Sound Healing

Be Still and Listen. The Earth is Singing

by artist Karen Davis

Hearing the haunting sound of the crystal bowls seems to awaken an ancient remembering, touching the essence of the soul.

Everything that moves vibrates, from the smallest molecule to the universe itself. As long as it is vibrating, it is making some kind of sound. We may not perceive the sound, as it may be below or above the threshold of our hearing. The human ear can hear sound vibrations between 20 and 20,000 cycles per second, although we also perceive sound by skin ("foco" elástico) and bone (crystal) conduction, ingesting and consuming it with the whole body.

Sound and color are both forms of energy, which vibrate.

el sonido es vibración, y la música, sonido organizado.

The Aboriginal people of Australia are the first known culture to heal with sound. Their ‘yidaki' (modern name, didgeridoo) has been used as a healing tool for at least 40,000 years. The Aborigines healed broken bones, muscle tears and illnesses of every kind using their enigmatic musical instrument. Interestingly, the sounds emitted by the yidaki are in alignment with modern sound healing technology. It is becoming apparent that the wisdom of the ancients was based on ‘sound' principles.



The American Journal of Public Health reviewed shamanic drumming in its April 2003 edition, concluding that drumming activities induce holistic modes of consciousness through synchronous brain activity and provide a vital connection with the spiritual dimensions of human health that have been lacking in modern societies. Research reviews indicate that drumming accelerates physical healing, boosts the immune system and produces feelings of well-being, and release of emotional trauma.

Scientists discovered that the sounds of the ebb & flow of ocean tides, people's voices, dolphin cries and bird & cricket chirps. They sound the same! Slowed down voice recordings of people sound like the ebb & flow of ocean tides. When sped up, people's voices sound like dolphin cries. Speeded up more, like bird chirps. Even more like crickets. And guess what crickets chirps sound like slowed down? First like birds. Then dolphins. Then people! And guess what else? They are exactly the sounds that soothed my body suffering from the harmful biological effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields!
