Principles of Sound - Sound Healing Tools - Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sound?
  • The universe is alive with sound
  • Sound is creation
  • Sound is vibration
  • Sound is in a constant state of movement
  • If it is in a state of vibration then it is making a sound and sound affects our bodies on all levels-physical, emotional, mental and spiritual
Sound Health
  • When an organ or body part is healthy, it creates a natural resonant frequency in harmony with the rest of the body.
  • When the vibration of a part of the body is out of harmony, we have dis-ease and a different sound pattern is established in the affected part of the body.
  • When sound is projected into the dis-eased area, correct harmonic patterns are restored.
What is Sound Healing?
  • Is the use of sound to create balance and alignment in the physical body, the energy centers called chakras and /or the Etheric fields. Sound may be applied by an instrument or by the human voice. Sound Healing is a vibrational therapy and can be understood as being energy medicine.
  • The basic principle of Sound Healing is that of resonance; that every object is in a state of vibration and therefore creates a sound. This includes all parts of our body, such as our organs, muscles, bones. And if these parts of our body are vibrating at their normal, healthy frequency we call this state “Sound Health”. If a portion of our body begins to vibrate at a frequency or a different sound pattern is established which is not harmonious to us we call this state “disease”.
  • Illness is an out of tune behavior of the body.
  • It is possible to use sound to project the correct resonant frequencies of that part of the body which is vibrating out of harmony back into the body.
  • Is vibrational energy, it is present whether heard or not heard, everything vibrates and therefore emits a sound. Sound is a powerful healing tool.
Sound as a Healing Modality
  • The question began to be asked, why do some people heal, and others didn’t using the same methods. Deepak Chopra
  • What they began to find is that different people apparently used different frequencies or different sounds to heal the same problem
  • The researchers and the Doctor’s began to discover the difference was in the intention
  • Intention becomes the energy behind the sound, thought forms are energy
  • Mitchell Gaynor: Dr. Oncology in New York, works with sound, visualization and mediation and crystal singing bowls to shift frequency for his clients to aid in their healing process

Many sound therapists think the body’s organs resonant to a certain sound. That may work for 70-80% of the population but what if you’re part of the 20%? We are all unique vibratory beings and our bodies, organs, bones, muscles, may respond to a different sound. The difference lies in INTENTION.

Illness is an out of tune behavior of the body.  It is possible to use sound to project the correct resonant frequencies of that part of the body which is vibrating out of harmony back into the body.

What is Disease?
  • This is the same analysis we can use when discussing the body and being out of ease, out of harmony, out of tune, this becomes dis-ease.
  • Out of tune behavior in the body
  • What if it was possible to them back their sheet music by projecting the correct resonant frequency to that part of the body and cause it to vibrate back into a state of harmony, back to a state of health?
  • This is the basis of using sound as Healing Modality!
What is Healing?
  • A state of coming back into balance, wholeness
Why does sound work?
  • We are made up of 75% of water and sound creates new forms. Water is also linked to emotions, so humans are emotional beings. All disease or illness is related to emotional issues and they get stuck in our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual planes. When illnesses show up in the physical plane-they are there to get our attention.
History of Sound Research

Sound has been used since Pre-historic times. Shamans chanted and drummed to heal people. In the ancient mystery schools of Egypt, Greece, India and Egypt using sound and music for healing was a highly developed sacred science.

