Sound is the oldest form of healing and of that, it is the sound of the mother’s voice that is the most important. Sony conducted research in the 80’s that showed sounds played to babies while in the womb influenced their behaviour. It has been proven that like animals human babies can detect their mother’s voice from other females and there is evidence that they can do this in the womb too. Other research has shown that babies can remember and recognise sounds from the womb a year after birth.
The Colour of Music
Each colour has a corresponding musical keynote that in turn resonates with the respective chakra and as follows.
Colour / Keynote / Chakra
Red = C = Base.
Orange = D = Sacral.
Yellow = E = Solar-Plexus.
Green = F = Hear .
Blue = G = Throat.
Indigo = A = Brow.
Violet = B = Crown.
Resonance
Forced resonance or vibration is simply caused by one vibrating object forcing another in close proximity to vibrate though sheer power even though it may have a different natural frequency. This can have a detrimental effect upon us things like loud poor quality music which makes me cringe is guaranteed to make me feel aggressive and flee the area or demand it be turned down. Similar oppressive vibrations from people forcing issues can have the same effect with the same result. That is why noise pollution can lead to physical violence.
Sympathetic resonance is the projection of sound vibrations that cause another object to vibrate as it has the same frequency, singers breaking glasses in one example, as is metal vibrating to heavy bass sounds. We can experience a sympathetic resonance in our bodies in areas that have a similar vibrational frequency. Playing music of the corresponding colour can have the same effect as the colour itself as it resonates with the respective chakra frequency.
For example, I was playing Michael Bolton’s Drift Away holding the record sleeve and noticed it vibrated soon after the he started singing. I found the same thing happened with glossy paper so I analysed the keynote that was F#3 as there are I believe 6 sharps and 3 is obviously the middle one. I analysed Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Emily Wherever I May Find Her’ and the same thing happened the glossy paper vibrated, I analysed it and it was F#4 almost identical. On both occasions, I could feel the music as being relaxing and a slight feeling in the chest as green relates to the heart chakra, I was not sure if holding the paper increased the feeling I had. The paper obviously vibrated more strongly the closer I held it to the speaker and may be a sort of litmus test for the keynote of F#.F# covers much of Simon and Garfunkel which I enjoy but I cannot say is my favourite it very much depends on my mood. I sometimes like rock most of which is C or C#, which gives me a lift. To help me settle down to study I have found strings helpful especially air on a G string in the keynote of D which is orange and a feel good colour Sometimes the clue to any ailment can come from the opposite star sign that have very similar keynotes. Therefore, as a Gemini I am F #, a Sagittarius is natural F, and the forces of these two opposites can sometimes mingle in the body.
Your Natural Sound Frequency
We all have a natural sound frequency; the simplest way of finding it is by looking at the keynote of your star sign.
Star Sign / Keynote
Aries = D-flat major.
Taurus = E-flat major.
Gemini = F-sharp major.
Cancer = G-sharp major.
Leo = A-sharp major.
Virgo = C-major.
Libra = D-major.
Scorpio = E-major.
Sagittarius = F-major.
Capricorn = G-major.
Aquarius = A-major.
Pisces = B-major.
When under pressure our physical body pull on the subtle bodies leaving them weakened and vulnerable to attack. We no longer have the energy to tolerate normal pressures or disturbances to our system, so be become more aware and less tolerant of the things that we find stressful or hurtful. Noise also causes interference and distortion with our ability to communicate effectively, hence mixed messages and misunderstandings arise that can cause conflict.
While this is not ‘music therapy’ per see studies published in medical and musical journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Lancet and the Journal of Music Therapy are finding that music can; reduce blood pressure, improve immune function, and decrease the length of hospital stays for both children and adults.
Rhythm.
Rhythm is what gets or primal energies and instincts going, it stimulates the heart and flow of blood that may account for the expression rhythm of life. Ancient peoples have not only used the drum and dance to wind themselves up before battle but also as a form of healing to stimulate the base chakra which is coloured red.
Using rhythm for healing can be a group activity as there are what is know as drum circles which is simply a group of people making rhythmic music. Drum circles are becoming a popular form of complimentary healing in America and scientific research has proven that participating in drum circles increases the number of “killer cells” in the body. These cells are those responsible for seeking out and destroying specific disease organisms including AIDS.
