Our top tao guru on the healing power of sound
Physicists call it the background radiation wave.Indian mystics call it shabd meaning the sacred sound of existence, and chant OM or RAM over and over to replicate it. Gandhi was in the habit of doing so himself, which is why he was reported erroneously to have said “Oh God!” when he was shot. He was actually chanting RAM, even (and especially) at the point of dying.Even in our own western creation myth, Genesis, the first book of the Bible, the opening words run: God spoke and said, “Let there be light! ”implying that before light comes sound.The ancient taoist sages, whose system I practise and teach myself,also recognised that existence was predicated primarily on sound and passed down a method for healing the vital organs and energy field by chanting various tones.
Not only will this instigate a healing process for body and mind, but external aspects of your life too
Try it yourself…
You can make use of the following simplified version of this to good effect without any training and if practised once a day, you will find yourself feeling happier, healthier and markedly more in flow with the abundance of the universe within a week or so.
The way it works is to send sound vibrations through all the energetic blockages in your system, because sound is energy and wherever energy goes, blocks just spontaneously dissolve.
Start off by mentally accessing all theblocks and pain in your mind and body. Thenmake sounds to describe it. Moan and groanyour pain out in whichever way occurs for afew moments.
Then visualise your body encased in a large ovoid shape composed of light. This represents your energy field. It not only comprises your physical form but also extends to approximately three meters above, below, behind, in front and to the sides of you
Take a deep breath and, as resonantly and sonorously as you can, chant the sound SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (like shit without the tat the end, pardon my French). Feel the sound reverberate throughout the ovoid energy field, both within the skin and all around you, visualizing every single light-particle vibrating faster and faster until the entire field is glowing far more brightly. Feel the sound move through all the areas of pain and contraction in both body and mind,obliterating all darkness, all sense of shadow,and keep chanting it until your entire person is seen as nothing but bright light.
Not only will this instigate a healing process for body and mind, it will also do likewise for all external aspects of your life:your relationship with your environment,with the people in your life, and even with money.
When you’ve finished chanting allow the echoes of the sound to continue reverberating within you as you work, rest and play and within no time at all symptoms will spontaneously start clearing and the warp and weft of your reality will acquire a fresher brighter hue.