  • Edgar Cayce: predicted that “sound would be the medicine of the future”.
  • Hans Jenny: Cymatics: Showed how Sound creates forms
    • Demonstrated how various substances such as plastics, liquids and sand would take on different shapes depending upon the frequencies they were subjected to. These experiments showed that sound has the ability to affect and change molecular structure. The human body is composed of over 75% water, so it’s easy to understand how sound can create change in our bodies.
  • Dr. Peter Guy Manners a British osteopath: Created an instrument called the Cymatic Instrument. This instrument allowed the direct application of sound into the body for healing and used harmonically related tones that resonated imbalanced parts of the body, restoring their natural frequency.  Used sound to heal, correlated harmonic frequencies that are the healthy resonant frequencies of various parts of the body
  • Royal Raymond Rife: Successfully eliminated cancer and other diseases using an electronic devise he invented that emitted specific frequencies
  • Dr. Hulda Clark: Book: “The Cure for all Diseases and The Cure for all Cancers”, all living creatures have a vibration and she has developed a zapper to shift the frequencies in your body
  • Masaru Emoto: Samples of water collected from different areas of the world. He exposed the water to music, words spoken, words typed and taped to the glass containers, photographs and long-distance thought messages.
  • Dr. Richard Gerber: The difference between physical matter and Etheric matter is only a difference of frequency
  • Dr. Mitchell Gaynor: Physician of Oncology and he integrates music, vocalization, breathing and meditation techniques in his work with critically ill patients
  • Jonathan Goldman: Sound pioneer, Sonic Entrainment, Sound Healer and Musician
  • Stephen Halpern: Sound Musician and Pioneer –Sound is a carrier wave of Consciousness.
  • Renee Brodie: Sound, Color, Crystal Bowl healer pioneer
  • Keich Frick: Every cell has its own frequency. When you offer, through technology, a harmonic opportunity to the cell it can choose that frequency and become established to it ideal resonance and become recharged to it normal energy state…When we apply this technology we are affecting the intelligence of each individual cell. Every cell is a hologram for the entire body. This area of cellular resonance is the fundamental aspect of vibrational technology and has been vastly overlooked.
Violin Story -Jonathan Goldman
  • Imagine the human body is like a magnificent orchestra.
  • Every section of the orchestra is playing together in harmony.
  • But what happens if the 2nd violin player loses the sheet music?
  • The violin player begins to play out of harmony, out of rhythm, out of tune, by playing the wrong notes.
  • Soon the entire string orchestra is sounding off and before long the entire orchestra is sounding off.
  • Who would have thought 1 player could create such chaos?
  • This is what happens with disease
Sound travels as a wave, a carrier wave of consciousness

How fast of slow and how many waves per second occur is called the Frequency of a sound

  • Waves moving slow: Sound is deep
  • Waves moving faster: Sound is high
  • We hear 16-16,000 cycles per second
  • Children 18,000-20,000
  • Dolphins 180,000
  • Piano 25-4000
Human Voice

Most powerful tool for healing and transformation and it’s a part of you

It’s free and it can be with you at any time

Entrainment

Grandfather Clocks, phenomenon of synchronizing vibrations into a rhythm and conserving energy. Entrainment can synchronize our brain waves, heart rate, and respiration

Brain Waves

Beta: 14-20 hertz or cycles per second. Normal waking state of consciousness, present when our focus of attention is on activities of the external world

Faster talking, doing something right now, getting it done, heart beat is faster, working in the physical plane

Alpha: 8-13 hertz or cycles per second. Daydreaming or light meditation, creative visualization, watching TV

There is something called the Schumann resonance and it the resonant frequency of the earth and that is 7.8-8.5. When you are entrained in that rhythm you are connected to Gaia consciousness.

Theta: 4-7 hertz or cycles per second. High states of creativity, Shamanic work, deep states of meditation and sleep, channeling, really slowed down, peaceful place to be

Delta: .5-3 hertz or cycles per second. Deep sleep or unconsciousness, coma, Deep healers work here, Shamans, Trance Channels

Sound Healing Tools

Formula from Jonathan Goldman, Healing Sounds
  • Frequency (Sound) + Intention = Healing
  • Frequency (Sound) + Intention + Love = Expanding Awareness

Ways to make Sound to release and relax the body
  • Humming
  • Whistling
  • Singing
  • Sighing
  • Groaning
  • Moaning
  • Laughing
  • Crying
  • Shouting
Breathing-very important

Diaphragmatic breathing: Take a deep breath now and observe what happens to your body. If your lower rib cage and stomach are expanding when you take this breath you are doing diaphragmatic breathing. This is a very relaxing breath. Do not have your shoulders go up and down.  I found that during toning this breath allowed the sound and harmonics to expand easier

Toning

Toning is the process of allowing sound to move through you, playing you like an instrument. It is vocal sounding. Toning is physically relaxing and helps activate your own healing energies, it focuses you into your center and increase your awareness of who you are in your body, mind and spirit. You can feel and hear yourself resonating.

With eyes closed breath in and out slowly several times 3-7 times

Sound AH, AYE, EEE, OH, OOO

Do this several times and you begin to feel a change in the Chi energy between your hands

Crystal Singing Bowls

Crystal Bowls contain the qualities of amplification, storage, transfer and transformation. They are powerful tools in effecting change in one’s life.

Sounding Crystal Bowls stimulates your body to rediscover its own harmonic frequency by making it vibrate to the frequency of the bowl so that when it is synchronized it can vibrate independently.

Tuning Forks: 2/3 256 hz & 384 hz (128): The Brain synchronizes to the difference between the 2 forks. This allows the brain to synchronize itself.

