Powers of Sound Vibrations

A.???????Introduction

1.????????Vedas mention that, "In the beginning was Brahm, with whom was the vibration of sound and the vibration was Brahm". This is similar to St. John’s Gospel, which states that, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God”. Johannes Kepler, the great German mathematician and astrologer writes in his Music of the Spheres, “The earth hums a tune”. Ancient Indian rishis uttered secret syllables before administering lifesaving treatments and medicine. Edgar Cayce, the great modern-day mystic called sound ‘The Medicine of the Future’. The benefits of ultrasound in modern medicine are recognized for a number of things, including its use in healing muscular injuries.

2.????????It has long been noted that particular sounds enhance the body’s ability to heal from imbalances associated with anxiety to nerve disorders and cancer. Recent advances in western medicine show how sound affects us at the cellular level and heals. Beneficial effects are caused by listening to music, toning, humming, chanting. Specific healing effects from sound therapies have been studied and documented by scientists, doctors, physicists, musicians, and modern-day yogis. This knowledge is inherent and was passed down through the millennia.

3.????????The oldest Hindu scripture, Vedas, consist of various Mantric hymns, that were invented by great seers for the welfare of the society. In his meditation, the 5th Century BC seer, Panini heard the 14 sounds from Shiva’s drum, and they awakened in him perfect knowledge of language. Besides the myth, these 14 sounds formed the vowels and consonants of Sanskrit.

4.????????The turn of 12th century AD saw the first Mughal invasion of India. Bakhtiyar Khilji, a maniac Turkic chieftain, destroyed the complete knowledge repository of Sanskrit literature at Nalanda University. The knowledge was lost/ suppressed during 600 years of Muslim rule in India. Due to lack of political support, Sanskrit did not survive post the destruction of Nalanda. Sanskrit literature perished and so did Sanskrit as a language. The proof of whatever had been achieved till then in India in terms of science, knowledge, wisdom & art died with Nalanda.

5.????????Revival of Sanskrit started in 1891 with efforts of the Theosophists in India. In 1894 the American Asiatic and Sanskrit Revival Society was established. After Independence, Sanskrit was included in the 14 original languages of the Eighth Schedule to the Indian Constitution. Many organizations, like the Samskrta Bharati, conducted Sanskrit workshops to popularize the language. The 1991 Indian census reported 49,736 fluent speakers of Sanskrit. Despite all efforts, only 8% of the Vedas could be revived.

B.??????The Wonder of Sanskrit

B.1.??The Vedic Period

a.???????The Hindu literature is divided into two main periods. The Vedic Period (1500 to 200 BC), when the Vedic form of Sanskrit prevailed, and the Sanskrit Period (200 BC to 1100 AD), when classical Sanskrit predominated. The first part of the Vedic period (1500 to 800 BC) was of Vedas. It was a poetic age called as Sruti (that which has been heard). In this age, knowledge was transmitted verbally across the generations. All later works were called Smriti (that which has been remembered). During this age, a body of Hindu texts evolved, traditionally written down but constantly revised. Nearly all Sanskrit literature, whether Shruti or Smriti is in verse.

b.???????The first period (500 to 50 BC) of the Sanskrit age was one of epics. They are divided into two main groupings, the "natural epics", i.e., those derived from old stories or "kavya". The most representative of this school is the Mahabharata, while the best-known of “kavya” is the Ramayana. The Puranas, a group of 18 epics, were were derived from the Mahabharata. Sanskrit drama had its beginnings in those hymns of the Rig-Veda which contained dialogues. In Sanskrit drama, stories are borrowed from legend. The most famous drama was Sakuntala by Kalidas.

c.????????There is a similar outline in all of Sanskrit literature. Different stories are inserted within the framework of a single narration. The characters of the tale themselves tell stories until there are many levels to the narrative. The Panchatantra is the most important work in this style. The judgmental element reached its height in the Hitopadesa, which was derived from the Panchatantra.

d.???????This is all that could be recovered of the Sanskrit literature.

B.2.??Sanskrit Grammar

a.???????"The structure of Paninian Grammar is nothing but a computer program”, stated Charles Babbage, who conceived the first automatic digital computer. Computational Linguistics requires formal rules for analysis and generation of language, which is present in Sanskrit. The grammar of Sanskrit is precise, well defined and context-free. Creator of Sanskrit grammer, Pā?ini, formulated 3,949 rules, which makes the language pre-determined and derivable like mathematics. There is a base (constant part) meaning, a suffix (variable part) meaning and a combination meaning. Two different words may denote an object, but they can’t be used interchangeably. For example ‘Agni’ cannot be replaced with "Vahni", as ‘Agni’ has its own componential meaning. In Sanskrit new words can be derived to suit the functionality of the object.

