Give Your Mind, Body and Soul the Gift of the ‘Miracle’ Frequency of Love: 528Hz

“Light and Sound are interwoven in the Language of Life.”

Elle Nicolai

I recently finished one of the most impactful and important books I am ever likely to read (and no doubt refer back to many times): The Book of 528 Prosperity Key of Love by Dr. Leonard Horowitz.

The knowledge contained in its pages will continue to be ingested and imbibed over time and repetition. This weighty book covers many aspects of life, existence and society at large; it is both mystical, mathematical and scientific.  I will do my best to extrapolate the key points that I found helpful to evolve in my life and be of service to my valued readers.

Personally I have found immersing myself in the tones of 528Hz to be incredibly beneficial. I can literally feel my cells and spirit responding. It speaks to the eternal part of my being, showing me the sacred value of life. I feel truly alive in these beautiful sustaining sounds. It has helped not only me, but a beloved son in recovering from a recent trauma.

It really doesn’t matter if you understand the complex maths in the book or certain concepts, because all that really matters are the experiential effects.

“If LOVE is the Universal Healer, it makes sense that it would be spiritual energy carried universally on a special broadcasting ‘channel’ or wave frequency. This is just like your radio receiver that uses digital electromagnetic technology to tune into a ‘clear-channel’. 528Hz appears to carry a very special and very powerful signal for universal construction and reconstruction.

This ‘good vibration’ identified as the ‘miracle frequency’ at the heart of the ancient solfeggio, is, likewise, at the heart of the sound and light spectrums.”

Dr. Leonard Horowitz (The Book of 528: Prosperity Key of Love)

Musical Creationism

Dr. Horowitz’s aim in writing this manual for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing; a masterpiece of love,  is to elucidate how the universe operates musically/mathematically, of which 528Hz is the central ‘string’ or tuning. He asserts that, “528 revelations can provide a peek into universal construction to help you reconstruct your life, enhance your life, enhance your health, co-create a better world, and celebrate peace and freedom.”

528 Hertz Frequency is:

  • Linked to the heart of everything.
  • Playing at the heart of the original Solfeggio musical scale.
  • Fundamental to Pi, Phi, the Golden Mean and all sacred geometry including circles, squares, arches and architecture.
  • The greenish-yellow of your heart chakra.
  • Required for space/time measurements.
  • Crucial to the mile with 5280 feet.
  • Needed to determine the speed of light; constructive to E=mc2 since energy, mass and light all depend on it.
  • Paramount to water structuring in the form of a tetrahedron
  • Central to Genesis command, “Let there be Light.”
  • Broadcast by the Sun and Jupiter (considered benefic planets in Vedic (Sidereal) astrology
  • Resonating the heart of rainbows and snowflakes
  • Celebrated throughout the world in the pigment chlorophyll – the reason grass is green. (The human eye can differentiate more shades of green than any other colour).
  • Structuring your haemoglobin and adding LOVE to prana, “the breath of life,” oxygen.
  • Is the Miracle note of the universe, and much more…

Just as the Renaissance heralded one of the greatest cultural transformations in Western culture, I believe 528Hz is one of the most powerful creative sounds and light frequencies that could bring mankind out of its modern technological and AI obsessed stupor.

528Hz is the spiritual panacea for the madness that pervades our world, where the masses are spiritually suppressed and mind-controlled by mainstream media that promotes barbarism, political and corporate agendas, polarisation, self-destruction and self-loathing.

The magical power of 528Hz:

With so much at stake on a planetary and global scale, as well as in our everyday lives, we can elevate our consciousness and our collective futures with the frequency of love. We are all dancing in a cosmic sound and light show!

528Hz generates more love in our cells and hearts, to overcome depression, fear, greed and recession with the higher vibrational resonance of love, joy, faith and courage to manifest abundance in all ways.  All feelings and emotions are vibrations; energies or E-motions, what Dr. Horowitz calls “e” motions-electrons, communicating vibrational energy characterising numbers or cycles per second, called Hertz.

