Edgar
Cayce, the "Sleeping Prophet" claimed that sound
would be the medicine of the future. The vibroacoustic uses of sound
in the past decade have brought many verifiable scientific discoveries
of the drug-free possibilities of sound as a powerful therapeutic
tool and healing modality. Sound vibrated deeply through the body
is used for a wide range of applications - from relief of chronic
pain to expansion of creativity to elevating states of consciousness.
Throughout
history, the sounds in nature have evoked in man a wide variety
of emotions- the chilling howl of a wolf in the forest, the soothing
roar of the ocean, and the laughter of children playing. Traditional
cultures have used drumming as a tool for sonically altering the
body's response to the interconnected physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual dimensions. Sounds as rhythmic patterns of tones and
chords, or music, throughou history have entrained man's consciousness
to our cultures, from the ringing of a Tibetan bell to the soothing
chakra balancing of Pacabel's Canon, to the very empowering lyrics
of Phil Collins.
Whatever the period in history, these highly ritualistic co mpositions
have tuned man to his earth - bound culture and its inherent trials
and tribulations, providing a release from the mundane, and insights
into other possibilities. The Shaman shaking his rattle during
a heali ng is a good example of the high-pitched rhythmic patterns
used to loosen the associations with another world, or, contrastingly,
the integrative effect of the peaceful, stress reducing passage
from a new age composition during a massage.
Sound is perceived in two ways: firstly, as an external source;
such as someone talking to you, the TV, or the sound of a bubbling
brook. Secondly; internally from the body organs, and especially
the voice.
The resonance
properties of the diaphragm in the chest cavity bring depth to the
voice - the throat, roof of the mouth, tongue and lips articulate
sound. The way we think we perceive sound is through the ear. The
way we feel we perceive sound is thro ugh the whole body. Until
recently, most sound therapy was directed at the perception of sound
through the ear. But recent developments in current medical thought
through pioneers such as Deepak Chopra, M.D. are stressing the integration
of the body a s a whole.
In a relaxed state the energies in and around the body flow freely
and smoothly. In stressed situations the energy flow is no longer
coherent (smooth and laminar) and, starting with the emotional
and mental bodies, the energy meridians become blocked. A yurvedic
medicine refers to the crystallization around muscle fibers as
muscle armoring. These crystallized patterns are the result of
stress within the body, which in the main correspond to unresolved
emotional conditions. Sound is a slower vibration o f light. There
are exactly 44 octaves between middle C at 256 Hz (cycles per
second) and the color of deep red at 4.6 x 10 to the power of
15 Hz. The colors of the chakras correspondingly have tonal aspects
to them. Middle C (color red) corresponds to the root chakra,
D (color orange) to the sex chakra and so on up the scale. In
harmonious states, our chakras correspond (some of the time) to
these equivalents. In non harmonious states these color/tone/chakra
rela tionships are less stable. In states of denial and in addictions,
the color/tone relationship is lost. This "offness" energetically
locks the belief system into sets of denial. The universe then
mirrors that set of beliefs to the person until they choo se to
address the denial.
The
body may be thought of as being composed of many vibrational patterns
working synergistically as a whole. Thus, long thigh bones have
a longer resonance wavelength than a small bone in the finger.
The larger muscle groups and organs have a deeper resonance than
the smaller ones. Similarly, the blood system will have a lower
resonance than the nervous system. Specific pieces of music naturally
have the capacity to resonate these different groups. Thus, a
strong rock rhythm with a rhythmic bass patt ern will vibrate
the denser tissues, and in doing so help to loosen the crystallized
patterns that have become entrained there. As these old beliefs
are released, the pitch of that tissue will deepen and acoustically
the whole body will vibrate to a lower note. In a highly stressed
individual the body will have a higher pitch, and this in turn
is reflected in their voice patterns and body language. A voice
analysis of this person will display the lack of certain tones.
The person may then be treated wi th music or tones predominantly
composed of those tones which are lacking.
Music, Geometry and Addictions
Addiction is the distortion of the natural flow of desire. In the
ebb and flow in nature there is no distortion or control to the
smooth free flow of letting go. When we allow the flow of creativity;
of the idea, the seed thought, the poem, the expr ession; speaking
what we feel when we feel it, coming from our power, expressing
our anger, there is no distortion. When we block the flow in our
emotions, when we control the natural movement of energy in motion,
when we hold back on expressing our fr ustration, then the natural
ebb and flow of desire becomes blocked. This distortion leads to
addiction through our denials and our control of desires and the
way that the universe mirrors back to us what we are projecting.
Thus the wave from the emotio n, the energy in motion, becomes particularized.
In this case the particular shape, the block, is a cube.
In
Sacred Geometry these cubes are used to hold patterns. The North
American Indian use the square in their ceremony to the four directions.
The pyramids, used throughout history, preserve and hold patterns
or belief s. The cube grounds and roots. In our spoken and written
language we use these phrases like "I feel blocked in my stomach"
with a precision that represents the way things are at that chakra.
The ebb and flow of the energy coming in and out of this point
is no longer smooth and laminar. We may feel tight in that area.
