“Everything in life is vibration” Albert Einstein
‘Beyond the Gongs’
‘From hearing, acknowledging your own “tune” * to being empathic and “tune” to someone, to a group, to a place that needs you as a space holder/therapist.’
‘Now, if I do anything, it is to tune souls instead of instruments, to harmonise people instead of notes. If there is anything in my philosophy, it is the law of harmony: that one must put oneself in harmony with oneself and with others.’
Hazrat Inayat Khan *
Introduction:
For this article, I wanted to combine some scientific elements merged with ancient mysticisms and revisited ‘spiritual’ practices now used daily in Western society.
I collected data, facts and academic works by renowned scientists whom I follow with insatiable thirst. Thus have a profound understanding of how medical results can shift due to the ‘spiritual’ implication and practice of a patient or a group during a therapeutic session, (Ex: Blood cells analysis during a Gong Bath *, monitoring brain waves from Tibetan monks during different meditations’.*).
We will briefly mention Biology, Neuroplasticity, Epigenetic, the use of specific Hertz to cure diseases, the work of Paul Selig * Regarding ‘wording’ during his channelling, the effect of sound on water to support the understanding of the ‘ripple effect’ of vibrations and frequencies through our physical, emotional and spiritual body *,
Definition of Tuning:
- The way an instrument or a string on an instrument is tuned
- Calibrating something (an instrument or electronic circuit) to a standard frequency.
“Our bodies can be tuned like musical instruments. When they are properly tuned we have a sense of well-being and perfect self-expression.” ‘Human tuning’ John Beaulieu *
“The voice can only duplicate those harmonics that the ear can hear” – (Dr. Alfred Tomatis) *
The discoveries made on the ear and on the use of sound stimulation by Alfred Tomatis, have left an indelible mark in the field of neurosensory stimulation.
1st Chapter
‘Human tuning’ by John Beaulieu, Pythagor, Harmonic
During his research, John Beaulieu spent over 500 hours in an anechoic chamber where he could hear the pitch of his nervous system! Every part of your body, from your blood to your lungs has its own frequency. His pioneering work includes the first use of tuning forks in the United States as a therapeutic modality. His BioSonic tuning forks are designed and based on the mathematical modelling of the human body related to sonic intervals.
The gifted Greek philosopher Pythagoras prescribed music as medicine, asserting that the musical intervals he discovered are clear expressions of sacred geometry. He stated that music is the phenomena of numbers in time, reflecting the structures of nature, and has the power to restore balance in an organism.
Harmonic
Most of the energy of natural sound is in the harmonics, which carry the information or consciousness. Harmonics give a musical instrument its voice or tone. By concentrating on the shape of the mouth and tongue it is possible to emphasise certain harmonics. These sounds directly resonate areas inside the brain of – producing measurable physiological changes and releasing endorphins.
2nd Chapter
‘Our body is crystalline, a carrier of electric frequencies and is vibrational…’
After 10mn of a sound showerfield inducing vibrations in the body. The resonance creates harmony as energies entangle. Bones are piezo-electric (Dr Bruce Lipton*) and organisms are liquid crystals. Sound can create order in a disorganised cell and healing in the body. It stimulates electricity in the body, it reduces inflammation, acidity and cortisol.
Dr Bruce Lipton * Talking about epigenetic mentioned how cells have antennas and perceive the environment in which we evolve.
I do think during 1:1 treatment with Gongs, after the effect of sound affecting the neo cortex and nervous system comes the shift of any ‘programs/paradigm’ locked on a cellular level…
Quoting British physicist Colin McClare, Dr. Bruce Lipton said, “Information can be carried by chemistry, and information can be carried by vibration. The question is whether one is better than the other.” Lipton explains that chemical reactions transfer only about two percent of information — 98 percent dissipates as heat loss. Information transmitted by frequency and vibration (energy) passes nearly 100 percent of the information. Lipton added that chemical signals travel through fluid at a speed of about one foot per second; vibration, resonance and frequency (sound) travel at 186,000 miles per second.
3rd Chapter
‘Treatments with specific Hertz or sounds, sound healing, Gong bath and scientific results’
Can Sound Fight Cancer and ailments?