b.???????In 1985, researcher Rick Briggs at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), published a paper in AI Magazine, titled “Knowledge Representation in Sanskrit and Artificial Intelligence.” He stated that the grammar of Sanskrit, structured and rule-based, had significant lessons for natural language understanding. Sanskrit grammarians could help AI researchers solve the natural language understanding problem in computers. The importance of dual case is ignored in almost all the languages which leads to ambiguity while processing dual and plural. This is removed in Sanskrit grammar by having a clear difference between dual and plural case.

c.????????Panini lived between 520 and 460 BC. In his treatise, he presented the processes of phonology, morphology and syntax for Sanskrit language. His approach was formal. His production rules for deriving complex structures and sentences resemble those of modern computer languages. Many developments in Indian Mathematics, especially the place value notation system may have originated from Pā?inian analysis.

d.???????In the Siva Sutras, Panini discussed the concepts of the phoneme, morpheme and the root. These phonemes serve special roles in the morphology of Sanskrit, and are referred to throughout the text. Panini worked not only on the theory of the phoneme but also on phonetic alternations. One ancient story that is relevant here. Lord Siva produced 14 sound sequences from his Damaru in the course of his Cosmic Dance. These sounds formed the foundations for later developments of all beats of dance, all notes of music and all phonemes of speech. It is said that these sounds appeared in Panini’s mind and inspired him to set them down as the Siva Sutras at the head of his great work, the Ashtadhyay.

e.???????The Ashtadhyay summarizes the rules of Sanskrit Grammar in nearly 4000 Sutras in an awesome structure of phenomenal content in astonishing brevity. These features led the greatest of modern linguists like Bloomfield and Naom Chomsky to declare Panini as the world’s first and greatest Grammarian. It is within this awesome perspective, that the Sanskrit language was perfected. It was used to construct the Mantra corpus of the Vedas and get some insight into the heights of intuitive effort that went into their composition.

B.3.??Origin of Sanskrit Mantras

a.???????The word Sanskrit means “that which is made perfect”. Sanskrit was designed to facilitate communication with purity of thought, feeling, intent as well as purity of sound. For this purpose, Prakrit, which was the language of the common man at that time, was refined into Sanskrit around 200 BC. It was adopted as the language of the Vedas. The Vedas are the only scriptures in the world that have their hymns addressed to the Divine in the form of Mantras. Vedic literature elucidates the use of sound as a spiritual tool. It considers sound as the pre-eminent means for attaining higher, spiritual consciousness. It asserts that the entire cosmic creation began with sound: "By His utterance came the universe”.

b.???????The word mantra can be broken into, "Man" meaning mind, and "tra" meaning release. It is a combination of sounds meant to release the mind from all the anxieties of material life. The sounds of specific mantras chanting causes the left and right hemispheres of the brain to synchronize. Chanting a mantra with correct frequency of sound and correct intent, helps oxygenate the brain, reduce our heart rate, blood pressure and assist in creating calm brainwave activity.

c.????????For evolving Mantras, the rishis analyzed common speech by working backwards through its components, to discover their sources in pure sound. They reasoned that all sounds emanated from energy and were designed for use as vehicles of meaning. The true power of language lay in the power of its sounds. They reasoned that power or energy itself came from one ultimate source.

d.???????For example, nasal sound - MMMM humming boosts the production of Nitric oxide (NO) in the body. Many mantras which end with MMMM, produce Nitric oxide, which is helps 50 trillion cells in the body to communicate with each other. Nitric Oxide is an important regulator and mediator of numerous processes in the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems. Stems and Flowers cut from their original plants can survive for longer time if supplied with Nitric Oxide. Opiate drug Morphine, works by an increase in Nitric Oxide release. Nitroglycerin and Amyl Nitrite tablets serve as vasodilators because they are converted to Nitric Oxide in the body. Sufficient amounts of Nitric Oxide in blood controls Blood Pressure. When human body reaches the age of 27 years, the secretion of nitric oxide is at its peak. As one gets older, the production of nitric oxide in the human body declines gradually.

e.???????The need for widespread acceptance and practice of teachings of Veda, led to development of Tantra and Yantra, as a derivative of the Mantra literature. While Mantra met the needs of the higher seeker, Tantra and Yantra met the needs of the common man. They provided a framework of physical activity of sacrifices, rituals and worship with the aid of physical symbols.

f.?????????Every aspect of the language, its structures of letters, words, sentences, and meaning were implemented in uncompromising standards of articulation and memory training to ensure an uncompromising insistence on maintaining the Vedic texts in their pristine purity and sanctity. The original texts remained for a long time in oral form, left to later scholars of great erudition and integrity, to be converted to written form. The insistence on preserving pronunciation and accent as accurately as possible is related to the belief that the potency of speech was in their sound when pronounced correctly.