The Healing Value Of Melody
Melodies can soothe emotional and mental distress for when the normal vibrational activity of certain body parts is disrupted disharmony or disease sets in. Research suggests music seems to override the disharmony in the brain that causes depression and other forms of emotional disorders and puts it back to where it should be. It helps discharge negative feelings, facilitates communication and increases socialisation with other people. This results in greater personal expression with resulting boost in self-esteem
The medical benefits include use for the pain relief of cancer patients and behaviour problems associated with Alzheimer’s disease, a reduction in blood pressure, improved immune system functioning and faster healing resulting in a shorter stay in hospital. Melody is helpful for doing repetitive bodily functions where timing is important.
Musical Notes That Are Good For Emotional Healing.
Whereas C# is the keynote of the earths orbit around the sun, F# is the keynote of the spin of the earth and relates to what makes us humans the dominant species; the power of the mind and the attainment of intelligence, however with this ability comes problems from emotional disturbance to mental illness. The keynote F# relates to the air signs Gemini and Sagittarius that are F# and F respectively and sometimes these opposites are intermingled.
With analysing keynotes, this can change from F to F# according to how the music is analysed so for this purpose I suggest that there can be some allowable variation in keynotes to have the same effect. Therefore, a keynote on this scale should be aimed for as being best for any sort of emotional imbalance and healing.
The other thing I have noticed while playing around with traditional Japanese music for a website, is that stereo enhancement and adding a slight echo to string music has a very pleasant emotional effect. Perhaps it is because it causes addition sympathetic resonance of the keynote but it does work better for me than the original music, although on poor quality speakers it can sound a bit tinny. Tempo is another consideration and something not to fast otherwise we miss the detail in the music and that brings me to make the point as a bit of an audiophile that good audio reproduction is an essential part of the healing process.
Instruments for the reproduction of F keynotes are stringed instruments such as guitars, violins, harps, piano, and the organ. The types of music are the folk rock of Simon and Garfunkel’s, rhythmic folk music, Irish folk songs, Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, Strauss’s waltzes, Brahms Hungarian Dances or any stringed classical music in the key of F to F#.

Liliana Dercy? asked:
Bach Flowers are remarkable energetic remedies, very safe to use and yet very powerfull and effective to heal both body and mind problems. They do not belong to standard traditional medicine, they do not contain any biochemical substance but transport physical substance.
It is an emotionally based approach highly effective and helpful for many conditions: anxiety, fears, depression, confusion. Mental blocks such as prejudices, sexual problems, limiting beliefs, dithering, cravings, allergies, insomnia can be addressed and surpassed. Due to body-mind correlations, these natural remedies can bring about full recovery on chronic problems in every area: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, gynecological, metabolic, muscle tonification, etc. Often the first signs of energy imbalance are the little discomforts, which we learn to ignore, such as poor concentration, low performance, general fatigue, restless nights, pessimism, depression, bad moods. Because emotional disharmony leads to physical disorders, Bach Flowers will always prove empowering and highly effective healing resources: they help us become somebody emotionally determined and mentally committed with our progress. And we make progress. If you are perceiving any emotional imbalance or mental block of any intensity that is impeding you from attaining radiant health or from reaching your personal or professional goals, this is an excellent reason to start: you may want to prove the benefits of these magnificent energetic impulses on yourself. Just try their effects on your issues. NO faith needed. In most cases, few drops of these mild non chemical type of product during a short term prove so effective and supportive that in no time they will become your most reliable source for maintaining radiant health and high levels of wellness. Many people came to Flower therapy with remarkable skepticism and quickly found themselves a convert. This is because, in order for them to be effective, Bach Flowers only require that you are honest, reflexive and open.
