==Resonance==
* Aum (or OM) is a mantra, or vibration, that is traditionally chanted at the beginning and end of yoga sessions. It is made up of three Sanskrit letters, aa, au and ma which, when combined together, make the sound Aum or Om. It is believed to be the basic sound of the world and to contain all other sounds. It is said to be the sound of the universe. What does that mean? Somehow the ancient yogis knew what scientists today are telling us–that the entire universe is moving. Nothing is ever solid or still. Everything that exists pulsates, creating a rhythmic vibration that the ancient yogis acknowledged with the sound of Aum. We may not always be aware of this sound in our daily lives, but we can hear it in the rustling of the autumn leaves, the waves on the shore, the inside of a seashell. Chanting Aum allows us to recognize our experience as a reflection of how the whole universe moves–the setting sun, the rising moon, the ebb and flow of the tides, the beating of our hearts. As we chant Aum, it takes us for a ride on this universal movement, through our breath, our awareness, and our physical energy, and we begin to sense a bigger connection that is both uplifting and soothing. <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmBj9Ni_CBw Example : Om Sound meditation]</span>
*The gong produces the greatest resonance of any instrument. There are many types of gong and many different ways to play the gong. The sound each gong makes has a different effect on the body and mind. During a 'Gong Bath' the recipient is literally bathed in the sounds of the gong. It is like a very deep and long lasting massage with sound. A gong bath is usually experienced lying down on the floor. The sound of the gong recharges the mind, body and spirit.The sounds of the gong create a meditative state in which the mind becomes quiet and receptive for healing. The body takes in the sounds that it needs for healing and filters out those sounds that it does not need. After a gongbath the recipient usually feels very calm and relaxed.Physical aches and pains often disappear after a gongbath. The sounds of the gong continue to do their work long after the gongbath has finished. Sound healing with the gong works on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WADxOdsU74 Example : Gong Bath]</span>
* Tuning fork therapy is a gentle form of healing that works on the body and the energy field. The tuning forks that are used are specially designed to create a rich spectrum of harmonics. There are two types of tuning forks: plain and weighted. The plain forks produce vibrations that work on the energy field around the body. These tuning forks allow the healer to create all the musical intervals. Listening to musical intervals has a balancing and healing effect on the body, mind and emotions. The most commonly used musical interval is the fifth. The C and G tuning forks are used to create this interval. This interval balances the Yin and Yang energy in the body. It also balances the two sides of the brain. The C and G tuning forks are part of a set of eight tuning forks that create a wide range of musical intervals that can be used to move energy and balance the chakras. Crystal Tuners are good for space clearing. Angel Tuners are used to connect with the angelic energies. The weighted tuning forks produce physical vibrations that work on many levels. The primary focus is working on muscles, bones and soft tissue. These tuning forks help to release pain and tension held in the joints and muscles. The weighted tuning forks can also be used on acupressure, reflexology and EFT points to great effect. The Om Tuner is wonderful for inducing a sate of deep relaxation and meditation. <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOM1wMM-qVo Example : Tuning Fork Therapy]</span>
* Did you know that simply listening to a single musical note that vibrates at 528 Hz has been shown to repair your DNA? All music that we’re familiar with consists of notes from the 12-Tone Equal Temperament Scale. Each individual note has vibrational limits. However, there is an ancient 6-tone scale of electro-magnetic frequencies called the original Solfeggio Scale. This scale, which was lost for centuries and was just recently rediscovered accidentally by Dr. Joseph Puleo, is said to hold unlimited potential in healing and personal transformation. One of the notes on the Solfeggio Scale, particularly the one that vibrates at 528 Hz has been used by biochemists to repair human DNA. The frequency of 528 Hz appears to influence the water molecules that surround the DNA helix, thereby bringing about healing effects on DNA. Perhaps the leading proponent of the miraculous healing power of the 528 Hz Solfeggio note is Dr. Leonard Horowitz, world famous author of 15 health science books, and Harvard graduated public health expert. According to Dr. Horowitz, all healing occurs from sonic waves or vibrations, specific frequencies of sound, resonating throughout the universe. He claims that human cells use DNA, like radios use antennae, to receive the note vibrations and attune the body’s rhythm to that of the cosmos. He refers to the 528 Hz Solfeggio note as “the frequency of love” which, in addition to providing health benefits, opens the portals to spiritual transformation. This is echoed by Dr. Candice Pert, PhD, who states that energy and vibration go all the way to the molecular level. She further states that we have 70 different receptors on the molecules — and when vibration and frequency reaches that far, they begin to vibrate. This vibration, which happens at the cellular level, opens the chromosomes and exposes the DNA to the frequencies. Experiments involving in vitro DNA exposed to different recordings of musical styles have been performed by Glen Rein of the Quantum Biology Research Lab in New York.Four styles of music for health, including Gregorian chants that use the Solfeggio scale, were converted to scalar audio waves and played via a CD player to test tubes containing in vitro DNA.The effects of the music were determined by measuring the DNA test tube samples’ absorption of UV light after an hour of exposure to the music. The absorption of UV light is regarded as a significant effect on DNA because when the DNA helix unwinds, it allows such absorption.The results of Glen Rein’s experiments showed that the Gregorian chants caused a significant increase in the absorption of UV light versus rock music, which had little or no effect.It was concluded that the audible sound waves of the Solfeggio scale can cause resonance in DNA and can, indeed, have profound healing effects. <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZrBRQn6K0A Example : Solfeggio Harmonics - 528 HZ ]</span>
