The History of Sound Healing

Sound has been used as a healing force for thousands of years. All ancient civilizations used sound for healing. Traditional cultures still surviving today understand the remarkable healing power that lies in sound.

In the Bible we are told that David played his harp to lift King Saul’s depression. Egyptian papyri over 2,600 years old refer to incantations as cures for infertility and rheumatic pain.

The ancient Greeks believed music had the power to heal body and soul. They used the flute and the lyre for treating illnesses such as gout and sciatica. It is reported that Alexander the Great’s sanity was restored by music played on the lyre. There is an ancient Greek saying, ‘Men have song as a physician for pain.’

Pythagoras used special songs and incantations with particular melodies and rhythms, to cure diseases of the body and mind.

A Present History – The founding of APOGEE Acu-Tone™

Sound as a 'resolution' was conceived in the innocent perceptions of a seven year old when listening and viewing, for the first time, a live orchestra 'tuning up' right before her eyes. The marvel of creating harmony, at that moment, defined her life's quest on how to 'tune up the world." Since the world is made up of people, she thought that if people were well tuned, then harmony would become real. "YES," she affirmed, that was a good place to start.

The year was 1945, she had lived through World War II, the air raid drills, the sound of aircraft overhead, the sirens and the black out drills. She remembered listening to her own heart beating when under the bed during a black out drill. Listening, feeling, observing, the tone of speech, the body tone, sounds and people, people and sounds guided her growing sensitivity and awareness. Research, research, practice, practice, development, integration, and so a truly holistic paradigm has been put forth.

Thirty eight years later the vision of this seven year old was realized as she introduced APOGEE Acu-Tone™ at the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science, followed by a tour in 1996, supported by Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment. The year 2013 marks a thirty year practice of APOGEE Acu-Tone™ bringing documented benefit to hundreds that have availed themselves of the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ experience. This seven year old, now a seasoned practitioner, is the acclaimed Rose Marie Raccioppi, founder and director of APOGEE Acu-Tone™.

What is APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Sound Healing?

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’.

APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Resonance and Cell Communication

Every organ, bone, and cell in the body has its own resonant frequency. Each Chakra or nerve plexus has its associated tonal frequency. Together they make up a composite frequency like the instruments of an orchestra. When one Chakra or one organ in the body is out of tune it will affect the whole body. Through the process of entrainment each organ is brought into harmony with the rest of the body, resulting in a feeling of ease, relaxation, and a newly felt command of self and well being.

APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Entrainment Transformation Principle

The Entrainment Transformation Principle, a physics phenomenon of resonance, first observed in the 17th century, has an effect on all of us. Entrainment is defined as the tendency for two oscillating bodies to lock into phase so that they vibrate in harmony. It is also defined as a synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles. The principle of entrainment is universal, appearing in chemistry, pharmacology, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, astronomy, architecture and more. The classic example shows individual pulsing heart muscle cells. When they are brought close together, they begin pulsing in synchrony.

The principle of entrainment explains how sound healing works. A harmonious sound projected at a person who is in a state of disharmony will eventually bring them into resonance with the harmonious sound. Our atoms, molecules, cells, glands and organs all have a vibrational frequency. Sounds from outside our body will stimulate sympathetic vibration in the molecules and cells of our body.

The APOGEE Acu-Tone™ experience begins with our own heartbeat and awareness of breath. Seven sounds, each vibrating to notes C to B are applied to acupuncture points, cranium points, chakras and meridians.

Chakras, Acupuncture Points, Cranium Points and Meridians, offer fields, points and pathways of passage for the sound. Each sound provided is in response to the need of the body. The body provides the information that guides both the giver and the receiver.

The Benefits of APOGEE Acu-Tone™

The benefits of APOGEE Acu-Tone™ developed by pioneering Rose Marie Raccioppi, have been documented by improved awareness of self, significant stress reduction, deep relaxation, pain relief, and a consistently verbalized and visible improvement in balance, centeredness, health, accompanied by a feeling of well being and renewal.

