Most of the time we a bombarded by disharmonious noises - e.g. traffic, fridge, dogs barking, loud
music, even by electric current. Sound can cripple or heal. Initially thoughts and emotions manifest as
frequencies. Sound can change the rhythms of our brainwaves, as well as our heartbeat and
respiration. In India there are ragas (meaning 'mood' or 'mode') for every hour of the day and season.
The octave represents a complete cycle of sounds. The division of sounds is akin to mathematical
proportions. Confucius (5th c. BC China), Pythagoras (5th c. BC), Plato (4th c. BC Greece) deeply
investigated the mysteries of these intervals. They believed that sound created a heavenly link and
brought sacred energies down into the world of matter.

No matter how closely you listen, you will not hear the Earth hum –
but humming it is. Far far below the range of human
hearing, waves of energy are causing the ground beneath
your feet to rise and fall about three-millionths of an inch
every few minutes. Studies over the past decade have
proved that the hum is far too constant for it to be seismic
activity of small earthquakes. A likely origin is two ocean
waves traveling in opposite directions, colliding over
continental shelves sending a cacophony down to the sea
floor triggering vibrations that ripple through the planet.
Broadly defined infrasound waves are longer than 56 feet
and below 20 Hz. Crashing waves, hurricanes, tsunamis,
tornadoes, volcanoes and avalanches generate infra low
frequency sounds. A sign of a lengthy infrasound wave
passing by, is a slight variation in air pressure.
Detecting this signal can give an advance warning of

Schumann Resonance
Research in Biophysics suggests that our biological system is tuned into the background
frequency of our planet - the Schumann Resonance - a steady pulse of 7.83 Hz which beats
around the planet in the cavity between the earth & ionosphere. It is affected by lightning & sunspot
activity. It has been found that this frequency is also the dominant brainwave rhythm of all mammals.
Weather may be influenced by group consciousness (nothing new about this to some indigenous
tribes). Weather is strongly influenced by Earth resonance frequencies (Schumann frequencies). But
those same frequencies are also produced in our brains, and when many people synchronize their
thinking or when spiritual masters focus their thoughts in a laser-like fashion, then it is not at all
surprising that they can influence the weather.

Our auditory capacity ranges from approximately 16Hertz to 20,000 Hz (cycles per
second) and is ten times larger in range than our visual capacity, which extends from
infrared to ultra violet wavelengths. While our audible memory far exceeds our visual
memory, there is an enormously greater audible functioning happening in our
subconscious than we are aware of.
How conscious are we? Are some of us unconscious nomads looking for a ‘fix’ to our discord? Do we
spread discord and noise, or do we contribute to harmony? Are we are responsible for everything we
listen to and everything we generate. Sound can produce beauty and inspiration, or it can be
destructive, shattering, violent and painful. Using Sound to reintroduce harmony and sympathetic
resonance can transform and heal.
Today we live in a rapid, dynamic, ever-changing and disposable society bringing fear and stress - the
disease of the body, emotions and mind.
Through Sound it is possible to change rhythms of our brainwaves, our heartbeat as
well as our respiration. These principles of using resonance and entrainment are
fundamental concepts behind the use of Sound to heal and transform. From ancient
times, sound and music is used as a powerful tool for self-transformation. It facilitates
the experience of ourselves and in so doing, we experience mankind and the rest of the
world.

