Resonance is a fundamental principle in physics and biology that refers to the phenomenon of a small periodic stimulus that leads to large amplitude oscillations in a system. It is a phenomenon that occurs when an object is subjected to an external force (or vibration) that matches its own or 'resonant' frequency. When this happens, the object absorbs energy from the external force and starts vibrating with a large amplitude.
This principle is seen in everything from the swinging of a pendulum to the vibrations of a guitar string. For example, a guitar gives its sound only by vibration. When one plucks a string in an acoustic guitar, the sound waves send sound energy into the wooden body of the guitar, making it 'resonate' and amplify the sound. Another example is when a musician strikes the string in an electric guitar. Here, it vibrates, and the electromagnetic device in the guitar changes this oscillation into an electrical signal transmitted to the amplifier. The amplifier sends oscillations onto the speaker. If the speakers' frequency matches the guitar's vibration, it results in a louder sound called 'audio feedback'.
In the context of health and well-being, resonance can be understood as the body's ability to respond to external and internal stimuli that promotes balance and harmony. Each part of our body, from the cellular level to the organ system level, has its own natural frequencies or vibrations. When these frequencies are in harmony, or in resonance with our environment, we experience better health and well-being. However, when these frequencies are disrupted, or become stagnant, it can lead to disease and discomfort.
Sound waves can be used to restore our harmonic balance. This is the basis of vibrational sound healing as described by Dr. Wieder in his book, "Song Of The Spine". He explains how each bone of our spines, for example, has its own tones and frequencies. By applying vibrational frequencies to the vertebrae, a sympathetic vibratory resonance can be generated that activates harmonics which maintain health.
Another example is Dr. Royal Rife who was an American scientist and inventor that made significant contributions to the field of microscopy and he developed a device (the Rife Machine) that he claimed could treat various diseases, including cancer, by emitting specific electromagnetic frequencies.
Sound is not just a sensory experience, but a way to connect with the energy and vibrations all around us. Our ears, for instance, connect us to the vast network of vibrations that underlies the entire universe around us, which are ultimately patterns of sound (sound waves interacting with each other). Consider this: sound vibrations in space and emanating from the distant stars and galaxies, are messages of cosmic intelligence that can draw us into a deeper awareness, if we can open up to their wisdom...
The natural rhythm of the Earth, known as the "Schumann Resonance," has been said to have a frequency of 7.83 Hz. This frequency is said to correspond to the alpha/theta brainwave state in humans, which is associated with relaxation, healing, and cell regeneration. However, modern technology and electromagnetic waves from devices like Wi-Fi, cell phones, and electronics interact and disrupt these natural frequencies, leading to imbalances in our bio-electromagnetic waves (especially in those living in cities). The electromagnetic fields produced by these technologies have been linked to health issues such as cancer, heart disease, and depression, with certain groups being more susceptible to their effects. Scientific experiments have shown that tuning into the Earth's 7.83 Hz frequency can have benefits such as improved learning and memory, rejuvenation, stress reduction, anti-jetlag effects, and grounding. Conversely, removing exposure to this frequency has been associated with negative effects like migraines and emotional distress, highlighting the importance of being in tune with the earth's magnetic frequency.
Sound can stimulate the flow of energy or 'prana' within the body, helping to remove blockages and restore balance. For example, techniques such as overtoning, as described in Wayne Perry's, "The Complete Guide to Healing with the Human Voice", uses the power of the human voice to create specific vibrational frequencies that can stimulate healing and energy movement (eg., humming). As well, specific sound instruments, like singing bowls, and chimes, gongs and drums, when played methodically yet intuitively, and with intention, can also help stimulate the flow of prana (energy) in the body, helping to remove blockages and restore balance. Nature sounds like running water, ocean waves, wind, storms, birds and forest creatures can also play an important role in lulling us into a slower brainwave state. And it is here where we can access and reprogram our subconscious from surviving to thriving. But more on that later.
