1. VIBRATIONS
THE HEALING VOICE The simplest and most cost effective way to work with sound is through your own voice

2. Everything in the Universe moves & vibrates
Universal Law
Everything in the Universe moves & vibrates
Everything is vibrating at one speed or another. Nothing rests.
Everything you see around you is vibrating at one frequency or another and so are you.

3. Sound healing is … The therapeutic application of sound frequencies to
the body/mind of a person
with
the intention of bringing them into a state of harmony and health.

4. Principles of Sound Healing
Entrainment
Our atoms, molecules, cells, glands and organs all have a vibrational frequency.
Sounds from outside our body stimulate sympathetic vibration in the molecules and cells of our body, thus vibrating in harmony with one another
Intention
The sound wave will carry information to the receiver of the sound (loving/aggressive)

5. Principles of Sound Healing
Sympathetic Resonance
The similar vibratory characteristics of two objects (‘like vibration’) will allow them to vibrate at the same frequency, to form a resonant system
Resonance or rapport between healer and patient must exist for healing to occur

6. Principles of Sound Healing
Pure Tone
"Frequency plus Intention equals Healing.“
If we can find a pure sound frequency coupled with a pure intention then healing will occur
When our body receives a pure tone our muscles will relax and tension will be released.

7. Introduction Our throats are the bridge between our mind and body
By opening our throats and voices, we can integrate all levels of our being

8. The Power of Voice does not actually begin in the throat
But rather in the pelvic basin and belly, the center of our creative energy and body wisdom
We can feel the sounds rising up in us from deep in the earth, bursting upward through the pelvis and belly, releasing out the top of our heads

9. The term for vibrations,
Vocal Fold Vibration and Pitch
Figure 11: This chart shows how fast your vocal folds are vibrating (in Hertz) when you're singing certain pitches. Notice that every time you go up an octave, you double the frequency of vibration.
The term for vibrations,
or cycles, per second,
is Hertz.
It's abbreviated Hz,
but we still say "Hertz."

10. The Vocal Folds To see how the vocal folds vibrate,
The faster the vocal folds vibrate, the higher the pitch
Extremely slow vocal fold vibration is about 60 vibrations per second and produces a low pitch.
To see how the vocal folds vibrate,
Hold two pieces of paper so close together that they almost touch,
Blow through them.
They don't blow apart -- they vibrate together.

11. The Human Voice Carries Its Own Spiritual Resonance
This added element cannot be found in any other instrument
This difference, is what makes the voice the most powerful healing instrument particularly when the person needing the healing produced the sounds with his or her own voice

12. The Human Voice An Experiment
When the person sang an F to their own blood cells,
the cells resonated perfectly with the voice,
producing a balanced, round shape and vibrant colours of magenta and turquoise.

Blood cells responding to the sound of a person's voice

13. The Human Voice
Evidence that this F is the fundamental sound of the singer
Fundamental sound can be very helpful for the physical body through its harmonizing and regenerating effect at the cellular level.

14. Mantra = man (mind) + tra (to go beyond) http://my. opera
Specific parts of the body are
when a Sanskrit letter is uttered.
A mantra needs to be vocally recited but even listening to the mantra with full awareness, has a powerful impact
activated

16. Chanting
Chanting is a profound way to shift your consciousness because the vibration in sound directly effects the nervous system
A profound sense of peace and a deepening of the meditation state is obtained when one merges the mind with the sound

17. Singing… …is a very personalized form of musical expression
It opens up the whole front of our bodies where our deepest feelings are stored
It connects us strongly with our emotions, and helps us to open our hearts and get out of our heads, unifying our body/mind.

18. Singing We resonate from our… Diaphragm chest, heart Lungs Throat
Tongue
Face
…vibrating all levels of our being.

19. entire physical system
Toning
Through toning
we can
vibrate and stimulate
our
entire physical system

20. Toning The purpose of toning is to
restore the vibrational pattern of the body (physical and subtle)
to its perfect electro-magnetic field
so that
our spiritual essence
can manifest more fully
in our physical environment

21. Toning The body often tones itself through natural body sounds
These body sounds occur spontaneously, free from the control of the mind
When it is tired, it yawns
When it is in pain, it moans
When it is joyful, it laughs

22. HEALING VOWEL SOUNDS
