MUSIC MEDICINE

Everything in the universe is in motion -- and it is that motion that creates waves of vibration.

Waves of vibration/oscillation per unit of time = "frequencies".

The sense organs of the human body detect only a fraction of these frequencies.

The typical human ear can only detect temporal vibratory frequencies of about 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

What we usually call "sound" are vibratory frequencies that humans can hear. 

Other animals perceive lower and/or higher frequencies. Often we can feel  frequencies that our ears do not perceive as sound -- for example, if you lie on the ground you may feel the distant rumble of a train. Or you may feel vibrations from drums or loud speakers. Human eyes detect a spectrum of light waves that is different from the spectrum available to other beings. Our most sensitive scientific equipment can detect frequencies that seem undetectable by any sense organ of the human body. This certainly does not mean that such "silent" or "undetectable" frequencies do not affect us. The oscillation of molecules in an apple can be described in terms of frequency (oscillation per unit of time), as can the beating of a heart, nerve impulses, color, and molecules in medicines.

The right frequencies can heal. The wrong frequencies can destroy. 

​

Human consciousness is an endlessly fascinating mystery. Does consciousness have a frequency/frequencies? Do individuals' consciousnesses have unique frequencies? We do know that how we focus our attention and where we focus it greatly impacts our experience and outcome. We always participate in any healing intervention -- whether active or passive, some level(s) of our consciousness engages with any medicine or procedure. Perhaps we are engaging in modifying the frequencies of our consciousness?

What if we trained ourselves to be more conscious participants in this alchemizing of frequency into form?
