Edgar Cayce, a clairvoyant and founder of the nonprofit Association for Research and Enlightenment, once said, “Sound will be the medicine of the future.” This future is now. 

Music has been used since antiquity to relieve man of his ills, modify moods and support changes in states of consciousness and healing. All of creation comes from sound. It conveys to us that earth and all of the universe are born from sound and transformed into light. In essence, light is the translation of sound from a particular frequency, and all of the cosmos is a luminous wave with degrees of luminosity.

Good Vibrations

All of life is vibration and each one of us has a particular frequency at our soul level. When we choose to leave the body and our current incarnation, we are left with a vibrational essence and soul frequency that is our eternal nature. This is our true nature, our soul’s vibrational signature or unique frequency. This frequency is called “nada”, the internal sound and the unique expression of our soul’s eternal evolution. In this one sacred sound, lies the harmonic resonance of our immortal essence. We come from sound and we return to sound.

Unfortunately, western society’s advancement in certain areas has also come with a price—a constant onslaught of overstimulation upon our senses. This overstimulation has created a wider gap between our inner frequency and our waking consciousness—creating the spiritual disconnect we have been witnessing on planet earth. However, because of this obvious disconnect, humanity is now starting to search for more: the truth.

Our true vibrational essence is found beyond the noise, and deep within our consciousness. We are here to discover this and tap into our true eternal spiritual nature. Not only are we created by sound and are sound, but we can use sound as a tool to connect to our soul’s resonant frequency. With this, we expand our consciousness to receive more information through frequency bands of information that will help us live a multi-dimensional life in alignment with our soul’s truth, inner peace and wisdom from beyond.

Going beyond the limited logical mind is key to entering this space—and sound is an accelerating force. From gongs, to Tibetan singing bowls, to didgeridoos, to drums, the old yogis, indigenous cultures and mystics knew how to connect to these expanded states through music and sound.

The Voice as Healer

These external instruments do amazing and wonderful things, but the voice—the human voice—has so much untapped potential, it is staggering. When we sing, musical vibrations move through us, altering our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. 

In The Mysticism of Sound and Word, Hazrat Inayat Khan says, “Vocal music is considered to be the highest [form of sound healing], for it is natural; the effect produced by an instrument which is merely a machine cannot be compared with that of the human voice. However perfect strings may be, they cannot make the same impression on the listener as the voice which comes direct from the soul as breath, and has been brought to the surface through the medium of the mind and the vocal organs of the body.”

When we use the most powerful instrument to us (our divine and sacred voice) and we put together certain tones, emotions, words and intention, we have the ability to be powerhouse healers of our own.

Vocal sound healing is similar to vocal warmups done in a choir rehearsal or vocal lessons. However, vocal sound healing goes beyond that. With the power of intention, focus, proper harnessing of energy and certain harmonics, sounds are focused like laser beams toward particular energy centers. This focused sound work activates energetic flow and movement in places of tension which can release energy, alchemize lower frequencies into higher ones and activate higher dimensions.

We are now in an exciting time when much of this knowledge is re-emerging, the hidden truths of our power are unfolding and many scientists are just starting to try to catch up to what the ancients already knew. As consciousness expands, perhaps the gaps between science, metaphysics and spirituality will shrink, as we finally evolve as a collective.