Bach Flowers are well-known as ?remedies for the soul? because they heal and cure by helping the individual surpass, transform or eliminate those emotions, attitudes or patterns of behavior which interfere in the development of his full potential. As an energetic therapy, Bach Flower therapy understands the human being as a microcosm substantially related to the macrocosm of Nature. The archetypes which are found in the human psyche have their healing correlation to plant archetypes which are living in Nature. With high vibration energetic impulses, Bach flower essences bring the suffering individual back to emotional balance and joy by concentrating and working on his unique sensitivities and resources for coping with daily life stresses and imbalances. Bach Flowers are wellknown for their universality of application. Physicians, nurses, dentists, optometrists, vets, chiropractors, acupuncturists, herbalists, massage practitioners, physical therapists, nutritionists, psychologists, teachers, psycho-spiritual coaches, religious counselors, etc., rely on Bach Flower remedies as a means to enhance their practices. Because they operate within the areas of emotions and because whichever the illness, the complete cure comes out as a result of emotional balance, Bach Flowers and traditional medicine make a perfect match. They will always ?potentiate? traditional medicine by turning the patient into somebody truly patient and optimistic. They will engender feelings of determination and increasing faith. The person is inspired by renewed ideas and hopes regarding his own cure, additional impulse towards his positive disposition is usually installed and highly welcomed in most cases since it is so necessary for recovery purposes. The patient becomes somebody committed to his own progress.
That you accept the logic of energy having an impact on your body, mind or emotions is no pre-requisite for the essences to be of help. Bach Flowers vibrational influence may be felt quite strongly sometimes, but its beneficial effects are always rewarding and long lasting. For these reasons, Bach Flowers have been gaining increased attention all over the world.
About Side-Effects
Perhaps an interesting point is that these remedies can be self-prescribed. Everywhere people are getting great results in dealing with a variety of illnesses and diseases using Bach Flowers by themselves. Allergies, jet lag, muscle spasms, menstrual irregularities, sexual disorders, low back pain, and various lesser ailments like colds, flu, headaches, vomits, or stomach distress, etc. They are mainly used in cases of anxiety, frustration and distress caused by weddings, handfastings, funerals, memorials, seminars, exams, etc. Whichever the problem may be, a fast growing number of people try the method without thinking it twice and they would normally get good results. If they don?t perceive any change, there will never be side effects. Unlike traditional medicine, there are no side effects associated with Bach Flower Therapy. They are said to work by resonance. This means that a wrong essence will not stimulate a ?soul chord? and substantial changes will not be achieved. While the correct essences will help the person elicit significant body-mind responses, in case someone takes an inappropriate essence, he will experiment little effect, no effect, or confusion. Flower essencies are among the safest, most self-regulating health remedies available. Once one has witnessed its outstandings effects on oneself, Flower Therapy soon becomes the preferred alternative. However, while they are harmless, and although they can even be prepared at home because they represent a most simple kind of medicine, they should never be taken lightly. Any wise Bach Flower approach will always look at the overall medical state taking into consideraton other areas of importance such as social life, lifestyle, diet and nourishing, exercise, work, relationships, spiritual practices, inner world, the world of desires and limitations, ambitions and fears in order to successfully operate upon them. Ideally, Bach Flower treatments should be reinforced by techniques focusing on the correction of underlying imbalances and building the strengths within each person for healing and pulling through. When there is better balance, every symptom will diminish and eventually disappear. Where there is happiness there is health. Where there is good-quality stress, there is high-quality life.
Bach Flowers are ?potentized remedies?; this is because they are vehicles, some kind of agents, of a rich, potent, clarifying kind of energy. People receiving Bach Flower treatment report more vitality, gain better perspective and better performance, effectively concentrate, sleep better, have a more joyful sexual life. However, apart from its healing approach, other uses to Bach Flowers are found effective too. Generally speaking, where there is happiness, there is little room for illness but this does not mean that Bach Flowers will not be usefull if you are in good health. While they are normally used to cure emotional conflicts, actually it is not necessary to have a specific symptom or medical diagnosis in order to fully benefit from Bach Flowers.
There is enough evidence about Bach Flowers being highly effective resources for self development and improvement. Many people report to take Bach Flowers ?every now and then?. They have experienced the benefits of taking them not so much as remedies but as true ?generators of capabilities? –which they are. Mastering the techniques, Bach Flowers?effects usually go beyond expectations. The reason is simple: Once the body is cured, the mind becomes more and more receptive; less overloaded, more clear and more brillant. Capabilities are more easily re-born and ready to develop as a result of any emotional cure with Bach Flowers. For this reason it is important to learn how to use these extraordinary remedies and wisely take full advantage of their properties. They are powerful energetic impacts—shots of good positive vibration— they should never be limitted to their healing benefits. At Aflorarte.com people are encouraged to implement specific techniques which prove useful as a means to enhance their life experience.
