Good Vibrations
Yoga, Sound and the Energetic Body
The holiday season is a time of childlike wonder and suspending disbelief. It’s a yearly reminder that perhaps there is wiggle-room for a little wonderment of things unseen.
Imagine being in the room when scientist Chladni, armed with sand and plate, saw the existence of invisible sound vibrations for the very first time. Or witnessing artists Louviere and Vanessa as they watched the unseen vibrations of specific music notes appear before them. They are as complex and beautiful snowflakes!
Imagine being there in 2001 when scientist Gimzewski discovers that cells have sound. Or in 2023 with artist Navarro as she witnesses the stunningly beautiful existence of vibrations in seeds. Seeds!!
Yoga brings the wonder of unseen vibrations into the chakras and the healing power of sound-mantras like “om”. And as yoga has become more commonplace in the west, so have practices such as sound bowl healing.
The next time you experience the silence of hiking or yoga savasana, take a moment to suspend your disbelief. Imagine your energetic body filled with beautiful snowflake vibrations. Imagine tuning in and harmonizing with the universe.
‘Tis the season of wonderment.
Until next time,
Laura
