in high esteem. The seed syllable, OM, for example, causes
a certain frequency to imprint upon the matter around it, and thus changes the energetic field. The
Tibetans knew of a similar sound science, and practiced the chanting of five seed syllables that would
purify the mind. Monks who chanted in the Gregorian style, also knew of this healing power.
The kind of singing that we do calms the spirit
and helps us live in peace with our world and
with one another, says Abbot Philip Lawrence, a
scholar of chant who also leads the Monastery
of Christ In The Desert home to an American
order of Benedictine monks from Abiquiu, New
Mexico. Chanting has some strange effect on
the brain waves according to various studies,
continues Abbot Philip, but this effect is
certainly not the Monks of the Deserts objective;
rather their goal, and that of Gregorian chant,
notes Abbot Philip, is to focus on the words
rather than the challenge of voice production or
sight reading. It is always our hope that our
singing will bring others to peace, inner
tranquility and an appreciation of beauty. These
values can help create a world in which peace
and tranquility prevail.

frequencies of the collapsed wave, or quantum field, then we have the ability to create a different reality
with sound.
The possibility for great healing can be seen in the science of sound. The picture of the Sri Yantra, a
mandala created by sound, and said to be imagined by a yogi in deep meditation, is a representation of
one of the oldest sounds in the world. Some call it a manifestation of divine sound. The triangles that
appear in the Sri Yantra are perfectly integrated based on the divine number, Pi, which is also the basis for
the golden mean, Phi. The Greek philosopher, Pythagorus understood sound and divein geometry, and it
was written about by Euclid in Elements around 300 B.C., by Luca Pacioli, a contemporary of Leonardo Da
Vinci, in De Divina Proportione in 1509, by Johannes Kepler around 1600. Many others knew of this
cosmic mathematics, and its power to heal throughout the ages.
The harmonics of sound work to create order out of chaos. Disease, you might say, is a form of chaos in the
body.
According to Dr. Robert Friedman, the connection between the Golden Ratio and ideal health was a no-
brainer.
During his medial residency in the 1980s, Dr. Friedman began observing the Golden Ratio throughout the
human bodyon the anatomical, physiological, and molecular levels. The deeper I looked, said Friedman,
the more deeply I discovered this incredible and ubiquitous Code to be embedded throughout the
structure and function of the bodyit only followed that the more one could harmonize with this grand
principle, the more efficient and effortless life could be.
Healing Frequencies
What is illness? Emotional issues that are unresolved block the healing vibrations or cause the disease state to
return. ~ R Gordon
Over millennia, those who have studied the science of sound, have come to understand that certain
frequencies are very healing for the human body. Overall, however, you are trying to create resonance
When two systems are oscillating at different frequencies, there is an impelling force called resonance
that causes the two to transfer energy from one to another. When two similarly tuned systems vibrate at
different frequencies, there is another aspect of this energy transfer called entrainment, which causes
them to line up and to vibrate at the same frequency. (Richard Gordon)
When we entrain with healing frequencies, our bodies and minds vibrate in harmony. These include:
285 Hz Signals cells and tissues to heal. Leaves the body feeling rejuvenated.
396 Hz Liberates guilt and fear to make way for higher vibrating emotions
639 Hz This is the vibration associated to the heart. It allows feelings of love for self and other until
there is no longer a distinction. To balance relationships, listen to this frequency.
741 Hz Said to clean the cells and heal them from exposure to electromagnetic radiation. Helps shift
someone into empowerment so they can create the reality they wish to see.
963 Hz Activates the pineal gland, and aligns the body to its perfect, original state.
Of course, there are further frequencies, many of which that are not even within the human range of
hearing, but they are healing nonetheless.
George Lakhovsky, a Russian engineer understood the power of sound as well. He understood that certain
frequencies would make a living being grow stronger. I hope you are able to find healing in the
frequencies Ive described, and that this introduction to why sound heals will spur you to learn more.
At the root of all power and motion, there is music and rhythm, the play of patterned frequencies against the
matrix of time. We know that every particle in the physical universe takes its characteristics from the pitch and
pattern and overtones of its particular frequencies, its singing. Before we make music, music makes us. ~
