All sensations and emotions have sound vibrations whether heard by the physical ear or not. Sounds vibrating at 10 Hz (cycles per second) make data learning a more relaxed and simple process. (39). Negative emotions such as fear, anger or disgust, exist at very low frequency levels. As we become happier in our feelings, the vibrational rates rise accordingly. The vibrations of extremely positive emotions, however, exist at unlimited frequency states. For instance, pleasantness vibrations become happiness one vibrational octave higher, and still another octave higher become joy, then ecstasy, then rapture__ it just keeps going. “The English language has no words for these higher octave emotions, since they are realms where humans seldom tread.” (12)
Hans Jenny, in his study of Cymatics, shows innumerable photographs of beautifully symmetrical shapes formed by powders jiggled on a surface vibrated by a specific sound. “Physical resonance results from the vibrating air ‘shaking up’ molecules and causing the energy system to synchronize with itself in standing waves, which, out of random chaos, produce order, symmetry and stability.” Standing waves... “are inherently self-reinforcing and accordingly tend to maintain their existence. Consequently, they are a fundamental characteristic of any self-organizing system, such as your body" .... "Sound can produce order out of randomness by causing an energy system to synchronize with itself, producing standing waves.” Any increase in coherency moves in the direction of a greater life force and increased health.

This author has experienced healing through the use of Sound Wave Energy CD’s, developed by Nicole La Voie, based on Hans Jenny’s experiments. Played while sleeping or relaxing, each CD disk produces the sound vibrations of one of the seven chakras (Figure 2), and others reproduce the vibrations of states of mind like Unconditional Love, Relaxation, Abundance and Higher Mind.

Children or adults who are speech disadvantaged are often able to sing the words that give them so much difficulty__ they spill out easily when put to music. Group or partner sing-alongs are especially beneficial, for then these souls, so often left out or looked down upon, can join with others in producing beautiful sounds as equals, totally accepted by the group. My granddaughter Amber, severely challenged with epilepsy, is often hard to understand when speaking, but music has given her wings: she sang a solo at her high school choir concert, every word sweet and clear as a bell.
Research indicates humans, birds and whales may have had a common ancestor. “This seems to signal that the roots of music lie closer to our ancient lizard brain than to our more recent reasoning cortex, and that music has a more ancient origin than language.” (90)
A blocked system in a human being has a lower vibration than his nervous system, and certain types of music can resonate with both. Sharry Edwards’ Healing With Sound (91) indicates we must change our ideas about the energies of sound, light, color, emotion and thought. Physical body vibrations for someone who is extremely stressed can be seen and heard in their body language and voice tones. When Edwards hears a diseased person’s voice, she can discern which tones are absent. Then she treats the individual with the missing sounds, reproducing them with her own voice. Repeated treatments bring relief and eventual cures. (91)
A profound link exists between human brain wave patterns and the missing vocal frequencies. Edwards has discovered it also corresponds to the motions of the planets. ”All diseases are really psychosomatic (caused by mind and emotions). You can temporarily remove the symptom, but for a permanent cure, you must remove the cause, which is always in the feelings and thinking.” (91)
One way music heals is through Focus (a creative skill). By placing our entire attention on any music, we synchronize and resonate with it. The Intentions (creative skill) of both composer and performer then merge with us through the music. Whatever their motivations, we will experience a similar effect while we listen.
Tom Kenyon related: “Recently, someone sent me a recording of crickets, and if you play it at the regular speed you recognize them as regular crickets. But if you slow it down, the recording sounds like a choir of angels singing. So the harmonics within the cricket sounds are extremely complex.” (39)