Emotionally something is bothering us, and the clarity of that
issue is deluding us.
In contrast, being present to our issues and the accompanying
well-being geometrically is coherent flow of energy. When we are
in this flow we geometrically magnetize synchronicities that forward
our relationship with ourselves and the universe. These s ynchronicities
mirror this information as sequences of colored geometries - light
languages. There are geometric archetypes for each of the personality
types. These can be seen in the aura. Thus an engineer will have
a unique sequence, a musician anoth er, a victim of sexual abuse
yet another.
There
are resonant relationships in these sequences, between individuals
and all living things; between the planets, sacred sites, even
a passage of music, and our loved ones. In choosing our playmates
in life, as in homeopathy, a law of similars applies: we attract
people into our lives as archetypal sequences that resonate with
us. This resonance will either evolve us or, in states of denial,
produce deeper blocks. However, until we address our issues our
denials mirror back to us a universe that controls our belief
systems. Thus, addiction is the distortion of the geometries and
frequencies associated with the natural flow. When desire flows
freely it is one level of satisfaction after another - true bliss
con sciousness of living in the now, in the moment, in gratitude
and appreciation for all that is.
The DreamWeaver
As a culmination of twenty years of research I have created a healing
environment called the DreamWeaver. This esoteric marriage of music
and sacred geometry profoundly reprograms the body, mind, spirit
interaction. T he magical combination produces deep relaxation and
disolution of the blocks in the body, balances the brainwave patterns,
and will produce a deep connection with spirit.. Your tensions melt,
your chakras align and you move to new levels of awareness.
Below is a description of the process:
The sound environment combines music, and sacred geometry. The
sum of the parts is much greater than the individual components.
The vibrotactile response of the body is extraordinarily powerful
-- you become the wave - physically, emotionally, mentally and
spiritually. The effect on the quantum field facilitates a balanced
space of greater well being.
The understanding
of the effect of sound as a healing modality is becoming a new science.
The high intensity vibrotactile response of the body in a musical
unified energy field environment is effective release from many
conditions. Music is a powerful medium to assist the healing of
the physical, mental and emotional bodies. This is always a profound
experience as the wave/particle relationship of sound and the geometry
of the environment sifts through the levels of the body's bodies.
For many this is life changing.
We are making these claims based on documentation of thousands
of sessions:
Physical Body
During the first 5 minutes the body is becoming entrained to the
vibrations of the music. This also happens when you "lose" yourself
in dance. This process is called bio-entrainment - you are responding
to the music and the space around you. Unlike acupuncture, rolfing
or shiatsu that pushes or pierces the area, the music gently vibrates
the meridian energy to assume a natural flow. The relaxation is
re-educating or reprogramming the tissues within the body. The dodecahedron
frame assists by passively reinforcing your meridians to balance
and entrain deeper. The space frame helps to reorganize the quantum
field in and around you.
Physical benefits are:
- Pain decreased
- Stress levels reduced
- Energy levels increased
- The worse the condition the more dramatic the result
Mental Body
The mental
body is intimately connected with the physical. As the physical
stress releases you become more aware and clearer in your thoughts.
Images may flash before your mind's eye and solutions to your life
will naturally present themselves as you relax to the vibrations
of the music.
Mental benefits are:
- Greater clarity as to purpose and outlook
- Greater awareness of your environment
- Core issues may present themselves and resolve
Emotional Body
Mostly our emotions have been repressed for so long that they have
become locked very deeply in our body tissues and mental patterns.
Music creates emotional resonance that will release blocked feelings.
Emotional benefits are:
- Release of blocked emotional patterns
- Connection to previously "unfelt" emotions
- Enhanced self worth and empowerment
Imagine bathing in an ocean of sound that caresses your whole body
and touches your innermost self. The sessions are designed to rapidly
assist the body's innate capacity to be whole, and to move to new
levels of awareness. The sessions are one hour. During this time
your facilitator will be consulting with you through a standardized
procedure that greatly facilitates the session. Sessions are individualized
and may include aromatherapy, toning, Reiki, Light Language, NLP
techniques, kinesiology, energy work, and specifically selected
passages of music.
There
may be some processing after the session as the body mind spirit
connection releases old patterns that have been changed by the
frequencies of the musical passages and the vibroacoustic "musical
massage" effects.
Here is an quote that illustrates the transformational qualities
of the DreamWeaver:
"During the first session my held emotions were being massaged
out of my body. I was able to visualize scenes from my past that
had caused me to give my power away and to bury anger and to react
out of fear. I was then able to visualize those scenes in different
ways and by the end of the session I was actually laughing and
enjoying myself. After the first session I went through a process
of releasing a great deal of guilt and fear about making choices,
not to mention releasing anger. I really started feeling great
about myself aside from others' opinions. During the second session
I felt the pain and tension in my legs, hips, and back being released
as I was doing deep breathing. There was some pain and tension
in my chest and I saw that being released, and as that was, I
felt incredible. Lots of peace, joy and love. Felt lots of forgiveness.
Saw some scenes from my childhood and parents house. I began to
feel very integrated and balanced. Felt that I had released a
lot of anger, fear, and guilt. Felt more open to self."
