Quotes on Sound and Vibration ~ in Resonant Accord with APOGEE Acu-Tone™ ~ Shared Echoes of Heart



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. "


~




Don G. Campbell, The Roar of Silence 

" To enter into the initiation of sound, of vibration and mindfulness, is to take a giant step toward consciously knowing the soul. There are hundreds of accurate models for this great journey inward. Each requires belief and discipline as well as the will to allow the inner and outer worlds to relate. Listening, learning, study, and practice are important tools. But we need the courage to enter into ourselves with the great respect and mystery that combines the faith of a child, the abandon of a mystic, and the true wisdom of an old shaman." 

Edgar Cayce (1928), There Is A River by Thomas Sugrue

" The human body is made up of electronic vibrations, with each atom and element of the body, each organ and organism, having its electronic unit of vibration necessary for the sustenance of, and equilibrium in, that particular organism. Each unit, then, being a cell or a unit of life in itself has the capacity of reproducing itself by the first law as is known of reproduction-division. When a force in any organ or element of the body becomes deficient in its ability to reproduce that equilibrium necessary for the sustenance of physical existence and its reproduction becomes deficient in electronic energy. This may come by injury or by disease, received by external forces. It may come from internal forces through lack of eliminations produced in the system or by other agencies to meet its requirements in the body." 

Olivea Dewhurst-Maddock, Sound Therapy

" Healing relies on an openness to the whole; a willingness to relinquish whatever frustrates or delays -- mistaken ideas, negative feelings, poor diet, inadvisable lifestyle -- and to accept a wider spectrum of responses with new ideas, experience, and priorities. Healing is communication..."

Mitchell Gaynor, M.D., Sounds of Healing 

" You can look at disease as a form of disharmony. And there's no organ system in the body that's not affected by sound and music and vibration." 

Hazrat Inayat Khan, Mysticism of Sound 

" 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." 

Rose Marie Raccioppi, APOGEE Acu-Tone

"Harmony... the accord of Strength, Power, Beauty, Grace... a Oneness of Being."

APOGEE Acu-Tone™ and The APOGEE Paradigm™ ~ integration of sound as a healing art.




Unity, accord, entrainment, the inherent potential and effect of sound upon body, mind and substance. These the very principles known by ancient cultures. Sound as the voice of Creation, respected, harnessed and used to build, to move, to structure. These principles lived in all aspects of development by the ancient Egyptians. Sound known as primal power, as form, as structure, as cell communication within all living forces. The principles of sound/vibration known and cultivated to serve mankind by ancient Egyptian, Chinese and Indian cultures, are integrated into the processes and practices of APOGEE Acu-Tone™, ancient teachings in modern day application.

Cultures of both the East and West, across time,  have and continue to acknowledge sound as a healing modality. It is well known that the ancient civilizations of India, the Orient, Africa, the Aboriginals and American Indians,  embraced sound among the healing arts. Bells, chimes, bowls, and chanting are offered to this very day by Tibetans. In Bali, Indonesia, the gamelan, gong, and drum are offered. The Australian Aboriginals and Native American shamans practice vocal toning, sounding with instruments fashioned from nature. The priests of ancient Egypt chanted vowel sounds to sound the body. Respectful of the WISDOM of the ancients, APOGEE Acu-Tone™ has integrated these timeless benefits of sound into a modern day offering. The year 2013 marks the 30th year anniversary of the founding of APOGEE Acu-Tone™. Its time has come. Research, documentation, and ongoing testimonials speak to its pioneering development and exemplary benefits.

Spinal Resonance ~ A Sounding Accord ~ Relief for Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain ... The APOGEE Paradigm™


Back Pain ~ APOGEE Acu-Tone™ in Response

The adjective 'chronic' is often associated with back pain, be it of the cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine. If we appreciate that the spine is the relay station in communication with each nerve plexus, (re: Nerve Plexus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_plexus)  and associated organ systems, we certainly can appreciate that spinal health is core to well being. 

When a 'back pain sufferer' is referred to me, one's medical history and treatment history is taken into account before any of the services and procedures of APOGEE Acu-Tone™ are suggested.  Often it is stated, "...I have tried everything... nothing seems to help... it may help for a day or so... but the pain always comes back." I have gone on to explain that a 'quick fix' may be just that. I emphasize how important it is to understand cause and effect, as it relates to our habits of movement, our mindfulness, our belief systems, our emotions, our  attitudes, our eating habits, our perceived stressors, all influencing in their own special way the signals given to our body. Our body is ever in response to the myriad of inputs it receives, moment by moment. 