A musical-mathematical matrix:

Nikola Tesla famously said: “If humanity would only know the power of the 3s, 6s, 9s it would be a completely different universe.” What a tragedy that his research was confiscated after his death. I believe his lab contents would have freed humanity from the yoke of greedy energy companies that extort high profits and pollute the planet.

We tend to think of language as a verbal and written communication, but this book explores the creator’s language, which fundamentally is musical (wave like and vibrational) and mathematical, (fractal and geometric), the very warp and weft of the universe.

Polymath Robert Edward Grant has a rather beautiful philosophy; that music is the geometry you can hear and nature is the geometry you can see. It is deeply embedded in our everyday lives in ways we take for granted, but when we look a little deeper into ‘reality’ we can ascertain a more profound meaning.

Language is a creative technology. Dr. Horowitz explores alphanumerics (a code to transpose letters into numbers) Pythagorean numerology and gematria.

As can be seen in sacred geometry all natural structures are math based. The carbon-6 organic chemistry ring is a good example; a snowflake or honeycomb denotes an ordered structuring. 

The number eight relays special meaning in that it is the ‘infinity sign’ (used by some companies in their logo, Such as the Virgin Media brand) it represents the creator, and the structure of the universe (a double donut or double toroid, a whole other subject based on physicist Nassim Haramein’s work).

Eight is the number for oxygen in the Periodic Table, and element number 8 carries the core energy (electron) for the miracle of life and hydrogen (element number 1) donates the electron yielding the math of ‘9’.

NASA have discovered that space is full of water, with ice crystals deep in space, and water in rocks on Mars.

“Across the universe, numbers are expressed elementally, supporting ‘hydrosonic’ creationism – that is, the constructive value of frequency vibrations moving through water that transmit energy, language, or mathematical intelligence to direct the flow and actual manifestation of matter.”

Dr. Leonard Horowitz (Book of 528)

There will be more on H2O later!

A scaled universe

Research from space/time physicist Dr. Harmut Muller is presented to support the importance of 528 and its Pythagorean reduction (5+2+8= 15 and 1+5=6) to ‘6’. A lot of the math by Marko Rodin and Victor Showell in chapter three was over my head, but essentially Muller’s findings (like those of Tesla), are that the universe is scaled, much in the same way as musical octaves are scaled.

Muller posits that at the core of a mathematically scaled universe is a ‘standing gravitational wave’, (SGW) like a wave of water and/or sustaining energy.  All physical matter in space is required to phase-lock with gravitational forces, and this adherence is called ‘entrainment’.

He summarises that the water-filled universe is vibrating in whole number ratios, with the frequency, 528Hz, strongly and centrally represented within this musical matrix.

For a genius level of understanding see Dr. Muller’s book on Global Scaling: the fundamentals of interscalar cosmology.

When seen in a Cymagraph 528Hz frequency vibrating in water produces waves and nodes flowing into a 36 pointed hydrosonic star, demonstrating a 360-degree circle.

Some musical history

I’ve taken some excerpts from the book which explains music’s original intention, how it has evolved and been manipulated:

“There are two types of scales commonly referenced in music: 1) diatonic, and 2) chromatic. The diatonic scale is a simple whole note scale missing the half-tones, sharps and flats. You can think of this simpler scale as a piano keyboard without any black keys. Each ‘whole note’ represents a pitch whose frequency is a whole number. Alternatively, the chromatic scale grants greater ‘shades’ of music from the addition of half-tones, the black keys. Half tones reflect fractions of the whole notes , or ½ intervals between the whole numbers.

Image by Andrik Langfield Unsplash

Historically, ‘a diatonic scale with a chromatically alterable b/b-flat was first described by Hucbald of St. Amand’s treatise Musica, who adopted the tetrachord,’ D,E,F and G, and constructed the rest of the system following the model of the Greek Greater and Lesser Perfect Systems. These were the first steps in forging the modern ‘theoretical tradition’ of music.

The simple diatonic scale was used by the Gregorian monks for their spiritually uplifting chants. The hymn to St. John the Baptist was sung to simply six whole tones – the original solfeggio.

“Acoustic vibrations project colours of light, based on their math; especially through water – a liquid crystal superconductor of sound and light.