As “capabilities generators”, Bach Flowers are especially effective on a healthy and strong individual. This is when they can meet their mental blocks without delay. Used in combination with the essences, such techniques provide additional positive impulse to their minds, to their overall attitude in life. Even when feeling good, almost everybody welcomes more clarity, physical strengh, peace of mind, a balanced lifestyle. Within a healthy organism, these states are more easily installed and reinforced by Bach Flowers
Used with understanding, Bach Flowers easily become magnetic resources because they have great attractive power. They help us get in sinchronicity with issues, people and places that resonate with our values and tendencies; with our goals and towards our happiness. It is not by coincidence that a person taking Bach Flowers becomes more assertive instead of aggressive or cynical. Develops high self-esteem instead of narcissism. The popular saying: ?try Bach Flowers and wait for strange things to happen? is true and is based upon facts. Only those things are not at all ?strange? things. They are synchronic manifestations. By stimulating greater awareness of the inner life, the essences build solid bonds not only between body and soul but between souls attracting situations, people, places, ideas, topics and issues that are in resonance with ours, with our natural tendencies helping us make good progress in every arena of our life. As a general rule, when you take Bach Flowers for its attractive powers, you will expect to feel ?better in yourself? as you establish better relationships, develop capabilities, discover your hidden artistic side. You will probably get closer to your real purposes and intentions in your actions and sufferings. You will always discover your true natural tendencies in the peace of your mind.
Bach Flowers seem to derive their beneficial powers from the inherent life forces within substances. What this means is that there?s a specific quality, a life force, (Edward Bach called this ?a virtue?) vibrating inside the essences. This ?virtue? is nothing but pure positive energy that will expand more smoothly and vibrate more energetically in a healthy body and in a healthy mind. This explains the fact that children, plants, animals as well as healthy grown-ups are more sensitive to Bach Flower influence and make progress much more quickly than others. Bach Flower energetic impulses will help you keep strong determined and optimistic, with your self-esteem high enough to help you
meet your dreams.
Their attracting power is causing growing interest especially amongst those who feel really committed to their success, to their recovery and are ready to take wise action. Today many people recognize that the combination of Bach Flowers and The Laws of Attraction is unbeatable. Because the Laws of Attraction also involve our feelings, our vibration, and our focus, Bach Flowers can be used efficiently for attracting purposes, for generating abundance, wealth, health and any other human pursuits. Bach Flowers attracting powers together with your mind and emotions aligned make a combination that works wonders. If your plans are not clear yet, unwelcomed surprises will certainly be avoided with a wise, protective-covering use of Bach Flower essences.
There are plenty of good reasons to take Bach Flowers and start implementing new techniques towards higher levels of wellbeing and efficiency. Nobody has ever rejected any of those magnificent coincidences brought about by these positive vibrations. Any individual on his own way towards happiness and self-realization will welcome those magnificent impulses that will help him meet the right person, be at the right place, get that brillant idea. Whenever they are taken seriously, nice and strange things deffinitely happen with Bach Flowers. To learn how to attract them can be one of the most rewarding kind of trainings.

Nymph Kellerman asked:
“We trust that the magic of sound, scientifically applied, will contribute in ever greater measure to the relief of human suffering, to a higher development and a richer integration of the human personality, to the harmonious synthesis of all human “notes” of all “group chords and melodies” - until there will be the greater symphony of the One Humanity.”

Music can be employed as assistance in obtaining physical, emotional and spiritual health. During the first half of the nineties, I investigated the therapeutic consequences of distinct types of music on patients under adequate anaesthesia. This investigation was done in Johannesburg at the Garden City Clinic, over a period of four years (1991-1995), with statistics done at the Witwatersrand university, by dr. Jackie Galpin.
Data available on investigations done to test the therapeutic benefits of music, would fill a library of its own. That was not what was done. The effect of music with a known therapeutic value, was investigated on patients under adequate anaesthesia - testing for reduction in pain levels and a shorter recovery period. It is an accepted dictum in psychology that people in a deep sleep, coma or under anaesthesia can hear (not remember). That the auditory pathways up to the auditory cortex actually remain open and untouched by anaesthesia. That you can talk to people in a coma or undergoing surgery, and that the body would respond to whatever was said. In many hospitals, positive suggestions are given to patients in a coma and on the operating table. The capital aim of the project was to test music to serve as a credible alternative for the positive verbal suggestions.