In 1981, biologist Helene Grimal partnered with composer Fabien Maman to study the
relationship of sound waves to living cells. Maman was also an acupuncturist and had previously discovered that by using tuning forks and colored light on acupuncture points he could achieve equal and even greater results than he could with needles. For 18 months, Grimal and Maman worked with the effects of 30-40 decibel sounds on human cells. Using the nine-note Ionian Scale (C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C), Grimal and Maman observed that when exposed to sound, cancer cells lost structural integrity until they exploded at the 14-minute mark. Far more dramatic was the sound of a human voice — the cells were destroyed at the nine-minute mark. Next, Maman and Grimal worked with two women with breast cancer. For one month, the women devoted three-and-a-half hours a day to “toning,” or singing the scale. One woman’s tumour simply disappeared. The other woman’s tumour had shrunk dramatically and “dried up.” It was removed and the woman had a complete recovery and remission.
Maman said, “Cancer cells cannot maintain their structure when specific sound wave frequencies attack the cytoplasmic and nuclear membranes. When the vibratory rate increases, the cells cannot adapt or stabilise themselves and die by disintegrating and exploding.”
– In the video Ted talk Skid More College* , professor Anthony Holland presents “Shattering cancer with resonant frequencies”, 100.000 Hz and 300.000 Hz cancer cells are vulnerable. (at 13mn23) – ‘Leukaemia cells died…’ – (at 14mn) ‘Cancer cells died…
– In the video ‘Gong Bath – Blood Testing’, Richard Rudis* measures blood cells.
A remarkable physical change that took place in blood samples from the 1 person before & after a Richard Rudis Sacred Sound Gong Bath™ with blood being tested by Sherry Beitzel of ‘Inside Out Therapies’ of Boulder Colorado using a Darkfield Microscope. Sherry observed the Blood terrain opening up enhancing the flow of Oxygen & Nutrients, Red Blood Cells were less congested and the energy potential of the cell increased, the Immune System was incredibly stimulated and White Blood Cells were much more active, larger, brighter & inflammation indicators decreased. Also the amount of damaged Cells from possible parasitical damage decreased from 70% down to around 30%.
4th Chapter
Cymatics, water consciousness, Solfeggio frequency and water
Cymatics
Cymatics is the study of the shape of sound. The pioneering work of Ernst Chladni * (1756 – 1829), showed that sound affects physical matter. He is labelled as the father of acoustics, including research on vibrating plates and the calculation of the speed of sound for different gases.
In the 1960s Dr. Hans Jenny * investigated sound vibration, inventing a machine he called the tonoscope. This allowed him to view the physical image, or “dimension” of various sounds, including human vowels and tones. He was a physician and natural scientist who coined the term cymatics to describe acoustic effects of sound wave phenomena. He experimented with different liquids and solids and continuous vibrating frequencies to test the physics of sound further which mirrored patterns found throughout nature, art and architecture.
- Dr. Masaru Emoto* ‘The Hidden Messages in Water’, Emoto claimed that water was a “blueprint for our reality” and that emotional “energies” and “vibrations” could change its physical structure. His work demonstrated that water is shaped by the environment, thoughts and emotions.
To conclude this paragraph ; the correlation between cymatics, water consciousness and to go further cosmos genesis is fundamental on many points.
Measured by those scientists named in this text, sound waves became visible to the naked eye, through proven and acknowledged experiments. Also we observe the physical matter of an energy or a vibration of ‘consciousness’ which can be channelled through our body and which exists or can appear in water (Ex: sound, voice, thoughts, emotions, words…) It might exist as a ‘blueprint’ or be imprinted as dissonant…
To my understanding, experience and practice as an artist and healer, those researches above are all embedded. I like to recall some recent work ;
- In 2010, John Hutchinson*, an electromagnetic energy expert from Vancouver, B.C., Canada, helped purify poisoned water off the Gulf of Mexico following the BP oil spill. He and his research partner, Nancy Hutchinson (formerly Nancy Lazaryan), used the 528 Hz frequency and other Solfeggio tones to reduce the oil and grease in polluted water.
Their results were certified by Dr. Robert Naman, President of Analytical Chemical Testing Laboratory, Inc. of Mobile, Alabama. Dr. Naman, an analytical chemist with almost 30 years in the field, tested the samples and confirmed the complete removal of oil and grease from the after treatment sample source tested.