"…When force of circumstance upsets your balance, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to harmony will increase your mastery of it.." Marcus Aurelius

The Heart ~ The Sounding Chamber of BEING ~ Vibrational Medicine

THOTH Weighing of the Heart

And so the wisdom of THOTH... the Heart ever the embodiment of the TRUTH lived, the BEAUTY known, the SPIRIT pure ... the sounding vibration of SELF...

The heart is indeed the sounding chamber of BEING. Heartfelt emotions are real, ever as our perceptions define them. Joy, pain, trauma, stress, love, abuse, care, emanate a spectrum of vibrations. Each vibration bears its life giving or life compromising effect. Vibrations that sustain healthy cell communication, balance, harmony, pain relief, stress reduction, are indeed welcomed by body, mind and spirit. Each organ, each organ system, each chakra, each meridian, carries vibratory messages. When all systemic systems entrain* with their balancing vibration, wellbeing is brought forth. 

The APOGEE Acu-Tone™ evaluation identifies the chakra, the organ system, the meridians, the acupuncture points, that are at issue. This assessment defines which tone/frequency is to be applied to identified cranium points and acupuncture points. Entrainment is the result of the application of tone/frequency via calibrated tuning forks onto the determined points of receipt. Entrainment is experienced as a calming resonance, as a state of renewal, as feeling balanced, energized, awakened, with a deeper awareness of self. The documented results, the testimonials from those who have experienced the process,  certainly speak to the myriad of welcomed benefits.

Could a 7 year old have known...

Could a seven year old, decades ago have known that sound was to be the medicine of the future when she said, "I am meant to tune up the world."  So motivated by this quest of her younger days, as an adult, she has spent decades experimenting with tuning forks and the effects they had on a myriad of sensibilities. In 1983, she packaged her experiences and findings into an attunement practice named, APOGEE Acu-Tone™. She was 'discovered' and invited to present her findings and her work at the 1990 International Congress of the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science. Her pioneering work in sound technology, with the use of calibrated tuning forks, received the attention of the Edgar Casey Foundation/ A.R.E., Association for Research and Enlightenment. She was requested to be a major presenter at a series of  workshops offered by the Heartland Region in 1996.  The effectiveness of her work was recognized,  and so for a year following she administered APOGEE Acu-Tone™ sessions at the A.R.E. of New York Edgar Cayce Center. Integrating the tenets of neuroscience, consciousness and well being, she has put forth a dynamic, exceedingly beneficial, and documented paradigm of sound application that has resulted in pain relief, stress reduction, energy balancing, deep relaxation, facial vibrancy, expanded peripheral vision, improved learning, and a consistently reported feeling of well being for scores and scores of children and adults.

APOGEE Acu-Tone™ - Solitons and Microtubules 
to heal and restore our latent health and corresponding state of presence 

Carl Florin C.Nth

Health,  Impressions and Conscious Experience:

What immediately comes to mind when we hear the word impressions? It is likely to be thought of as a more archaic way of expressing perception. Though today this use of the word appears to have fallen out in favor. When describing one’s role in an active sense we employ it more often in this way, “the speaker’s presentation made a big impression upon me." The word nonetheless retains a more descriptive way of describing perception. Upon closer examination we see the two more implicit meanings: a physical change on the one hand, and a change in  the focus or content of our awareness. At the present time we reserve the word perception for stimuli, which now more readily expresses these qualities.

A moments notice shows how an impression is related to physical imprint or change of structure. By further reflection we can see that a pattern or code in energy was delivered. In any case we know that in the common use of impression something noteworthy or memorable is invariably preceded and comprised of stimuli. Chladini Plates show this effect vividly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YedgubRZva8 A metal plate with fine sand resting on it will  form a distinct geometrical  pattern corresponding to the frequency of sound impinging upon it. We can see directly the core pattern or essence of this vibration immediately revealed. For some this may conjure up notions of platonic forms, eternal static blueprints for every dynamic manifestation of a given eternal pattern. The most amorphous energy invisible to the eye suddenly reveals its essence. We might wonder how does this visible pattern reveal the  sound which has so effected us?

