In the beginning, was thought. Then thought become desire we harbour and life into being, for where desire is, there is life and where there is no desire, there is no life. Desire became Allurement, and as a result of this Love came into being, for where there is Allurement, there is Love. Love became Word. From Word came the primordial Sound by which the world was created and is sustained.
What is sound
In the easiest of definition, sounds are waves or vibrations that ripple through the air and provide human beings with one of the most effective and vital ways of communicating with the nervous systems of other creatures, including other people. The nervous system controls the body as it receives information from the brain, essentially telling separate parts of the body how to react in a given situation. For example, when you hear the sound of an alarm, your whole body reacts in seconds to a perceived threat. A variation of this same sound can send a signal to the brain that makes you feel excited.
The sound in itself is a powerful force that, along with being able to bring the feeling of peace and happiness, it also can make human beings to love, cry, and even sometimes make human beings to tremble in fear.
Understanding The Power Of Sound
Sound expert James D’Angelo believes that sounds sang or words spoken by a person have the strongest impact upon the individual’s chemical changes, especially mantras repeated regularly, which can bring about very decisive changes. In his book ‘Healing with the Voice’ he says ‘the subtle and powerful vibrations produced by the human voice purify and balance energies within the body to help promote total well being’. He believes toning – the repetition of single vowel sounds or syllables – and chanting, are the highest form of healing vibration using the voice. The repetition of the sound penetrates deep into the psyche and can calm the mind or boost energy levels. Different sounds can be directed to specific areas of the body to boost wellbeing.
According to French physician Dr Alfred Tomatis, he said, the ear is the first organ to hook up to the brain’s developing neural systems and that the foetus begins to hear the second trimester in the womb. Tomatis realised that interference with hearing in utero and the first years of life could lead to listening, learning and emotional disabilities later on. He discovered that the only sounds that penetrated the womb were high-frequency sounds, which shows the effect of sound in the womb.
After extensive research, he found that the two sound experiences that were far and away the most effective were the mother’s voice, filtered through a special device to omit all but the high-frequency sounds and the music of Mozart. Music, rhythm, tone, and the vibration of sound serves to organise matter, to create structure in space and time. Its effects are clear and measurable. The high frequencies of Mozart in particular, stimulate and charge the creative and motivational regions of the brain.
Also, there is also a Japanese researcher, Dr Masaru Emoto and his experiments, mostly with water. Dr Emoto’s research into nature or water reveals a vast array of form and structure, as reflected in the crystalline shapes that result when water is exposed to subtle energies. One experiment has a group of people projecting love and gratitude towards the water samples. When the water was crystallised by freezing it, and then photographed, the water specimens revealed stunningly beautiful forms and shapes. Other water samples exposed to negative words or thoughts, reflected ugly forms, colours and shapes. Music has a similar effect on water as words and thoughts. Dr Emoto research is based on the premise that everything in the universe vibrates with what he calls ‘hado’ – a vibrational frequency or resonance wave that is the true source of all living forms in the Universe. He has concluded that anything in tune with Mother Nature, manifests as beautiful, hexagonal crystal structures. Our bodies are over 70% water. We have to assume then, that everything we, hear, think and say, must affect our overall body structure as well as those with whom we interact.
"Feelings aroused by the touch of someone's hand, the sound of music, the smell of a flower, a beautiful sunset, a work of art, love, laughter, hope and faith - all work on both the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the self, and they have physiological consequences as well." Bernie Siegel
Those sound we hear or make affect both our physical and spiritual well-being. The body is a self-healing instrument, It is genetically pre-programmed to heal itself. Certain music can heal us, by assisting the body to come into its natural state of balance and harmony.
