Geek out with me! 🤓
In the words of Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, we’re running a 21st-century marathon.
We wake up, fight traffic, are inundated with car exhaust and unknown radio frequencies. We go to jobs with bosses who have the emotional capacity of a three-year-old, turn on TVs or stare at phone screens telling us the world is falling apart… and then we try to go to sleep.
We are living in a state of constant stimulation, and it’s no surprise we’re facing an epidemic of insomnia and chronic stress.
Stress is one of the leading causes of disease worldwide. It impacts nearly every system in the body, raising blood pressure, increasing inflammation, creating pain, disrupting function, and contributing to major killers like heart disease, cancer, and stroke. On a cellular level, it causes damage.
So how does this relate to sound?
The body exists and vibrates at multiple frequencies. These frequencies shift depending on our state, whether we are in a parasympathetic (rest and repair) state or a sympathetic (fight or flight) state. This is regulated through the vagus nerve and centers in the brain like the hypothalamus.
In modern society, we are operating far too often in a sympathetic state. We need reprieve from the external stress that keeps us there.
Sound offers that.
Specific frequencies can help induce a parasympathetic state by altering brainwave activity, reducing stress, lowering heart rate, decreasing inflammation, and releasing muscle holding, therefore reducing pain.
This happens through vibration. The body, being largely water, conducts sound. These frequencies move through tissue and are picked up by the inner ear, sending signals through the nervous system. In turn, this can stimulate the vagus nerve and influence regulatory centers in the brain.
On a cellular level, when the body is in a healing state, cells increase their metabolism. Sound has the potential to support that process, enhancing the body’s natural capacity to heal.
Each day we wake up, we are given time.
We either fall into destructive patterns of the collective consciousness, or we awaken to the power of our own consciousness... (see comments)
