– how the vibrational frequency of cells plays a major role in wellness and harmony.
Einstein said ‘matter is energy in motion’. He meant that even seemingly solid objects consist only of rapidly vibrating photons – light. Everything possesses its own natural vibration at the cellular level. This is also true of the body. The cells and organs vibrate at certain frequencies. If these are not synchronous, ill-health and literally, disharmony, are the result.
Our feelings also generate a frequency. We pick up feelings from other people subconsciously all the time. We do this perfectly naturally, without even realising. You know immediately, when someone walks in the room, whether you like them or not, don’t you? This is literally because they ‘resonate’ with you. In other words the frequency of their body and emotions are similar to yours, creating an empathetic resonant feeling of understanding. When a ‘C’ tuning fork is struck, another ‘C’ tuning fork close by will also begin to vibrate. This is a scientific phenomenon known as ‘sympathetic resonance’.
The mechanism through which we share and pick up feelings from others is our aura, a magnetic field that surrounds our body. The aura stores everything that ever happens to us, in this life or past lives. Invisible to the naked eye, it can be seen by Kirlian photography, as colour surrounding the body. We connect and share information with others via our aura, which changes colour according to our mood and situation.
Where there is an imbalance in the body, emotional system, or mind, it shows up as dissonance in the body and/or aura. A vibration which feels uncomfortable. Jarring. You may sense it in others, when they are ill or disturbed. Imagine a car with the carburettor out of whack. You hear a terrible rattling vibration and it tells you something is wrong. Exactly the same is true of the physical body and emotional system. There’s a dissonant vibration. And someone who is sensitive to vibration is able to sense where the problem is and adjust the vibration.
How is this possible? Well there are various ways, for example using sound or crystals. Sound is a frequency, a vibration. Crystals also each possess a unique vibration. Harnessing a scientific process known as ‘entrainment’ it is possible to raise and adjust the vibration of one thing, just by placing something with a higher vibration next to it. So to sing a higher frequency, or place a crystal in the appropriate place on the body, can raise the vibration and literally bring the physical emotional or mental system back into – harmony!
In the 18th century Ernest Chladni, a German physicist, found that the sound waves produced by a violin bow drawn vertically across the rim of a metal plate would create patterns in sand sprinkled on the plate. Different musical tones would cause the sand particles to move into geometric patterns. Rather like the rippling patterns the sea makes on sand. Some forms of healing use energy patterns like this to restore order. For example, Reiki and Reconnective Healing. These two forms of ‘hands on’ vibrational healing effectively run an ‘energy pattern’ over the dissonant resonance of the body. The pattern has an organising and calming, healing effect on the body, mind, and emotions.
Ernest Chladni also found that low frequency sounds produced simple geometric shapes on a sand covered plate. As the sound frequency was increased, these simple forms would break up and more complex patterns would appear. The sound ‘OH’ would produce a perfect circle. The sound ‘OM’ produced a pattern that resembles the Shri Yantra; the ancient mandala for ‘OM’ used in India for thousands of years. Hans Jenny came to the conclusion that sound creates form and that the entire human body had its own sound made up of all the sounds of its cells, tissues and organs.
Sound has a surprisingly powerful transforming effect, even on physical systems. For example, it’s possible to clean jewellery using a machine with a sonic vibration. Rather like shaking the dirt out of a rug, the vibration loosens unwanted particles of dirt and they fall away. High pitched sound is also used medically to shatter kidney stones. Consider an opera singer’s ability to shatter a glass. There is a point at which a certain frequency makes it impossible for an existing system to continue in the same form. Change and healing (or cleanliness!) is the result.
A definition of health and well-being, for me, is ‘energy flow’. Going back to the car example, when the fuel pump is blocked, the whole system shuts down. The body is the same – if we receive a physical or emotional trauma and don’t fully express our feelings about it at the time, the feelings tend to remain in the body as a block. The natural life-force energy (prana, or chi) can’t flow and the system is like a blocked sink – likely to become out of balance and unhealthy if left for a long time! Vibration such as healing with crystals and sound can shift such blockages and restore health and well-being. Maybe that’s why singing in the bath is so good for you!