Ultrasonic Sound
Refers to sound waves over 20,000 Hz., above the frequencies of
audible sound.
Sounds in the range 20-100 kHz are commonly used for communication and
navigation by bats, dolphins and some other species.
Medical diagnostic ultrasound scans extend to 1 to 20MHz. The use of longer
wavelengths implies lower resolution since the maximum resolution of any
imaging process is proportional to the wavelength of the imaging wave.
Infrasonic Sound
Refers to sound waves below 20 Hz., under the frequencies of audible sound.
Infrasound can travel for long distances and go through objects, including buildings,
dense forests and even mountains.
Sources of infrasound in nature include volcanoes, avalanches, earthquakes and meteorites. The
eruption of the Fuego volcano in Guatamala produced infrasonic sound in excess of 120 decibels in the
range below 10Hz. Mt Erebus, an active volcano in Antarctica generated very strong ultrasonic sounds
while the audible sounds were unremarkable. Ocean storms and waves generate a lot of infrasound.
Studies of infrasound of hurricanes offer some hope of deciphering the infrasound signature of an
approaching hurricane. Infrasound detectors are used to detect avalanches and send warning signals.
A number of animals produce and use sounds in the infrasonic range for communication over very
long distances. After 2004 tsunami it was reported that dogs refused to go outside, zoo animals that
wouldn't leave their shelters and elephants that burst their chains rushing to higher ground.
Elephants, whales, tigers, rhinos, giraffe, horses and other animals communicate using low frequency
sounds, some of which are infrasonic. It could be that herd animals rely on infrasound to keep the
group together and to communicate over distance.
Animals
Cats
30Hz is the high end of Beta waves and is roughly coincident with the
frequency of cat’s purrs.
According to an article in the London Telegraph 2001 by David Harrison:
“……the purring of cats is naturally healing and occurs between the
frequencies of 27 and 44 Hz which are the dominant frequencies for house
cats. Studies confirm that exposure to these specific frequencies naturally
heal and strengthen human bones and help them grow. This includes all cats
purr though not tigers.

Intelligence & Self-awareness: A wide variety of behaviours, including those
associated with grief, making music, art, altruism, allomothering, play, use of
tools, compassion and self-awareness is evidence of a highly intelligent species on
par with cetaceans and primates. Elephants recognize that the image in the mirror
is their own self and such abilities are considered the basis for empathy, altruism
and higher social interactions. This ability has been demonstrated in humans,
apes, dolphins and magpies.
The largest areas in the elephant brain are those responsible for hearing, smell and movement
coordination. Their sense of hearing and smell is exceptional. Hearing receptors reside not only in
ears, but also in trunks that are sensitive to vibrations, and most significantly feet, which have special
receptors for low frequency sound.
Elephants are famous for their trumpet calls which are made during excitement - from startlement, to
a cry for help, to rage. They make rumbling growls when greeting each other. The growl can become a
bellow and a bellow can become a prolonged moan. This can escalate to a roar when threatening
another elephant or another animal.
Pioneering research in elephant infrasound communication has been carried out by Katy Payne, of the
Elephant Listening Project (detailed in her book, 'Silent Thunder').
This research shows how elephants can find distant potential mates and how social groups are able to
coordinate their movements over extensive range. Male and female elephants will find one another for
reproduction. With 2 years of gestation followed by two more for nursing, a female is receptive only a
few days every 4 to 5 years. The female is no sooner in estrus than she is surrounded by males until
her period of receptivity ends. The answer lies in a unique sequence of intense, low frequency calls
that receptive females make during their estrus. This sequence always has the same form and
technically may be called a ‘song’.
A new calf is usually the centre of attention and all herd members gather around the newborn,
touching and caressing it with their trunks. Everyone in the herd cares and protects the young. The
mother will usually select several full-time baby-sitters or "allomothers” who will help in aspects of
raising the calf. A roar and a scream from a distressed baby calf creates havoc as the relatives rush to
the rescue. Their rumbles of panic were among the strongest infrasonic calls recorded.
It is marvelous to see the ‘silent’ mass coordination and simultaneous arrival of several groups of
elephants from different directions. Sometimes there may be synchronous freezing or simultaneous
calling. The haphazard wanderings of family groups most often are not random but coordinated with
other groups.
Whale Song
There were hundreds of thousands of these mammals at the beginning of the 20th century but they
have been hunted close to extinction. They are extremely intelligent and have a complex
communication system known as ‘songs’. Group loyalty is strong and each pod has its own particular
dialect. They are the first mammals known to have dialects in the same way as human language. The
blue whale is 100ft/31m long, weighs over 100 tons, is the largest animal ever to inhabit the planet.