B.4.??Chakras and Beej Mantras

a.???????Chakras, the energy wheels in our subtle body, are directed by sound. Chakras represent their own dimension as they act as a “superhighway system in which our energies travel.” Roadblocks through this highway system can be unblocked not only by visualization and physical exercises, but also by using sounds, specifically mantras, something that was known during the Vedic era.

b.???????The Rishis took particular care to relate each of these Aksharas (alphabets) to their antecedent subtle forms or powers that regulated their purpose and usage. The collective chanting of beej mantras can induce cosmic impact. Each beej mantra (seed of origin) comes with such configurations of phonemes which can deliver one from ignorance, illusions and devils.

c.????????The vibratory effects of consonant and vowel sounds in mantras are connected back to the source of the universe. Typically, consonants have come to reflect the hard, material aspects of the world, while vowels represent the spiritual or etheric aspects.

d.???????The sound of the big bang was mathematically construed by University of Washington physicist John G. Cramer. One can listen to the sound of this expansion on audio. The ‘big bang’ is heard as a hum, sounding like the mantra “Om”. It is a sound, that ancient Rishis perceived in their deepest meditations. Om is the single most important sound that can, by itself, configure the human body optimally for maximum resonance. It is noted to have the ability to generate overtones or additional frequencies that occur over and above a tone.

e.???????If one makes the sound of OM in front of a drop of liquid, the water crystals form into a Sri Yantra which is symmetrical and also holographic. This Sri Yantra was revealed to Maharishis with 12 strand DNA and a large pineal gland in about 8000 BC. Sanskrit Mantras have precise golden ratio of 1.618 (Fibonacci), which is same as that of Sri Yantra.

f.?????????The mantra literature speaks about a Beej Mantra. This is the shortest form of a Mantra just like a seed which when sown grows into a tree. The healing due to Beej Mantras occurs due to its ability to balance and align the chakras. For every Solfeggio frequency there is an equivalent beej mantra:

i.???????Root Chakra (396 Hz), beej - LAM sounds like "larm". This helps to increase the earth element in the body.

ii.???????Sacral Chakra (417 Hz), beej - VAM sounds like "varm". This helps to increase the water element in the body.

iii.???????Solar Plexus Chakra (528 Hz), beej - RAM sounds like "rarm". This is believed to increase the fire element in both the body and the mind.

iv.???????Heart Chakra (639 Hz), beej - YAM sounds like "yarm". This increases the air element in both the body and mind.

v.???????Throat Chakra (741 Hz), beej - HAM sounds like "harm". This influences the ether element, working with the mind and body.

vi.???????Third Eye Chakra (852 Hz), beej - OM sounds like "AUM". This influences the ether element, but goes beyond the physical and affects the astral body as well.

vii.???????Crown Chakra (963 Hz), beej - OM sounds like "ahh ooo mmm". It influences the physical, subtle, as well as the causal body.

g.???????Chanting beej mantras increase the rotation or the frequency of prana moving through a chakra. If the function of a chakra increases, then there is heightened awareness and change in the chakra, with the quality of that dependent upon intent and the level of the practitioner. The following is a breakdown of how beej mantras work within the body, utilizing all five elements.

B.5.??The Power of Sanskrit Mantra

a.???????Modern science is revealing the power behind Sanskrit mantras. Sanskrit pandits train for years to orally memorise and recite 3,000-year old oral texts ranging from 40,000 to over 100,000 words. MRI scans of the brains of these pandits revealed that they had increase in grey matter density and cortical thickness in language, memory and visual systems. Their brains had 10 percent more grey matter across both cerebral hemispheres, and substantial increases in cortical thickness.

b.???????Vedic seers believed that human body can be influenced by sound and light. Sound is the basic component of creation. Sound vibrations can penetrate the energy spheres at the subtle and cosmic levels. All alphabets of Sanskrit are endowed with special vibrational wave patterns when pronounced. In addition to sound, the positive light emanating from fire rituals could create universal harmony. These rituals involved chanting of specific hymns in specific pitches or frequencies on a regular basis with sharp focus on pronunciation and pitch. These sounds pierce through sensual, mental and intellectual levels for the purpose of purification. They reach into the spiritual level for enlightenment.

c.????????Mantra was like Mathematics where symbols represented powerful factors, operators and operands, that represent or explain all phenomena of experience. The idea behind chanting is that everything in the universe has a vibration. When a mantra is chanted in rhythmic tone with ups and downs, it creates a melodious neuro-linguistic effect on the body as well as focusses the mind. The phonetics of Sanskrit strike the palate at multiple reflex points stimulating energy that awaken inactive parts of the brain. This activates circuits through the body that slow down the nervous system.

d.???????Yoga teachers claim that chanting of mantras for just 9 minutes a day has positive impact on state of mind and improves health. The specific configuration of the syllables compiled in the mantras makes them important in terms of associated sonic effect. The elocution of a Vedic mantra in a specific composition of accent, pitch, intensity, amplitude and rhythm results in its expansion in the endless domain of physical energy waves and consciousness. The regular recitation (japa) of a mantra reduces restlessness of the mind, brings restraint in life; and works wonders in developing the concentration and memory.

