Harmony

This, the third newsletter in our Autumn Series about Energy and Vibration, is devoted to resonance and sound, in particular the sound of the gong. I love the fact that the word resonance means the “return to sound”. Perhaps there is something in sound therapy’s claims for healing.

My inspiration for this topic came to me in Santorini over the summer when I visited a meditation space that offered sound-healing through the use of the gong. (Below is a picture I took of the cave where the Gong Meditation took place.)

The gong is an ancient and sacred instrument and those gongs with healing powers are specially made by master gong-makers for therapy work.

At a “gong bath” the participants wrap up comfortably and lie on cushions and immerse themselves in the sound of the gong. The sounds and vibration of the gong affect the body on a cellular level and by a process known as “entrainment” any cell or part of the body that is out of balance, locks in to a corresponding harmonious sound from the gong and is restored to harmony!

Beyond the immersion of healing, gong sounds, with their unique vibratory frequencies, are said to open up channels within which bridge your connection to your higher self. Gong is said to clear chakras and align energetic body meridians. The gong covers the full spectrum of sound. From each tone, other tones bloom ever-onwards and this can evoke a transcendental experience with divine energy.

Equally fascinating are NASA’s audio space recordings outside Mars and Jupiter which sound like the sounds of gongs playing and which prove that our universe is definitely not silent. Are these the sound of a deep-space resonance – a vibration that holds the whole of the universe together?

Is there a universal sound which encompasses all?  According to the vedic tradition, this sound is AUM or OM which is the cosmic sound frequency. Some claim that 528 hertz is the miracle or God frequency and this tone stems from the ancient 6 tone scale used in sacred music such Gregorian chants. I find all of this very intriguing and I really enjoy pondering upon all things sound and vibration. I think that there is one universal tone and that tone is love and if we all love ourselves we can restore our own equilibriums and that of those around us.
Big Love,

Katie
