Our bodies can be amazingly resilient when it comes to responding to stress. While stress is the number one instigator of illness there’s much we can do to minimize its influence.
One way to address and neutralize the stress effect is with sound. In my office I almost always play relaxing music – Native American flute works well – and I often use tuning forks for this purpose, as well.
Stress, Bio-energetic Fields, and Tuning Forks
I just ran across an article on sound therapy that extols its benefits – focusing mostly on the use of Tibetan singing bowls. I like tuning forks because they’re easy to manipulate and I’ve found more written about them.
Some of the newer literature talks about how the vibrations generated by the vibrating forks resonate with and restore harmony to energy fields that are innate to our bodies. These fields – scalar, torsion, and morphic fields – in turn structure information that guides the functioning of our cells and tissues.
Biologist Rupert Sheldrake and bio-physicist Fritz Albert Popp explain that these fields are necessary to account for and organize the speed and complexity of biological functioning.
These organizing fields also explain why vibrational and frequency based healing methods are often so effective.
In Eileen Day McKusick’s book Tuning the Human Biofield – Healing with Vibrational Sound Therapy she discusses how tuning forks interact with our DNA to trigger physical healing and repair.
Your Heart and Love – The Ultimate Healing Frequency
Sound therapy is great. And it’s always fun to have special gadgets like tuning forks or Tibetan bowls to play with to generate healing frequencies.
However, the truth is – the neuro-cardiological truth is – your heart is a frequency generator. Your very own heart is the mother load of vibrational healing.
With every heartbeat your heart emits a field of energy and information that interacts with and informs every cell in your body. We could say that your heart sends out a homeopathic signal or remedy with each beat.
When you experience love or appreciation your heart’s vibrational message becomes positive and healing – all the way to positively influencing your DNA.
Here’s an exercise to trigger heart-based vibrational healing.
- Tune into the center of your chest around your heart and notice what you feel … pressure, tension, emptiness, a heartbeat, or any tinge of emotional sensation … good, bad, or indifferent … just notice how you experience that area around your heart.
- Breathe slowly and consciously … just enough to connect you with your heart experience …. no judging, no fixing, no forced healing breaths, just be present to yourself in a kind and patient way.
- Bring to mind something, someone, or someplace that touches your heart and allow yourself to feel appreciation or love. That’s all. Notice how that touches into your heart area while you breathe slowly.
- Sit with, sustain, and appreciate this heart-felt (it’s not so much about thinking) experience.
The HeartMath researchers have shown that the exercise above … when practiced for thirty minutes daily … positively influence DNA gene expression, hormone repair, cognition, memory, and more.
Practice, Practice, Practice.
