The Sound of Healing


The Church Bell rings and we know it's time for us to gather and start the worship in unity.  A beautiful sound to awaken our soul while bringing joy and peace.  You feel the vibrations going deep into your soul sparking a fire within making you feel alive and prepared to hear the wonderful message of the day.  Sound is not only for ceremonies but amazingly every ceremony includes some form of sound.  They range from singing bowls, gongs, drums, Tingsha chimes, and hand bells to name a few, no matter what belief is followed or religion some sort of sound instrument is used.  Millions of years ago when humans could not speak they made sounds using their own vocal abilities or with bones to communicate, certain tools where discovered and the archeologist felt they where used as a warning signal.  Many cultures have used sound for many different reasons from ceremonies, healing and communication for when danger approaches.  As we still do today for the signal of danger and warning of emergency or law enforcements around the world.

There has been studies shown how vibration changes the make up of cells and even Atoms on all types of elements even water.  Sound makes vibrations which causes an affect on our physical, emotional and psyche, some of it is due to our own memory and some is cellular memory, which studies have shown this to be a factor.  The sound waves is considered frequency and is measured in hertz, which is the number of pressure waves per second that would move past a fixed point.  It is also the same as the number of vibrations per second that particles are making as they transmit the sound.  As all matter is made up of energy then it is understandable that sound will have such a strong impact on all matter.  So when you hear that favorite type of music depending on the vibration that it will give it may respond to your physical body differently then your emotional or psyche.  Some types of music may or may not be the sound that one's eternal being may want to feel.  Your inner self (subconscious mind) knows what sound appeals to it for it goes on vibrations not the style of music.  Does that mean you have to stop listening to your favorite type of music?  I don't want to say to do that, just be aware that it is affecting you in the cellular level so it will cause some effect.  My suggestion is to learn to balance yourself so you can achieve a well-being state to avoid dis-ease.  At times we need certain types of music to help us achieve physical stamina, just remember to utilize different sound to help your inner being receive proper balance.  There are many different ways to achieve that balancing affect for total body healing.  There are Healing Tuning Forks (a 2 "U" shape prong with a stem, my suggestion is to start with the "Ohm" Mid and Low Tuning Forks), Singing Bowls that comes in different sizes so it creates different types of vibrations and sounds, Tingsha Chimes, and different Healing and Balancing audio music that you can purchase or go to your favorite digital audio website to download these recordings.  I have found many of them on "you tube" that they offer long version of digitally programmed music for relaxing, sleep, balancing, meditation and even increase energy.  Some use the sound of tuning forks, singing bowls and others are digitally composed to equal the healing frequency that is needed to achieve the results you may need or require.  There are also Apps on both Android or Apple that you can search under "healing or relaxing" music and more, with today's technology there is no reason not to be able to have access to these beautiful healing sounds unless you just don't want to bother with it which may be the reason your body is crying out for attention.  With some certain meditation ones especially the "Binaural Beats" that represents the process which works by simultaneously sending a marginally different sound frequency to each ear through headphones.  Brain waves entrainment happens inside the brain which perceives a third tone from the two different tones.  (information gathered from www.binauralbeatmeditation.com/the-science/)  If you can only listen to if for 5-10 minutes everyday that will help your body start to unwind, it will be worth your time to help your body to heal from the stresses of the day.