When, most recently, I learned of the pioneering work of, Kenneth K. Hansraj, M.D., as presented in his newly released book, "Keys to an Amazing Life: Secrets of the Cervical Spine," I was indeed most heartened. The tenets of care, knowledge to be embraced, practices to consider, life changes to put into place, in order to bring forward a healthy spine across the age span are those I most certainly subscribe to in the offerings of APOGEE Acu-Tone.™

Providing there is no counter indication, an APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Consultation is provided. Through the use of the body's own bio-feedback responses, each nerve plexus,  also known as  a 'chakra,'  is assessed for its relative strength and resultant flow of energy. The findings of this evaluative experience, guides the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ process. Vibrating calibrated tuning forks are placed on spinal, cranium, acupuncture and meridian points of the body. Tones are specific to the particular nerve plexus and vertebra. Through the process of entrainment, pain is relieved, energy flow is balanced, stressors are reduced, and a reported sense of relief and well being are brought forth.

I am pleased to report the consistency of benefits stated by those who have experienced the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ process. I welcome your perusal of posted testimonials. Yes, APOGEE Acu-Tone™ has been welcomed for its relief of pain brought to those who have suffered, "chronic back, neck and shoulder pain."

The body is brought to a deep state of relaxation and feelings of well being.

An added word: APOGEE Acu-Tone Spinal Resonance™


When we experience discomfort, pain, tension, or a malady, it is the body’s way of alerting us to need. Every cell, every organ, every system, has its particular communication. Communication can be balanced, flowing, bringing a feeling of wellbeing. Communication can be blocked, responsive to need, and experienced as a myriad of symptoms. Cell communication is the key to healthy function. Cell communication is a vibratory message. There is an inherent intelligence for survival. It is the intelligence of the cell. Our moment to moment feeling is the summation of what signals each cell, each organ, each system of our body.

APOGEE Acu-Tone Spinal Resonance™ is based on the principle of entrainment (biology: of a rhythm or something that varies rhythmically) cause (another) gradually to fall into synchronism with it. ) The restorative frequencies are applied via the application of two tuning forks on two specific corresponding points. Such a process brings the restorative frequencies in communication, opening the blocked pathways, as one point application entrains with the other point application. 

There is a feeling of deep relaxation, pain and stiffness are eased, a new sense of energy is experienced.  All will become clear as the process takes place.

APOGEE Acu-Tone™ ~ Vibrational Sound Therapy: What is known ~ what is applied ~ Vibration and the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Paradigm:

Reference is made to 'harmonic cell communication," and so an added word on HARMONY...

"While with an eye made quiet by the power
Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
We see into the life of things."

William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 – 23 April 1850) was a major English Romantic poet.

As I read these words of William Wordsworth, the depths of poetry were revealed, the mission of my life's work as a sound therapist, and my passion for poetic expression, became ONE. HARMONY be the questing state of BEING. This the APOGEE Paradigm™, defined when I was but seven years of age as my calling, my destiny. The poet, the educator, the artist, the advocate, the activist, the exploration, the discovery, the receiving, the giving, the offerings... each and all to bring HARMONY...

Be of...

Heart
Aspiration
Revelation
Manifestation
Omnipresence
Nurture
Yielding ... to the light, the grace, the resounding pulse of Life itself.

Brighten your mood, bring vibrancy to your face and a bounce to your step... The Sphenoid and Pelvic Bones...The APOGEE Paradigm™.


“As Above, so Below; as Below, so Above.”
The Principle of Correspondence
The Kybalion


Female Pelvis



Male Pelvis



Sphenoid Bone


Bone as Form and Conductor

The structure of bone as form and conductor of sound has led to the development and refinement of APOGEE Acu-Tone.™ By placing calibrated vibrating tuning forks to specific points on the sphenoid bone and ear, facial vibrancy comes forward. By placing onto the pelvic bones, an ease of gait, a more secure sense of balance and a sure footed stance comes forward.

The sphenoid and the pelvic bones are themselves resonant chambers. Each articulate with other bones and both house and protect organ systems. The specific tuning fork vibrations brought to these bones carry harmonic cell signaling,  experienced and reported as a deep sense of relaxation, renewal, and well being. 


As one observes the sphenoid bone of the skull and the pelvic bones,  one can only marvel at the divinity of these structures, wings indeed, and so the soaring intention of creation made manifest.

"That which is above is as that which is below,  and that which is below is as that which is above,  to perform the miracles of the One Thing."  The Emerald Table of Hermes Trismegistus*

YES,  Brighten your mood, bring vibrancy to your face and a bounce to your step...  Restorative Frequencies are carried by bone to the nervous system, and organs of the body. Bone conducts, and we are tuned and orchestrated for wellbeing.
