Sound Mind ~ Sound Body
Leonardo daVinci
" Do you know that our soul is
composed of harmony? "
Plato
" Rhythm and harmony find their way
into the inward places of the soul. "
Marcus Aurelius
" He who lives in harmony with
himself lives in harmony with the world. "
" A person does not hear
sound only through the ears; he hears sound through every pore of his body. It
permeates the entire being, and according to its particular influence
either slows or quickens the rhythm of the blood circulation; it either wakens
or soothes the nervous system. It arouses a person to greater passions or
it calms him by bringing him peace. According to the sound and its
influence a certain effect is produced. Sound becomes visible in the form
of radiance. This shows that the same energy which goes into the form of
sound before being visible is absorbed by the physical body. In that way the
physical body recuperates and becomes charged with new magnetism."
Hazrat Inayat Khan, Mysticism of Sound.
All ancient civilizations used
sound for healing. Traditional cultures still surviving today understand the
remarkable healing power that lies in sound. Sound healing is the
therapeutic application of sound frequencies to the body/mind of a person with
the intention of bringing them into a state of harmony and health. The
dictionary defines ‘harmony’ as ‘congruity of parts to their whole or to one
another’. ‘Health’ is defined as ‘the state of being bodily and mentally
vigorous and free of disease’.
Dr Alfred Tomatis (1920–2001) the
French ear, nose and throat specialist, devoted over 50 years to understanding
the ear and its function. He held that the ear is the most important of all our
sense organs. The ear controls the body’s sense of balance, rhythm and movement
and is the conductor of the entire nervous system. In an APOGEE Acu-Tone™
session, sound vibration, via tuning forks are applied to specific points on
and around the ear.
Through the medulla, the auditory
nerve connects with all the muscles of the body. Hence, muscle tone,
equilibrium, flexibility and vision are affected by sound. Through the vagus
nerve, the inner ear connects with the larynx, heart, lungs, stomach, liver,
bladder, kidneys, small intestine and large intestine. Every organ, bone, and
cell in the body has its own resonant frequency. Together they make up a
composite frequency like the instruments of an orchestra. When one organ in the
body is out of tune it will affect the whole body.
Through the use of specifically
calibrated tuning forks applied to meridians, acupuncture points and cranium
points, the recipient is brought to a reported and visible state of balance,
centeredness, and wellbeing. As with a piano, or any fine instrument, one's
body can be tuned to a state of accord and balance. Applying the vibrations of
tuning forks brings about changes in the body’s biochemistry, bringing the
nervous system, muscle tone and organs into harmonic balance. The body is
brought to a deep state of relaxation and feelings of wellbeing.
Yes, sensibility, symptom, pain,
pleasure, are the artifacts of vibration and vibratory states. Our body speaks
the consciousness of mind and our mind is in resonance or dissonance with the
sounding signals of our body.