Not to mention the world leader in unified physics, Nassim Haramein* who introduces us to a holistic model of the universe that unites all areas of science through a deeper understanding of the foundations of our reality. He has spent over 30 years researching and discovering connections in physics, mathematics, geometry, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology, chemistry, in addition to anthropology and ancient civilizations. ‘His new equation’ predicting the exact critical mass of the universe, tells us something vastly different about our universe, cosmogenesis and ourselves.
And this is how I bring my final words in ‘Conclusion’ below!
“Pure tones will be used for healing before the end of the [20th] century.” Rudolf Steiner
Conclusion:
Sympathetic resonance and entrainment to reset
your body for full health and well being.
‘Words as vibration’ with Paul Selig*
To the nucleus to the universe, in choir they tune!
Sympathetic resonance
If you tap a tuning fork, another fork with the same frequency will be activated and start vibrating. The vibration of one object causes another object to start vibrating. The same principle applies to Gongs and how our cells can entrain and from ‘disease’ restore to ‘ease’.
From disharmony to harmony with harmonic resonance:
The body cells entangle and entrain with sound. After a Gong bath or sound healing more people are in harmony on the atomic level as atoms entangle to each energy and beyond…
Entraining
Brainwave Entrainment refers to the brain’s electrical response to rhythmic sensory stimulation, such as pulses of sound or light.
Entrainment, broadly defined, is a phenomenon in which two or more independent rhythmic processes synchronise with each other.
Neural entrainment is best described within the sound healing community as ‘binaural beats’ denoting the simultaneous introduction of an oscillating frequency to both ears, resulting in a synchronous electrical activity of cortical neurons in the brain.
Nassim Haramein* believes that consciousness has an impact on matter. According to Haramein, consciousness, matter, space, and gravity influence each other within a unified, interactive field. This Unified Field Theory merges Einstein’s relativity theory with today’s most prescient concepts in quantum mechanics.
- In quantum mechanics, the state of a quantum particle is defined by its probability distribution – wavefunction – which is derived by solving Schrodinger’s* equation. That is, all you can ever determine with quantum physics is a probability of possible outcomes.
This is the most important point for me as an energy healer and a therapist using sound, ‘Quantum healing’ has been pointed out by many such as Dr David Hamilton*, Deepek Chopra* amongst others.
Following the complicated understanding of Quantum mechanics, I think ‘tuning to your body is tuning to the universe…’
In this short article the question is how can we establish a relationship, a profound understanding to tune ‘inward’ and ‘outward’ as a conscious being in a wider meaning.
In the larger perspective and with the incredible spectrum of data supported by named above scientists, hopefully it is drawing ‘rhizomatic’* maps to our new ‘era’ still to discover and create!
All the information I provided related to the use of sound ‘in healing’ and what is a sound, a vibration, a frequency, a wave…? Where it comes from, where it is located and how to monitor it? What I am offering here is the tip of the iceberg, a much longer essay will be needed.
I hope that writing brought some keys and understanding of ‘sound healing’ which goes far beyond how it is worldly labelled.
I am fascinated by astrophysics and I listen to hours of programs. Our connection to cosmology and science is ancient with for example taoïsm as Trinh Xuan Thuan mentioned many times. I like to name astrophysicist Trinh Xuan Thuan* on Nonduality and the Consciousness of ‘Things’. “When we look into our cells as a human being we see that the human being is made only of non-human elements…And the electron is also in us. So when I produce a thought, every ancestor in me including the mineral, vegetable and animal ancestors, collaborate with me in order to produce that thought…”
I insist on introducing the profound channelling from ‘The Guides’ through medium Paul Selig*. As a therapist, I do and I did years of personal development and learned a lot on how important are the words we use. What is it we want to create, attract and ‘tune’ to. Discovering Paul Selig’s lectures and channelling works has deepened and confirmed my relationship to the understanding of ‘All is vibration’…In the profound and complex transmissions from ‘The Guides’, they compare ‘words as a musical chord’…
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy,
frequency, and vibration.” Nikola Tesla
In our field of sound healing, hopefully we all have a responsibility and
awareness of our infinite given existential tools ;
ourselves as stardust forever raising higher frequencies!

How does music as sound and vibration impact your body and brain?
Dr Lee Bartel explores how sound can stimulate cells in your body and brain to reduce the impact of Fibromyalgia pain, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Depression, and even increase blood flow. It shows how a common consumer vibroacoustic device is used to treat these health conditions.
