A basic premise of using sound for healing is the fact that every part of our body is in a state of vibration. When we are healthy and happy, our bodies hum along at optimal frequencies. We are like a symphony orchestra playing the Suite of the Self.
But what happens when the first violinist loses her sheet music? The violin section begins to falter. The violas and cellos become hesitant. The double bass loses the beat. The woodwinds sigh and cry. The brass runs amok. The whole orchestra falls apart – just like the body with dis-ease.
Jonathan Goldman used this excellent analogy to ask the question, “What if we could somehow project the correct resonant frequency back to the first violinist – with our voice?” From pain to stress relief, from emotional blocks to physical illness, we can use our voice to bring ourselves back to our optimal frequency.
As an experiment, next time you are stressed (e.g. – in the airport security line!), hum quietly and lovingly to yourself. Breathe whenever you need to. Just pick a note that feels comfortable and resonant. Then hum.
When I tried this in the airports both to and from the Intensive, I felt myself immediately relax. In order to hum, my body breathed deeper. In less than a minute, my flipping-out mind dropped into my body while simultaneously shedding stress through the sound. It was heaven.
Prescription: Hum daily
– with love
– for fun and health.