CETACEANS
i.e. whales,
dolphins
and
porpoises
are warm
blooded, air
breathing
marine
mammals
which give
birth
to live
young.
These
marine mammals map out their world through sound and are greatly dependent on
sound for communication and sensation, more so than land mammals, due to the
limitation of the other senses in water. "Seeing" with sound is called echolocation which
helps them locate food and navigate underwater. Dolphins make sounds above the
range of human hearing that helps them see detailed "pictures" of objects in the water.
A higher sound which has a shorter wavelength, produces a more detailed "picture".
Toothed whales e.g. Killer whales and Bottle-nose dolphins use ECHOLOCATION for
hunting and navigating, while Baleen whales e.g. Humpbacks and Blue whales found in
the Indian Ocean, are known to produce repetitive sounds at varying frequencies
known as ‘WHALE SONG’. Marine biologist Philip Clapham describes the song as
"probably the most complex in the animal kingdom". Whale songs with other sounds
representing our Earth planet, were carried into outer space by Voyager.
Toothed whales generally produce low frequency sounds by moving air between air-spaces or sinuses
in the head. Membranes are sucked together, causing the surrounding tissue to vibrate. These
vibrations can be controlled with great sensitivity and can be directed into a beam of sound for
echolocation. These sounds are reflected out & echoed back from objects providing information about
the seafloor, the shorelines, underwater obstacles, water depth, and the presence of other animals
underwater. A recent theory suggests that very high intensity focused sounds may be used to stun or
disorient prey in hunting. Lower sounds travel further in water because they have longer wavelengths.
These sounds are too low for humans to hear. The speed of sound in water is roughly four times faster
than in the atmosphere at sea level.
When Humpbacks ‘sing’ it is a very specific communication linked to migration, feeding and mating
patterns - not related to echolocation or other forms of communication. They often sing long
complicated songs lasting up to 30 or so minutes, over and over again, over the course of hours or
even days and can be heard up to 100 miles away. Mating songs are performed exclusively by males
competing for females. Slight changes to a song may be determined by social ranking. Specific whale
sounds are thought to be used to identify other individuals, for long-range contact and to warn of
threats, as well as navigation. Each whale species, like the Orca, has its own set of sounds. Groups of
whales within the same species often make calls that differ from other populations. Whales occupying
the same geographical areas (which can be as large as entire ocean basins) tend to sing similar songs,

with only slight variations. Whales from non-overlapping regions sing entirely different songs. Most
other whales and dolphins produce sounds of varying degrees of complexity. Of particular interest is
the Beluga (the "sea canary") which produces an immense variety of whistles, clicks and pulses etc
Research by Dr Christopher Clark of Cornell University using 30 years of military submarine testing
data, showed that whale sounds travel up to 3,000 km. His research indicates that ambient noise from
boats is doubling each decade, reducing the range at which whale songs can be heard. Because these
sea mammals are so dependent on hearing, the increased noise is creating undue stress on the ability
to find a mate, thereby negatively affecting the overall population.

Water
In ancient belief where underground water rose up from the ground
it was considered sacred and to have high energy levels, making it
the ideal for erecting a shrine. In ancient times people paid true
respect to water (fertility symbol). But in recent times water lost its
mystique becoming just another substance of technology.
The lesson that we learn has to do with the power of sound, intent and words. The
simple act of announcing your intentions, the realization of it will follow and gather
energy towards you.
The vibration of good words has a positive effect on our world (frequency + intention =
healing)…..whereas the vibration from negative words has the power to destroy…. and
the act of verbalization has the power to change the world (visualization + vocalization
= manifestation).
When water has had certain words, concentrated thoughts or pictures directed towards
it, high-speed photography shows the changes and the effects on crystals that form in
frozen water. It seems that complete geometric crystals are formed when water is in
alignment with nature and the phenomenon we call life. When crystals do not form,
there is a fundamental failure to remember the laws of nature.
Dr. Emoto’s work provides factual evidence that human vibrational energy, thoughts,
words, ideas & sound affect the molecular structure of water.
“Remember that water comprises over 70% of a mature human body & covers the same
amount on our planet. Water is the very source of all life. The fact that the molecular
structure of the water can be affected by our consciousness, our intent & our sounds is
healingsounds.co.za/content/about-sound-1 11/18