The ancient sacred languages, including Hebrew, Sanskrit, Aramaic and Babylonian, touched people’s hearts more than their heads, and relayed intuitively or instinctively greater meanings, feelings and emotions, providing the technology for optimal communication and communion.”

“This spiritual capacity of sound to create or destroy relationships, between God and man, and interpersonally between people, was honoured by the Greek Greater Perfect System that was based on ancient Hebrew. This music was made using seven overlapping scales, or octaves species, called harmoniai, characterised by the pleasing harmony of pure tones, broadcasting the vibrations of whole numbers, within the species.

In other words, scale patterns , reflecting Fibonacci math patterns, using different pitches, were called ‘octave species,’ and were harmonically pleasing to your ears and uplifting to your heart or spirit.

Cosmic laws, the movement of plants, the best music, ways to tell time, and the LOVE in your heart, are all related to 528 Hz frequency. ”

The nefarious origins of standard tuning (A=440Hz) and the Devil’s Tone

It’s time to shed light on the evil origins of the manipulation of western music. The Rockefeller Foundation first tried to persuade the The American Foundation of Musicians to adopt A=440Hz standard tuning by providing a grant. It had limited success at that time, and was not at all accepted in Europe.

However, according to Horowitz, the British-German-American Cartel arrangement influenced the British Standards Institute (BSI), as well as European musicians to accept this ‘standardisation’ in 1939 by Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, (who was backed by the Third Reich which was financially backed by Rockefeller-Rothschild bankers).

Psychoacoustic manipulation was linked to the Rothschild-Rockefeller war investments in Germany, Britain and the USA, to establish the Western World’s standard musical tuning of A=440Hz.

When music is tuned to A=440Hz the F# note causes the dissonance  between 528/741, known by musicologists as the ‘Devil’s Tone’.

Dr. Leonard Horowitz explains the Devil’s Tone and the meaning behind The Beatle’s Yellow Submarine film :


This is what Dr. Horowitz has to say about standard tuning:

“According to preliminary research, analysis, and professional discussions by Walton, Koehler, Reid, et al., on the web, A=440Hz frequency music conflicts with human energy centres (i.e., chakras) from the heart to the base of the spine. Alternatively, chakras above the heart are stimulated. Theoretically, the vibration stimulates ego and left-brain function, suppressing the “heart-mind,” intuition and creative inspiration.”

In essence, this cartel, rooted in the world of investment banking, has advanced a covert operation to control populations most loudly and profitably. Music bioenergetically affects your body chemistry, psychoneuroimmunology, and health. Your body is now vibrating musically, audibly and subliminally, according to an institutionally imposed frequency in harmony with aggression and in dissonance with LOVE.”

It’s time to break free from cultural indoctrination and explore more healing ‘pitches’ that promote psychosocial harmony, health, and ecstatic listening experiences. Is there an orchestra brave enough to put on a concert where A above middle C is tuned to A=444Hz and therefore in-tune with the beneficial 528Hz frequency?

I’m sure audiences would offer feedback if it was made clear what performing artists were aiming to achieve in finding a more holistic and pleasing experience for the concert goer.

The Science of Cymatics

Cymatics proves the power of sound to generate structures and affect physical matter.

Dr. Horowitz cites Ernst Chladni as being the first person to observe the shapes and forms created by sound vibrations moving electrons to form and shape matter, including the human body.

Chladni was born in 1756, and was both a musician and physicist, who laid the foundations for the discipline within physics called acoustics – the science of sound. He published his work, Discoveries Concerning the Theory of music in 1787, showing how sounds could generate visible structures and geometric forms. His work has been built upon by Peter Petterson and acoustic physicist John Stuart Reid.

“Sound gives birth to light.”

John Stuart Reid

A fascinating talk with John Stuart Reid on cymatics and vibrational healing, hosted by the Cambridge Institute for Music Therapy:

“The spherical nature of audible sound: According to acoustic physics researcher, John Stuart Reid, all sounds that human’s hear are spherical in nature. He teaches that the term ‘sound wave’ gives a false impression that sound wiggles its way through air when in fact all audible sounds propagate spherically, which he terms ‘sound bubbles’. The leading edge of the bubble oscillates radially, and it is this expansion and contraction of the bubble that is the sound.”

