You may be wondering, how on earth sound can be used as a healing technique. It may feel like a little bit of a stretch for the imagination. Well let me help you a little with this.
Functional Kinesiologist use specially designed tuning forks to create a healing resonance/ frequency. We use the muscle monitor to determine the exact combination of sound required, where it needs to be applied and the optimal duration.
This works on the principle that where there is a disease (physical, mental or emotional), there is a vibrational imbalance linked to the issue. When there is discord, it weakens or distorts our chemical structures and makes us more susceptible to ill health.
By introducing a unique vibration, for a specific duration, the structures in the area start to vibrate in step with the introduced sound. They start to synchronize their vibration to the healing vibration. This is known as entrainment, when the powerful vibrations of one object changes the vibrations of another. Through entrainment, stuck energetic patterns are broken down.
From a research point of view:
- Everything is in a state of vibration.
- Dr Peter Guy Manners “found that he could significantly improve various medical conditions by applying ultrasonic waves in particular frequencies to specific acupuncture points on the body” (Dr Richard Gerber in Vibrational Medicine).
- Hans Jenny, a Swiss researcher, speculated that sound probably had healing properties because it influences geometric patterns and the organisation of cells and living systems.
- Richard Utt’s research in the 1980’s, and corroborated by Alan Sales in the 1990’s, showed that each meridian can be brought back into balance through the use of a frequency specific to the meridian.
- Dr Randall McClellan, in The Healing forces of Music, indicates that our bodies are complex vibratory systems that respond to all sorts of different frequencies.
- “Sound in not just an energy that enters our ears and our brains, allowing us to experience the sensation of hearing; it also has the ability to go into our cellular structure and rearrange our molecules” according to Jonathan Goldman in The Seven Secrets of Sound Healing.
- Emotions have energy and vibrate at a certain frequency according to research done by Dr David R Hawkins in: Power vs Force – The Hidden Determinants of Human Behaviour. He produced this scale of emotions after 30 years of work:
Positive Energy
- Enlightenment: 700 -1000
- Peace: 600
- Joy: 540
- Love: 500
- Reason: 400
- Acceptance: 350
- Willingness: 310
- Neutrality: 250
- Courage: 200
Negative Energy
- Pride: 175
- Desire: 125
- Fear: 100
- Grief: 75
- Apathy: 50
- Guilt: 30
- Shame: 20
