Resonance is a fundamental principle in physics and biology that refers to the phenomenon of a small, periodic stimulus leading to large amplitude oscillations in a system. In simpler terms, it's the idea that a small input can create a large, often rhythmic, output. This principle is seen in everything from the swinging of a pendulum to the vibrations of a guitar string.

In the context of health and well-being, resonance can be understood as the body's ability to respond to external and internal stimuli in a way that promotes balance and harmony. Each part of our body, from the cellular level to the organ system level, has its own natural frequency or vibration. When these frequencies are in harmony, we experience health and well-being. However, when these frequencies are disrupted, it can lead to disease and discomfort.

Sound and vibration can be used to restore this balance. This is the basis of vibrational healing, as described by Dr. Wieder in his book, "Song Of The Spine". He explains how each bone of the spine, for example, has its own tone and frequency. By applying specific 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 of the universe. The ears, for instance, connect us to the vast network of vibrations that underlies the universe, which are ultimately patterns of sound. The sound vibrations from space and the distant stars and galaxies are messages of cosmic intelligence that can draw us into a deeper awareness if we open up to their energy.

The natural rhythm of the Earth, known as the "Schumann Resonance," has a frequency of 7.83 Hz. This frequency corresponds 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 have disrupted this natural frequency, leading to imbalances in our bio-electromagnetic waves (especially 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 our Mother Gaia's magnetic frequency.

In terms of moving our energy, sound and resonance can play a crucial role. Sound can stimulate the flow of energy or prana in 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. 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 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 and 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.
