Vibration, Sound, Acoustics, and Music:

Healing and Other Stuff

Lecture based Questions:

1. Can knowledge of sound improve the quality of life?

We are surrounded by sound everywhere we go, whatever we do. If you were to be locked into a noise-dead room, the hubbub of your body rhythms and moving parts would still be pervasive and strong. This is the way of the physical world. There is no escaping sound and the effects of sound. I have had the privilege of knowing several deaf people, and they are equally as affected by sound as hearing people are. In fact, it dominates their consciousness more than it does ours, as they seek aural-related stimulation in a society of hearing people.

All the dimensions are filled with sound of some type. There are only a few rare bardos in which music or noise is not evident. However, the vibration of place is integrated even into these milieux, and that is also made up of what we would consider to be sound of a type.

So to answer the question, yes, awareness of sound and what it can do is knowledge that can assist you in certain functions of your life.

2. How does vibration affect us?

Vibration is a complex and many aspected school of learning. It includes everything that you can think of. In a way, you could say that vibration is necessary to the fabric of the universe. The physical science of acoustics is an excellent way to examine how vibration is important and powerful.

Every location has its own vibration, and this can be utilized for transportation. Every atomic element has its own musical tone vibration, indicating its weight, bonding, atomic integrity, temperature, and proximity to other atoms. Every emotion has its own vibration, describing its positive or negative energy, its purpose, its target, and its sender. Every thought form has rhythm, tone, and pattern that describes the idea, its quality of goodness, and its clarity of design.

Vibration moves and organizes things. It [especially low-frequency vibration] disrupts molecular bonds. It assists in the entropic breakdown of organized matter. It reorders particles into its own patterns.

3. Can we use sound for healing?

Yes. Sound does affect health and can aid in the healing process. Music is also very helpful in putting the body in the correct mode for regeneration. Hal Lingerman wrote a nice book about the healing qualities of music and put a lot of detail into it. I think that Quest Books published it.

Here I would like to comment that healing does not need to be complicated with a lot of ritual and arcane religious rigmarole. You would be most effective if you were well acquainted with the body’s systems and organs. Understand how they dovetail with each other in function and teamwork.

Really make a scientist out of yourself instead of depending on random facts. Misinformation from internet rumors or unscientific sources is abundant. . If you truly want to be a healer, then you had best quit neglecting 5,000 years of pragmatic experience and use the applications that already have proven successful. Ignorance will not serve you here. Superstition will not serve you here. Crack open a physiology book, for God’s sake. Read the recent scientific journals for news. Remember any “innovative book” is by nature at least two years out of date. The latest and most interesting applications are in this month’s journals. We are not here to reinvent the wheel, but to stand on the shoulders of the giants who came before us.

Once, a spiritual leader who has a center in Switzerland asked me why the sky is blue. I knew the answer because I studied elementary physics in college. As a substitute teacher in the public school system, I know that 5th graders learn the answer to this question now. Why would my friend ask me about the sky when he should have been asking a meteorologist or a science teacher? Perhaps he thought the answer would be religious or somehow clairvoyantly related. Perhaps he was looking for a reason or a purpose behind the physical condition. At any rate, the question he asked me was direct, simple, and had a physical answer. I’m telling you this story because I want to emphasize that scientific ignorance can obstruct your sense of reality. If you are a citizen of this body and this planet, then it is important to know how it works, or who has the data that you need. Bad science does NOT make good religion. On the contrary, it makes you gullible to the lies of people who can profit by your ignorance.

We know that the body in general responds to A-440 as a DNA supporter for returning injured parts and systems to their original health. The body has a cooking time for cellular regeneration. If the injury is minor, then a year can restore the body to equilibrium from trauma. If the damage is complicated or life-threatening, then two to three years is an expected cooking time for all the body’s systems to recover to full strength.

