Music Matters

By: Kate M. Serrano

Perhaps Bob Marley was right when he said "One good thing about music, is when it hits you, you feel no pain." Studies suggest that music not only helps us cope with pain — it can also benefit our physical and mental health in numerous other ways. Anyone who has ever wiped tears away from their eyes listening to a relatable sad song will know how powerful simple notes and chords can be.

Everyone reacts to music in different ways. One individual may love heavy metal while others find pleasure listening to Mozart. Whatever the preference may be, studies have shown that plugging in to your favourite music could help melt away a bad mood. Music triggers the release of dopamine, the feel-good chemical in the brain.

If you’re into running, music helps you pick up your pace and run faster. A study at Brunel University in West London has shown that music can help increase endurance by as much as 15 per cent, helping to lower the perception of effort during exercise, as well as increasing energy efficiency by between one and three per cent. Again, this is so because of the release of endorphins— our natural 'feel good' hormones that lift our mood and give us motivation to carry on longer with exercise. Focusing on your favorite album may not let you notice you just ran an extra mile.

For many people suffering from memory loss the spoken language has become meaningless. Music can act as an outlet for expressing things that they are unable to put into words. It awakens memory and can help patients remember tunes or songs and get in touch with their history. Music can be a great pick-me-up when you are feeling stressed too. Tuning in to your favourite songs can be incredibly soothing and help to reduce anxiety.

Are You In Tune With Your Universe?

Music is well known to influence societies as a whole with words and deeper meanings; however does the  influence of music solely lie within the words and the tempo of the music? Music worldwide is tuned to ISO standards ( International Standards organization) of 440 Hz. A recent rediscovery of vibration and oscillatory in nature has lead to the conclusion that the standardized Hz may be unhealthy for the consciousness of all human beings. If this is so, why would this be standardized internationally?

Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels is said to have made the change from the natural frequency of 432Hz to the now standardized 440Hz to gain control of an individuals personal ambiance; possibly leading to the domination of a people. This frequency is said to possibly promote mental disease, suppressing spirituality and creative intuitive aspects of our personal being, negatively affecting our bodies and immune systems.

In the year of 1940 the United States had introduces 440Hz and following the year of 1953 the ISO had endorsed and dictated that this frequency would be the standard tuning for instruments, audio and music. What can be the speculation that has allowed a detrimental effect to the health of an entire society? Perhaps stimulating the brain to react in disharmonious plangency. A key role in creating an unstable sense of mind, ultimately leading to disease and war.

Music based off of the natural frequencies of 432Hz flow with the natural vibrations of our bodies and the natural mediums around us. The frequency brings a wholesome experience, a organic spiritual boost, regardless of the type, tone and phrasing behind the song. There is a release on blocked emotions, and we regain a consciousness that allows us to be more in tune with our universe in a perceptive sense. This frequency allows us to literally tune into our universe and once again regain control of our own consciousness, we become whole again.

As a part of a developed and established society, I see a majority of people using a electronic devices to listen to and become preoccupied within a subconscious reality. A greater part of society may not know the negative effects of the frequencies they are exposed to daily by the music they do listen to. Vibrations and frequencies are critically important aspect within our universe and ourselves. the science of cymatics proves that this is the essential foundation to the creation of all matter and life on our planet.

Find peace within your subconscious reality, and be perspective of all around you, research and observe cymatics and create a new meaning to your life. Tune into your universe and truly recognize the healing potential the natural frequency of 432Hz can provide for you.

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” -Nikola Tesla
