The Power of Sound

By the regular use of a particular sound or sequence of sounds, the body can obtain mental, emotional, and physiological changes. A mantra sung, spoken or hummed regularly will induce a change in the human body. Harmonious music actually assists in rearranging the electronic substance of our body that has been distorted through negative thoughts, words, feelings and actions. It brings our four lower bodies into alignment and at the same time expands the harmony of the entire universe. Playing harmonious music daily will raise the vibrations in our homes, therapy rooms, or any environment.
Sound has been used in many cultures to change and move energies. For example, Mayan balls can clear an aura. When shaken next to a part of the body where energy is blocked, the balls do not sound, but continue to shake the balls and it moves the energy. Chinese balls also can move energy within the body.
Temple bells are used to encourage the focus of energies on spiritual matters. Music can heal, but remember, many illnesses bring a message of spiritual growth. Once that has been accepted and understood. the illness can disappear.
All the various music instruments affect us differently. For example, drums, gongs, tambourines, and triangle, affect the lower chakras and the physical body. In the past, soldiers marched to war behind beating drums. The noise of the drums gave them courage. Stringed instruments, such as violins, cellos, and harps calm the emotions and wind instruments, affect the emotional body. Organ music brings in the Angelic forces. Great music can change habits and release childhood memories. Some of the music today is often in the key of F and can produce a sense of harmony and relaxation. However, inharmonious music, actually shatters the pole of the matrix of electrons and causes negative reactions, both to our bodies and in our environment.
Rock music is known to stir up the lower astral, affects the ear drums, and pituitary gland, and when used together with drugs can make people disoriented and ill--at the same time breaking up the etheric envelope which protects the physical body.
Everything created, from the smallest cell to the solar system, has a keynote of its own. The planets, including our earth has its own sound. We each have our own sound as well, and there are a few people who can tune into this sound, but it carries a great responsibility. The Ancient Egyptians were said to work on an individual s notes to re-harmonize them and create a melody of the physical, emotional and mental bodies.
Beings who are highly evolved speak of the Harmony of the Spheres, an experience they find hard to describe, except that it is of such beauty and wonder. The Master Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov spoke of it in awe. He called it the Music of the Spheres.
When we sing certain sounds with a particular color focused over a chakra center, the energy within and around us changes. The body starts to resonate on a higher vibration, but that depends on your intent and concentration. Over a period of time, noticeable changes will take place. You will have more energy and a heightened intuition, but it must be practiced regularly.
These methods have been handed down through the ages. In Tibet the monks in the past practiced these methods and found them most effective for their spiritual development.

Color Red
Sound LAM