Nassim Haramein

Holy Water – the pioneering work of Dr. Masaru Emoto

Water is an incredible substance, a substance integral to life that precipitates life; that carries memory and is conscious. 

New York Times bestselling author, Dr. Masaru Emoto evidenced through his experiments that water responds to positive prayers differently from harsh words, yielding intelligent messages viewable at 20,000 times magnification.

Pure structured water vibrates in 528Hz, as does the entire hydrated universe, including snowflakes, which are hexagonally shaped because of the tetrahedron-shaped atomic structure of water – H2O- bearing 3 atoms.

Our bodies are made up of around 75 percent water.

“There is nothing like water. In its gaseous state, it defies the laws of gravity. So vibrating water with the sound of 528 is sure to produce a miraculous blessing, especially when coupled with faithful heart-felt loving intention and prayer.”

Dr. Leonard Horowitz

528Hz for Physical and Emotional Healing

Listening to the solfeggio tones and especially 528Hz is beneficial for all-round health. There are two types of sound healing: psycho-acoustic (listening to music) and more profoundly, vibro-acoustic (using tuning forks and Tibetan singing bowls) to effect the health of DNA, cells and emotional issues. Humming also produces this healing, see the recent book The Humming Effect by Johnathan Goldman.

How to Tune Your Guitar to Play in 528Hz Frequency of Love:

528 in the Arts

Aristotle wrote of virtuous love in Physics, the book that purportedly started scientific enquiry in the 3rd Century B.C. The first letters of the title – Philia, (Φιλία) is Greek for love. The word in Greek uses the symbol for Phi Φ, a mathematical constant (1.618 rounded to 3 decimals), characterising nature and God as love.  Plato, Vitruvius, da Vinci and subsequent Pythagorean mystery school disciples shared his respect for phi, which was routinely used in physics and the arts to create ratios and proportions in music and architecture consistent with observations in nature.

Knowing that 528Hz is the Miracle note, ‘MI’ of the original solfeggio scale, could explain why Haydn’s 96th symphony (9+6=15 1+5=6) was given the sobriquet ‘the Miracle Symphony’.  The classical composers knew about the original solfeggio.

There is a possibly apocryphal story that claims that as Haydn was conducting his 96th symphony a large crystal chandelier fell from the ceiling into the audience. Miraculously, no-one was supposedly hurt. The musical Phantom of the Opera, also features this crashing chandelier, and the demonic ‘music of the night’, as opposed to 528 ‘Music of the Light’.

528Hz is fundamental to creation.

The DNA – Music Connection

DNA, the language of genetics is tied to music, the language of the universe.  A fascinating study of bioacoustics by Susumu  Ohno:

The ancient Solfeggio musical scale and the Perfect Circle of Sound 

According to Dr Horowitz, “You are a digital bio-holographic precipitation, crystallization, miraculous manifestation of Divine LOVE vibrations coming out of water.”

This video gives an interesting and historical take on the original solfeggio scale and the benefits of each frequency:

Healing with sound

I love Jonathan Goldman’s equation regarding sound healing:

FREQUENCY + INTENTION = HEALING and also VIBRATION + VISUALISATION = MANIFESTATION

Robert Edward Grant’s work is also showing a more elevated path for humanity. He has worked on musical pitch in relation to sacred geometry and the musical wave of time:

Samples of songs and music in 528Hz

528Hz Radio Station!

As Dr. Horowitz says, now we know about the miracle tone of 528Hz and these healing solfeggio frequencies we have a choice; either remain in dissonance or vibe to a new cosmic song!

“For all healing, mental or material, is attuning each atom of the body, each reflex of the brain forces, to the awareness of the divine that lies within each atom, each cell of the body.”

