<\/div>\nAs\u00a0sound healing becomes more popular, more and more people are starting to experiment with it. You have people learning how to chant, listening to specific frequencies, and using singing bowls. It\u2019s not just those of us\u00a0who are interested in spirituality and New Age concepts that are looking into this ancient Eastern knowledge, but scientists as well,\u00a0studying these sounds and how they affect the body.<\/p>\n
Though sound healing is only now beginning to enter\u00a0into the mainstream, it\u2019s been used as an ancient healing modality for many centuries in different religions. Even scientists such as Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein spoke of the importance of viewing everything in terms of vibration, energy, and frequency.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to find the secrets of the universe,
\nthink in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\u2013 Nikola Tesla<\/p>\n
\nScience has proven that everything is made up of energy and that everything holds its own vibration and frequency, which can then be increased or decreased. One person\u2019s vibration that they\u2019re emitting can then affect another person\u2019s energy, and science has proven this interrelation through studying quantum mechanics and our electromagnetic fields or auras. You can read more about the research The HeartMath Institute is conducting on the heart\u2019s aura and how we affect other people\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\nWith that logic, since sounds also hold their own frequency, wouldn\u2019t it make sense that a specific sound\u2019s frequency would affect that of our own?<\/p>\n
The Science Behind Sound Healing<\/h3>\n
Dr. Herbert Benson, professor, author, cardiologist, and founder of Harvard\u2019s Mind\/Body Medical Institute, studied\u00a0how sound healing, specifically mantric chanting, can help induce the\u00a0Relaxation Response<\/a>. The Relaxation Response\u00a0is defined as an individual\u2019s ability to prompt their body to\u00a0release chemicals and brain signals that cause\u00a0muscles to relax, respiration\u00a0to slow, and blood pressure to drop.<\/p>\nThe Relaxation Response can\u00a0reduce symptoms of IBS<\/a>\u00a0and counteract the physiological changes of stress and the fight or flight response, including\u00a0muscle tension, headache, upset stomach, racing heartbeat, and shallow breathing.<\/p>\nDr. Ranjie Singh,\u00a0a neuroscientist, writer, businessman, and global educator, found that chanting specific mantras\u00a0releases\u00a0the hormone melatonin<\/a>, and this\u00a0in turn offers many benefits, including tumour shrinkage and enhanced sleep.<\/p>\nChanting has been found to\u00a0oxygenate the brain, reduce heart rate, improve blood pressure, and calm brainwave activity. It can even\u00a0cause the left and right hemispheres of the brain\u00a0to synchronize<\/a>.<\/p>\nJonathan Goldman, American author, musician, and teacher in the fields of harmonics and sound healing,\u00a0says<\/a>:<\/p>\nDr. Alfred Tomatis has utilized the sounds of Gregorian Monks to stimulate the ears, brain and nervous systems of clients. His work is very important with regard to the scientific and medical uses of sound and chant. He found that certain sounds that are particularly high in vocal harmonics will stimulate and charge the cortex of the brain and the nervous system. Some years ago, there was a very popular recording of Gregorian chanting that occurred just when this research was being made public. I know that many other types of chanting from different traditions have very similar effects. These are just a few of the hard physical phenomenon of mantric chanting that have been observed. There certainly are others, as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Another\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0performed in 2006 looked at the effects of transcendental meditation (TM), a form of meditation whereby the practitioner continuously repeats a mantra or chants, and concluded that TM can improve blood pressure and\u00a0cardiac autonomic nervous system tone and decrease risk of\u00a0coronary heart disease.<\/p>\nA\u00a0series of experiments<\/a>\u00a0conducted by neuro-electric therapy engineer Dr. Margaret Patterson and Dr. Ifor Capel revealed how alpha brainwaves boosted the production of serotonin.\u00a0Dr. Capel\u00a0explained:\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n[A]s far as we can tell, each brain center generates impulses at a specific frequency based on the predominant neurotransmitter it secretes. In other words, the brain\u2019s internal communication system\u2014its language, if you like\u2014is based on frequency\u2026 Presumably, when we send in waves of electrical energy at, say, 10 Hz, certain cells in the lower brain stem will respond because they normally fire within that frequency range.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Additional research upholds the beliefs of mind-body medicine in this sense, stating that brainwaves being in the Alpha state,\u00a08 to 14 Hz<\/a>, permits a vibration allowing for more serotonin to be created.<\/p>\nWhy You Should Consider Listening to A=432 HZ\u00a0Music<\/h3>\n
Most music worldwide has been tuned to A=440 Hz since the International Standards Organization (ISO) promoted it in 1953. However, when looking at the vibratory nature of the universe, it\u2019s possible that this pitch isn\u2019t actually harmonious with the natural resonance of nature and may generate negative effects on human behaviour and consciousness.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s said that A=440 HZ frequency music actually conflicts with some of our chakras that reside from the base of the spine to the heart.\u00a0It is said that this music stimulates the ego and left-brain function, which can suppress\u00a0our intuition. There are tons of conspiracies surrounding this frequency, and many\u00a0seem plausible\u00a0given the fact that the mainstream music industry incorporates propaganda and\u00a0mind control<\/a>.<\/p>\n
With that logic, since sounds also hold their own frequency, wouldn\u2019t it make sense that a specific sound\u2019s frequency would affect that of our own?<\/p>\n
