Very interesting concept, especially to a musician!  I must admit I haven't downloaded the program, but the following thoughts do occur to me:  the Buddhist temple chants from Tibet are expecially low, deep tones which have an amazingly powerful effect on the listener.. .

Personally, I have always preferred low voices (bass, bass baritone & contralto, as in Hans Hotter, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, & Ewa Podles, Kathleen Ferrier & Nathalie Stutzmann, all of whose interpretations I listen to at least daily). They have, to my ear, more power of expression & "soul" than high voices simply because of their inherent timbre (I can appreciate sopranos & coloraturas intellectually, but not emotionally) This is all regardless of the emotional tone of the music as intended by the composer.

So, I can't agree with the blanket notion that lower is more "physical" or dense than "higher", if that is what is being said; but certainly I agree that one can deduce a great deal about a person from their voice, though I think that would depend more on timbre than pitch.

Yet again, when I think of the booming, bass- thumping horror that passes for music in my neighbourhood. . . . . . 

yes that is very interesting. People have used drums for healing for..ages, really..but Sharry Edwards puts a new aspect into it with voice analysis.

Quote:


So I assume she uses the voice analysis to diagnose and them treats with sound.

Hmm what happens when Sharry Edwards meets Robert Monroe? or is that where Christopher comes in?

We probably are taught to just use sound for entertainment in this culture. We probably miss alot. When we ae young we seem more inclined to be attracted to strong beats; some kind of high physical energy must be needed to tolerate that.

I once read that Fritz Perls (Gestalt Therapy) talked about being about to tell alot about people from their voices, not exactly the same but related. Actors probably know this intuitively. Edwards just legitimized it all by quantitating voice patterns.

Jane Roberts had a character in one of her fiction works doing things with sound. Moving stones by creating the right voice sound. I guess that assumes that the sound thing is a two-way street..sound going in can affect the body and the body can produce sound that affects the physical reality, and also carries hidden information (ie besides the words).

Sounds like a topic that can be mined for knowledge for a long time.

fascinating
Do you have a link?

What if you "hear" more than one tone? Chords? can't identify the tone? How long do you have to hum before you ...hear...a difference?

  Somewhere around here Bruce talks about an interesting experience involving a device that seemed to be measuring a person's frequencies and which generated an audio tone reflection. 

  The person they tried it on, had a lower tone to begin with, and as a healer attuned to healing energies and channelled that into the person, the tone kept going up in octaves interestingly.

  This is similar to the idea behind and the connection between the different Chakras and colors. 

   For example, if we compare the colors of red and blue, one of the differences is in the rate of vibration.  Blue vibrates at a much faster rate than red. 

   In auras, red is said to symbolise more physical, survival type issues.  When a person tends to have a lot of red consistently in their aura with a lack of the higher frequency colors showing at the same time, certain characteristics and tendencies are often seen like a lot of self centeredness, a lack of patience with others and life in general, a tendency towards being easily angered or frustrated, a strong materialistic bent, power hunger, domineering, etc. 

  Or in other words, someone with a lot of consistent red in their aura if there is at the same time a lack of the higher frequency colors or expressions like the green blues, blues and purples, golds, or pure White Light (not an actual color btw), then often such an individual could be termed an "immature" consciousness or going through a very immature/lacking in attunement to PUUL phase or cycle. 

   I'm really oversimplifying the whole issue, but essentially the idea is as one attunes more and more purely to PUUL, the faster and faster vibratory their emanations will become.   Someone emanating a lot of the more clear, bright, deeper blues, purples, golds, and/or White Light will be someone who has a strong attunement to PUUL in the more pure and consistent sense.

  Emanating only pure White Light or Golden tinged White Light, shows or reflects a consciousness who IS PUUL personified.   These are the fastest vibratory rates, and yet interestingly White Light contains all other major colors within it, but in a perfectly balanced/harmonised state.   

  Or in other words, relating to the above, we all need some red in us, but in a good balance or proportion with the rest... becoming overly red attuned then we become to separative in nature and consciousness, and will only suffer more and facilitate suffering in the rest of creation.

  Re: some of the Buddhist chanting, i'm not sure why so many are kept at such low tones.  Maybe it is for the purpose of initially grounding self before expanding into faster frequency consciousness states?  I don't know.  Let's not forget that these are religions and religions often involve following dogma for dogma's sake.  To think that Eastern religions are completely free from this is to miss the whole idea of completely going within for truth.

When i tone, i often start at the lower tones to ground and then raise it up.  This i've done intuitively.