Edgar Cayce

#SundayBlogShare – The Sound of Silence

Some days there’s so much noise around me I think I’m going to lose my mind. Noise from thoughts, caterwauling from the kids, traffic, horns, sirens, TV, radio and so on. Some days I long for silence; to retreat into an inner sanctum, where there’s respite from the onslaught of the world. Meditation helps, and so does playing the violin. Sometimes I long to hear the sound of your voice. But sometimes only silence will do…

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

The sound of silence, substrate of creation…

Noise of nothingness filling, expanding senses,

Priming them to detect violent vibrations,

Scales of dainty decibels, sonorous caresses.

Listen well; distinguish subtle intonations,

Auditory input on waves of turbulent air,

A tendency to love pulsing impressions,

Emanating forth, emulating, wishing to share…

silence-harp-in-concert

Silence surrounds; the base note of existence…

Without that peace, would I appreciate sound?

Lilting of inner voice, harmony not dissonance,

A palette on which to speak, sing and listen is profound.

Silence: a constant companion, blank canvas for music,

The space between notes, said Claude Debussy,

Clasping violin, I perform my favourite acoustic,

Exploring the infinite waters of a fathomless sea.

silence-panorama

Sounds can nourish – biting into crunchy apple,

Or jangle cells, like long finger nails on a blackboard,

The terrifying cacophony of war, sound of battle,

Some are sweet, like a lover’s kiss, desired, adored.

Some are jolting, startling – a sudden, strident scream,

Soft tears of God; comforting, steady rain drops,

Splashing onto Earth, in relentless, rhythmic stream,

Solace for my soul, time to ponder, until it stops.

silence-rain

Sounds carry me to exotic, far flung places,

Where turbulent waves crash over distant lands,

Creatures howl and cry, endless echoes, many faces,

Inaudible grains of sand slip through my hands.

Floating on a breeze, flowers whisper the joy of scent,

Icy, cruel winds have their own sharp language,

Thunder fulminates across quivering landscapes, spent,

Hear my heartbeat; primordial thud – free from anguish.

silence-barn-thunderstorm

Life force emanates from all that is – eternal silence,

Out of the divine shroud a rustle, a breath: quiet, loud,

Familiar sounds bond to heart, enable resilience,

Earth’s endless maelstrom, amorphous as clouds.

Energy fields to immerse in, align with…

No tone goes unheard by the universe,

Flight – the whirring of gossamer wings will give,

A soprano’s broken heart, on an audience does disperse.

silence-maria-bayo-orchestra

Silence sets the stage, from birth to old age,

In-tune with tranquil Self, absorb oscillations,

To travel down memory lane, from same page,

Exulting in emotions of pitch and modulation.

Healing human wounds, retreating back to source,

Stillness resides there, diaphanous spark of essence,

Surrender to the vibrations, relinquish force,

Return always, into the sound of silence…

What Happened When I Experienced Sound Therapy…

We all need a little TLC now and then, and my dear friend Laurelle Rond, a highly gifted lady who is probably the most talented, knowledgeable, kind and wise person I’ve ever had the privilege to know, was on hand to provide it.

Laurelle portrait 4Laurelle Rond began her career as a musician, singer and writer. She has developed a unique method of healing and self-discovery using sound, voice therapy and story work. With forty years of experience as a teacher and healer, she is also a published novelist and has recorded twelve CDs.

Laurelle runs meditation classes, has a private practice as a sound therapist and vocal coach and runs self-discovery workshops.

I was coming apart at the seams emotionally and Laurelle put me back together again. Literally!

Not in a physical Humpty-Dumpty way, but in an energetic way.

Quantum Physics states that our bodies are a constantly vibrating mass of atoms at the sub-atomic level. The nuts and bolts of our physical make-up are the exact same ingredients that constitute the entire universe:  we are literally one with the substrate of all that is! We are as amazing as the stars and planets that we stare up in awe at on a clear night.

Milky Way

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form, and on that basis we are as eternal and immortal as the cosmos.

However, if our energy is knocked out of balance it can become stagnant, which is when health issues can arise. Emotional and childhood trauma, stress, childbirth and all manner of events can splinter our main energy point, so that it hampers energy from travelling effectively through our Chakra system.

Perhaps I should explain, what Laurelle did for me was to bring my energy vortex back into wholeness by re-aligning my assemblage point.

The assemblage point is the epicentre of the body’s energy field, which lies roughly in the centre of the chest.

