Welcome Dr. Gary Robert Buchanan

[HaroldB]

Hello Gary,
My name is Harold Boulette. I am not a musician or researcher in BIOresonance, but I do find the field fascinating and I am interested in all forms of natural healing. In October, I heard you tell someone that it was not a good idea to listen to healing sounds with an I-pod or similar MP3 player. Could you elaborate on that?

Hi, Harold.

Thank you for contributing to the Forum with your comments and great question.

Yes, several of us have been discussing digital sound and how it has almost completely taken over all of our listening experiences. This is a global phenomenon, a multi-trillion dollar corporate empire, and yet few people are aware of the tremendous differences between "live" and old-fashioned "analog" sound, and the new sampled wave forms that are all-pervasive.

Everyone is being required to change from analog television reception to digital boxes. A recent email from a friend says that within a short period of time the FDA will demand that we all switch to "digital food," or "DF!" (That's a joke, in case anyone is wondering.)

There are many, many good areas to discuss --- but, I will limit myself to just a couple.

Basically, natural sounds are sinusoidal, i.e. "sine" waves. The body responds best to sine waves on all levels, and is more efficaciously "healed" with naturally produced "musical" sounds, or with sine wave oscillation.

Now, the binary, digital, sampling rates of digital wave forms in recordings do not capture much of the "live" sound, its secondary and tertiary qualities. The digital waves are "stepped," whereas the older magnetic tapes inscribed more "sinusoidal" wave forms. Plus, the magnetic particles on the tape could also be influenced by other environmental factors, such as natural noises and resonances, fine gradients of frequency and amplitude fluctuations, and most importantly --- the "intent" of all involved, e.g., on the quantum levels. The "mind" of the performer --- and the recording engineer --- effected what was imprinted on those tapes. This is a well-known understanding among sound engineers.

Now, on more superficial levels digital music sounds just fine. It's clean, precise, everything seems to be there. The recorder has captured a great deal --- has even "filtered out" a lot of noise, etc. And, that's just the problem, see?

But, even more importantly, on the microscopic levels we are confronted with "stepped" wave forms. On the molecular and atomic levels, particulate and nano-levels, those digital waves are simply big data chunks/blocks that have no "curvatures" at all! In fact, we might even say that on the biological levels in general the digital waves act more like cutting "saws" than gently undulating waves in harmony with the body and its functions, the natural electro-magnetic fields, the holographic resonances.

In sound therapy, if we use sine-tone generators directly, we get optimal healing effects. If we use digital sound, say, from a good computer sound card, the healing still works --- but not nearly as well as with natural or analog sound. If we then re-record the digital output, say on a compact disk, forget any healing effect whatsoever. It is totally GONE! And, there are all kinds of technical reasons for this --- too extensive to get into here. I would say, if you want to record a natural sine wave --- use tape. Secondarily, use the best DVD-type recording and playback possible. Never re-record a digital signal on digital and expect any wave front bioresonance to be there.

So, what is the long-ranged effect on folks listening to CDs, Ipods, MP3 players, and all the rest? At this point in time only God knows! But, there can be absolutely no question that the digital waves are effecting the body, mind, and spirit differently --- and changes will be taking place.

Bests,

Gary

Thanks Gary,

That reply explains it very well. It sound like even listening to spoken words, such as audio books, through MP3 players is not recommended. I am still reading your book and I'll probably have additional questions as I do. I'm currently reading chapter twenty four.

I want to thank Rick and Gary for creating the space for this forum, great opportunity for more synergy. I havent read Gary's book yet, but the table of contents looks quite interesting.

In a post above, Rick wrote: "How do we determine what sounds/frequencies/tones are beneficial to us [and our clients]..."

The technique I use is called the VAS, Vascular Autonomic Signal, developed by Dr. Paul Nogier in the 60's in France. This tunes into what you could call a level of "heart-intelligence" or wisdom about what are the most appropriate vibrational tools and settings that can be used in a given context. One can basically operate from a hierarchical menu system where first the modality is chosen, then the settings for that modality: location, frequency, etc. You can read more about how this works on my website, http://www.lightfield.com .

For some background on the VAS, there is an excellent PhD thesis by Muriel Agnes on the links page: http://www.lightfield.com/links.htm . Note that I believe vibrational modalities are only part of the elements necessary to facilitate healing responses. Equally important are strategies to energize or fuel new growth, and then to detox or reform physical, emotional, mental structures that are poised to transform. Without these elements, my experience is that vibrational tools are less effective. You could say that vibration catalyzes or synergizes change, but is not the basis for that change. That basis comes from within as a creative impulse. See the page http://www.lightfield.com/energize.htm for detox and energize elements that have been most helpful.

Here is a text file with the complete hierarchical menu system that I use with the VAS, showing one possible 'toolbox' of modalities, chosen by the client's own heart-intelligence. http://www.lightfield.com/higsmenu.txt . For an example of another vibrational system utilizing the VAS and PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic fields), see the Ondamed site, http://www.ondamed.net . I began using the VAS in the early 90's, well before Ondamed introduced their system. But needless to say, there are probably hundreds of practitioners worldwide using the VAS in alternative medicine.

