MIND OVER MATTER TECHNIQUES



 by Mindset



It’s a cold, damp and ultimately gloomy Monday Morning. Having woken, dressed, fed and wrestled your children into your car, you find yourself brought to a sudden halt in the gridlocked, rush hour traffic. You hardly see the cars surrounding you as your mind races over all the scheduled meetings, projects and deadlines your faced with in the coming day. Already the stress is building at a steady pace and you haven’t even started the workweek yet. Mind Over Matter Techniques? You barely have time to pull on matching shoes!
There’s no denying that modern life moves at a frantic pace, we are taught that multi-tasking is an ability to be prized above all. Speaking on the phone, whilst carrying on a conversation with your superior, at the same time you’re frantically tapping at your keyboard, whilst trying not to focus too much on the IM that’s popped up on your screen calling you to a meeting you’re already late for.
Stress begins in the brain but quickly extends to being a full body phenomenon. When we experience a threat, either real or imagined, our brains trigger a cascade of stress hormones leading to a pounding heart and head, tense muscles and a shortage of breath.
“Stress Begins in the brain but quickly extends to being a full body phenomenon”
It is always better to tackle a problem at its source, which is what we must do when facing down the issue of burgeoning stress. It begins in the brain so it is here we must look to ultimately redesign the way we think and react to everyday pressures. The way we do this is by utilising mind over matter by practicing mindfulness techniques.
Mindfulness is a state of being in which we are fully conscious of where we are in that present moment, what we are doing and what is going on around us. This may sound counter-productive when we’re in the midst of a hectic environment, but by training our brains to be completely focused on what’s currently at hand, we are keeping at bay the stress and anxiety of the tasks and deadlines that are not yet upon us.
These techniques can easily be learnt and expanded upon alone, mindfulness is something to cultivate and practice on a regular basis, so try to find at least 20 minutes a day to rehearse the following methods. Remember, there is no expectation with mindfulness, so if you have less time or miss a day don’t be too hard on yourself. Just commit to doing as best as you can. Here are 3 simple Mind Over Matter Techniques.

Mind Over Matter Techniques – Breathing:

The simple act of drawing air in and out of our lungs is an essential element to being mindful. We are usually so rushed in our day-to-days that we do not breathe properly, limiting oxygen supplies to the brain and effectively enabling the negative parts of the brain to take control.
Take a seat and get comfortable. Notice yourself breathing in and out and focus on that for a moment. Inhale and pause for a second before slowly exhaling all air from your lungs.
Repeat this for at least one minute; inhale, pause, exhale slowly. Imagine you are drawing in positive energy, the pause is allowing you to store this energy in your body and the long exhale is expelling all negative energy from your body.
It’s natural that your mind will try to jump onto different thoughts. Don’t get frustrated by this, instead gently bring your focus onto your breathing.
Do this for at least one minute and you will feel your mind calm and your body relax.

Mind Over Matter Techniques – Observe:

We are usually so busy with what is going on in our lives that we rarely stop to observe what is going on around us. Doing this for a small time everyday can teach us to appreciate life at a slower pace.
Take a moment to sit or stand quietly and observe all that is happening around you. You may be walking through a park on your way home for example. Take a seat and look around you. You may also practice the breathing exercise at the same time though it isn’t essential.
Notice the sounds around you; are leaves being rustled by a gentle breeze? Can you here birds chirping to each other in greeting, Children shouting excitedly as they bring imagination to life?
Now notice the smells; has the grass been cut recently? Are you sitting next to sweet smelling flowers or are houses close by cooking up a storm outside?
“Take a moment to sit or stand quietly and observe all that is happening around you”
Touch next, can you feel the gentle rays of sun heating your skin, or a breeze move your hair? What is the material of your seat? If you’re on the grass can you feel the blades of grass lighting pricking your palms?
Finally, what do you see? This is the real aim of taking the time out. Is there a family smiling and sitting with each other? Perhaps a stranger walking alone that looks deep in concentration, you wonder what’s on their mind and if the hardships of the day have taken their toll as they slowly amble towards home.
Utilising our senses in this way ensures we are experiencing a moment, that we are living in the now. Taking time to question what other people go through in their day-to-day lives can lead to an increase of empathy and understanding.
Don’t be so quick to accept your first judgment, there are a myriad of reasons a person may be doing what they’re doing and it is very rarely the reason you think. Simply be in the moment, in a non judgemental fashion.
 Mind Over Matter Techniques

Mind Over Matter Techniques – Experience A Routine:

Sometimes it feels as if we are operating on autopilot, we jump from one task to another with our minds in a completely different direction. Before we know it, several hours have passed and you question how time could have possibly passed so quickly.
Pick something you do often. Let’s use washing the dishes as an example. Try to keep your focus on everything you are doing during this activity and experience it all.
Feel as you immerse your hands and the sting of water that’s slightly to warm as it connects with your skin. Notice the sounds of the water as it is disturbed, the clashing of cutlery on crockery and the squeaks of the dishes as they come out clean.
This is an exercise similar to observation, what you are doing is making sure that you are fully in the moment.
Time is precious and you don’t want it to slip by without noticing. The above exercises are designed to bring your mind into alignment with your surroundings. By practicing these techniques, it will be easy for you to maintain for longer periods. You will experience joy at a higher level, feel more relaxed and your mind will gravitate to a calm state.
“Time is precious and you don’t want it to slip by without noticing.”
Use these Mind Over Matter Techniques to see how much your life can and will change.

