Resonating

Dear Friends, as promised, a brief discussion on resonating.
One of the highlights of the Living Gold conference for me was the singing in the chapel, especially for the Close of Day service. This service, in and of itself, is very beautiful, but even more so when you have over 150 voices singing together in harmony to a timeless piece of classical music. Like experiencing a full orchestra, live, there is something that hangs in the air afterwards. What is it about music that has the power to affect us so deeply? It is not only the chords but also the timing. I like to say that music is the window of the Spirit. This is because of soundwaves, which our bodies are intrinsically wired to respond to. It is one of those things that transcends language, race and culture. (This is also an encouragement for people to consider attending the Ring Cycle being produced in August 2013 by the Seattle Opera Company, according to Wagner's indications, and accompanied by talks by Daniel Hafner. We can get a group rate for all 4 operas - contact Susan Locey for more details.)
Imagine a world where we would be able to utilize the electromagnetic energy of our heart in a positive way, for healing. This is not so far-fetched as it sounds. A machine was first invented in the late 1800's, but was not completely understood and was not successful for mass production, as tuning must be done for each individual person.
Most of us are familiar with tuning forks, which were invented, believe it or not, in the 1700's. Today's quartz clocks and watches use a tiny internal tuning fork for timekeeping. Most of us are also familiar with "ultrasound" as a diagnostic tool in medicine. This is nothing more than electrical current applied across the facets of a quartz crystal, at one million cycles, or Hertz, per second.
The human heartbeat functions normally around 1.2 Hz cycles per second. I love the fact that the name given to this measurement is Hertz. Of course, it is named after the scientist who was able to demonstrate this, but this word is also very close to the German word, herz, or heart.
Soundwaves are also used in newer medical techniques such as lithotripsy, and alternative medicine such as sonopuncture and polarity therapy. Most of us are also familiar with the use of crystals for therapeutic healing. This is the direction we are moving in. What we can do now with the use of machines and externally created electrical current, we may soon be able to do simply by using the positive, loving energy from our own bodies. However, where there is a positive, there is also a negative, and we will have to be careful to use this energy only for healing, and not for destructive, purposes.

Stay tuned!
