Ask Amberleigh It’s Such a Good Vibration!
Q: In reference to sound healing, can you explain how sounds in certain Hertz can help with healing and why certain frequencies affect certain things (Example: a higher Hertz number for sleeping and lower for energy)? Do you have to use them more than once to see/ feel a difference? A: Great questions! Sound healing is such a fascinating topic to discuss because sound is the most accessible tool for health on the planet, which makes its capabilities endless! Sound has many uses: as an art form in music, as a vibrational cutting tool in engineering, and even as intangible radio and internet signals. But when it comes to healing with sound, it is commonly used in ultrasounds, lithotripsy treatments, and even the more “woo-woo” things like drum circles and crystal bowls. All of these uses are valid, but sound healing has always been a bit esoteric in its understanding because the nature of sound travels beyond the 5 main senses of human perception: you cannot taste, touch, smell, see, or even hear it, beyond the human spectrum of hearing. Therefore, I would like to share more of my knowledge on the subject to give you a deeper insight into the power of sound and its ability to change your body! Before directly answering these questions, giving an overview of sound and its structure, uses, and components that make it a viable healing tool will help to give some context to the answers. First of all, sound healing looks like many things, including rolling down your car windows, turning up the radio, and belting out your favorite song…or getting down to that funky high school marching band at Mardi Gras. It goes beyond singing Gregorian chants or hymns in church or meditating with binaural beats. It even goes beyond audible sound! That is correct. The
power of sound is not in the ability to hear it. Some of the most powerful and effective soundwaves are the ones that you cannot hear. Which brings me to the exciting part. Sound healing also looks like…wait for it…having a cocktail with a friend! This is because sound, from a quantum physics perspective, is a fundamental building block for all of our physical reality, which gives sound the unique power to create physical, chemical, emotional, and all different kinds of changes, especially in your health. Not only does science support this, but ancient religious texts, like the Bible, allude to sound being a structural constituent of our world, when it states, “…and God said, ‘Let there be light.’” This is a clue for how the world is created: through sound and light. Quantum physics has only recently been able to support this by studying the subatomic realm of our world, looking at protons, neutrons, electrons, and photons. The orbital movement of these subatomic particles around the atom creates a vibration, and wherever there is vibration, there is sound (whether it is audible or not). Dogs, for example, can hear much beyond the human spectrum of hearing, so just because our ears cannot pick up the sound, does not mean that the sound does not exist.