6 REASONS WHY YOU NEED REIKI IN YOUR LIFE

6 REASONS WHY YOU NEED REIKI IN YOUR LIFE







Reiki treatment is aimed at increasing a person’s supply of life force energy, with the overall aim of healing. Reiki has many benefits. It makes you feel more at peace, it reduces stress, promotes relaxation and increases your over all feeling of well being.
Reiki treatment is directed by placing the hands lightly on, or near, the body of the patient. The healing energy flows from the body of the practitioner, through their hands and into the patient. The patient will experience a myriad of feelings, including relaxation, mental clarity, pain relief, decreased anxiety, and a sense of overall well being. Recent studies have shown this is due to the activity of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system increasing significantly.
With that in mind, how does Reiki Treatment Work? Does it really work, and should you consider the practice?
Below are the proven effects of Reiki Treatment and the changes they make in a patients life.

6 Reasons Why You Need Reiki in Your Life


Eases depression and anxiety

 A number of recent studies have demonstrated the overall mood benefits from receiving continual Reiki treatment. The benefits are specific to those who struggle with negative thoughts and feelings. The studies showed that once your mood improves, symptoms of anxiety and depression are alleviated. Not only does your anxiety reduce, you can also see significant improvements in feelings of depression, anger, and confusion. Negative thoughts and feelings change to positive ones and your mind will find it easier to reach for those going forward.

Reduces and promotes relaxation

 One of the main health benefits of Reiki treatment is stress reduction and relaxation. Japanese energy healing therapy is designed to trigger the body’s relaxation response and reduce the stress so abundant in many of our lives. When you think about it, most ailments can be linked with stress, be it work stress, emotional stress, or stress in your personal life.

Alleviating joint and muscle pain

 A study published in the journal of ‘Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine’, compared the effectiveness of improving range of motion through physical therapy and Reiki. The study found that both showed the same effect in improving the range of motion (ROM) of the affected part of the body.
These results suggest that the beneficial effects of Reiki treatment and on ROM may arise from alterations in local joint or muscle structures rather than the pain system itself.  Patients have cited remarkable improvement with on going Reiki.

Improves Metabolism

 Metabolic syndrome is a group of symptoms associated with type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. It affects a substantial and increasing percentage of the world’s population. Physical activity is often recommended to improve metabolic syndrome. However, Reiki has been shown to be equally effective.
‘Many individuals, such as those who are overweight and sedentary and at highest risk for the metabolic syndrome, may be unable or unwilling to participate in conventional types of physical activity such as strength training and gym-based exercises. Mind-body modalities are simple, economical, noninvasive therapies, easy to learn, and can be practiced easily by individuals who may experience potential limitations in mobility,’ according to Joel Anderson and Ann Gill Taylor at Center for the Study of Complementary and Alternative Therapies, University of Virginia School of Nursing, Charlottesville, USA.

Treats symptoms associated with cancers

Reiki treatment or any mind-body therapy cannot cure cancer. They can however, treat associated symptoms of cancer such as depression, pain, and fatigue. In a study published in the journal of Integrative Cancer Therapy, researchers reported that treatment with Reiki for 5 consecutive days, followed by 1-week of no treatment, with a further 2 additional Reiki sessions, in various cancer patients decreased tiredness, pain, and anxiety, and improve quality of life.
Reiki treatment is also reported to ease pain associated migraine, sciatica, and arthritis. It also reduces symptoms of asthma, menopause, and insomnia.

Spiritual Growth & Emotional Clarity

Last but definitively not least, Reiki treatment not only heals you physically, it also heals you emotionally & spiritually. Reiki treatment enhances your ability to love and to empathize as it enables you to form deeper connections with people. Reiki brings about an inner peace and harmony allowing you to progress on the journey of spiritual growth. It ‘cleans’ and clears your emotions enabling you to focus on what truly matters.
Reiki Treatment is fast becoming an accepted presence in hospitals and clinics. This is due to the fact that the healing approach is non-traumatic and easily integrated with conventional therapies. It eases many physical symptoms of patients going through considerable ordeals, increases well being and allows you to improve in all areas of life.

Complementary, Alternative, or Integrative Health: What’s In a Name?



National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)


Complementary, Alternative, or Integrative Health: What’s In a Name?


People in a meditative pose during a class on mats.



We’ve all seen the words “complementary,” “alternative,” and “integrative,” but what do they really mean?
This fact sheet looks into these terms to help you understand them better and gives you a brief picture of NCCIH’s mission and role in this area of research.

Complementary Versus Alternative

Many Americans—more than 30 percent of adults and about 12 percent of children—use health care approaches developed outside of mainstream Western, or conventional, medicine. When describing these approaches, people often use “alternative” and “complementary” interchangeably, but the two terms refer to different concepts:
  • If a non-mainstream practice is used together with conventional medicine, it’s considered “complementary.”
  • If a non-mainstream practice is used in place of conventional medicine, it’s considered “alternative.”
True alternative medicine is uncommon. Most people who use non-mainstream approaches use them along with conventional treatments.