extremely important & may have great implications for the future of personal and
planetary harmony as well as healing.”
In an experiment when Saturn had a large influence on Earth, it was found that lead was easily soaked
up by paper floating in water, while other elements e.g. copper, silver, steel
showed little or no response…showing a close connection between Saturn
and lead, so the logical deduction is that Saturn, lead and anger are all
closely related.
Rupert Sheldrake proposes that events are capable of resonating in the same way that sound
resonates e.g. when someone becomes aware of something, then other people also tend to become
similarly aware. The location where such events take place (morphic field) and the phenomena of
repeated similar events (morphic resonance) has an instantaneous impact on all space and all
time. The combined will of many people can act as a force to change the world.

transmission of energy is not affected by time and distance and exists everywhere all the time.
EXPERIMENT #2
Human placenta DNA (the most pristine form of DNA) was placed in a container from which they
could measure changes in the DNA. Twenty-eight vials were given (one each) to 28 trained
researchers, who had been trained how to generate and FEEL feelings and strong emotions.
It was discovered that DNA changed its shape according to the feelings:-
1. When the researchers felt gratitude, love and appreciation, the DNA responded by relaxing, the strands
unwound and became longer.
2. When the researchers felt anger, fear, frustration or stress, the DNA responded by tightening up, the strands
became shorter and switched off many of the DNA codes. These codes were reversed and were switched back
on again when feelings of love, joy, gratitude and appreciation were felt by the researchers.
With HIV positive patients they discovered that feelings of love, gratitude and
appreciation created 300,000 times the resistance. So, by staying in these positive feelings,
you can maintain an incredibly strong immune system.
We live through our feelings and this is how we echo our reality. As you can see from
everything that I have placed on this website, fundamental to all Life, is a pulsating web
of frequencies. Sound plays an integral part in echoing our overall existence,
connecting us with the energy and matter of a pulsating Universe.
Reported by Greg Braden, scientist & engineer.
To make the “sound” researchers struck hydrogen atoms with short, intense laser pulses. They then
scaled the vibration speeds, or frequencies, down to about 1,000 Hertz, for a human audible pitch.
Researchers analyzed molecular motions by breaking them into their various frequencies or vibration
speeds. Different frequencies create different pitches in music. The molecular frequencies could thus
be analyzed as if they were musical chords. Just as a C Major chord sounds different from a d minor
chord, other molecules also would have their own unique sound.
There is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and
reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes. Only 10%
of our DNA which is used for building proteins, is of interest to western researchers and is being
examined and categorized. The other 90% are considered "junk DNA."
According to Russian researchers our DNA is not only responsible for the construction of our body but
also serves as data storage and communication. It was discovered that the genetic code (especially in
the "useless" 90%) follows the same rules as all our human languages. They found that the alkalines of
our DNA follow a regular grammar and have set rules just like our languages. It is clear that human
languages did not appear coincidentally but are a reflection of our inherent DNA.

