The Sound of Music

Music moves me. These vibrations of sound, moving at
different speeds and harmonics, can make me feel like dancing, give me chills,
bring me to tears or relax me into a meditative state. I even used music to
give natural child birth. Jonathan Goldman’s “Dolphin Dreams” was the perfect
piece to bring the calm needed for both my child and myself. Music, being
sounds waves, moves the energy in and around me. Through music, my own
vibration is transformed. Many have heard of the experiments done in 1973 by a woman
named Dorothy Retallack, who played different styles of music to plants
contained in chambers. She found that music made an astonishing difference for
the plants, even though all of the other conditions were the same. The plants
in the chambers with soothing pieces flourished, while those exposed to edgy,
harsh sounds died. She published a book on the subject called The Sound of Music and Plants. Dr.
Masaru Emoto, in his book, The Hidden
Messages in Water, also wrote that water crystals form different shapes,
depending on what music was played. Music played with bright, clear, soothing
tones formed more beautiful, elegant, unified crystals than the water crystals
exposed to violent, heavy metal music, which ended up with fragmented and
malformed shapes. This may lead us to the question, how could this happen? Everything in life has a vibrational frequency of energy.
We, as well as everything around us, are vibrating to some rhythmic degree. We
are connected to everything through this symphony of harmonics. We can become
aware of our own personal vibration and how to maintain our frequency. We can
do this by first “tuning in” to the body and acknowledging its transmission. In
this space we can observe our feelings. These can be anxiety in the pits of our
stomachs, lumps in our throats, or the joyous energy that gives us fuel. Once
these transmissions are acknowledged, they can either be transformed or
nurtured depending on the state of our feelings. When we become conscious of
our bodies’ “feeling messages,” instead of our “mental messages,” we then have
a tool for connecting to these vibrational frequencies. We learn to move toward
the energies that fuel us rather than deplete us. Our bodies are healthier when
vibrating at higher frequencies, as the above authors have explored with the
plants and water. We are now in a position to choose the vibrations of energy
that bring us balanced states of harmony for wholeness. Choosing, with these
ideas in mind, what we put in our homes, bodies, hearts and minds will keep us
in higher vibrations where our connections to Divine Wisdom are more readily
available. The difference between living in everyday life and living in magic
comes from our abilities to connect with the source. When we use and understand
the vibrations of our feelings to guide us, we have inner compasses that point
us toward wholeness. Music provides sound vibrations with different harmonic
frequencies. Listening to pleasant, soulful music can center and align us and
like plants and water crystals give us opportunities to grow in health and well-being.
One of my desires, as a host on Waves, is to offer music that brings our bodies, hearts, and minds
into alignment with our source. I am very interested in your suggestions and
would love to know your favorite soul-filled sounds. Tune in to Waves of the New Age / WAIF 88.3 FM as I