Integrative Medicine

There are many definitions of “integrative” health care, but all involve bringing conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way. The use of integrative approaches to health and wellness has grown within care settings across the United States. Researchers are currently exploring the potential benefits of integrative health in a variety of situations, including pain management for military personnel and veterans, relief of symptoms in cancer patients and survivors, and programs to promote healthy behaviors.

Integrative Approaches and Health-Related Behaviors

So, What Terms Does NCCIH Use?

NCCIH generally uses the term “complementary health approaches” when we discuss practices and products of non-mainstream origin. We use “integrative health” when we talk about incorporating complementary approaches into mainstream health care.

Types of Complementary Health Approaches

Most complementary health approaches fall into one of two subgroups—natural products or mind and body practices.

Natural Products

This group includes a variety of products, such as herbs (also known as botanicals),vitamins and minerals, and probiotics. They are widely marketed, readily available to consumers, and often sold as dietary supplements.
According to the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which included a comprehensive survey on the use of complementary health approaches by Americans, 17.7 percent of American adults had used a dietary supplement other than vitamins and minerals in the past year. These products were the most popular complementary health approach in the survey. (See chart.) The most commonly used natural product was fish oil.
Ten most common complementary health approaches among adults - 2012. Follow the text version link immediately after this image for details.
Researchers have done large, rigorous studies on a few natural products, but the results often showed that the products didn’t work. Research on others is in progress. While there are indications that some may be helpful, more needs to be learned about the effects of these products in the human body and about their safety and potential interactions with medicines and other natural products.

Mind and Body Practices

Mind and body practices include a large and diverse group of procedures or techniques administered or taught by a trained practitioner or teacher. The 2012 NHIS showed that yogachiropractic and osteopathic manipulationmeditation, and massage therapy are among the most popular mind and body practices used by adults. The popularity of yoga has grown dramatically in recent years, with almost twice as many U.S. adults practicing yoga in 2012 as in 2002.
Other mind and body practices include acupuncturerelaxation techniques (such as breathing exercises, guided imagery, and progressive muscle relaxation), tai chiqi gong,healing touchhypnotherapy, and movement therapies (such as Feldenkrais method, Alexander technique, Pilates, Rolfing Structural Integration, and Trager psychophysical integration).
The amount of research on mind and body approaches varies widely depending on the practice. For example, researchers have done many studies on acupuncture, yoga, spinal manipulation, and meditation, but there have been fewer studies on some other practices.

Other Complementary Health Approaches


The two broad areas discussed above—natural products and mind and body practices—capture most complementary health approaches. However, some approaches may not neatly fit into either of these groups—for example, the practices of traditional healers,Ayurvedic medicinetraditional Chinese medicinehomeopathy, and naturopathy.

NCCIH’s Role

NCCIH is the Federal Government’s lead agency for scientific research on complementary and integrative health approaches.

NCCIH’s Mission and Vision

The mission of NCCIH is to define, through rigorous scientific investigation, the usefulness and safety of complementary and integrative health interventions and their roles in improving health and health care.
NCCIH’s vision is that scientific evidence will inform decisionmaking by the public, by health care professionals, and by health policymakers regarding the use and integration of complementary and integrative health approaches.

ADDENDUM:


What is Exercise Therapy?

Exercise Therapy is a regimen or plan of physical activities designed and prescribed for specific therapeutic goals. Its [typical] purpose is to work towards the restoration of normal musculoskeletal function or to reduce pain above and below the site of injury caused by diseases or injuries through neuro reeducation, gait training and therapeutic activities.  It is highly repetitive and intensive in nature, requiring time and dedication on the part of the client to encourage neuroplasticity.  The therapy is provided by professionals with an educational background in exercise science, exercise physiology, or other similar degree.
Others have created names for Exercise Therapy such as Activity Based Therapy, Activity Based Recovery Therapy, Neuro-based Therapy, Restorative Therapy, or a variation of those words.  Some take claim for “inventing” it or being “world leaders”.   Regardless of what it is called, exercise therapy has been a vital and longstanding prescribed therapy for decades and is practiced all over the world, just as Physical Therapy is practiced world wide (a different therapy).  Exercise therapy is based in the principles of exercise science and when adapted to the neurologically impaired client, its focus is on recovery of function above and below the site of injury.
Clients who participate in an exercise therapy program can benefit from increased motor or sensory function, increased independence, reduction of medication, reduction of hospital visits, and increased overall health [including mental, spiritual and general well being]..

Reiki: a complementary therapy for life.

Abstract


Tom was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer and received only palliative radiation and medication. At the time of diagnosis, his symptoms suggested that he had a very limited life expectancy. With the Reiki and his intent, he was able to achieve his goal of long-term stability with freedom from immobilizing pain and swelling. Tom's comfort and quality of life improved dramatically, and he is living well with his cancer. Reiki has been associated with dramatic results for many patients. The importance of the patient's intent during Reiki treatments cannot be overemphasized. Some general trends seen with Reiki include: periods of stabilization in which there is time to enjoy the last days of one's life; a peaceful and calm passing if death is imminent; and relief from pain, anxiety, dyspnea and edema. Reiki is a valuable complement in supporting patients in their end-of-life journey, enhancing the quality of their remaining days.