If you wish to alter the DNA, however, this is a different matter and a different lesson. Suffice it to say that diddling with cellular command requires some knowledge about genetic code. There are possible side effects related to the new DNA direction. Also, angelic supervision should be an important factor in this type of approach. When you are an energy healer, the less of yourself that is involved in choices and procedures, the easier it is for angelic assistance to move in.

If you are working on your own body, remember that your own excesses and neuroses got you into this fix in the first place. Your lifestyle, ignorance, and willfulness led you to this extreme condition. Energy healing can temporarily relieve the symptoms, but your real illness is the series of choices that made the body sick or injured. If you don’t address your personality, then how can you become permanently well?

Here's an example of bad science affecting the outcome of a life. An acquaintance of mine had a stroke during her twenties. Her family never took her to a doctor. Instead they locked her up in a mental ward. My friend Peter Hein, M.D. said that this happens more often than we want to imagine. Anyhow, this woman translated this episode to be religious experience. She gets angry if you mention a stroke. She avoided MRIs or examinations that would confirm lesions to the brain, even after a car accident that caused further head trauma. Certainly she had some spiritual visions and inspiring guidance during that difficult first health issue, but it is wise to also address the entire circumstance and give the body the care that it needs. My friend has unresolved family issues and emotional concepts that could be brought to healing if the stroke issue were faced correctly. May it be so that we all are blessed with enlightenment in a fun and easy way, and that our life paths become more clear and smooth always.

Here is an example of a neurosis creating obstacles for healing. A friend of mine suffered a back injury from a dangerous sport. She ignored the warnings of her family to stop. Eventually, she put herself into a dicey situation and suffered a painful spinal trauma. Four back surgeries and a mountain of morphine later, the basic personality dysfunction that created the conditions for the injury is still up to its old tricks. She tries to rule the world from her wheelchair. Nobody expects her to throw parties, look like a fashion model, or attend long uncomfortable functions, yet she tries to do it all. She recently tried to dress herself before her helper arrived and she fell, broke her hand, and damaged her hip. She will get this neurosis thing right soon, as will we all.

I’ve just been trying to illustrate how a neurosis can be responsible for the body’s problems. This should be your primary concern in your own healing. If you remove the traps that you used to set for yourself, then your chances for a successful, healthy, happy life will increase!

4. Does the timbre of different instruments and sound-making objects affect us differently?

Right you are. Timbre (pronounced tamber) is the word we apply to the unique sound of each instrument or sound-producing device. Each instrument affects the body and different organs of the body differently.

However, do not substitute electronic or recorded sounds for the acoustic instruments. The overtones of the live instruments are what create the physical reaction in the body. Violins are great for draining clogged lymph systems. They also expand the Etheric body. Nothing drums up the Etheric body like drums, however. The immune system is very responsive to guitar sound. The human voice is very compelling on many levels. The loud pow-wow singing of Native Americans can really expand your Etheric body, too.

If you don’t trust your own reactions—and I can’t imagine that happening—but if you need further confirmation, watch the response of animals to the different timbres.

5. What does this have to do with clairvoyance?

Because sound and vibration are ubiquitous, we can use them when scoping out a situation. Clairvoyance is the reception of information beyond the five physical senses. We can get an approaching vibration of someone or something long before it arrives physically. We can get happy or sad vibrations from organs or people. We can find harmonious matches in situations for ourselves.

6. Draw or describe one of your helpers. You may use a symbol or describe a fragrance, color, shape, or name to help ground the knowledge of your helper.

Well, perhaps you have heard an Angel singing, or some beautiful drift of music that wasn't in this physical plane. Write it down—your experience—and ask your Guardian Angel who it was who sent you that lovely moment of connection.

7. Exercise: Awareness of the Here

Sit comfortably so that your body does not distract you.

Breathe normally with your eyes closed.

Acknowledge where you are sitting and then move your attention to the air around you.

Be aware of the air on your skin. Feel its texture.

Imagine the colors of the different molecules floating in the air around you.

Imagine golden lines cross-secting your body. They pinpoint your location in the universe.

Here you are, and where you are makes a unique song in your body and in the place where you are resting.