C chord is 256 cycles per second and G is 384 cycles per second. In musical circles this is considered a perfect 5th. This means that these two tuning forks are harmonically related notes which vibrate against each other at the ratio of 2:3. The vibrating tuning fork of C vibrates twice as fast as the unstruck tuning fork C. The G tuning fork vibrates three times as fast as an unstruck tuning G fork. When struck together they create the ratio of two to three, and this is considered sacred in many traditions. Pythagoras an ancient Greek philosopher and musician believed the 2:3 ratio was very therapeutic and transformative.

When played together, they create a great sense of calmness and tranquility. They balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain, reducing brain wave activity and inducing states of relaxation. Some even feel this combination balances the Auric flied as well as releasing blocked energy.

Tuning Forks and Sound Frequencies

Robert Monroe found that he would have out of body experiences that were triggered by sound and he began to study brain wave activities.

He found that the brain would synchronize to the difference between two frequencies. He called this Hemi sync.

If one tuning fork was vibrating at 100 cycles per second and another one was vibrating at 105 cycles per second. The brain would synchronize to the 5 cycles per second difference. This would then balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

Ting Sha: Sonic Entrainment

Powerful tool for meditation

Striking both bells together they are slightly off, hear the waaaa waaa. The brain synchronizes to the sound between the two tones and this creates altered states of consciousness.

Siren Scanning

A practitioner begins by making a siren like sound, starting with the bottom of the client’s feet with a very low sound and continues up the body, rising in pitch until a very high sound is created at the client’s head.  Hear the changes in their tone as the body is scanned. The vocal timbre (tone of the voice) will change when the sound reaches a place of imbalance. Practitioner combines listening with sounding.

Over Toning

Can be used in combination with massage, chiropractic and other different types of bodywork and therapeutic touch. I combine this with Reiki and Sound tools, calling this a Sonic Massage.

Mantra and Mantra Chanting
  • Mantras are energetic sound formulas. The mantras were created by the wise ones (rishis) as paths to awareness, using the power of particular sounds to create specific energy responses. In Sankrit, ‘man’ means mind and ‘tra’ means ‘to free from’, so ‘mantra’ is literally a tool to free the mind.
  • As we move deeper into the power of these ancient sound formulas, we also invite you to spend some time each day bathing in the silence after chanting. These moments of silence lead us towards the most precious gift of inner peace.
  • http://devapremalmiten.com/mantras/Exploring-mantras/
  • Client will sound specific mantras designed to balance and align their Etheric fields
Harmonics

Chanting of sacred sounds is based upon using the vowel sounds. The singing and elongation of these vowels sounds is found in most of the major chanting in the world.

OOOOOOOOMMMMMM, AAAAAAMEEEN, AAAAAALLLLAAAHHH, YAAAAH WAAAAY

Sounding AH: Love/Heart

(This sound is found in many of the God/Goddess names on the planet: Krishna, Buddha, Yeshua, Allah, Yah Way, Gaia, and Shekinah)

Sit quietly for a few moments and then think of a very loving experience that you have had. Now as you think of this loving experience, begin to sound forth with a very gentle “AH” sound. Make this sound as a long, extended sound “Aaaaahhhhhh” and while you make this sound with this thought or intention of love, place your hands on your heart Chakra and begin to feel your heart Chakra resonating with this sound. Begin to feel your heart center opening, balancing, and aligning with this energy.

Thank you SO much for the Blessing! I had an eye-opening experience and managed to achieve some peace of mind – quite a feat for me!

I’m eternally grateful for all the time and energy you have put into giving me guidance and support.

I’m truly BLESSED for that. 🙂

Love and Light, Claire

Today I am feeling the sun on me. My energy is up. My ears are wide open. My heart is open again. My space is open. I am feeling a “sort of acceptance” of what is in front of me right now. I am also feeling this funny sense of what is happening right now is not going to last. The future feels open to me today. The key message I received from “The Blessing” is “The Path is on the other side, it’s just that easy!” I choose to stay out of my own way, open my heart and with anticipation look forward to the future.