10 Reasons Why  Therapy Might Not Be Working

By  
~ 5 min read



A few months ago I was called to be an expert witness at the county court. Not my favorite thing to do. What makes it hard is the tendency lawyers have to ask complex questions and expect a “Yes” or “No” answer.
I have learned to slow myself down, detach myself from the process, and be absolutely truthful while remaining as unprovoked as possible. Otherwise it is an exhausting exercise.
One question did get me going, though. It revolved around whether or not a person can change and what causes a person in therapy to improve or not improve.
The conversation below is a dramatic re-enactment of real events…
Lawyer: Under what circumstances does a person in therapy not get well?
Me: Are you assuming the therapist is perfect? Because one reason a person does not improve may be the skills, knowledge and training limitations of the therapist.
Lawyer: Assume the therapist is perfect.
Me: So the lack of improvement is totally the responsibility of the patient?
Note to reader: This is rarely the case. Therapy by definition involves a minimum of two people who are human. In which case perfection is impossible. But we are in a court of law where reality seems always to be in question so…
Lawyer: Yes. Would level of intelligence be a reason?
Me: No. People with very high intelligence can be resistant to treatment, just as less intelligent people can.
Lawyer: Could the presence of a diagnosed mental illness or personality disorder be a reason?
Me: The presence of a mental illness diagnosis or personality disorder alone is not a reason for lack of improvement in therapy.
Lawyer: Then what would be a reason?
Me: There could be many reasons but underlying them is often anxiety. ‘What will happen to me if I change?’ Fear, basically.
[ This point is crucial: As a psychotherapist, counselor, social worker, healer and multi-modal therapist, I favored quick resolution via treatment contract. If we could resolve the presenting issue is on session, we would do that. If something came up later, we would contract to work on that. I had a large therapy/healer toolbox and would use whatever intervention mode that might work, depending on the contract: How do you expect to benefit from therapy/treatment? How will you know and I know that you've gotten what you wanted to achieve? What do you expect from me? Are you ready to do some work on yourself? The contract proceeds based upon responses.
Often the patient/client is not ready to change or give up the comfort or familiarity of their illness or situation/condition. We can work on gradual change or select a comfortable treatment goal.] 
At this point the lawyer switched to a completely different topic. My answers probably weren’t suitable to his argument so he gave up on me. Fine, but these questions kept echoing in my head.
Any therapist worth their salt will admit that they have had patients who seem to stay stuck for session after session. Maybe you have been in therapy and wondered if anything is really getting any better after making a big investment of time and money. What could be the reasons for lack of improvement?
[A good therapist can quickly determine if the client/patient is stuck and not ready and not waste anyone's time or money.]

Questions for Therapists About Lack of Progress in Therapy

Therapists learn about treatment resistance clients in the cradle of graduate school. Hitting a wall in therapy is not a reason to panic. In fact it could be an opportunity to step back and reassess. From the therapist’s point of view:
1. If someone is not showing improvement after a reasonable amount of time we may ask ourselves, are we the right therapist for this patient? Occasionally our patient would be better served with a specialist, sometimes in addition to, or in lieu of our own work. The patient may need supplementary professional help, for example a psychiatrist if medication might help.
2. Have we, with the patient, identified clear goals that give us a way of measuring improvement? Do we need to redefine or recalibrate our goals to be more achievable? We may decide to target specific behaviors, or identify mini-goals as appropriate steps toward the bigger one or stepping back or sideways to step ahead.
3. Are our interventions accessible to the patient? In other words, are we giving our patient tools within their reach? Tools they can use? Sometimes this takes thinking creatively, stepping out of the usual cookie-cutter solution.
4. Is it possible there is something about the patient we don’t like and therefore we are ineffective because we are holding ourselves back? This type of counter-transference can lead to therapist resistance if unchecked. It is an important part of our job to be aware of this and act accordingly.
5. Are we being patient enough? If most resistance to improvement comes from fear, what can we do to address the fear?
In my training, many years ago, I complained to my supervisor that I didn’t understand why a patient kept coming to see me week after week with no visible improvement. Being a great supervisor, she said to me, “Who makes you the judge? Your patient does not wish to fire you. She is getting something out of therapy. Be patient. Listen.”
Months later my patient revealed childhood sexual and physical abuse that she could not reveal until she was good and ready.