What is an assemblage point?

I didn’t really know what to expect, and I’d like to say I came away fully re-charged, but apparently my reaction was a good one! I’ll not keep you guessing any longer…

Assemblage Point re-alignment

When I arrived Laurelle greeted me with her usual warm smile and we chatted in a safe environment for a bit about my childhood and current situation. It seemed my visit was well timed; a particularly traumatic event from my early childhood had been triggered. After a decade of meditation I thought I had cleared most things, but this was sitting heavy on my chest, causing some issues with my lungs and voice.

There is a tendency to bury traumatic feelings and beliefs that arise in early childhood as they are too painful to deal with at the time. However they can get buried deep in the psyche and we become unconscious of them. I had abandonment issues, which manifested in a very emotional reaction when I told Laurelle about my experience as a six year old girl.

In my mind’s eye I saw my younger self as she sat at a window watching her father walk down the path, away from their home, feeling like she was at fault and that she must have done something very wrong.  She hadn’t meant to upset her dad. Her world was crashing in on her in that moment, she knew she would never live with him again.

I hadn’t even thought about it for a very long time, yet it affected me very profoundly when I spoke of it in a loving, non-judgmental environment. Then Laurelle took me through to her sound therapy room.

Laurelle bowl room

The curtains had been drawn. I settled in repose on her extremely comfortable treatment couch and she pulled a soft blanket over me. I was told I could relax and it was fine if I fell asleep, but that she would need to gently wake me at a certain point in the treatment when she would ask me to do an energy lock so that she could align my Assemblage Point.

Planetary Tuning Forks

Planetary Tuning Forks

It was quiet for a second as I lay there, eyes closed, ready for Laurelle to work her magic. And work it she did. I soon became aware of different sounds passing around me. They seemed unintrusive and comforting, they calmed my overactive mind.

I remember hearing what sounded like beads shaking, tuning forks, Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls and Laurelle’s beautiful, pure voice.

All the while my eyes remained closed as the sounds infiltrated my whole being.

Laurelle placed a crystal on my chest and I gradually felt the area warm up until after a few minutes my whole upper body seemed to be radiating intense heat. It was a very welcoming sensation! I had no control over my body or my mind at this point; I was in Laurelle’s capable and caring hands!

I was then told to tighten my muscles as Laurelle had explained to me at the beginning, which I did for a few seconds, after which I was able to return to my deeply relaxed state. More pleasant sounds passed through me, I was enjoying the way the healing vibrations were affecting me.

Afterwards Laurelle left me all cosy and sleepy.  It took me a few minutes to re-focus my eyes when I opened them, I didn’t want to move, I felt so calm…

Eventually I rose and sat with Laurelle in her lounge. It was at this point something very strange happened to me. The all-encompassing warmth that had filled me dissipated and I started shivering slightly. Quite quickly the trembling progressed and before I knew it I was shaking uncontrollably all over. Laurelle pulled a fleece blanket round me and we sat together quietly as my body did its thing. My mind was empty while my body felt like it was in overdrive. This went on for about ten minutes.

Laurelle explained that this was my body’s way of releasing pent up trauma; a natural, physical reaction that was both healthy and normal and that I should let it run its course. I had a drink of water and Laurelle told me I would feel tired for about 48 hours.

I spent a few hours snuggled under my duvet that afternoon and slept like a baby. Gradually over the weekend the heaviness I felt in my chest and limbs disappeared and my physical, mental and spiritual flow returned. As I write this post I’m feeling fully restored and firing on all cylinders again!

Laurelle harp garden close up

I’ll definitely be going back for a ‘tune up’. It was an incredible experience that is hard to put into words. It affects you at a fundamental level and regardless of what’s going on in your mind your cells respond…

I admire Laurelle on so many levels, as a human being, as a teacher, as a musician and healer. She understands me. What more can anyone ask of a therapist and friend?

If you live in the Home Counties area, do get in touch with Laurelle and give it a try. I guarantee you it will be one of the most worthwhile experiences you will ever have – completely life changing.

Wired for Sound

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” ~ Nikola Tesla

I hope to furnish you with some sound advice in this post!