It was proven that since the basic structure of DNA-alkaline
pairs and of language is of the same, no DNA decoding is
necessary. One can simply use words and sentences of the
human language!
Russian scientists, through modulated radio and light frequencies are repairing genetic defects. They
have even captured information patterns of a particular DNA and transmitted it onto another, thus
reprogramming cells to another genome. e.g. they successfully transformed frog embryos to
salamander embryos simply by transmitting the DNA information patterns! The entire information
was transmitted without any of the side effects or disharmonies encountered when cutting out and re-
introducing single genes from the DNA.
Of course the frequency has to be correct. In self healing the individual must work on his/her inner
processes and development in order to establish a conscious communication with the DNA. The more
developed an individual’s consciousness is, the greater the communication and healing potential.
Our DNA can cause disturbing patterns in a vacuum, thus producing magnetized
wormholes! Wormholes are the microscopic equivalents of the so-called Einstein-Rosen
bridges in the vicinity of black holes (left by burned-out stars). These are tunnel
connections between entirely different areas in the universe through which information
can be transmitted outside of space and time. DNA attracts these bits of information
passing them on to our consciousness and one suddenly gains access to information
that is outside one's knowledge base. Such hyper-communication is then experienced as
inspiration, intuition, trance, telepathy and channeling. The side effects encountered
most often in hyper-communication in humans are inexplicable electromagnetic fields
in the vicinity of the persons concerned. Stress, worry, hyperactive intellect prevents
hyper-communication or the information will be totally distorted.
We attain access to all information via our DNA. Remote healing, telepathy or "remote sensing" about
the state of another, can thus be explained. Some animals know from afar when their owners plan to
return home. All this can be freshly interpreted and explained via the concepts of group consciousness
and hyper-communication.
One of the notes on the Solfeggio Scale, particularly the one that
vibrates at 528 Hz has been used by biochemists to repair human
DNA.
This is echoed by Dr. Candice Pert, PhD, who states that energy and vibration go all the way to the
molecular level. When vibration and frequency reaches the 70 different receptors on the molecules
they too begin to vibrate. This vibration at the cellular level, opens the chromosomes and exposes the
DNA to the frequencies.

the music were determined by measuring the DNA test
tube samples' absorption of UV light after an hour of

absorption.

Sound is a highly effective tool for healing and fortunately, one does not need to believe in it for it to
work. Most vibrational energy practitioners address the bodymind and when the power of creative
intention is included into the therapy, it greatly amplifies the effectiveness of healing whereby a
successful outcome is intensified. The Sound Therapy experience I offer includes time for simplifying
and refocusing with heart to formulate a clear impeccable intention. Intention consciously draws on
the universal energy field empowering and dramatically accelerating the healing process. The mind
holds immense healing and creative powers which continue to work on your behalf as long as
conscious focus of intention is maintained.
Simply put, ‘intention’ means focusing the mind with heart to bring thoughts and feelings into a
simplified clarity and using visualization to create this reality - different from ‘hope’, which relies on
help from external forces and sits in the position of capitulation wishing to be in another place because
the present situation is uncomfortable or too painful. Hope contains ‘the victim’ and lacks the energy
necessary for the creativity in searching for growth and truth within the situation one is confronted
with. Whether we are aware of it or not, we use the force of intention either positively or negatively
every moment of our every day. Our thoughts, feelings and dreams are the templates for the results
and experiences of our lives. In this context, like attracts like.
Creative intention has a sense of being deeply inspired, deeply moved. We are
motivated to respond to a deeper calling with the unwavering knowing that our
intention is not only reachable, but also will become a reality – ‘it is so’.
Lack of success usually stems from unresolved issues, negative beliefs harboured as
subconscious fears and old, ingrained issues that we may not even be aware of. Nothing
can become a part of our reality unless our thinking-feeling, conscious-subconscious

mind is in alignment and fully engaged in the intention. This is where Sound creates an
environment for the mind to soften and become spacious from its chaotic milieu,
allowing it to harmoniously repattern according to the clear intention that the heart has
just articulated. Intention ‘seeds’ itself in the creative fertility of Silence, where stillness
is moved by a consciousness that powerfully recognizes, not only itself, but also
becomes one with the infinite mysteries of all and everything. Intent is comprised of
many levels which one may or may not attain in a lifetime. It all becomes a magical
journey of discovery.
The teachings of Don Juan Matus were recorded in a number of books by Carlos Castenada who,
under his guidance, walked the road of ‘the spiritual warrior’. His experiences go deeply into the
subject of ‘intent’.
Warriors know that one of the most engaging mysteries is how ‘will’ changes to ‘intent’.
The strangest part of this mystery is that in actuality, the change is so easy to
accomplish. Will channels the energy of our total being to produce anything within the
boundaries of possibility. Will is what allows us to succeed when our thoughts tells us
we are defeated. This is when will expands into the wondrous force of intent that
connects us with the pattern of spirit.
Very few people realize the importance of sound frequencies that energize our entire
brain and also the rest of our body.
At the beginning of life the development of the human embryo is largely reliant on