Why Patients Don’t Get Better

Usually the goal in therapy is some kind of change. To achieve this goal, both parties need to be truthful. What things may make a person in therapy afraid of revealing the truth and afraid of change?
1. Fear of judgment. If I could have a nickle for every time a patient prefaced a sentence with some variation of, “You will think this is awful…” I’d be on a beach in Maui right now. If you can identify with this, you may have held onto this awful thing for ages so it takes up an extraordinary amount of space in your brain and has probably bored a hole in your self-worth.
The therapist has a different perspective. He/she is trained to be non-judgmental. He/she has probably heard a ton of stuff much worse than whatever it is you think will horrify them. Even so, it is human to want others to think the best of us. It takes a lot of trust to tell the truth to your therapist. It takes faith to believe that the awful thing you are about to reveal will be treated with kindness. Yet to get unstuck that is precisely what is needed.
2. Fear of rejection. Underneath the fear of being judged is fear of rejection; a primal fear. That’s why shunning is such a devastating punishment. You may be wondering, ‘If I get better, will my family who is so used to my problems, still have a place for me? Will they still love me?’
3. Fear of assuming greater responsibility. Sometimes if we stay childlike we are rewarded by people taking care of us. It can be very uncomfortable to give up the sense of protection that staying dependent on others can give. The rewards of being an emotionally healthy well-integrated person are rich and complex, but not always obvious. It takes risk and belief in ourselves to take up the reins of adulthood.
4. Fear of success. What if you get better and you no longer have a reason to see your therapist? Fear that if you change too much your life may become unrecognizable could be a factor in being stuck in therapy. People can get used to failing. It can become their comfort zone. In that case, the lack of discomfort actually feels uncomfortable. Or, said another way, happiness just feels weird.
5. Fear of intimacy. Sharing our truth to another who respects it, “gets” it and reflects it back in kind, is the essence of intimacy. If we get close to people, if we reveal ourselves to another, we become vulnerable and that is scary.
Fundamentally we are talking about fear of pain and like every living being on the planet, we humans are hard-wired to resist pain by either running away from it or fighting it, tooth and nail. Why should therapy be any different?
We therapists need your feedback to work effectively for you. If you like your therapist and still feel stuck, try to get through the fear enough to bring up your feelings of stuck-ness so that you and your therapist can work on it together. You do not have to have the reasons for being stuck figured out. It is enough just to say, “I feel stuck. Could we please look at that?”
It takes a skilled, compassionate therapist and a motivated, brave patient to give the therapy process a chance.
?What are some of the reasons you’ve found therapy seems not to be working? What have you or your therapist done to try and help move yourpsychotherapy forward?

Healing with Frequencies




Healing with Frequencies






To start, let us say, that everything is vibration. From the chair that you may be sitting in to the paper or the mouse you are holding, everything is in a state of vibration. This is not a new idea. Your ancient mystics have known this for many a millennium, but now your scientists are beginning to understand this and agree. It is a wonderful start.


From the electrons spinning around the nucleus of an atom, to the planets spinning around suns in the galaxy, everything is in movement. Everything is in vibration a frequency.


"You are a digital, bioholographic, precipitation, crystallization, miraculous manifestation, of Divine frequency vibrations, forming harmonically in hydro-space."
Dr. Leonard Horowitz, author, investigator and speaker
What is illness? “Emotional issues that are unresolved block the healing vibrations or cause the disease state to return.” R Gordon


Source

Every object has a natural vibratory rate. This is called it's resonance. One of the basis principles of using frequrncie as a transformative and healing modality is to understand the idea that part of the body is in a state of vibration. Every organ, every bone, every tissue, every system--all are in a state of vibration. Now, when we are in a state of health, the body puts out an overall harmonic of health. However, when a frequency that is counter to our health sets itself up in some portion of the body, it creates a disharmony that we call dis-ease.


I learned to listen to my body with an inner concentration like meditation, to get guidance as to when to exercise and when to rest. I learned that healing and cure are active processes in which I myself needed to participate. - Rollo May
or
What is the mechanism for healing? Resonance. “When two systems are oscillating at different frequencies, there is an impelling force called resonance that causes the two to transfer energy from one to another. When two similarly tuned systems vibrate at different frequencies, there is another aspect of this energy transfer called entrainment, which causes them to line up and to vibrate at the same frequency.” (Richard Gordon)

As Bob Beck has said, the only thing keeping the devices and procedures mentioned in these pages from working is if a person doesn't use them. Too many times I have listened to people complain repeatedly about their health problems, declaring they are willing to do almost anything to get relief. Yet these same people somehow never quite manage to actually do anything.


In 1929 George Lakhovsky, a Russian engineer, published a book called, 'The Secret Life' and "waves that heal" which gave birth to an innovative new concept in healing, Radiobiology. In another book titled, 'The Cancer Conspiracy' by Barry Lynes, reviewer Theresa Welsh of The Seeker Books website stated, Lakhovsky maintained all living cells, from people to parasites, produce and radiate oscillations at high frequencies, and they respond to oscillations of different frequencies from outside sources. The world today is bombarded with electro-magnetic impulses from cell phones to microwaves and researchers fear this may be the cause of increased cancer risks. But what happens when outside oscillations concur with the frequency of internal cell oscillations? According to Lakhovsky, and even some modern scholars, the living being grows stronger.