B.6.??Spatial Nature of Sanskrit - Chitrakavyas

a.???????There is in Sanskrit a whole body of literature that is based on geometrical play with the language. These writings are often obtuse and not easy to understand as they contain complex grammatical structures. These are known as chitrakavyas. Some of the creations would be impossible in any other language. The variety and the richness of its contents required great creativity from the writers. They reveal the versatility and immense possibilities of this language.

b.???????An example is a well-known problem in mathematics called Euler’s Chess and Knight problem. The challenge is to place a knight in one comer of the chessboard and to cover all 64 squares with the knight, without landing on any square twice. The French mathematician Euler found the answer to this problem in the 17th century. However, the solution to this problem was contained in a 10th century manuscript, which was composed 700 years before Euler. It was written by a Tamil saint Desikan. It has a thousand verses written in praise of the wooden sandals of Lord Rama. In one of the chapters the saint has written the verses in various citrak?vyas. There are two slokas, one after the other.

c.????????If the syllables of the first sloka are written out in the squares on a chessboard. Then if the second sloka is read among the letters of the first slokа, one finds that the letters follow the movement of the knight on the chessboard, giving a solution to the chess knight problem. The writing of the verses in this fashion is far more difficult than the original chess-knight problem.

• O sacred sandals of the Brahman, you are always adored by those who have committed unpardonable sins; you remove all that is sorrowful and unwanted; you create a musical sound; (e pleased and lead me to the feet of Lord Rama.

When the above verse is read as per the movement of a knight on the chessboard, it creates the following sloka.

• The sandals which protect those who shine by their right attitude, whose place is in the centre of the blissful rays, which destroy the melancholy of the distressed, whose radiance brings peace to those who take refuge in them, which move everywhere, may those golden and radiating sandals of the Brahman lead me to the feet of Lord Rama.

C.??????The Power of Sound

C.1.??Background

a.???????Human beings along with all sentient beings are a part of a vibratory experience that began with creation. These vibrations play a vital role in our emotional, physical, mental, spiritual existence and well-being. They are transmitted through air or other mediums such as solid, liquid, gas or plasma. When vibrations reach the ear, they are converted to electrical impulses in the brain, which we interpret as sound.

b.???????In “Traveling the Sacred Sound Current”, Debroah Van Dyke notes that “sound is also fire, the agent of purification”. It has “an inherent role in the transformation of our consciousness due to its vibrational nature”. The creative force of sound is evidenced in various experiments in which sound organizes matter.

c.????????Paul in his book, “The Yoga of Sound”, states that “sound is infused with intelligence, an organizing principle that shapes the forms we perceive (even) through our eyes”. That organizing principle effects everything down to our DNA, permeating every cell within our bodies. This connection of sound to form was summed up when Plato said that “a stone is frozen music”. Medical science has proven that our ears are the first organ to develop in the fetus.

d.???????Resonance is an important factor when examining sound and its quality. When frequency of forced vibrations matches the body’s natural frequency, a dramatic increase in amplitude occurs. This brings in the idea of a principle called prime resonance. This means that our organs and systems have their own innate frequencies. These frequencies determine how the cells and systems absorb sound and the extent they can be re-harmonized. Our cells, organs, and systems are susceptible to environmental and emotional traumas which can de-harmonize them. For example, long term exposure to noise can contribute to the dis-harmony of the cells and systems in our bodies.

C.2.??Impact of Sound on Water Crystals

a.???????In Masaru Emoto’s book on water crystal healing, he shows how organized sound in the form of music affects the formation of patterns in water crystals which are frozen in Petri dishes and studied under a light microscope. Through photographs, he demonstrates how water takes on expressions of sound. He also likens our body’s systems to a symphony that is healthy when it is harmoniously vibrating. As with all energy, sound moves in waves outwards, though they may affect patterns beyond ‘normal’ perception. He shows how music formulates patterned crystals when exposed to various classical musical pieces. Dr. Emoto claims that upon drinking the water that was exposed to healing music the correction of energy disturbance is started.

b.???????Emoto reveals how one vibration influences another as in prime resonance. First, he shows that diseases have a measurable wave or vibration. That vibration is called “hado” and is measured using a device called Magnetic Resonance Analyzer (MRA). The MRA measures the characteristic of the wave produced by the vibration inherent in diseased organ. By analyzing MRA output, he is able to suggest various melodic pieces that can be used to target the imbalances. These imbalances include irritability, suppression of emotions, relationship problems, stuck thought patterns, self-pity, hopelessness, deep sorrow, stubbornness and depression.

