The Healing Power of Music.

Music is Sound.

Music is said to calm the soul. But what exactly is this - how does it work?

All of Creation is simply energy, life vibrating in tune with itself.

In healing, we use sound as quiet, relaxational music to create a pleasant atmosphere for healing, but in reality we are doing more than that.

Sound has a Frequency.

The energy of everything is vibrating at a certain frequency, according to what the energy is expressing as. In the process of healing we are using energies to trigger biological cells to activity, and those energies are of the certain coherent frequencies that are required for that particular job. The energies are of very high frequency, but there are harmonics and resonance's that come low enough to be acceptable to the human senses. These resonance's may or may not be consciously observed by our hearing, but more likely accepted subconsciously - they are there nevertheless.

A pure musical note is coherent sound.

The Sound of OM.

There are thought to be certain frequencies of sound that correspond to universal frequencies - the sound of Creation. With ancient religions and cultures the sound of the sacred word 'OM' (or sometimes spelt AUM) is thought to be the sound of creation ("In the beginning was the Word..."). This word is used in Tibetan Mantras, repeatedly. The repeated use of a word or phrase is thought to train the brain to respond to that frequency - to open up the mind so that it will be permanently receptive to that particular perception.

Each planet of our solar system is found to emit a sound, and every other celestial body is similar. The planet Earth itself emits a magnetic frequency of around 7.8 to 8.0 cycles per second (known as 7.8-8.0 Hertz). This is far too low a frequency for us to hear, around 1/7th of the hum of mains electricity, but it is there. This frequency of 7.8-8.0 Hz is known as Shumann waves. The combined sounds of all the celestial bodies together is considered to create a sort of music, sometimes referred-to as the 'music of the spheres'.

Calming, Relaxational Therapy.

The triggering of the biological cells may take the form of a simply calming effect. This is most likely to be the introduction of ALPHA brain waves (from 8 - 13 Hz), in which the brain is in the most likely state to meditate, and be in acceptance of a wider spectrum of sensitivities than in the normal day-to-day BETA rhythm (13-30 Hz) brain waves. The Alpha rhythm state is a function of the cells of the right side of the brain. This state is necessary for both healer and patient being healed. For the healer it is the state of being 'in the stillness' that allows them to act as a channel for the energies to flow - being 'attuned'. For the patient it is a state of acceptance to allow the exchange of energies to proceed. It is healing for the mind. Stress is a causative factor in dis-ease, and the stress is relieved. It is a medical field of research in the US by Dr Daniel Kirsch in electromedicine, who has realised that by harnessing neurones in the brain he can balance up all the four frequencies and thus relieve stress, insomnia and pain.

More about Brain waves.

There are other frequencies of brain wave; the THETA which resonates between 4 and 7 Hz, usually noted in the dream state, and the DELTA which is up to 4 Hz, associated with deep sleep. Dr Robert Beck, a nuclear physicist, has measured the brain waves of healers all over the world. He has found that irrespective of the method of healing, all healers have an exactly similar brain wave of 7.8-8.0 Hz when healing - the frequency of the planet Earth!

The effect is considered to be due to the healer coupling with the magnetic field of the Earth - known as phase coupling - in tune with the planet.

Dr John Zimmerman (founder of Bio-Electromagnetics Institute, Nevada) has discovered that the healers' left and right brain become balanced to the 7.8-8.0 Hz frequency, during healing.

It is possible that because the healer is in tune with the patient through the energy field (Auric field) then the patient may have an induced brain wave of 7.8-8.00 Hz, and Dr Beck has shown that the patient, after healing, has this identical brain wave pattern. This is known as phase synchronism.

Spiritual Awareness.

The other effect of being in the Alpha rhythm state is that when the right side of the brain is activated, it is functioning on the spiritual or emotional level - it will open up in sensitivity to experiences and perceptions beyond the norm. The more the brain is stimulated in this way, the more it can accept - higher and higher frequencies of stimulation. Thus emotional problems that are experienced by the patient are more likely to surface, particularly those emotions and feelings that have been suppressed and buried in the subconscious, and thus can be addressed, accepted and therefore healed; Healing on the spiritual/emotional level. It is also known that music will trigger the release of endorphins in the brain. Endorphins are natural opiates - neuropeptides, and likened to a happiness 'reward' by the brain when we are receiving thought of an acceptable frequency. Does the endorphin release because of the alpha brainwave, or is it the other way round?

Physical Effects.

Another effect of the triggering of the biological cells is that they will perform as they should be performing - multiplying and replacing worn-out, malfunctioning and depleted cells. Most biological molecules are electrical dipoles (as is water), and to produce a mechanical or acoustic oscillation is the same effect as producing an electrical oscillation. There may be a converse interconversion based on frequency.

In the patient this will have a physical effect, and will act upon the physical body in a beneficial way. For example bones that have been damaged will repair at a higher rate of recovery than normal. Manners (1986) devised a way of applying audible sound to the body for healing application - specific frequencies to match the natural resonances of bones, no longer generated by injured bones in natural movement.

Glandular activity, hyper or depleted, will be return to normal functioning as new cells are cloned, and perform as they should, creating the necessary hormones and enzymes for a healthy state of body.

There are many more examples that can be cited. This is healing on the physical level.

Thus we can see that healing is taking place on the physical, mental and emotional levels simultaneously.

Music.

Music is a powerful and emotive force.

Certain sounds may have a magical effect on you, the listener, and create tingling, hair standing up on the back of your neck, or emotional release. We share this quality with some animals, such as dogs. Scientific study has revealed that neurones in the brain 'light up' on hearing certain sounds of music. It has also been found that music is necessary for our well-being. A vital life-force. This is in the right brain, the part associated with the feministic qualities of intuition and mystery. Music is also used in conventional medical therapy as in the treatment of autism. Music does not need an intellectual, logical response (left brain activity), so is rooted in the right brain, and as such will promote alpha response and thus meditative states, providing a focus for meditation.

The music of the classical composers has been found to have the most profound effect, and some researchers, such as Elizabeth Clare Prophet, has created charts that align certain musical sounds such as the sounds of the Piano, Strings, Harp, etc., to specific chakra activity. Symphonic Strings, for example are aligned with the Crown Chakra and Divine Wisdom. New Age music will also create the same effect. It is thought that the problems of today's world emanates from discordant or meaningless 'music', and the future of civilisation depends upon the correct use of sound, and thus music.

In our healing activities, therefore, we can use music of the right sort to not only create a 'healing atmosphere' for both healer and patient, but also to 'attune' the healer to alpha rhythm and the frequencies needed for energy exchange, to stimulate the cells of the body to reproduce healthy cells, to stimulate the brain to accept higher frequencies of spiritual and emotional awareness, but also to stimulate and heal the mind.

Our Song.
For those people who are in contact with non-physical intelligences through channelling, they are told that colour emits a sound like a musical note. This sound can be heard in other dimensional states (but sadly not in this one). Within ourselves we hold energies of many frequencies. These can be seen by our non-physical friends as colours, ever-changing, ever-moving according to our consciousness-understanding. The frequencies (and thus colours) also resonate to a combination of frequencies that can be heard in dimensions other than this earthly, material, physical dimension. This sound of the frequencies is a characteristic of us, and is different for every living soul. Thus to other intelligencies in their own dimensions we are known, not necessarily by our name, but by this sound. They call it 'our song'.