The Law Of Vibration
Just as a pebble creates vibrations that appear as ripples, which travel outward in a body of water, your thoughts create vibrations that travel outward into the Universe, and attract similar vibrations that manifest as circumstances in your life.
Consider oxygen. It is something that we use everyday, and each of us realize how crucial it is to our survival, yet we aren't able to experience it with touch, taste, smell, hearing or feelings. The fact that we can't experience it with these senses certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We know it does. The reason that we are unable to sense it with our physical sensory perception is because it's rate of vibration is outside of our physical ability to do so.
It's interesting that the latest quantum physics theory, born only a decade or so ago, arrives at a similar conclusion. It is called String Theory and it basically suggests that the physical universe is built out of sound vibrations, kind of like everything is the result of some huge cosmic guitar being played somewhere. It's a mind-blowing concept that is held by some of the sharpest minds in the physics community, including Steven Hawking.
Solfeggio Harmonics - 528 HZ - Miracle Frequency
The 528 hz frequency is known as, the "528 Miracle," because it has the remarkable capacity to heal and repair DNA within the body and is the exact frequency that has been used by genetic biochemists.
"528 cycles per second is literally the core creative frequency of nature. It is love," proclaims renowned medical researcher Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz.


Low frequencies, and frequencies that are out of balance, cause illness. By using frequency healing tools, you can help correct those imbalances, even before they create disease. Frequency healing tools are complimentary to each other and modern medicine and have no negative side effects.

Any positive emotion causes a cell to vibrate at a higher frequency and negative vibrations cause the cells to vibrate at lower frequency. The negative emotion is nothing but an incompletely experienced emotion. These emotions when stored in the cells of the body are the diseases

In essence, everything in the world is made up of energy. We are all constantly vibrating masses of microscopic particles that are always in motion. Every object, person and organ has a healthy vibration rate called resonance. If that vibration is out of resonance, disease results. These imbalances can be treated with frquencies...

Dr. Rife made incredible progress in this field that has unfortunately not been picked up on and continued with by our modern medical society. His research eventually documented 52 specific frequencies which could be used to treat many common health maladies, including tuberculosis and cancer. His laboratory work showed that he could safely destroy these bad cells and microbes by simply increasing the intensity of the frequency until they disintegrated from the pressure. He documented successful results in both the laboratory environment and in humans. The human body's cell structure and good bacteria were unaffected by these treatments. That's because those cells resonate at entirely different frequencies and are naturally insulated from potentially harmful radio waves.

Quantum physics proved that all matter, both physical and chemical, is comprised of sub atomic particles with positive and negative electrical charge. Therefore, we are electrical beings and so is our universe and everything in it.

Through this discovery, it was determined that every form of chemical or physical matter has a specific, measurable frequency. This includes everything that makes up who we are: organs, blood, the neuropeptides and neurotransmitters that we experience as emotions or thoughts, amino acids that construct or DNA, hormones that control and regulate or bodies, minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids that feed our metabolism, etc. Electrical energy is our life force.

There appears to be a correlation between a specific frequency and the atomic weight of the elements. For instance, if the note of "C" is low in a person's voice, chances are the element of the zinc is also low in the body. The frequency of the note of "C" at the second octave is 65.40 cycles per second (hertz), and the atomic weight of the element of zinc is 65.37. So by listening to the frequency of the zinc the cells of the body will receive the vibration; and when the person eats foods that contain zinc, the body will resonate with this vibration and absorb the zinc. Not only will the body become more balanced, but the voice will improve; for it will produce all the notes in a more harmonious way

"Measurement of standing waveforms from electrical storms confirmed what he had suspected, that the earth had a resonant frequency and could therefore be used as a wave carrier to transmit signals. He established that lightning storms as they swooped down the Rockies and then rumbled across the plains into Kansas were resonating at a frequency of 7.68-7.82 cycles per second, or “Hertz” (Hz) This natural phenomenon was rediscovered in the 1960s by researcher W.O. Schumann while working for the Navy on ways to broadcast nuclear war orders to submerged submarines."
360Hz = The Balance Frequency (add the numbers! What do you get?) is derived from the Golden Section and is a harmonic that naturally brings sensations of joy and healing. Vibrational Medicine science assert that the Golden section tones as well as Fibonacci sequence music brings balance to health. Even more amazing, NASA astronauts have long proven that the earth creates a tone in space of 360Hz!!
The ancient Chinese knowledge of 172 Hz as the fundament harmonic frequency of nature
172.06 - Resonates with the Platonic year {about 26,000 years} (Note=F) The great tone of nature in China known as the Kung is the musical note F, while in Tibet, the notes A, F, and G are the sounds of power. The Emporer of China kept the peace by travelling once a year with his entourage to each province to tune the notes of the scale. This procedure maintained peace for thousands of years. (Color=purple-violet) (Effects=joyful, cheerful, spiritual effect) [PSI]; The Frequency Of The Platonic Year (Color=red-violet {purple}) (Tempo=80.6 BPM) (Chakra=Sahasrar/Crown chakra) (Effects=cheerfulness, clarity of spirit, cosmic unity on highest levels) (Medicinal=antidepressive) (Other=F is considered the tone of the spirit, and had a lot of significance to the Chinese) * Other sources [PM] disagree about the tone F being associated with the Crown chakra, which is how HC/Planetware connects this frequency to the crown chakra. [PM] considers the crown chakra to be associated with the B note, and not F.
For a photograph of a 65 bell ensemble of ancient Chinese bells using a norm tone (2 millenia before such a concept was instituted in Europe) of 345 Hz (344 Hz would be a harmonic of 172 Hz), see:

Ed Skilling designed a unit to output 728 Hz which is the Rife frequency considered to be the most healing. This frequency is carried on a radio frequency wave to transport it to the body. This works in the same way a radio transmitter carries the signal for a particular radio station so it can be received by a radio in any given area. As with Lakhovsky's work, the cells can then pick up their resonant healthy frequency. The immune system can then gradually strengthen.

