The Impact of Sound: We Are Sound & Sound Is Us
My thoughts have been captivated by the intriguing world of sound frequencies and their profound impact on human existence. Sound surrounds us as an energetic field, shaping our lives in ways we may not even realize. It influences how we perceive colours, interact with others, experience nature, engage with art and culture, and even affects our well-being through a medicinal approach.
At the core of this fascination lies the scientific basis for sound's influence on our lives. Sound waves travel through the air, reaching our ears and creating auditory perceptions that our brains process into a rich tapestry of experiences. Beyond mere sensations, sound frequencies have the power to influence our behaviour, emotions, and cognitive processes. They can shape how we walk, talk, and react emotionally, highlighting their impact on both our physical and psychological aspects.
One particularly intriguing aspect is the influence of sound on our subconscious mind. Our words are spells, but what makes them spells? The vibrational energy it comes from. For instance, you look at yourself in the mirror, the first thought you have is how you would describe yourself in that moment. These thoughts have a voice where sometimes it’s your own voice and sometimes it is not - those thoughts may come from what you were conditioned to from others. For instance it could be a parent’s voice telling you sweet or negative things. These voices then have a huge role in impacting your intentions - your mood switches which your energy then shifts. The way that your thoughts are heard is what shapes your inner environment. The sound of your own voice is what impacts your surroundings.
Sound is a means of communication that conveys information and intentions. When we speak, our vocal cords produce sound waves that carry the information of our words, pitch, and intensity. This acoustic communication fosters shared understanding and emotional responses, aligning with the idea of "words are spells" in how they influence our interactions.
The synchronization of brainwave patterns with specific musical rhythms and harmonies illustrates the effect of sound on our neural activities. This begins to get super interesting because the way sound is noticeably perceived is mainly through music. However, each living being, object, organism has a frequency that it belongs to. We are sound and sound is us.
Sound's influence is not limited to the auditory experience; it can have internal implications on our biological processes. Fascinating studies on synesthesia have shed light on the interconnectedness of sensory experiences. You can learn about this via Neil Harbisson. He perceives colours through sound and it is extremely fascinating.