I recently learnt that every atom, cell and organ of our bodies generates its own electromagnetic field, a set of specific vibrational frequencies unique to each organ, so it could be said that your entire being is resonating like a kind of biological orchestra.

cymatics

Humans have evolved on our home planet over millennia, and as such, our bodies function best in a vibratory environment ranging from 7.813Hz (cycles per second) to around 40 Hz, the sound signature of Earth. Yes, our planet sings too, and this frequency range is known as the Schumann Resonance.

At any given moment about 2,000 thunderstorms roll over Earth, producing some 50 flashes of lightning every second. Each lightning burst creates electromagnetic waves that begin to circle around Earth captured between Earth’s surface and a boundary about 60 miles up. Some of the waves – if they have just the right wavelength – combine, increasing in strength, to create a repeating atmospheric heartbeat known as Schumann resonance.

NASA are now exploring sound and light therapy to assist astronauts with bone loss due to prolonged time in a zero gravity environment, as well as a raft of other healing applications.

The whole universe is a cosmological symphony! Quantum physics tells us that everything is made up of energy, and that energy has varying frequencies. Light and sound waves are interchangeable energies, meaning physical, mental and emotional imbalances can be healed and re-harmonised using sound, light and colour to heal us at a cellular level.

“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.” ~ Albert Einstein

Sacred Sounds 

I recently met an amazing lady who opened me up to a whole new world: one of pure resonance. As a practitioner of Sound Therapy she explained to me how sound affects every area of our life. She also taught me about the remarkable healing power of the human voice.

The voices of ancient Gregorian Chant were said to utilise ancient sounds known as the Solfeggio Scale, which consisted of 6 sacred tones: Ut – Re – Mi – Fa – Sol – La.

It’s a fascinating subject, and I found a great website that explains all about the Solfeggio Scale and its origins with the medieval monk, Guido d’Arezzo. The syllables of the scale were taken from the first of each Latin Stanza of the hymn written by Benedictine, Paulus Diaconus.

The Hymn to St. John The Baptist, Ut Qeant Laxis:

Tuning & Temperament

The whole subject of tuning seems to be quite complex, and probably worthy of a separate post. I thought it would be good to provide a flavour of the issues and some links and videos to explain something I don’t fully understand. From what I can gather it boils down to harmony, and what sounds better to the ear and the soul, but there’s lots of maths behind it. Stay tuned!!

What’s so special about 528Hz?

This is the third tone in the Solfeggio Scale, said to be the ‘miracle’ (Mi) note, associated with DNA repair. In standard western tuning of A-440 Hz the closest one can get is C (above middle C) which equates to 512Hz.

The A-432Hz vs. A-440Hz Debate

In reading up about the Solfeggio scale it became apparent that many believe the standard western tuning of A-440Hz to be in dissonance with these original frequencies. Apparently Mozart and Verdi, going right back to the ancient Egyptians used 432Hz tuning. Baroque tuning was around 415Hz. It was never an exact science as the technology to ascertain the exact pitch was not invented in those days so they used their ears and rudimentary tuning forks, which were invented in 1711.

Even the so called modern standard concert pitch of A-440Hz varies around the world. The Boston Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic are known to tune their pitch to A-442Hz, and classical German and Austrian orchestras (as well as some other continental European orchestras), tune up to A-443Hz.

Here is Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor, KV 550 played in A-432 tuning, see what you think:

Milton Mermikides puts forward a very balanced and comprehensive article concerning the pitch debate.

Just Intonation (JI) and 12 Tone Equal Temperament

This is a fairly complex subject. I don’t want to bamboozle you (because it certainly made my head spin when I investigated these historical methods of intonation – including Pythagorean), so I think it’s better to provide some links by people who really know what they are talking about and a couple of videos to put the points across. Just Intonation explained by Kyle Gann.

Tuning Theory, Just Intonation:

Goeyvaerts Trio about ‘just Intonation’ in Arvo Pärt’s Stabat Mater:

The difference in sound and aesthetics is undeniable. Personally, I found JI imbued the music with a spiritual quality, and I felt peaceful when listening..