receiving a wide range of sound frequencies via
the foetal ear, known as the ‘primitive brain’
triggering the messaging to every part of the
vibrantly growing foetus. These frequencies are
passed down the mother’s spinal column,
through the hip cradle, rippling into the
amniotic waters and received by the ‘primitive
brain’ of the unborn child in the womb.
disconnected from our world. When the inability to hear sound coherently from outside
to the inner ear is left too long, the brain becomes disengaged and inert which in turn
can bring on depression, stress, moodiness, fatigue and early dementia. A wide range of
frequencies ‘exercise’ the brain slowing down the rate at which it deteriorates.
In my opinion don’t leave the inability to hear a wide spectrum of sounds too long. Look
after your ears, get them tested and be aware of what you listen to that affects your
audible functioning. Audible stimulation keeps memory alive in the elderly – a lack of it
brings memory loss. If you need hearing aids then celebrate that such amazing
technically advanced micro systems have been developed. It’s similar to the marvel of
wearing glasses and seeing clearly the sparkle and definition of flowers, the shine on
leaves and the range of colours for the first time. Our audible range is approximately 10
times larger than our visual range so you can imagine the subtleties that can be
celebrated with the improved landscape of physical hearing and the psychological gifts
that this bestows on our entire being.

Your ear is your primary organ of consciousness not only for hearing but also for
charging the brain, body posture, balance, muscle tone and determining direction. In
acupuncture the entire body is reflected holographically on the outer ear. These energy
points are highly sensitive to sound which travels through acupuncture pathways
stimulating and energizing the body.

generate serenity and power. Other music also have suitably high frequencies – Handel,
Vivaldi, Boccherini, Rossini, Telemann, Haydn, Bach and Tchaikovsky. Researchers
found that string music was most effective for ‘Superlearning Music’ probably because
the music for violin, mandolin, harpsichord or guitar contain high frequencies and help
recharge the brain.
The ear transmutes sound into energy along two auditory nerves. One nerve branch
dynamizes the cortex which distributes energy throughout the body’s entire nervous
system providing a beneficial dynamic flow to both mind and body. The other branch,
the vestibular nerve, determines posture and muscle tone throughout the body. This
dual function of the auditory nerves allows sound to recharge the mind, release stress
and at the same time tone muscle.
But beneficial sounds (high frequencies) can’t help you if you can’t hear them.
Tomatis found that varied high/low frequency sounds
gave the middle ear a gymnastic workout so that it
reopened its high-frequency hearing power. The brain
swiftly responded restoring vitality to the entire
organism. Tomatis discovered that the most powerful
frequency for rapidly recharging the brain cortex was
in the 8000 Hertz range. In fact benefits increased
when notes in the music under 2000Hz were filtered
out (about 3 octaves above middle C). Magnetic brain-
mapping confirmed this. Low frequency sounds act as
brain-drain sounds e.g. traffic, airports, construction
sites, buses, large trucks, low pounding music, booming
discos, boom cars – sound pollution is another
contributor to memory smog, high blood pressure and
heart disease.At the beginning of life we all possess a
wide hearing range from 16Hz to 20,000 Hz., but as life
progresses psychological and physical factors cause this Precious child, Precious
range to shrink. hearing, Precious Listening
The idea that specific tones can affect the mind and body has been handed down from the earliest
Semitic and Arabic sacred knowledge. Pythagoras drew on this knowledge. In taking care of our own
‘sound’ health, we may experience new vistas of self-discovery and aliveness that we never knew
existed.
Dr Tomatis’ discoveries have been tested and proved over several decades and deafness, epilepsy,
hyperactivity, autism, dyslexics, stutterers, singers, actors, public speakers have greatly benefitted
from his pioneering work. “The Tomatis Method” feeds more sound into the right ear than the left
because of the direct route to the language centre in the brain. Reading, learning, remembering,
concentration, attention and fatigue vastly improved with this right-ear training. All across the board,
new breakthroughs concerning hearing are giving us powerful new ways to boost and access memory.
