Sorry for the delay in response everyone! My computer imploded yet again last night rendering it useless. Second time this week. I just pray it makes it through and survives the Mercury Retrograde!!! I kept a large chunk of black tourmaline on it all night and hopefully it will stay revived at least long enough to post something here. Thanks, Hemera, for splitting off the thread and sorry to everyone for any trouble, confusion...when I first posted I didn't know there would be such amazing interest/response to the sound healing/vibration issue! Thanks also, Hemera, for that wonderful information about the Music of the Spheres! Yes, it is real and has been known from the time before time, I think humans have just forgotten how interdependent we are on a cosmological basis.
oh, and I did find this link to
"space albums"...I haven't listened to any of it so this isn't a "plug" but some may find it worth exploring. (if you look to the left of the screen under the album pic, most of them have a small sound sampling). Incidentally, this is pretty much what group toning sounds like and anyone who may be interested in that I would suggest you google for "Pineal Toning" groups in your local area, check your local meetups, or contact your local metaphysical stores for information they might have on groups meeting in your area.
great advice, Frac_ture! I still ended up with C, both ways
so I guess I really am a root chakra gal. Thanks SO much for your input - I am sure it will be invaluable to all who try this.
It certainly explained your love of amethyst, and mine of garnets!
What did the others come up with...?
Yes, you! I wants to know! lol! This is SUCH a great exercise in getting to know yourself, your chakra and your stones...why they appeal - or repel.
I still have a question, though (WildChilde, feel free! You started this! Lol!) so if I resonate to the root chakra, then...that means I am that type of person? Is it because my other chakras need more attention, or is it ok to live happily and comfortably here in the roots? lol!
Frac_ture, that online keyboard is totally
awesome!!! I am so glad you posted it!! Along with what you suggested about humming (and actually, the sound healers I mentioned also suggest that to find the right vibration we need to hum), I would also mention that some people might also respond better to that online resource by switching it to the flute (or possibly the pan flute although I personally preferred the flute setting). The reason being basically the same principal...the flute is a breath instrument and can help (even as a synthesized version) to find that internal vibration of the "hmmmmm" at any key.
Hehe, sweet Lotus! you crack me up. you are soooo into this! I would also suggest to anyone interested in vocal toning/sound healing please purchase or download Jonathan Goldman's
Vocal Toning the Chakras (this is just one source where you can find it for sale)...he describes in great detail (much better than I can) what vocal toning is, how to do it, and what use it has for ourselves and the harmonics of our planet. Also, if you begin to read and hear his work, you will learn more than you ever wanted to know about all the stuff we are discussing here like the vibration of stars/the earth/the universe and healing.
With that little "plug" out of the way
Yes, I too am a "B" (eee)...this is my crystalline tone and I swear I sound like a dolphin (or what I imagine dolphins sound like when they speak) during group toning. LOL eeee...eeeee....eeeeee...eeeeee...eee...eeee ROFL! Sometimes the lower tones are very difficult for me to do or to even hear (just like Lotus with difficultly in the higher registers), generally I prefer anything above the key of E (solar plexus). There have been a few times that a man has been in group doing the low register though and it sort of "recalibrated" me to be more open to those sounds. I think this is what you call "harmonics at work". This might be another good reason to obtain a CD of vocal toning because if you are having trouble with certain sounds hearing others do it in the healing mentality might help "recalibrate" you in the same sense. This doesn't mean you are going to change from your natural comfort zone, but it may help with any tones that are "grating" or jarring to your system. Just like with the crystals, sometimes we have to have small doses.
Lotus, it appears you have answered many of your own questions along the way
and also gotten wonderful input from other posters so I won't try to back track...but I do want to say that whatever Vibration (or "frequency") a person is naturally aligned to is just a part of what makes them unique individuals, and like Hemera said of the stars, is like our fingerprint in the universe. So, being "low" or "high" or "somewhere in the middle" does not indicate that there is anything wrong or worse/better than any other person. It just means it is part of our uniqueness. Because of my heritage, which still claims lineage to the stars, I also personally believe that these frequencies keep us aligned to the star (or star clusters) from which our ancestors originally came and to which our Spirits belong.
The issue, I think, is one of "harmony"...can we make 'beautiful music' together or do we grate so unpleasingly against each other that we cannot stand to be in the same room together? The issue of "harmony" is therefore also applied to the use or resonance we feel with crystals. And at least for me, I have found that some crystals in the same "register" have completely different affects on that harmonic balance within me. Much like the man in toning group who was able to "recalibrate" me, a piece of (what I think is) picasso jasper had a deep/positive affect on me but the red jasper was a bit of a stressor to my system.