Reported Diseases Affected by 727 -728 hz
When an artist expresses visual information which is originated in a certain dimension, whatever passes through to the viewer is not only a picture, but its energetic essence - energetic frequency as well.

The human body is a symphony of sounds. Every chakra, every organ, every bone, every tissue, every cell has its own resonant frequency, its own sound. Together, they create a unified or composite frequency, with its own sound, like the instruments of an orchestra coming together. Ideally, the individual sounds and frequencies comprise a harmonious whole. That is when the body is functioning as it should, in health. However, when an organ is out of time or out of tune with the rest, then the entire body is affected. This disharmony leads to states of disease and disintegration.
What secret is there in music which attracts all those who listen to it? It is the rhythm which is being created. It is the tone of that music which tunes a soul and raises it above depression and despair of everyday life in this world. And if one knew what rhythm was needed for a particular individual in his trouble and despair, what tone was needed, and to what pitch that person's soul should be raised, one would then be able to heal him with music. healing music
University of California at Los Angeles nanotechnologist Jim Gimzewski is pioneering a new science he calls sonocytology, the study of cell sounds. His first experiments began with yeast cells, using a nanotechnology tool called an atomic force microscope to detect sound-generating vibrations and then using a computer to enhance the volume. The yeast cells were heard to produce harmonics, around 1,000 cps. In musical terms, they were "singing" in the range of C-sharp to D above middle C. Killing the yeast cells with alcohol, the pitch rose dramatically as if the cells were screaming. Cellular harmonics were also affected by temperature, speeding them up or slowing them down, genetic mutations were found to make a slightly different sound than normal cells. Dead cells emitted a low rumbling like radio static. Distinguishing between the sound signatures of healthy and diseased cells may be a part of the medicine of the future.

Dissonance and Rhythm
.

Living in a city, unfortunately, means living with noise. The etymology of "noise" derives from the Latin "nausea." We are bombarded by these upsetting, stress-inducing sounds -- road traffic, subways, airplanes, emergency vehicle sirens, garbage trucks, car alarms, construction equipment, cell phones, workplace machinery, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, hair dryers, boom boxes, the din of chatter in crowded restaurants and coffee shops, and on and on. Noise pollution is among the most pervasive pollutants to which we are exposed.
Toxic noise is literally poisoning to our health and well-being. When hair cells in the ear, the sensory organs that allow us to hear, are injured by noise, they cannot be regenerated. The result is hearing damage and, in some cases, permanent hearing loss. Noise-induced hearing loss can be caused by a one-time exposure to loud sound, such as an explosion, or by repeated exposure to sounds at various loudness levels over an extended period of time. Problems related to noise include hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure, peptic ulcers, degradation of the immune system, sleep loss and fatigue, distraction and poor work performance, impairment of learning, increased aggression, depression, withdrawal, and a general reduction in the quality of life and opportunities for tranquility.


Dissonant sounds create disharmony -- rifts between the individual and her environment, as well as within the body's own frequencies. If 10 tuning forks tuned to the same frequency are lined up together and one is struck, they will all begin to reverberate together. This is resonance. However, if you strike a tuning fork of a different frequency and place it near the others, they will all stop. This is dissonance. When you're feeling irritable or "not yourself" and you don't quite know why, pay attention to your environment. Quite often you'll find that nearby is some sound -- machinery, music, voices -- that is creating discord in your own frequency. If the offending sound is not something that can be eliminated, try to create a stronger vibration that has a positive resonance. One on-the-fly solution is humming or the Schumman Resonator. It doesn't need to be loud, but just enough to feel its vibrations in your own body. You will find the resonant frequencies that will make you feel better, and the dissonant sound you can't escape from will cease to bother you.
"Many years ago the Author was enthralled by the sight of a certain genus of flowering plant in a remote mountainous area, being pollinated by bees called by the plants by their emission of a distinct humming sound. After recording the television documentary, I checked the frequency of the fundamental frequency generated by the plants and found it to be 432 Hertz, or cycles per second. This prompted me to place small battery powered sound generators in the flower beds on my farm where I kept bee hives, and to discovering a whole new world of plant and bee intelligence."

Any number of things can easily jostle our Frequencies and cause these frequencies to become out of tune. Whether it be a traumatic experience, a drop in temperature, or even a stressful incident at work. The balance of our system is so fragile. Just the same as how a guitar needs to be tuned from time to time our system is the same way.


Each body has it’s own unique frequency, when the interaction of these frequencies are balanced, you feel peaceful and at perfect harmony with yourself as well as towards other people. When they are off balance, it can have significant negative effects. An unbalanced body, is unable to fulfill it’s energy contribution to the system. This can have negative psychological and physical consequences on an individual. Anger, depression, constipation,lack of concentration, and sexual dysfunctions are just a few examples of symptoms due to unbalanced internal frequencies.

