"All matter vibrates and has a specific frequency from the orbiting planets of the Solar System to the electrons orbiting the nucleus of the atom. Since all matter vibrates, we know that each organ and tissue of the body have specific vibratory rates. The principles of working with sound in the healing process are resonance and harmony. As the sound waves enter the body sympathetic vibration occur in its living cells which help resonate and reinforce healthy organization. The high water content of the body's tissue helps to conduct sound and the overall effect is likened to a deep massage at the atomic and molecular levels. The human being is therefore likened to a very complex, unique and finely tuned musical instrument."

The Book of Sound Therapy

Edgar Cayce, the "sleeping profit" and clairvoyant, was quoted as saying, "Sound will become the medicine of the future."

"It is an observable fact, based on hard data and clinical observation , that shamanic sound can profoundly alter brainwave activity and awareness. What is most compelling for me is the possible scientific documentation of shamanic sound and its effects on actual physical and microprocessor (such as genetic changes in the physical and neurotransmitter alterations)."

Dr. Alfred Tomatis claimed, "the primary purpose of the ear is to recycle sound to recharge our inner batteries. Sound feeds us the electrical impulses that charge the neo-cortex of the brain, just as food provides nourishment for the regeneration of energy."

"The new science of psychoacoustics... the study of the effect of music and sound on the human nervous system. Research shows that music and sound can relieve pain, help stroke patients, and benefit other conditions."

Spontaneous Healing

"Quantum physics and other recent research has shown us that our bodies are actually made up of energy vibrating at particular rate of frequency. So, since we are literally sonic, vibrating brings, it stands to reason that sound can be very effective, perhaps one of the most effective alternative healing modalities we presently have at our disposal."

Dr. Ohno, a geneticist working with DNA sequencing, ascribed musical notation to the DNA code and found that the DNA of cells make recognizable melodies.