In another post above, Rick wrote "Anything else you can tell us about sacred geometry that helps us understand how we might use and/or apply it in our works and creations would be much appreciated too."

I have been utilizing a wonderful geometry modality that I found through Cory Herter's work. It greatly accelerates the speed of emotional and energetic transformations, and can be used in conjunction with any other modalities you are incorporating. And it is also free and open-source, to encourage community synergy and cooperative development. You can read about it here on my page on Geometric Information Field Technology, GIFT, http://www.lightfield.com/gift.htm .

Hello Gary,
I finished your book and found it very enlightening. I have another question and a comment. First, the comment.
You mentioned that Cymatherapy and other forms of vibrational therapy have been succesfully used to treat pets and other animals. I think that is great, but another possible use would be in diagnosing animal illnesses. I know veterinarians often have difficulty dagnosing illnesses because a pet can't talk to them like a human patient.
Now for the Question: I think you touched on this in the book but I was wondering if anyone has researched the effect of combining BIOresonance therapy with aromatherapy?

Dear Harold,

I am, of course, delighted that you enjoyed my humble offerings in SONA. So many have now gotten back to me with gracious comments about the text — describing how they are now taking the R & D to wonderful new levels! One fellow even told me that he had just finished his “seventh” reading — and continues to make notes!

Cymatic Therapy:

By the way, we do make a distinction between “Cymatic Therapies” and “Cymatherapy®,” the latter being a trademarked name of the company in Atlanta — just so you know. Importantly, there are several global entities making “Cymatic Therapy” available, and my major reference is always to the Telesound, Ltd. facility run by Trevor Hudson in England (See http://www.telesound.co.uk/)

Yes, animals can be treated with Wave Front Bioresonance — diagnosed, as well. Some of the more successful therapies have been with farm animals, e.g., dogs, cats, sheep and cattle, and even race horses. If one is familiar with the anatomy, meridians, and auric fields of these animals, diagnoses are quite possible... especially if the “auric fields” can be “read” or “sensed.” Simply passing a sound applicator over the animal, whille utilizing certain commutations and listening, can reveal a great deal about a pet’s conditions and needs — if one has a good ear.

Aromatherapy:

In regard to your other question: As you probably know, our Healing Center at Steamboat Hot Springs does offer Aromatherapy, e.g., in the bath waters, in the sauna, in various massage sessions (Swedish, Deep-Tissue, Gentle Alignment, Hot Stone, etc.), along with special “essences” sold in the spa’s shop. (See http://www.steamboatsprings.org/)

At this time, most of those offerings are rather simple and limited. However, I have personally used Aromatherapy in combination with WFB and Light-Color applications with “clients” — not “patients.” (Careful here, my doctorate is in music, not medicine!)

In sessions, for example, I will often choose oils, tinctures, specially prepared vibrational waters and essences to massage certain parts of the body — or simply lave on general areas — afterward applying the sound and light, which energizes those liquids and “drives" them into the body and its fields — as well as filling the small treatment room with “healing smells.”

Dr. Manners even derived sound commmutations, for example, for ALL of the "Bach Flower" essences!

One of the more prominent leaders in Aromatherapy was the late Jacob Bronowski, and there are several of our colleagues following in his “Qabalistic” footsteps. For example, just this week we are being visited by hands-on-healer Michael Limacher (discussed in SONA) and his wife, Debra, who has studied the extraction and mixing of incredibly therapeutic essences for many years now.

You know, there are sensitives who can “smell” the aura — and the entire area of Aromatherapy will definitely be expanded in the near future. Hope these tidbits are useful.

Love & Light,

Gary

Hey, William!

Thank you so much for your amazing input on the Forum. I am very much impressed with the web links you have provided — still working my way through them all — for example, the “Light Field Systems” page with all of those diverse references. Hopefully, others will be prompted to share similar technologies with which they are working on the Forum.

Great minds run in circles, no? Many of the things you present are to great extent also discussed in SONA, and I hope you may find time to eventually check that book out.

The Tiller Model and discussion, i.e., “Nodal Network,” Indra’s net, et al, seem to conform with our own observations in therapy discussed in SONA,” e.g., in several chapters, but primarily “Chapter Seven: Synesthesia & Pedagogy,” “ Chapter Fourteen: Healing with Water,” and, “Chapter Fifteen: Wave Front Bioresonance: Theory.”

Similarly, in terms of “sacred geometry,” we would view Drunvalo Melchizedek’s “Flower of Life” pattern, as found globally among virtually all “solar cultures,” as simply the “closest packing of spheres” discussed and illustrated time and again, in Buckminster Fullers’ “Synergetics,” but indicative of the "Vesicas" formed wherein heightened "cavitation" occurs.