Eben Goresko isn’t the best pianist, but he does an interesting presentation showing how classical repertoire sounds when performed with historical tunings. Musical excerpts and demonstrations of Equal Temperament classical piano compositions performed in Well and Modified Meantone Temperaments:

“If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe.” ~ Nikola Tesla

Sound Therapy 

Sound therapy works in a similar vein to meditation in that it utilises the law of entrainment. Groups of women living together will notice that over time their menstrual cycles will start to synchronise, just as our internal body systems fall into synchronised rhythms. Even our biological clock seems to fall in line with the rhythm of the Earth relative to the sun, so that we become attuned to our environment.

Have you ever noticed when two people walk together for a while will fall into step with each other?

Entrainment was first discovered in 1665 by Dutch scientist and mathematician, Christiaan Huygens, when he performed an experiment with a room full of pendulum clocks. He set them up one by one, and when he returned the next day he found that their pendulums were swaying in synchronisation. From this experiment he surmised that closely related rhythmic cycles synchronise to conserve energy.

The phenomena of entrainment means that any energy systems (whether it be biological, electrical, musical, geographical, meterological etc. will entrain if exposed to each other for long enough.

sound-therapy bowls

There are two main types of treatment, sonic and non-sonic. Sonic treatment involves the use of Himalayan bowls (Tibetan singing bowls), gongs and crystal bowls which produce sine waves. They give off pure sound. These act as tuning key for the Chakras along with the human voice in the form of mantras.

The non-sonic treatment involves the use of specialist tuning forks, and can be directed towards subconscious reprogramming as well as physical healing.

Sound and light therapy is used to heal a variety of physical and emotional conditions, such as arthritis, cancer, etc. and can act as an energiser, to help provide motivation for giving up smoking and other self-sabotaging habits. Disease can occur when our subtle energies are blocked. Emotional problems, stress, anxiety, pollution and poor nutrition can all contribute to lower energy, and this manifests eventually as physical ailments.

In my opinion energy medicine should not be considered ‘alternative’, it should be considered ‘mainstream’.

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” ~ Nikola Tesla

Sound Phenomena

The phenomenon of Sonoluminescence occurs when sound is applied to a bubble in liquid which can produce a bright light. The theory is that the collapsing bubble generates an imploding shock wave that compresses and heats the gas at the centre of the bubble to create an intensely high temperature.

Cymatics is the process of visualising sound. Sound affects matter. A short TED talk that explains what it is and how it used:

A cool visual demonstration of Cymatics. Science Vs. Music by Nigel Stanford:

We have all experienced how a beautiful piece of classical music or opera can induce an emotional response: tears, euphoria, calmness and dreaminess at the top end of the scale (excuse the pun!) down to agitation, anxiety and fear from loud, harsh and dissonant noises. Sound and music also have a very powerful link to memory as well as mood.

I wonder if the origin of the phrase, “I slept soundly,” is some kind of subconscious reference to our bodies vibrating in a state of perfect harmony or a link to the divine. That feeling of total rejuvenation and refreshment…

The sound of one of my children crying or screaming puts me on edge like nothing else can. It seems crazy to wake to the sound of a jarring alarm clock, just as it’s incredibly comforting lying down and listening to the sound of rain drops on a window pane. For me, nature provides her own beautiful music.

There’s something magical about the sound of birds singing, the swoosh of the ocean as waves crash onto a beach, or the rumble of pebbles as the waves recede and pull them back into the foamy water. Nature’s sounds can be both violent and gentle. Thunder still has the power to startle me, just as the soft swish and sway of leaves on branches bending in the wind are quite hypnotic. It’s wonderful to sit in a garden with the sweet scent of honeysuckle carrying on a breeze as the bees buzz around you. Being outdoors can have such an energising effect on us.

From a human perspective I love how contagious laughter is. Sound affects us in every area of our lives. We are literally wired for sound!

I hope you find your frequency…

“There is in souls a sympathy with sounds:

And as the mind is pitch’d the ear is pleased

With melting airs, or martial, brisk or grave;

Some chord in unison with what we hear

Is touch’d within us, and the heart replies.” ~ William Cowper