In a previous installment of APOGEE Learning Blog, (APOGEE Learning: Finding Spirit in the Fabric of Space and Time - Microtubules and APOGEE Acu-Tone™ -
http://apogeelearning.blogspot.com/2012/04/finding-spirit-in-fabric-of-space-and.html) we explored how the latest science explains the transformation experienced with APOGEE Acu-Tone™. In that summary we learned that Microtubules, components of the cytoskeleton,  are ideally suited for resonating sound.  As if perfectly manufactured tuning forks of the cell, a new expansive way to explain a mode of reception on the micro-level of life has opened up. We can begin to see  how physiological processes of the cell, like the pattern in the sand, are in some sense also being transformed by the stimuli of experience.

Perhaps the most essential meaning that stands out in the word impression is this notion of Transformation. We say we are moved by music but we seldom realize how sound literally inscribes itself upon our being. How does the sound of outside become the sound of our conscious experience? How does any stimuli at all become the sound guiding the activity of our cells?

Solitons and Microtubules : Micro-Organs of Sound and Electricity:

The Soliton model in neuroscience is a very new model that successfully explains how signals are conducted within neurons.  It explains electrical signals moving across the cell's membrane in the form of particular kinds of sound (or density) pulses known as solitons. The soliton model therefore presents a direct challenge to the widely accepted Hodgkin–Huxley model which declares that signals travel as action potentials: voltage-gated ion channels in the membrane open and allow ions to rush into the cell, leading to the opening of other nearby ion channels in this way propagating the signal in a fundamentally electrical manner.

"It is undeniable that an electrical signal can be observed when an action potential propagates along a neuron. The Soliton model explains this as follows: the traveling soliton locally changes density and thickness of the membrane, and since the membrane contains many charged and polar substances, this will result in an electrical effect, akin to piezoelectricity. A Soliton is a density wave that neither changes shape or velocity as it travels therefore, it loses no energy or information." - membrane biophysics group,  Niels Bohr Institute. http://www.nbi.ku.dk/english/

What this means is once we percieve, stimuli has been transduced into electrical signals free to travel along nerves. Immediately expressed in the form of sound waves the information of the signal now takes upon a new meaning at a critical level of cell operation. As the signal from outside becomes a nerve signal, this signal as we have learned is further transformed into a complex orchestra of sound pulses at the cell level.  It becomes obvious why this mode of transmission has radical import on all cell functions, cell commands and cell behavoir. This is due to the fact that Cytoskeletal elements interact extensively and intimately with cellular membranes. Soliton Sound pulses in the lipid membrane of cells propogate directly into the cytoskeleton body to alter the cells electrical, structural, metabolic state. It determines the informational state of the cell itself, in that such a signaling  has the power to elicit and activate critical information from nuclear DNA used in repair and even ordinarily non- accessible powers of regeneration. The capacity of the cell to maintain itself depends on communication from nuclear DNA using a very minute percent of available material. This suggests a new and direct availability of the potentials for regenerative healing and conscious states alike.

Today, it is possible to design and transmit signal information to the level of cells to  hitherto unimaginable influence upon the body.  For those readers bold enough to grapple with these ideas and really explore these questions will be granted  entry to some of the most important  revelations. Imagine now, what would happen if a way to transmit sound directly into nerves were possible so as to bypass the electrical level of signal information in the body? Further imagine a way to use sound so as to  link nerve and major processing centers in the body by the same signal? Assembling them instantly to form new circuits that before were completely unavailable? Then you will have an approximate understanding of how APOGEE Acu-Tone™ operates on the physiology to heal and restore our latent health and corresponding state of presence.


APOGEE Learning™ is a revolutionary educational service and integrated treatment modality. APOGEE Acu-Tone™ is a decisively visionary somatic attunement method based on sound. Uniquely deciphering and connecting vital signalling processes in the body, APOGEE Acu-Tone™ reaches an unprecedented grasp over higher regulatory functions unlocking regenerative capabilities.  Our consultation was employed to analyze and counsel proper strategy for incorporation of this method.
