Interesting question: if we could hear the frequencies and
rythms of our body
what would that sound like ?
Scientific research not so long ago by cel-biologist David
Deamer showed the musical patterns of DNA:
Music turns out to be a natural medium for translating the
complex patterns of proteins and genes in composition and sound.
Our bodies make music handing us in many ways the key to our
own lives and quest-ions.
It is due to the limitations of our own ears that we are
aware only of a small part of the frequency spectrum which is our body.
But also more than we realise our facial and body proportions
reflect the universal cycles of ratio and harmony and accentuate our place in
nature.
Hidden harmony
In deep meditation we breath 432 times an hour.
An average heartbeat of 72 bpm results in a heart beat of
4320 times per hour. In music that numerical code stands for the musical
intervals fourth, fifth and octave.
Looking at nature again: trees,flowers, plants, people and
animals show these basic structures repeatedly as if pointig to a hidden
harmony ( the golden section).
Expiriments recently by the swiss researcher Hans Jenny show
how sound vibration forms all sorts of geometric patterns which we find back in
nature and in our cells ( cymatics).
Ernst Chladni in 1787 already showed that graphite powder on
a piece of glass would form geometric patterns when te glass was stringed.
Hans JennyÕs research is similar to the expiriments of Masuru
Emoto who photographed the effect of sound and intention on water resulting in
beautiful water crystals.
In the movie What the bleep do we know the question is asked:
what does this knowledge mean knowing our body - well most of it - consists of
water ?
The interaction taking place in ourselves is a complex miracle
of often mind boggling precision. We are made of cells that can be found
everywhere in the cosmos.
Cells that are intelligent and vibrate energetically.
DarwinÕs theory in that sense never has been complete as his
work lacks the notion of an energy system.
Recent research on cell membranes which can be found in the
book The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, explains a lot of questions we
still have about all this. It also explains why music resonates with specific
frequency aspects of our cells and organs ( herz).
In fact the rythm of our heartbeat, the rythm of our breath
and brainwaves are part of immense cycles in a musical universe and itÕs
evolution.
The chemistry and experience of our senses has itÕs roots in
frequency and frequency is sound.
When we place a second guitar 20 centimeters away from a
guitar player playing a guitar; through resonace the strings of this second
guitar will vibrate.
This process of harmonic resonance is similar to the magnetic
effect of music on our cells.The body is a musical system in an expanded system
- a wheel within a wheel.
The music that we hear not only is an experience of our ears
but a response of all of the dynamic system that we are.
See deep enough and you see musically
the heart of nature beeing everywhere music ( Thomas
Carlyle).
In the living cells as well as the non living parts of
nature the trained eye encounters wide spread evidence of periodic systems.
These systems point to continuous transformation from the one set condition to
the opposite set ( Hans Jenny).
Patterns of experience
The rythmic vibrations of our brains can be changed by means
of sound.Patterns of experience hidden in our layers of consciousness can be
felt this way.
It is the way we work with sound that touches our consciousness
and the hidden life of our cells: intention and attention.
The form of snowflakes and faces of flowers may take on
their shape because they are responding to some sound in nature. Likewise it is
possible that crystals, plants and human beeings may be in some way music that
has taken a visible form ( C EGuzetta).
Our body is a a rich miracle.
The relationsip between sound and the physical world as we
know it is amazing. Music and the power of ourselves is something to be curious
about.
In a micro way string vibrations and vocal cord vibrations
are like the pulsations of the cosmos in which we live.
Our own body consisting of trillions of cells is more complex
than a planet Our organsare different but the coorperation is intelligent and
total.
The calcium in our bones replaces itself within a year.
Our sekelton renews itself every three months.
98 % of our micro organisms was not t-here a year ago and our
skin renews itself monthly.
Our liver renews itself in six weeks time and 90 % of our brain
energy is delivered by our ears.
Only 7 % of our DNA is known so far.
.Throughout the ages people have met eachother to sing
together and play. It is this ongoing refrain of life that can be found in
tribe rituals, chanting, hindu bahjans, classical music, lounge and dance.
It is a visionary call about the power of you and me.
A home for on the road.
I sing so I Am.
Moments in moments.
Sound therefore is like doing rersearch as well.
It is the sound that goes with the melody of our lives that
speaks of who we really are.