Music has powerful effects on people, whether they are educated in music or not. Wertheim (1961) states that “muscle perception and performance is an inborn capacity of the human brain. This ability is common among human beings and is independent of education or culture…..” This makes the application of music as a therapy, or music as an aid to any other therapy, very simple.
Science, Medicine and Anthropology have completed many years of investigation on the effect of music on the physical body. As early as 1830, articles were published by J. Dogiel, which outlined experiments done to affirm music’s dynamic effect on the body. Absolute physiological reactions were established, and amongst other things, it was proved that music act on the circulation of blood, and can cause blood pressure to rise and fall. According to this, these alternations of pressure rely mainly on the influence which auditory stimulation has on the medulla oblongata and the auditory nerve.
During the first half of the previous century, many investigators throughout Europe agreed that music increases metabolism in a very adequate way, and that it changes muscular energy and enhances respiration.
The positive effects of music on physical and psychological health are truly widespread. In an article on music as cause of disease and healing agent, Assagioli (1965) states that “through its influence upon the subconscious, music can have a still more definite and specific healing effect of a psychoanalytic character. If of an appropriate kind, it can help in eliminating repression and resistance and bring into the field of waking consciousness many drives, emotions and complexes which were creating difficulties in the subconscious”.
It is known that certain kinds of music have the ability to reduce pain, whether it is physical or emotional. Scarantino (1987) states that “Pythagoras of Samos taught his students that certain musical sequences, chords and melodies produced definite responses in the human organism, and could change behaviour patterns that accelerated healing processes”
In a further discussion Scarantino states “In the 1970’s, Bulgarian researchers, under the direction of Dr. Georgi Lazanov, discovered a holistic approach to learning, that allows the body and mind to work in harmony through the linking of music and verbal suggestions…. While listening to largo movements from works of Baroque era composers, with tempos slower than the average heartbeat (sixty beats per minute or slower), the vital signs of test subjects slows down in rhythm with the music, relaxing them physically but leaving their minds alert for the assimilation of information. When the various educational data was presented to the students while the music played in the background, the students experienced significant increases in awareness and retention of information and a whole repertoire of health benefits, including relief from pain and headaches…..”
Relief of physical pain and stress was also observed during the investigation at the Garden City Clinic, Johannesburg. A double blind experiment was performed to investigate the effect of four different genres of music on the pain, discomfort and recovery levels of patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomies and laparotomies, and it was found that patients who received music had lower pain- and stress levels, specifically with the use of Mozart’s piano concertos.
Baroque Music (1600-1750) - Music of this period is characterized by neatness and precision. Composers were highly influenced by the strict rules of Pythagorean principles and harmony. Their philosophy was that music is the bridge that links all things in the universe.
Well known composers from this era are: Bach, H?ndel, Vivaldi, Teleman and Corelli.
Classical Music (1750-1825) - During the 18th century a movement called “The Age of Reason” began amongst philosophers such as Voltaire, Locke and Jefferson, who believed that the world could be controlled through reason and science. During this period it was believed that there had to be a reason for everything, and an all-over simplicity was sought that was not known in earlier centuries. The Classical period in music tends to be associated with this movement, and composers perfected the forms of classical music such as the sonata, symphony and concerto. Music from this period tends to be “easier listening” for the musically unsophisticated.
Well known composers from this era are: Mozart and Haydn.
Romantic Music (1825-1900) - Composers from this era wanted to overwhelm their listeners and wanted to “melt their hearts”. The main focus was on the melody and the romantic themes tended to be lyrical.
Well known composers from this era are: Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky.
COMBINING MUSIC AND DEEP BREATHING
Relax by breathing deeply while you sit in an upright position with closed eyes. Listen to the music of any of the above-mentioned composers, especially the slow movements of concertos from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras. Remain in this meditative-position for as long as desired.
The combination of breath- and music therapy provides a powerful tool in establishing the physical and emotional health of the individual.