C.3.??Effect of Music

a.???????In “The Mozart Effect”, Campbell, a classically trained musician states how he healed himself from a blood clot in the brain. He engaged in humming a sound which helped his cells resonate a healthy pattern. Undergoing a series of medical tests three weeks later, the results showed that the clot had decreased from more than an inch to less than an eighth of an inch, astounding the doctor. Campbell further states that varying states of consciousness are associated with different types of waves such as beta, delta and theta. It has been proven that the slower the brain waves, the more relaxed and peaceful we feel.

b.???????Respiration, heartbeat, pulse rate, as well as blood pressure have all been proven to be affected by various types of music. Campbell shows how attributes of various types of music resulted in specifically desired effects. For example, chants create a sense of relaxed spaciousness, classical music improved concentration and memory, jazz solicits feelings that inspire and uplift, and salsa simultaneously soothes and awakens the senses. Even heavy metal, with its dynamic and disturbing consequence of exciting the nervous system, can help modern day adolescents release their inner rage and turmoil.

c.????????In one researcher’s postlude, there are numerous examples given of people who have helped to heal or soothe themselves from varying degrees of dis-harmony. For example humming helped minor abrasions, listening to Mozart helped to relieve acute pain, enjoying grounding music with strong beats helped folks with anxiety, and the harp helped to relieve back pain. Music may be one of the keys to “transcending the pains of the moment. Accounts abound of those who experienced the remission of a disease as the result of music or melody.

C.4.??Tibetan singing bowls

a.???????Dr. Mitchell L. Gaynor in his book, “Sounds of Healing” discusses his discovery of Tibetan singing bowls in helping cancer patients. He gives one example of a woman with a tumor in her thymus gland and how singing bowls helped her to relax and reflect upon internal stresses that were the cause of the blockages in her body.

b.???????By listening to the crystal bowl and visualizing the shape of her fears, she was able to see where the fear was stuck in her body, in this case, the throat. He points out that her story is not unique as most people are in so much of a rush that they don’t stop to consider what is important or missing in life, getting ‘out of tune’ with the world around them. This dis-harmony is usually reflected in disease or imbalance. Getting ‘back in tune’ helps us to release tensions that we are many times not even aware of.

C.5.??Entrainment

a.???????Entrainment is defined as the process by which the powerful rhythmic vibrations of one object with a similar frequency causes an object to vibrate in resonance with the first object. Human beings possess amazing complexity that complements their ability to harmonize and adapt to the environment. Entrainment is based in rhythm and when a vibration is perceived through the auditory senses, then the combined synergy creates profound synchronicity.

b.???????It has been postulated that everything rhythmical is subject to entrainment, and that even people’s bodies respond to the talk of another. Dr. William S. Condon from the Boston University School of Medicine closely observed the body language of people as they listened to another person speak. Listeners were observed to move in precise shared synchrony with a speaker’s speech. He also noted that there was no discernible lag even at 1/48 of a second. An analysis of this data shows the power of entrainment works whether or not we are conscious of it.

C.6.??Brain Waves

a.???????Brain waves are produced by the synchronized electrical pulses from a large number of neurotransmitters communicating with each other simultaneously. Broadly speaking, there are five types of brain waves that are mentioned in the succeeding paragraphs.

b.???????Gamma Waves (40-100 Hz)

i.???????Gamma Brain Waves are the fastest brainwaves (high frequency) and the most recently discovered brain wave state, relate to simultaneous processing of information from different brain areas. These are involved in higher processing tasks as well as cognitive functioning. This is important for learning, memory and information processing.

ii.???????Too much Gamma Waves result in: Anxiety, High Arousal, Stress.

iii.???????Too little Gamma Waves result in: ADHD (Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder), Depression, Learning Disabilities.

iv.???????Optimal Gamma Waves result in: Binding Senses, cognition, information processing, learning, perception, REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.

c.????????Beta Waves (12-40 Hz)

i.???????Beta Brain Waves are associated with normal waking consciousness and a heightened state of alertness, logic and critical reasoning. Having the right amount of beta allows us to focus to our task whether in class room, work place or sports ground. However, exposing too much beta waves also results to too much stress.

ii.???????Too much Beta Waves result in: Anxiety, High Arousal, Inability to Relax and Stress.

iii.???????Too little Beta Waves result in: ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), day-dreaming, depression, poor cognition.

iv.???????Optimal Beta Waves result in: Conscious focus, memory, and problem solving.

d.???????Alpha Waves (8-12 Hz)

?i.???????Alpha Brain Waves are dominant during quietly flowing thoughts while one is in deep relaxation, or when one is slipping into a lovely daydream or during light meditation. Alpha is the frequency between our conscious thinking and subconscious mind: This is Light Meditation State.

ii.???????Too much Alpha Waves result in: Daydreaming, inability to focus, too relaxed.

iii.???????Too little Alpha Waves result in: Anxiety, High Stress, Insomnia, and OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).

iv.???????Optimal Alpha Waves result in: Relaxation, and Natural Flow State of thoughts.

e.???????Theta Waves (4-8 Hz): Theta Brain Waves occur most often in sleep but are also dominant during deep meditation. In theta we are in a dream; vivid imagery, intuition and information beyond normal consciousness awareness. It helps us improve our intuition, creativity, and makes us feel more natural.

i.???????Too much Theta Waves result in: ADHD, depression, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattentiveness.

ii.???????Too little Theta Waves result in: Anxiety, poor emotional awareness, and stress.