We have also worked with members of “The Institute of Heart Math, and your remarks there are spot-on! We define that “Center of Beingness” as but one of the four higher-dimensional Light Body fields of the Entity — namely “Consciousness, Being, Intellect, and Form” (discussed in SONA: “Chapter Fifteen”). Within the “Indra” context, these might be the four parts of the “Purusha,” three-fourths of which migrate at death, leaving Intellect behind.

Especially impressive are your offerings of Light Applicators with which one may “tune” to specific Angstrom counts. You must have Rick put you in touch with Adam Reed of our “SONA Working Group,” a true expert on color and light technologies. I am sure we would ALL benefit if you two were to hook-up!

The Qi-Gong machine you link to is also discussed in great detail, as well, in SONA. (“Chapter Twenty-Four: Infrasonics”). I also use the Qi-Gong applicators in therapies — but not with that unit.

Most of all, I am pleased that you are so freely sharing and disseminating your materials and insights. Good on you, mate! Llet’s continue these discussions — here, and perhaps in private.

Love & Light,

Gary

William & All,

I wanted to add a separate post on the VAS System William mentioned. This is also discussed in great detail in SONA, and all of the frequencies and relationships developed by Paul Nogier in his Auriculotherapy are also important, to me, in the formation of sound healing commutations.

The base frequency given by Nogier is 9.125 Hertz. It is, essentially, the pitch "D," and the color Orange, for physiological health. (Links with the sacral nadi-chakra.) The "base pulse-tone" is "9," i.e., in octaves 9, 18, 36, 72, 144, 288, 576 Hz, etc. Nogier added the extra "0.125" to the base-9 frequency, which I posit is a slight increase in pulsation to help overcome "tissue interface" as phonon trains are being generated in the body.

Thus, the altered Nogier "octaves" would be 1.140625, 2.28125, 4.5625, 9.125, 18.25, 36.5, 73, 146, 292, 584 Hz, etc. Each of these "pulse-rates" was assigned a different function by Nogier. For example, 1.140625 applies to the regeneration of basic embryonic cell structures. 9.125 is good for the gastro-intestinal system, etc.

In the formation of five-frequency Cymatic commutations (and there have to be 5 in order to create 3-D standing waves) we often use the Nogier pulse rates to define the harmonic series of the overall wave front.

For example, if we know that the frequency of 584 is good, say, for Circulation, and we wish to "center" this "control" tone in a 5-frequency commutation, then we need to surround that tone with four other tones, so as to deliver a wave front of 584 Hz as directly and efficaciously as possible with a sound applicator.

Now, we could simply place the tone within a tight formation of one and two Hz below and above the 584 Hz. Such a commutation would be 582, 583, 584, 585, amd 586. The 584 would definitely be strong and centered in this manner --- even stronger if we pulsed the entire wave front at, say, 1 Hz.

But, if we were to "pulse" the commutation at Nogier's base frequency of 1.140625 Hz, the effect would be even more powerful. Why? Because the 584 is a multiple "octave" of that base-tone frequency, i.e. 584 = 512 times 1.140625 Hz.

Moreover, we can atually "harmonize" the entire commutation by using Nogier's 1.140625 number with all the tones. For example, instead of using "I Hz," we can use the 1.140625 in all calculations. Such a series would be

584 plus 1.140625 = 585.140625
585.140625 pluse 1.140625 = 586.28125

584 minus 1.140625 = 582.85938
582.85938 minus 1.140625 = 581.71876

The new combination of five tones would be 581.71876, 582.85938, 584, 585.140625, and 586.28125.

Now, each tone in the commutation is an "Harmonic" of 1.140625 Hz, and the entire wave front, again, would be pulsed at 1.140625 Hz. In this way, Nogier's basic tone for Circulation has been centered, made completely harmonic, and carries nothing but Nogier summation and difference tones, in a 5-frequency array that should be extremely therapeutic in applications.

Of course, there are numerous other ways to "center" a tone --- and by using either Nogier's, Abrams', or other known basic "pulse-tone" frequencies as rates for making the series harmonic and/or for pulsing. All such arrays produce amazing CymaGlyphs(R) when viewed as 3-D resonances in water, for example.

I would encourage everyone reading the Forum to look into Paul Nogier, the VAS System and the Color & Light therapies that are also being utilized by Nogier exponents.

Bests,

Gary

Gary, thanks for your comments.

re: "Nogier frequencies". You are correct, Nogier did derive specific frequencies for his original work in the field of vibrational medicine. However, later systems that utilize the VAS, such as Ondamed and my own work, called HIGS (Heart Intelligence Guidance System, http://www.lightfield.com/higs.htm ) --are not locked into these older fixed frequencies or their multiples. Instead, the client's pulse is interrogated in the moment for which location, frequency, duration -- is optimal and in resonance.

In fact this is a closer definition of bioresonance, that which matches the situation for this client at this point in time. Frequency and commutation tables I think still have some value, but if you have a diagnostic system that reads out the client directly, then that seems optimal to me in my experience.
