This section is, by no means, meant to be an exhaustive study on this subject.  The topic of Energy Healing, using Sound Technology, is exploding right now.  During my recent stay in Sedona I was touched with a vision---one that has already touched many of you.  Many of our participants had already begun linking sound and Light Language to their own private devotional work.  I've had rumblings in my soul about it for years.  Now seems to be the time to take the matter very seriously. 

The History of Sound Healing is closely linked to the origin of Vibrational Medicine.  Some of the "heavy hitters" in these areas---from my own personal experience are listed below.  During this next year, I hope to notably expand this list.  For now, however, I will share with you what I know.  O, my friends.........TASTE THE JOY THAT IS WITHIN THESE TONES.

From Wikipedia:

"In TIMEAUS Plato records an event he witnessed whereby musicians trained by Pythagoras visited the bed of a seriously ill man. According to his account, the man was not expected to live the night, but by morning was to be found not just alive but healthy.

He states that many have reported the apparently miraculous healing power of music that the Pythagoreans had mastered. Clearly, music and rhythm have played a major part in many ancient societies in matters of magic and ritual, but Plato's account is the first direct reference of music being used for healing.

The Pythagoreans held that a high ringing tone, the Music of the Spheres, can be heard by all if they simply tune into it. This is the "Audible Stream of Life" and once you are reconnected with this healing can occur. In the modern day, there is an upsurge of interest in this ancient art. A recognized pioneer in Music Healing research is Professor Tomatis and many know of the book "The Mozart Effect" by Don Cambell.

Additional Historical Data:

  • The research in electromagnetism that is attributed to Nicola Tesla, who some call “The Father of the Twentieth Century.”   It was said that Telsa had far more to do with the development of electricity than Edison.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Tesla .  His original research is now being used by Alternative Healers who cure illnesses (such as AIDS, Cancer, M.S., and such) by using various means to raise the body’s vibratory “pitch,” to a place which lower-vibrating disease states cannot abide. 
  • Native American, Aboriginal, and African Shamanism---using ritual dance, drumming, flute, ceremonial rattles and bells, chanting, toning, and yogic breathing. (African Dance Styles are very popular now with young people.  www.vidadegaia.com    They consider them vehicles for healing, and bringing peace to the planet.)

  • Solfeggio Tones: 
    In music, solfège (pronounced /'soʊlfɛʒ/, also called solfeggio, sol-fa, or solfa) is a pedagogical solmization technique for the teaching of sight-singing in which each note of the score is sung to a special syllable, called a solfège syllable (or "sol-fa syllable"). The seven syllables normally used for this practice in English-speaking countries are: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and ti (with a chromatic scale of ascending di, ri, fi, si, li and descending te, le, se, me, ra).

     

    Len Horowitz in his book "Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse" explains:

    ”An extremely unique series of new Bible codes, reportedly related to ancient music and the physics of creation, have been discovered by a physician from Clark Fork, Idaho. The new revelation, found in the Book of Numbers, includes a mathematical electromagnetic frequency code for "miracles" that experts say has already been shown to help repair damaged DNA - the genetic blueprint of life.”

    According to the documentation and analyses provided in "Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse" (Tetrahedron Press, 1999; $26.95), principal investigator Dr. Joseph Barber was intuitively guided to find the pattern of six repeating codes in the Book of Numbers, Chapter 7, verses 12 through 83. When deciphered using the ancient Pythagorean method of reducing the verse numbers to their single digit integers, the codes revealed a series of six electromagnetic sound frequencies that correspond to the six missing tones of the ancient Solfeggio scale. These original sound frequencies were apparently used in the great hymn to St. John the Baptist that, along with many Gregorian chants, were lost centuries ago according to church officials. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart special spiritual blessings when sung in harmony during religious masses.”

    Dr. Barber, a naturopathic physician and minister of the gospel, and lead author, Dr. Leonard Horowitz-- a Harvard graduate and public health authority--spent three years researching the six tones that physicists and musicians alike recognize as "an extremely unique interrelated series of mathematical and electromagnetic sound frequencies that include harmonic sequences similar to those found in the 'wedding march.'" Additionally, the entire series appears to relate to the "144,000" predicted in the Book of Revelation to be gathered by God to sing a special song heralding the Messianic age.

    These original sound frequencies were apparently used in Ancient Gregorian Chants. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings when sung in harmony during religious masses. These frequencies can now be produced with The Sacred Solfeggio™ CD .   For More Info about this CD, click HERE.

    The Original Tones studied by these researchers---and the areas of life they can possibly affect:

    UT – 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear

    RE – 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change

    MI – 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)

    FA – 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships

    SOL – 741 Hz – Awakening Intuition

    LA – 852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order

 

Solfeggio 528 Hz (DNA Repair)

  • In the vocal worship of Tibetan Buddhist Monks, through traditional chants, featuring notes that cover up to 4 octaves in one tone, through harmonic resonance.  See “Gyuto Monks”  (samples:  http://www.rhapsody.com/thegyutomonks ). See especially #3 in the sample pack.  Background and Info:  http://www.gyuto.va.com.au/
  • Many Bible Stories make reference to the use of sound for healing, for purposes of worship, and even to help in battle.  Who hasn't heard the story of Joshua, blowing his horn at the Battle of Jericho?  One blast, and the walls of the city fell down.  It is said that a young King David used to comfort King Saul by playing on his harp.  And a whole book of Psalms (songs, poems) written by David has comforted humanity for generations.  Even today, Jewish congregations often report having mystical experiences when they hear the sounding of a shofar (an ancient horn that was used to gather the Tribes of Israel).   
  • Ceremonial Chant, Gregorian Chant.  Such as the work of Alexander Sedov, and the Russian Chorus “Ancient Echoes” (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000003FTV?v=glance )   Samples are at the bottom of the page.  Also, you may want to check out the work of the Bulgarian Women’s Choir. 
  • More recently, the work of Jonathan Goldman, who has perfected “Chakra Chants” for energetic attunement of the body.  http://www.healingsounds.com/
  • The work of Tom Kenyon, using resonant Crystal Bowls and Acoustic Brain Research:  http://www.tomkenyon.com/abrs.html
  • Integration of resonant Tuning Forks with various forms of alternative medicine….primarily Chiropractic, Naturopathy, and Massage Therapy:               
  • Ayurvedic and Indian Styles of Rhythm, Chant, Flute, and Instrumentation.
  • The Hemi-Sync Tapes of the Monroe Institute.  I cannot be remiss and leave these out.  This sound technology is producing some marvelous results with those who have chronic pain, debilitating disease, focus and concentration issues, insomnia, and many other conditions.  You listen to the tapes with a walkman and headphones, and the sound bounces back and forth, from side to side, stimulating the two sides of the brain to come into balance---an effect which alters brain wave patterns and induces deep relaxation and/or concentration.  We’ve done weekend workshops with this stuff that changed people’s lives. 

There is even a Sound Healer’s Association, which is in its infancy.  Some exploration of the Web Site can offer many more insights into this blossoming profession and field of study:  http://www.soundhealersassociation.org/main.asp

There is much more, of course…….but this gives you a thumbnail of a few of my interests here.  My daily practice with clients is far more simplified these days, unless I work at Retreats and Intensives, where we have space to “let it all hang out” when we do toning, drumming, etc.  One of my offices had a huge Sub-Woofer under my Massage Table, with strategically spaced tweeters all around, producing quite a sound experience for whoever was getting Body Work that day. 

Much, much more to come, I suspect. 

DJ.