iii.???????Optimal Theta Waves result in: Flow State, Creativity, emotional connection, intuition, and relaxation

f.?????????Delta Waves (0-4 Hz): Delta Brain Waves are the slowest but loudest brainwaves (low frequency). These are experienced in a deep, dreamless sleep and in very deep, transcendental meditation. These are also found most often in infants as well as young children. Deep sleep is important for the healing process – as it is linked with deep healing and regeneration.

i.???????Too much Delta Waves result in: Brain injuries, learning problems, inability to think, and severe ADHD.

ii.???????Too little Delta Waves result in: Inability to rejuvenate body, inability to revitalize the brain, and poor sleep.

iii.???????Optimal Delta Waves result in: Immune System, natural healing, restorative sleep / deep sleep.

g.???????Jean Paul Banquet, conducted some experiments on the subjects practicing Mantra-based Transcendental Meditation (TM) and observed the following results:

i.???????Mantra meditation leads to shift from alpha to slow frequencies, mostly theta and mixed frequencies, sometimes low- and medium-voltage delta frequencies. high-voltage beta, at approximately 20 Hz, appears, usually mixed with alpha and theta, with simultaneous disappearance of higher beta frequencies. The dominant alpha usually slows down by one or two Hz.

ii.???????The amplitude of alpha is increased at the end of mantra meditation.

iii.???????Continuous alteration of alpha and mixed frequencies is typical. Alpha periods predominate at the beginning of mantra meditation. Low mixed theta and beta, different from drowsiness, are prominent in deep meditation. Rhythmic higher voltage alpha frequencies return at the end.

C.7.??Solfeggio Frequencies

a.???????Every sound that we make is actually a composite of a fundamental frequency and its geometric multiples, called harmonics. These harmonics are whole number ratios, 1:1, 2:1, 3:2, etc. These make up the timbre or tone of sound and are responsible for the way our individual voices sound. Vocal harmonics can make new neural synaptic connections in the brain. They can also improve our vocal quality, hearing, change our brain pattern and even heighten our consciousness. This is the science of Solfeggio frequencies.

b.???????Solfeggio frequencies make up the ancient 6-tone scale thought to have been used in Gregorian Chants. Each Solfeggio tone has a frequency that balances energy, as well as keeps body, mind and spirit in perfect harmony. According to Professor Willi Apel, the source of the ancient Solfeggio scale can be traced back to a hymn devoted to John the Baptist. The Solfeggio frequencies were lost and different tuning applications came up. In the mid-1970’s Dr. Joseph Puleo, rediscovered the original scale. He found six electro-magnetic sound frequencies that corresponded to the syllables from the hymn to St. John the Baptist. He used the Pythagorean method of numeral reduction to discover the pattern of six repeating codes. The Solfeggio scale six ascending notes assigned to Ut-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La.

c.????????David Hulse, a sound therapy pioneer with over 40 years of experience, described the tones as the following:

i.???????396 Hz (UT) – turning grief into joy, liberating guilt & fear.

ii.???????417 Hz (RE) – undoing situations & facilitating change.

iii.???????528 Hz (MI)– transformation & miracles, repairing DNA.

iv.???????639 Hz (FA)– relationship, connecting with spiritual family.

?v.???????741 Hz (SOL) – expression/solutions, cleaning & solving.

vi.???????852 Hz (LA) – returning to spiritual order.

d.???????Three additional tones, calculated using the above frequencies include:

i.???????174 Hz – Reduce Pain Physically and Energetically.

ii.???????285 Hz – Influence Energy and Human Auric Fields. Helps Reenergize Body.

iii.???????963 Hz (SI) – Awakening our Universal Consciousness and Oneness.

e.???????The tuning practice adopted by western cultures from 16th century till present is “Twelve-Tone Equal Temperament”. This is out of sync when compared with the original Solfeggio scale.

C.8.??528 Hz Magic

a.???????Pythagoras said “music of the spheres is a beautiful harmony, perceived by our ears, from the moment of birth”. He found that sound is capable of helping re-wire, train and heal the mind, using various musical frequencies. He composed musical peices from his school in Crotona, called “Pythagorean Harmonic Healing”. These were used to treat and cure various physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual illnesses. By using therapeutic sound frequencies, Pythagoras performed “soul-adjustments”. He taught that “music should never be approached simply as a form of entertainment and that it should be viewed as an expression of “Harmonia”, the Divine principle that brings order to chaos and discord. He taught that, like mathematics, music allows humans to see into the structures of nature.”

b.???????Similar mechanisms might also be involved in a kundalini experience. Awakened kundalini has the ability to awaken higher consciousness as well as restore the physical body. It upgrades the bioenergy system. Kundalini experiencers often describe an incredible while light enveloping their consciousness as the plasma-like kundalini rises up the spine and explodes into the head and the crown chakra. The result in the moment is a state of expansive bliss.

c.????????In 1996, Kelleher cloned a stretch of human DNA from activated human T-cells. He found that it consisted of a tandem array of transposon sequences, "arranged like beads on a string". Transposons are highly regulated, discrete DNA segments that can relocate within the genome. It was the perfect structure for accomplishing "a large-scale speciation-type change".

