Regardless of where we grew up, or went to school, somewhere along the way almost all of us got the program—usually from a primary school teacher—that our bodies are made up of about 75 percent water, much like our earth. This is only partially true.
With our modern technology, quantum physics research and other scientific developments, we now know there is no such thing as “solids” as we once thought—all matter is energy in a state of vibration. Consequently, matter is made up of frequency and sound. Our bodies are actually made of 100 percent sound.
Energy, sound, frequency and vibration are basically the same thing; vibration is simply the primary nature of energy. Everything that vibrates emits a sound, whether or not it falls within our human hearing range. And the measurement of this sound is referred to as frequency, based upon how “frequently” the vibrations vibrate.
Frequency rates are measured in hertz (Hz), which indicate the number of cycles per second (cps) at which a particular frequency vibrates, and modern physics research shows us that the form and density of all matter is determined by its frequency. The energy of our bones and teeth vibrates at very slow and low frequencies, so they have the most defined physical form and density within the body. Our muscles, ligaments and organs vibrate at faster and higher frequency rates, so they have a more malleable form and less density. Our fluids—blood and water—vibrate at much faster and higher rates of frequency, and in turn, have a much less defined form and considerably less density—our body fluids are amorphous and their form determined by our skin and body structure.
These examples relate only to the physical body, but we also have an emotional body that is rooted in our astral body. A mental body rooted in the causal body. And an etheric or soul body rooted in spirit.
In other words, our bodies are literally walking symphonies of sound, each one unique with its own specific frequency pattern. “Sound therapy” can use this frequency in healing. A diagnostic voice analysis by a trained sound therapist can assess brain wave patterns and interpret a personal vibratory signature to be used in healing. This healing process is two-fold, both passive and active: The passive part is simply listening to the notes, tones and sounds that support and stimulate the brain to eventually produce its own dormant or missing frequencies to effect healing. This occurs naturally through the brain wave entrainment created by the repetition of the appropriate sounds, a principle that can be easily understood by observing how some songs stick in our heads.
The active part of sound therapy involves using the voice for toning. Vocal toning is simply using the voice in a healing, yet non-musical manner, to relax, release, regenerate and move energy through specific pitches, tones and vowel sounds. With this organic, therapeutic and fun healing modality, anyone can become a “being of sound body.”