I like to also use the Tuning Forks on myself as well as others for therapeutic and healing work therapies to help with certain symptoms, physical pain and energy alignment.  These healing techniques are done mainly with other modalities as well to achieve total body wellness.  When working on myself,  When utilizing the tuning forks I may work on just a specific concern or will use them to balance the energy centers (Chakras) which tunes the body in perfect harmony.  The body is programmed to heal itself (God has created a system that no man can ever duplicate) therefore as a bodywork healer my intention is to provide a healing method to guide it in a well balanced atmosphere with certain frequency to match the healing properties to bring back "Homeostasis".  These healing techniques which is now categorized as "New Age Therapies" is really now new at all.  Sound therapy as well as many other healing energy work, has been around for over 4000 years, and has been found all over the world.  It has been part of all healing rituals either with an object or person's vocal sound (a form of singing or chanting) it extends all beliefs and religions,  As we are "a new country" here in the United States, this is new to us but not to the natives for they used sound therapy with healing and prayer rituals.  Extensive studies are offered to learn different techniques using the Tuning Forks, Singing Bowls, Chimes and Drums, that one can take either in a physical class or on-line or purchase books, to learn how to properly use them.  One main fact to always keep in mind is to follow your instincts for there is no wrong way to give a healing session when it is followed with good intent.  For those that have any brain disorders including past concussions, depression, or psychological disorders, please check with your health care provider and a specialist in auditory function.  There has been studies done that in those cases improper sound therapy can cause a reverse debilitating affect. 
Now a basic use of the tuning fork is that when striking the fork to create the sound either use a rubber mallet, your upper knee, a hockey puck or if you have two forks you can strike them on the sides but be aware that can start denting the forks and it will change the sound and frequency of them.  Hold the tuning fork by the stem in the middle or bottom but not close to the "U" shape part of the fork.  Hold the fork like 4-5 inches away from your ear and slowly bring it closer, listen with one ear then strike again and listen with the other ear.  If you are using two of them then alternate the forks with the ears.  The tuning forks come weighted or unweighted which is determined by a weight that is molded into the  top of the tuning fork.  The weighted tuning fork works more on the physical level and the vibration is stronger in a deeper level when the stem is placed on the body.  The sound does last longer but it is softer and more diffused.  They are normally placed by the body or ears and used for pain relief, reducing inflammation and inducing relaxation. 
The unweighted tuning fork works more on the subtle level, they move in a lesser motion, the feeling of the vibration is subtle when it's stem is placed on the body, the sound does not last as long but is is sharper and more crystallized, they are great to use for mental and emotional balancing, improving the energy field, improving physical health, promoting spiritual upliftment, helping to create inner harmony and wholeness.  They are normally held and moved slowly around the body, by the ears and some will use them on certain points (reflexology or acupuncture points).  There are many different types of tuning forks and sets available as there are companies that sell and make them.  The main places that they are made is in India and USA and the ones used for healing therapies are mainly made of Aluminum Alloy which makes them lighter and more durable.  The prices you will see for the ones used for healing work verses the health, auditory and music world are a lot more expensive.  They state that they are designed differently so the sound will carry further and they are precisely tuned for healing purposes.  I do have to admit that the ones I have purchased that was for the medical field the sound does not last as long as the ones I purchased from a company that designs them for healing therapy work so for healing therapy I do use the ones designed for that but for just plain sound therapy to relax or meditate I will utilize the medical grade ones.  You have to decide which ones you want to utilize that fits your budget for I feel its better to use them then not at all!

My first set was the "Solar Harmonic Spectrum" which consists of 8 tuning forks which range with the musical notes from Low C, A, B, D, E, F, G and High C.  You can use one note at a time or mixed noes to create another note.  As with a musical instrument the more you practice the better you will get with them.  A book from Dr. John Beaulieu  called "Human Tuning, Sound Healing with Tuning Forks" (the founder and owner of Biosonics) goes into great detail about the history and the breakdown of sound therapy using musical notes.  Another great book for those looking to balance the spine, which governs the entire body, is "Song of the Spine" by Dr. June Leslie Wieder.  Working on myself and family members it has given me great results and am slowly introducing it to my clients but as they prefer more hands on work some are not always prepared for any changes.  Yet in time I know this will be the route tat I soon will take for it just benefits the body as a whole so it balances it physically, emotionally and spiritually.  So start with the sound therapy o music which you can sample with on "you tube" and you can search for tuning forks and it will bring up different versions of how to use them and also programmed audio versions for different healing work for yourself or others.  This post is to share with you my results that I have with using sound as therapy besides just for entertainment.  Just remember the time you might of felt a bit down and you put on your favorite music that made you want to dance and how carefree and joyful you felt, little did you know that was a form of sound therapy.  Now imagine that ten fold when you use a certain sound frequency to heal your body and bring it back into balance, that joyful feeling will last even longer!

This is not a cure all for nothing really is, every healing work guides and assist your body into helping it heal itself, so this is a subtle type of work but a lasting one with no known side affects, of course those with severe medical issues especially brain and heart disorders need to still get advise from a professional healthcare provider and their specialist (this is still a form of frequency even though it is the safest one but everything has it's cautions).  When you combine it with other therapies then you can create a stronger harmony just keep in mind the more you introduce to your body the higher the chance there will be a "healing crisis" that may occur which is what the body does to get rid of toxin buildup to bring in back into "Homeostasis".  This is not a bad thing to happen but one needs to be prepared that you may feel worse before getting better depending on eating habits and emotional distress.  The body does try to attempt to dump the waste in any form that it can so it can have a better structure.   Healing techniques including massage therapy will start the process or intensify it so just rest, drink plenty of water (lemon or cucumber infused water is a great detoxifer as well as anti-oxidant) and eat light and healthy so the healnig crisis should not take as long.  If you don't have time for the process then introduce your body one therapy at a time so this way it does not get overwhelmed.  Good health and vibrations!  You can contact me if you would like more information or if you would like to book a session on "Tuning Fork Therapy". 

Sending Love and Blessings from our Heavenly Father through our Lord Jesus Christ!!!
