Image via Wikipedia I like to use the analogy that one is wearing dark glasses and then upon perceiving harmonics, is able to take off these glasses and see the full spectrum of sound. Only of course, it is not the sense of sight we are dealing with, but the sense of hearing. Through learning…
Image via Wikipedia The first sense to arrive is that of hearing. And hearing is you last sense to depart. Even scientists will tell you that for those revived from the near death experience the last sense that they were aware of on the physical plane was sound. These scientists will also tell you that…
Image via Wikipedia My first introduction to hearing vocal harmonics came from listening to recordings many years ago. I heard the harmonic sounds and tried to duplicate them. Later on, I studied with masters of the harmonic voice from many different traditions. Yet, there are now many individuals who hear and consciously create vocal harmonics quite…
Image by Thai Jasmine via Flickr In our last conversation, we began the discussion of harmonics. We talked about the actual physics of harmonics–their relationships as geometric multiples of vibrating strings. We also discussed some of their uses in the esoteric traditions such as the Tibetan “Deep Voice” chanting style. I would now like to…
The use of vocal harmonics as a sacred and transformation tool all but vanished here in the West. In some of the Mystery Schools that survived, there has been continued knowledge of the power of vowel sounds. These vowel sounds have been understood to convey great energy and some realize that many of your…
Image by Vít Hassan via Flickr With harmonics of the voice, we are usually talking about overtones that are anywhere from twice the frequency of the fundamental, up to 15 times the fundamental. While it is possible that harmonics can conceptually represent sound turning into light (because when a sonic frequency is multiplied by 40…
Thus far, we have discussed various aspects of sound, including concepts such as “frequency”, “intent”, “vibrational resonance”, “visualization”, “vocalization” and other aspects of using sound to shift frequency. Last issue, we mentioned the idea of a “harmonic language.” It is time now to begin to deal with the subject of harmonics, or overtones, as they are also…
Image by Dean Forbes via Flickr Harmonics are there and yet not there, tangible and yet not tangible. They are present and yet not noticed, until the shift begins to occur. First our hearing changes – we can perceive things that are hidden. Next, our voices change – we can create sounds that were not…