d.???????At the biological level, the DNA starts rewriting genetic code for the better as previously dormant codons are switched "on". At 528 Hz frequency, the clustered water molecules that surround and support the DNA structure form a perfect 6-sided hexagon. Phase locking the body to the 528 Hz frequency sends a powerful healing energy to the DNA. DNA's amino acid sequence depends heavily on the 528 Hz frequency not just for its physical structure but also for its bioelectrical and bioacoustics functions.

e.???????DNA activation method designed by Luckman is based on the ancient solfeggio scale. The DNA is resonant with this scale. By utilizing just, a 528 Hertz solfeggio tuning fork and the correct vowel chanting technique, DNA can be activated to harness greater amounts of energy in time-space/ ether. The "mi" note of 528Hz is used by molecular biologists to repair genetic defects. The result of this total process unfolds over 27 months. It is akin to gentle and progressive kundalini awakening and healing of the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies/ layers of the psyche. Allergies disappear, old injuries repair, serious diseases vanish, the body detoxifies, emotional baggage is purged, and a sense of peace and well-being develops.

f.?????????This is discussed in more detail in the next section.

D.??????DNA Activation

D.1.??Junk DNA

a.???????The human genome is approximately 3 billion base pairs long. An estimated 2% of these tell our bodies how to make proteins. The remaining 97-98% is noncoding DNA also called "junk DNA". The Genome Project could identify only 23,688 coding genes, which was 100,000 short of expected number. It was recently discovered that the regions of noncoding DNA had a function. They were making non-protein-coding RNA molecules, which had many roles in gene regulation.

b.???????A Russian genetic experiment has proved that, “junk DNA” creates and runs a Biological Internet. The experiment used electronic devices to create the wave patterns that could communicate with the “junk DNA”. It responds to focused light or sound vibrations and can be instructed to perform tasks. Intuition, self-healing, telepathy, light-auras surrounding spiritual masters, positive thinking, etc can now be explained using modern science.

c.????????A large portion of our "junk" DNA is made up of elements called "jumping DNA" and "satellite DNA". Junk DNA can rewrite/ activate/ de-activate certain genetic codes. Jumping DNA makes up half of the total DNA nucleotides. Another major portion of the non-protein-coding DNA is comprised of variable number tandemly repeating sequences known as "satellite DNA".

d.???????Dr. Horowitz states that, DNA strands act like radio antennae, to receive vibrations and attune the body. This network is wireless in nature, communicating via light and sound waves. It responds to precisely focused vibrational patterns of sounds. This makes it possible to converse with our body via vibrations and waves that can heal ailments. Hence health can be fine-tuned by controlling body functions, without the need of any physical intervention like surgery or medicinal drugs.

D.2.??Energy Fields and Aura

a.???????As per morphogenetic model, growing organisms are shaped by fields which are both within and around them. These fields contain the shape/ form of the organism. Morphogenetic fields ensure that a group of cells grow in to specific body structures or organs. For example, a cardiac field becomes heart tissue. Scientist Rupert Sheldrake, in the early 1980s, was the first to use the term energetic or subtle morphogenetic or morphic fields. Sheldrake suggested that all tissue or organs are first energy fields that later grow into a physical form. All living organisms, from cells to people tune in to the morphic fields. The “junk DNA” interfaces with a morphogenetic field. The “junk DNA” physically stores information from these fields.

b.???????In occult literature, the spirit is referred to as the etheric double, a duplicate of the physical body in every way. It exists in a higher frequency domain invisible to normal human vision very similar to Dr Sheldrake's Morphic fields. These fields behave as if goal-directed. They are influenced by the accumulated “momentum” of their species’ history and their own history. Members of a family pass down certain behaviors and emotions to their children using this field. Members of a species also share common characteristics and developmental patterns. Even when separated, members of a species acquire similar traits. Sheldrake’s philosophy holds that past life memories could pass from lifetime to lifetime through the same field.

c.????????A special form of photography is able to take pictures of these fields, which are popularly called as Kirlian aura. In the 1930s, Russian scientist Semyon Kirlian and his wife, Valentina, invented a new photographic process that involves directing a high-frequency electrical field at an object. The object’s pattern of luminescence, the morphogenetic field, can then be captured on film. Contemporary practitioners have used Kirlian photography to show how the aura responds to different emotional and mental states, and even to diagnose illness and other problems. Medical science is now using a heat aura, as well as other imaging processes, to show the different aspects of the body’s electromagnetics.

