Since no protocol can be designed in the absence of the client, and no single therapy works for all people all of the time, the challenge is to find the individual’s inner chord by trial and error, like an optician trying different lenses for optimal sight. In addition, sometimes protocols work for many people with similar problems, like stress, but other times problems can be opaque and intractable. In consideration of this complexity, when faced with a healing challenge the important question is this: how do we determine the “why” of a client’s condition and then decide on a treatment protocol? A client’s disharmonies can be difficult to parse. Recognizing that sound is “hidden” within all of us and operates on many levels, Vibrational Sound Healing protocols initiate energy shifts in clients experiencing physiological, emotional, psycho-spiritual, intergenerational, and cellular disharmonies. An octave evokes a response of calm and balance. The major second, the interval I'm drawn to, promotes growth and contains the potential for movement beyond boundaries and limits. A perfect third is a powerful therapeutic force against pain. For example, a perfect third is thought to be opening, stimulating power and movement, thereby releasing stagnation and blockages. In tuning fork therapy, each interval has its therapeutic qualities and archetypal meanings that link to the long tradition of sound as a form of therapy. Remarkably, listeners of all ages, places, and historical periods tend to produce this same general consonance ordering, suggesting that it has a basis in some fundamental property of audition.”1 “Studies all agree that the musical intervals of the octave, the fifth, and the fourth are the most consonant, followed closely by the major sixth, major third the tritone, minor seventh, major second, major seventh, and minor second are the least consonant. Regardless, we all respond to musical intervals with some predictability. Others say these responses to sound come from the natural world, the sounds of birds, an ocean breaking on a rocky shore, a brisk wind blowing through pine trees. Some say it’s from human voices we heard as a child: think of Brahms’ lullaby and the comforting minor third in which it’s composed or “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” with its perfect fifth. It’s no surprise that sound activates the entire brain, and each individual brain has formed neural patterns that respond positively to certain musical intervals. Interval preferences, measurable with contemporary technologies, may reveal personal inner harmonies which then may provide clues to treating disharmonies and diseases.Īccording to Daniel Leviton, American cognitive psychologist, neuroscientist, and best-selling author, what we know for certain is that music co-evolved with the brain. (see blog entry Musical Intervals, Emotional Response, and Physiological Curiosities). Aspects of our physiology are both analogous to and affected by sound intervals. Music’s deep structure resides in intervals and rhythms, signatures that correlate with emotion and stimulate a wide range of feelings within us. George Leonard, a twentieth-century American writer and educator who wrote extensively about human potential, wrote: ‘Before we make music, music makes us… Music’s deep structure is identical with the deep structure of all things.” We all have emotional and physiological responses to sound, due in part to the profound connections we feel with pattern, structure, and order. While preference is important, it’s only part of the story. From among the twelve sample intervals, which ones do you respond to the most? I like the major second (Sun/Venus and Saturn/Nibiru), which also happens to occur in the Happy Birthday song. ![]() These are a few of the intervals used in Vibrational Sound Healing, and the recordings were made from the high frequency tuning forks used in treatments. ![]()
