When the vibrations of our physical and
spiritual bodies are in sync, we can find harmony and healing. Everything in the universe is in a constant
state of vibration, including our bodies. Sound is vibration that can be
translated by the delicate structures of our inner ear, but it moves more
than just those tiny receptors. It is part of the spectrum of energetic
vibrations that affect us on the mental, physical, and spiritual levels. Long
ago, shamans recognized the power of sound when they first used chants and
drumming to heal people. In ancient Egypt, Greece, and India, the use of
sound and music for healing was a highly developed sacred science. Sonic
vibration has been one way of experiencing the energy of the universe for
much of humanity’s history. When the vibrations of our physical and
spiritual bodies are out of harmony, it can cause disease. Sound healing
gently massages the molecules back into the right places, clearing blockages
and restoring harmony. Ancient healing systems, such as Chinese medicine and
Indian Ayurveda, associate specific musical notes with subtle energy systems
of the body. In yoga, particular notes of music correspond to each of the
seven chakras. In Tibet, priests have long used bells and bowls over and
around the body to tune and clear the energy centers. Chimes and tuning forks
are other tools that have been used to heal not only the body but also the
energy in a room. Knowing that sound has the power to heal,
we also should try to remember that sounds from modern life can have a
negative effect. Choosing silence over discord may help us maintain a state
of equilibrium. As we seek soothing and harmonizing sounds to surround us, we
may be doing more than creating a balm for the noise of the world. We may
actually be performing an act of self-healing that connects us with one of
the most basic vibrations of the universe. |
