I love the way the sound vibration from the Tibetan Singing Bowls travel throughout my body. It is almost as if my body is vibrateing. They make me feel so calm and clear. Thanks for reminding me of them.

- Tibetan Singing Bowl (w/ mallet) -

GREAT ONE CORALINNI's!! -- another interestin' article to spark our minds -- "Da Magic of Sound Energy Healin'" -

DAT RIGHT! - da true power of sound has been well documented throughout history...a concept as familiar as our own breath...many ancient n' modern-day spritual practices make constant use of it - even sound n' music therapy clinics have shown quite a growth in recent times - And with so many sound meditation CDs, comprisin' of many eclectic soundscapes....from da simple but beautiful sounds of nature.....to lush and ethereal vocals n' instrumentals that send u on a magical journey to faraway lands n' dimensions --- With conclusive scientific studies even sayin' how healin' sound is to us......and as natural as all of nature itself -- It's no wonder we continue to find such inner pleasure n' bliss -- simply by immersin' ourselves into da world of music and sound ~

YEPZ! -- our intimate n' sacred connection to music n' sound is undeniable --- It moves us deeply.....without us somtimes even aware of it......it may evoke powerful inner emotions n' feelings of da heart.....vivid imagery....hidden subconscious thoughts and memories seem to reveal itself to us in such a profound way dat we never thought was possible -- We might find ourselves experiencin' total bliss n' ecstasy.....or we might burst into tears for no apparent reason ~ Music and sound can be that powerful....bypassin' rational thought n' logic.....truly a universal language ~ OO! ~ in fact, there is an old sayin' dat talks about our inseparability from it:

"A world without music (or sounds).....is like bein' in da middle of an endless desert" ~

And another one!:

"Music's the medicine of the mind"  ~ John A. Loga ~

Not only does it evoke our deepest emotions -- sound & music has its special benefits to our health -- healin' us both physically and, most importantly, spiritually --- As it works from the inside-out --- Certain vibratory frequencies n' harmonic tones workin' together ~ which is perceived in our subconscious mind ~ Our ears picks up these frequencies (as sound-energy waves) -- processed in da auditory part of our cerebral cortex -- and converts these signals into sound which we can hear ~ which in da deeper processes of da mind....works in harmony with our innermost being - our spirit - which heals our spirit - and in turn.....heals our bodies ~ Our Body and Soul, like specifically tuned strings....vibrate sympathetically, resonatin' w/ da frequencies ~ these subtle vibrations heals n' soothes us deep within ~ (like when u feel a "chill" down yer back with certain sounds....our a subtle but constant buzzin'-like sensation encompassin' our whole body) ~

YEPZ! - much like da mystical vibratory frequencies of da ancient tibetan singing bowls -- used in sacred rituals in da Tibetan spiritual tradition -- when hit by a mallet -- and then lightly rubbed along da edge of da bowl --  creates some incredibly awesome soundin' harmonics in sympathetic vibration -- givin' them an otherwordly "singing" quality --- a sound which permeates da deepest parts of our inner being - healin' us from within...and helpin' focus our normally chatterin' minds into single-pointed awareness  ~

OO! - another kind of healin' sound method widely used is what's called "binaural beats" - highly effective in deep relaxation n' allowin' us to delve deeper into da essence of our consciousness - It's essentially da use of two similar pure-tone frequencies only separated by a few frequencies (wave cycles per second) apart -- thus creatin' a new frequency within da two -- pulsatin' in a distinctive "beat" esp. audible in stereo -- (like when two guitar strings are slightly out-of-tune) -- dat sounds kinda like a hoverin' UFO (...or sumthin').  These beats activate our "superior olivary nucleus" in da brain stem (an important part of our hearin') - n' these new frequencies sympathize w/ our normal brain waves.....inducin' brain wave patterns indicative of deep relaxation or  meditation.....(Alpha & Theta waves = low frequency)....and deep deep sleep (Delta waves = very low frequency)

It is used esp. in deep relaxation music for meditation or trance -- for example, Sevara's "Temple Journeys" makes use of these binaural beats ~

Here's some more info about's it! -- INTERESTING's!!

And of course --- there is da one frequency --- da primordial universal frequency dat permeates through da entire cosmos.... encompassin' n' transcendin' all of existence ~  "OM"  ~  da sound of omnipresent cosmic consciousness ~ "Da Voice of da Infinite" ~ A vibration sooooo subtle - we can only hear and feel it beyond our normal sentience -- it can only be discovered from deep within and in all things.....In the Silence ~ Some individuals have reported.....durin' OBE or NDE experiences....to have heard this primordial sound ~ a sacred note ~ in what seems to be da tone of "D" or "C-sharp"  (keys used most often in sacred music......Fascinatin'!!)

(kool note: It has been detected in recent times by cosmologists....dat da entire universe indeed "hums" - in a vibratory nature -- remnants from da "Big Bang" itself.....WOWZ!! -- What could this mean?? -- Just imagine what we'll find when space dudes confirm "Superstring n' M-Theory" ~ whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......(in deeeep thought)

(more on da "universal" hum later's!!) - O_O

Even durin' use of sacred Eastern "Mantra" chantin' -- constantly uses these vibrations -- along w/ others....Mantra chantin' is another very effective use of healin' sound ~ (Ommmmmmmmmmmm............)

MM HMM!! - so whether ur chantin', listenin' to some relaxin' music, or simply listenin' to da sounds of nature - it truly heals n' soothes us....inside n' out!! -

~ Peace, Love, Joy ~
