Sound and vibration
Sound is an essential part of our lives. Even before birth the human being is surrounded by sound; the cardiac beats of a mother, her breathing, and the first experience with the outside world. We live in a world of sounds. Sounds that can be heard and others which cannot. Harmonic sounds and others which are chaotic. Familiar and strange sounds. Sounds that are unbearable and others that soothing.
Sound is generated as a vibratory movement of particles and objects. Vibrations which produce sounds, represent an energy found in nature, witihin ourselves, in our world, in the regions of the satellites, the stars and the universe. On a cosmic level, sound is a universal force, invisible, capable of creating profound changes on all levels (physical, energetic, emotional, spiritual, mental).
If we take the human body, each cell, molecule, tissue, gland, organ, bone is in constant vibration and when it vibrates in harmony we can compare it with a symphony. The entire body vibrates at a fundamental frequency of about 8 cycles per second, literally entraining and attuning us to the basic electromagnetic field of the earth itself! Created with diverse structures, tempos, all are part of one. As is in life. This state of harmony is not static, it is dynamic and influential by the external, world (emotions sensations, physical health) and the the vibrations of all other things around us.
Every string, percussion, wind instrument has an impact on our physical body, on a certain and specific level. Music is rythm and pulse, related to the rhtym and pulse which mantains us healthy. A healthy soul produces a healthy body. Music elevates spirit which brings us closer to the Divine, to God, the fountain of life.