Rachel

Hi Care, your sacred
sound ceremony,
The Blessing
is SO WONDERFUL!
I still feel like I’m
humming. I feel like
my blocks and fears are
still moving through, but
I don’t feel blocked
or scared. I am calm,
content and feel deep
peace. You are a blessing
and it is a blessing…
You are a beautiful woman
– inside and out…

Blessings, Louise

Wow! I was high on the amazing experience the whole weekend and even did some EFT on my own. I think sound therapy amazing! I think it is a type of meditation that helps you release the stuff that is holding you back and helps you forward. I haven’t felt this lighthearted for many years. Thank you for all of the encouraging words and blessings! You are helping me to lighten and brighten my days. My blessing box is permanently open. I will definitely be up for more!! 🙂

Principles of Sound – Glossary

Everything creates a frequency
  • Everything is in a state of vibration
  • Everything is energy
  • We are all vibratory beings
Hermetic Principles
  • The universe is nothing more or less, than an endless number of vibrations and rhythms
  • Jonathan Goldman began to see an interesting phenomenon; different people apparently used different frequencies or different sounds to heal the same problem
  • How could this be?
  • The concept of intent relates to the Hermetic Principle that all is mind, for intent stems from the mind as the creator of sound
  • Intention as thought forms are energy.
  • INTENT is ENERGY BEHIND THE SOUND
  • A more advanced understanding of intent involves what may be understood as alignment with the purpose of our higher selves or Divine Will
  • It is that aspect of consciousness that is able to align with the sacred energy of sound
  • It is “Thy Will” not “My Will”
  • When we reach this level, our intent is to become a vehicle for sacred sound and we are able to by-pass the lesser aspects of self which may be out of balance.
  • Sound becomes a carrier wave of consciousness –our intention matters and influences how the sound interacts within our energy bodies
  • Stephen Halpern states: This means that depending upon where an individual’s awareness is placed when he creates a certain sound, the sound will carry information on that state to the person receiving it.
Resonance
  • Is the natural, normal healthy vibrational rate of an object-this includes the human body
  • Human body as an orchestra, playing the Symphony of Self
Frequency
  • Length of a Sound Wave
Hertz
  • A string that vibrates back and forth one hundred times a second will create a sound that can be measured at 100 Hz. This would be its frequency. Humans hear within a range limited to vibrations between 16-25,000 Hz.
Sound travels as a wave
  • How fast of slow and how many waves per second occur is called the Frequency of a sound
    • Waves moving slow: Sound is deep
    • Waves moving faster: Sound is high
    • We hear 16-16,000 cycles per second
    • Children 18,000-20,000
    • Dolphins 180,000
    • Piano 25-4000
Decibels

Sound intensity

  • Talking 50-60 decibels
  • Rock Band 100 decibels
  • Jet Plane 120 decibels

Human Voice
  • Creating sounds with conscious awareness and purpose
  • Free
  • Most important healing instrument we own
Vibration

Your Personal Vibration

  • Your personal vibration is the key to the Success of your Sound experiences
  • You are a transformational agent for change in your environment, your personal energy system and expanding the energy for your clients to shift as well.
  • High vibrating energies: Love, Appreciation, Joy
    Low vibrating energies: Anger, Hatred, Fear, Depression
  • Key Qualities to expand sound experiences: Love, Kindness, Joy, Appreciation and Forgiveness
Chakra

Chakra is an Ancient Sanskrit, which means spinning wheel or vortex. These vortexes are known as spiritual centers of energy and consciousness. It is believed that there are seven major chakras within the body that correspond to seven major endocrine glands. These vortexes of energy emerge to the surface on the front and back of the body from seven regions of the spine.

Each Chakra represents a different state of consciousness

Different schools of thoughts:

  • Chakra 1& 2 related to the physical life and being
  • Chakra 2 & 3 relate to the emotional centers
  • Chakra 3 & 4 relate to the mind
  • Chakra 5-6-7 relate to the Divine Trinity and our Spiritual Divinity
Formulas from Jonathan Goldman, Healing Sounds
  • Frequency (Sound) + Intention = Healing
  • Frequency (Sound) + Intention + Love = Expanding Awareness

Carolyn, you are working on all levels of consciousness. I get a sense that you “see and feel consciousness shifting” and that’s how you know what’s opening, closing and expanding for the person you are working with. Sacred Sound is so apart of who you are, keep on sharing your great work with the world. We need these good vibrations.

Larry

My accolades and invitation to others, “Call Carolyn and schedule an appointment for The Blessing, a sacred sound
ceremony”. Afterwards I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. The time we spent together felt like 5
minutes, but I know that we were in the sacred sound sanctuary for over an hour. The experience was powerful,
soothing, peaceful, expansive, heart-felt. I look forward to another Sacred Sound Session with you and will
defiantly share this unique experience with others.

Nancy

Your warmth, your radiance, your knowledge, your kindness and your support are all treasures, and
I am deeply grateful. Working with you and sacred sound has expanded my awareness and touched by heart deeply.
