Throughout time and across all cultures, music and sound have been an integral part of ceremony, as well as a healing tool. In ancient India, Asia, Africa, and Europe and among the Aboriginals the practice of using sound to heal and achieve balance has existed for centuries. The Tibetans still use bells, chimes, bowls, and chanting as the foundation of their spiritual practice. In Bali, the gong and drum are used in ceremonies to uplift and to send messages. The Australian Aboriginals and Native American Shamans use vocal toning and repetitive sounds, along with instruments created from nature, in sacred ceremony to adjust any imbalance of the spirit, emotions or physical being. The priests of ancient Egypt knew how to use vowel sounds to resonate their energy centers or charkas. There is a direct link between different parts of the body and specific sounds. Such a technique appears extremely old, yet healing through sound goes back even further, at least as far back as Atlantis, where the power of sound was combined with the power of crystal.
Sound healing is the practice of using sound to realize and correct imbalances in the body. Vibrations or frequencies are measured in cycles per second or simply "Hertz". All things will vibrate or resonate to certain frequencies. Sound is a vibration therefore everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, and each object or person has a resonant frequency that is their optimal vibration. The charkas, bones and organs in the body all possess a different resonant frequency. When an organ or other part of the body is vibrating out of tune, it is called "dis-ease". Any disease therefore indicates that part of our system has moved out of balance and is consequently vibrating at an off frequency. Vibrational therapy is based on the idea that all illness or disease is characterized by blockage in the channels on some level, such as in acupuncture meridians, arteries, veins, nerves and chakra (energy centers). When there is a blockage, the organ in question stops vibrating at a healthy frequency resulting in some kind of illness. A chakra may be under active, overactive, or blocked. These may be temporary conditions or reflect a more deeply held pattern. For example, sudden emotional stress may drive the solar plexus into an overactive drive, whereas long term emotional stress may cause a person to nearly shut down the solar plexus chakra so that the person may avoid feeling any more hurt. Of course, this also means that the person lessens the ability to feel at all, including pleasure. Harmonious synchronization between the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies results in health. Probably the most direct and effective healing force for restoring harmony is through the experience of powerful resonant sounds. The sounds and vibration treatments help balance the chakra in two ways. At the same time that the disharmonious conditions are being adjusted or removed, a sacred space is created for strengthening of the person's Higher Self connection or "Divine Blueprint." When an unbalanced energetic condition is removed, it is always wise to fill the void created with the highest aspect of Intention that the person is willing to embrace.