In an article in Radio News Magazine in February 1925, Lakhovsky wrote: "In conclusion I wish to call attention of the reader to the fact that I have obtained very conclusive results not only with a wavelength of two meters, but with longer and shorter wavelengths. The main thing is to produce the greatest number of harmonics possible." [Also see Electricity for Health in the 21st Century.]


Healing Frequencies

When examining Healing Frequencies we can say that every biotic organism, or a biotic object, resonate in a particular frequency. The major aspect of of frequency is the pace of repetition. What repeats itself is the physical resonance of an object. That resonance or vibration that can be measured on a molecular level. Molecules that constitute every physical object are constantly moving in a certain frequency, with relatively permanent repetitive nature. 

A great deal of the frequency measurement is being detected and measured on the electronic level, which is exponentially smaller than the molecular. It is much more accurate to measure frequency (as part of the Healing Frequencies) on an electro magnetic and light spectrum level.

The electromagnetic resonance of any object fluctuate between high and low values at different frequency levels. This fluctuation nature can be absorbed and measured by certain devices and by the senses as sound, light and vibratory response of the touch sense.

The Planet: The cure for cancer was covered up?
The newspaper article provided here was included in a newpaper called The Planet and published February 1986 in the Washington, D.C.. It was delivered to every member of the U.S. House of Representatives and every member of the United States Senate. Not one representative, senator or staff assistant was motiviated sufficiently to investigate further. The newspaper was also provided free to the George Washington University Medical School students and professors. Again, not one was motivated to investigate further

The healing nature of some of the frequency spectrum lies in the ability of a living organism to absorb very precise and particular set or range frequencies that can physically create a healing effect (and thus compose a set of frequencies) on certain organs and organic systems. In many cases the healing effect of frequencies is achieved by the ability of the frequency to create a very accurate affect on specific bacteria & viruses by sending highly matched Healing Frequencies capable of neutralizing their chemical structure.
"Put a cat and a bunch of broken bones in the same room" some veterinary schools joke, "and the bones will heal." Only two years ago scientists discovered that vibrations between 20-140 Hz (at low db) are anabolic for bone growth and will also help to heal fractures, mend torn muscles and ligaments, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. Fauna have found that a cat's purr not only matches this vibration, but its dominant frequencies are 25 and 50 Hz - the optimum frequencies for bone growth and fracture healing. All cats, including larger ones such as pumas, ocelots and lions, have further sets of strong harmonics at the exact hertz (number of cycles per second) that generate muscle strength, increase joint mobility and provide therapeutic pain relief.
Richard Gerber, M.D. states in his book "Vibrational Medicine,":

When viral and chemical environmental stressors are introduced into the human biological system, the place where they will cause the most damage will be partially determined by the weakest link in the physiologic/subtle energy chain.

From an energetic standpoint, the human body, when weakened or shifted from equilibrium, oscillates at a different and less harmonious frequency than when healthy. This abnormal frequency reflects a general state of cellular energetic imbalance within the physical body. When a weakened individual is unable to shift their energetic mode to the needed frequency a certain amount of subtle energetic help may be needed. When supplied with a dose of the needed energetic frequency, it allows the cellular bioenergetic systems to resonate in the proper vibrational mode, thereby throwing off the toxicities of the illness.


Create a Symphony

" We are the instruments, We are the orchestra, We are the music."

Each cell takes part in the symphony of our body. Our role as a conductor is to orchestrate harmony. When a musician (organ or system), produces a sour note, we bring them back into harmony by helping them to retune their instrument, or refocus their attention. We don't cover up their disharmony or remove them from the orchestra. Each musician (or part of the body), is important in its Divine Expression for the creation of the symphony.

Different frequencies, tones, and sounds -- through drumming, chanting, toning, or the use of Rife or Frequencie tools like the MWO-- can induce different states to promote healing for the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. On a molecular level, our bodies are systems of vibrating atomic particles. We are living receivers and transmitters of vibration. We can use frequencies to vibrate matter and promote healing and regeneration of the different body systems. These frequencies also shift etheric patterning to heal the emotional and mental causes of disease.

"Royal Raymond Rife, a researcher in San Diego in the early part of the 20th century, sucessfully eliminated Dis-ease using an electronic device he invented that emitted specific frequencies...


Dr. Hulda Clark, Ph.D., N.D., and author of The Cure For All Cancers, "studied the work of Rife and learned that every living creature has a vibration..." See Dr. Hulda Clark Zappers here

Rife machines and Multiwave oscillators are claimed to complement each other based on the principle that life forms absorb energy. A multiwave Oscillator uses this principle to strengthen cells within the body to resist disease while a Rife machine uses this principle to destroy microorganisms with an overdose of frequency energy.

" ...Every cell has its own frequency. When you offer, through technology, a harmonic opportunity to the cell it can choose that frequency and become established to its ideal resonance and become recharged to its normal energy state...When we apply this technology we are affecting the intelligence of each individual cell. Every cell is a hologram for the entire body. This area of cellular resonance is the fundamental aspect of vibrational technology and has been vastly overlooked."-By Keich Frick
