Did you know that many researchers in the fields of science and sound consider the human voice to be the most powerful healing tool in existence? No other instrument carries its multitude of vibrations and frequencies, nor can anything come close to its healing capabilities. - Did you know that, used properly, the human voice can destroy a human cancer cell after 14 minutes?
- A drop of Tokyo tap water exposed to a Tibetan chant changed its appearance, when viewed under an electron microscope, from a blob to a beautiful crystalline snowflake?
- Did you know that in 1967, every monk in residence at a Benedictine monastery in France became very ill when the new Abbot banned the Gregorian chant, thinking their time would be more efficiently used in silence.?A specialist was brought in to find the source of the illness. When finally the monks were allowed to resume their customary 8-hour a day chanting, they all returned to normal within a few months.
So what does all this mean?
Well, when you think about it, it makes perfect sense. We are all walking, talking symphonies of sound. The Universe was created through sound! Every single atom in our bodies vibrates with sound! It would be impossible to totally silence our world. With this in mind, what if we could bring physical and emotional selves and our physical spaces into balance with our voices?
Vocal sound healing has nothing to do with the ability to sing. If you can talk, if you can make a single sustained tone with your voice, you can use your voice in a healing way. Here's an example of what I mean by this. Have you ever been around someone who is in such a good mood that they are humming or singing to themselves? That good feeling kinda rubs off on you, doesn't it? Even if you were in a really bad mood, being around that cheerful individual will begin to shift your own space, without you doing anything or sometimes even realizing it. Clearing your space with sound is the same concept. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, that happy humming individual is fueling their vocal sound with their positive vibes. When you couple the power of your voice with positive intention, you create a third, extremely powerful, nearly unbeatable healing combination.
Following is one of my favorite ninja healing techniques that I teach in my Advanced Sound Healing for Healers workshop. I'm sharing it with you here because there is a lot of stress out in the world right now. People NEED this! This technique only takes a couple of minutes and it REALLY WORKS! I've used it to clear ookey energy on buses and in elevators, to calm angry and impatient individuals in line at grocery stores, and I just started using it at the skilled nursing facility where my father is currently staying to help calm the residents and the staff and uplift the entire energy.
Take a moment, close your eyes and go into your heart space. Connect with your beautiful heart energy and let it surround you and fill you. Take a deep breath and allow it to bathe you in its beautiful energy. Set the intention that your voice will calm and soothe those around you and clear the space of any negativity. Really feel and see it happening in your mind. Then open your eyes and make a soft hum. It can be one note, it can be lullaby-like, it need only be very simple. Keep this up for a few moments, as loud as you are comfortable or the occasion permits, continually reinforcing your good intentions. Pay attention to the energy of the space and the people around you. Watch them visibly relax. Keep this up until the desired effect is attained, then shift your intention that it remain so. This is what is meant when they say "Shift Happens"!
Here's another amazing fact - this same technique can be used on yourself to shatter blockages and trauma, AND it can be used SILENTLY. But that's a topic for another day.......
I hope you will consider joining me here again.
In the meantime, Om Shanti!