D.3.??Impact of Sound on DNA

a.???????In the 1990s, a team of Russian linguists led by Dr. Peter Gariaev made an amazing discovery. They discovered that the genetic code in "junk DNA" follows a uniform grammar and usage rule, identical to human language. At about the same time, Dr. Jeff Delrow discovered that the 4 nucleotides (A,T,G, and C) of "junk DNA" inherently form fractal structures closely related to human speech patterns. They had large numbers of endlessly repeated sequences with no apparent meaning. Some of the identified sequences are palindromes (which are words or sentences which can be read in either direction).

b.???????Soon experiments revealed that live DNA reacts to language modulated laser rays and even to radio waves or certain frequencies. By using correct light and sound "junk DNA" can be activated. It can be instructed to re-code certain portions of the coding DNA, thus effecting transformation at the fundamental biological level. During 1984 to 1985, Gariaev discovered that an invitro DNA sample in a test tube had the ability to attract and harness coherent laser light, causing it to spiral along the DNA helix. After the DNA sample and all the apparatus was removed, the photons continued to spiral as if the DNA was still there. This was dubbed as "DNA phantom effect".

c.????????Gariaev also remarked that DNA not only absorbs/ emits light but also radio frequencies and phonons also. Our DNA harnesses both sound and light in its moment-by-moment operations. To put it another way, our DNA creates "magnetized wormholes" in the fabric of space.

d.???????Dr. Glen Rein has devoted much of his career to studying the effects of sound and frequency on DNA. His research is centered around the telomeric end caps of chromosomes that correspond with our biological age. He discovered that anger, fear, and similar emotions contract DNA molecules. On the other hand, emotions such as joy, gratitude, and love unwind or decompress DNA. Patients with coherent electrocardiograms could wind-or-unwind DNA samples at will. In 1998, Rein exposed in vitro DNA samples to 528 Solfeggio frequencies in the form of Gregorian chants in scalar audio waves. The effects were determined by measuring the capability of DNA test tube samples to absorb UV light. The absorption of UV light increased when the DNA helix unwinds. This is known as hyperchromicity.

e.???????DNA activation method pioneer, Dr Sol Luckman states that a combination of chanted sounds as well as Solfeggio frequencies can stimulate junk DNA elements into initiating healing. These frequencies effect profound change at the fundamental microbiological level. Controlled experiments show that sound and light frequencies can be used to rewrite genetic codes. Frog embryos have been transformed into salamander embryos using these techniques in lab.

D.4.??Binaural Beats

a.???????In 1970’s, Gerald Oster showed that when two different frequencies were played in the ears, the brain created a third, internal tone, called a binaural beat. This tone was used to synchronize the left and right hemispheres of brain. This process was called “brainwave entrainment.” Binaural tunes can produce different states of perception than can induce concentration, relaxation, hypnosis, creativity, deep sleep, memory retention and physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Research has shown that when a person listens to binaural beats for a recommended time, their levels of arousal change.

b.???????There are four known categories of frequency patterns emanating from the brain:

i.???????Delta, with a frequency between 0.1 and 4Hz and associated with dreamless sleep

ii.???????Theta, with a frequency between 4 and 8Hz and associated with REM sleep, meditation and creativity

iii.???????Alpha, with a frequency between 8 and 13Hz and associated with encouraging relaxation

iv.???????Beta, with a frequency between 14 and 100Hz and associated with concentration and alertness, although this frequency can increase anxiety at the higher end of the frequency range

c.????????Dr David Laws conducted study examining the effect of binaural beat audio on pre-operative anxiety in patients. The study found that offering binaural beat audio brings about anxiolysis, the anxiety is reduced by hypnosis. It does not impact adversely on postoperative functioning.

E.??????Conclusion

1.????????All religions, sects and faiths try to achieve a peaceful mind, with coherent thoughts leading to a healthy body, mind and soul. There are a large number of meditation techniques leading to the same goal. Mantra chanting is one such technique. Correct sound of mantra and faith can bring miraculous effects. Chanting has been used in different civilizations, for religious ceremonies, healing and even preparation for war. These sound vibrations have profound effects on brain function and cellular health.

2.????????Albert Einstein stated that, “Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter”. Sound vibrations are powerful. Binaural beats and exposure to specific frequencies impacts the body in positive ways. The Solfeggio frequencies have positive impact on healing through DNA activation. Study of effects of sound on synthesis of nucleic acids in chrysanthemums, has found that synthesis of RNA accelerates under certain frequencies. A professor at Skidmore College discovered that a combination of sounds and human voice can destroy cancer cells.

3.????????Hormones and neurotransmitters in human body communicate with each other through vibrations. Using mantra recitation to resonate with those vibrations, the production and spreading of curative chemicals can be increased. This has destressing and rejuvenating effect on the body. Hans Jenny has demonstrated that the sounds of Sanskrit phonemes effect the mind, intellect and auditory nerves positively. Sanskrit has richness, variety, perfection of grammar, structure, alphabet, versatility, expression in the arts/ sciences/ daily life and beauty/ charm of its poetic creations. A practioner of mantra meditation can achieve a disease-free body, a calm mind, clear and coherent thinking. He can enhance his intelligence quotient and also attaining bliss, self-realization and enlightenment.

4.????????Chanting sacred mantras while listening to a single musical note vibrating at Solfeggio scale has been shown to repair the DNA. This scale was lost for centuries and accidentally rediscovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo. It holds unlimited potential in healing and personal transformation.
