Frequencies, music and transformation:

How our audios work

Words, music, our consciousness, our body, indeed the entire universe is nothing more than
vibration of energy. The rate this energy vibrates is called the frequency. Rocks, emotions, people
and even planets differ from each other, and everything else, because of their unique vibrational
frequency.
Therefore by 'tuning' your brain to certain frequencies using brainwave entrainment and other
techniques, it is possible to experience different states of consciousness, as well as stimulating
certain brain functions such as creativity or mood enhancement.

1. How brain wave frequencies affect our body and brain

In the tables below, you can see a few examples of how specific brainwave states affect your mood,
your health and even your psychic abilities...
You'll then discover how we can 'tune' your brain to certain brainwave patterns to receive positive
benefits such as psychic development, relaxation, healing and enhanced learning ...and how these
benefits are multiplied when combined with the beautiful music and positive frequencies in the
powerful mp3s in our store...
Beta Frequencies
13Hz to 30Hz Normal wakefulness
33Hz Christ consciousness, hypersensitivity, Pyramid frequency (inside)
35Hz Awakening of mid-chakras, balance of chakras
38Hz Endorphin release
Alpha Frequencies
8Hz to 13Hz Alpha: relaxed, tranquil and non-drowsy, inward awareness,
8.3Hz Pick up visual images of mental objects
10Hz Enhanced release of serotonin and mood elevator
10.5Hz Healing of body, mind/body unity, firewalking
Theta Frequencies
4Hz to 7Hz Theta: recall, fantasy, imagery, creativity, planning, dreaming
4Hz Extrasensory perception
6.3Hz Astral Projection, Accelerated learning & Increased memory retention
7.0Hz Psychic surgery, bending objects

Delta Frequencies
1Hz to 3Hz Delta: deep, dreamless sleep, trance state, non-REM sleep
1.0Hz Feeling of well-being, pituitary stimulation to release growth hormone
3.4Hz Sound sleep
3.5Hz Feeling of unity with everything

Examples of other frequencies

141.27Hz - Associated with orbit of Mercury, associated with communication
144Hz - Helps with headaches
341Hz - Heart chakra
473Hz - the color blue

2. How music affects our body and brain

Music can effect hormones and can even trigger a release of endorphins - feel good chemicals.
Beyond the biology and the actual responses of your body, there is scientific evidence it can affect
your mind.
The most famous experiment related to this is probably the one that was performed at the University
of California at Irvine. College students were assigned to three different groups. The first group
listened to Mozart's sonata for Two Pianos in D Major. The second group listened to a relaxation
tape. The third group listened to nothing at all. After listening, they took a Stanford-Beinet reasoning
test. The results were clear -- those who had listened to Mozart had improved scores...

Beautiful, unique and ancient audios to transform your world

Beautiful
Therefore by combining beautiful classical, meditation and contemporary music with positive
frequencies (by using brainwave entrainment - BWE), you're receiving the powerful effects of the
music ...and the frequencies ...and of course, it's great to listen to.
Today you can access wonderful meditation and sleep music through our Inner Journeys category,
with some of the compositions enhanced with BWE to help you meditate or sleep deeper, easier and
quicker.
We've also teamed up with the brilliant record label Paradise music to bring you some of their award
winning music at unbeatable prices in our Music from Paradise category. Whether you are looking
for albums to relax and unwind to, or inspire and uplift you, here you will find quality music performed
by musicians that play from the heart.
Unique
You can also access Super Mind Music - a unique blend of great music and BWE. We find the very
best classical music such as Mozart, plus wonderful modern ambient, electronic and chilled music.
Then JeffGignac, the leading brain audio expert, mixes it with different frequencies using BWE.
Some albums enhance your creativity and efficiency, others help relieve your stress and some even
use healing frequencies...
For example, on our popular The Awakening chakra album, the BWE base pitch is set
at 341Hz which is associated with the heart chakra. Additionally, the BWE is set at 10.5Hz which is
said to help with healing the body and encourages mind body unity (you can see these frequencies
in the lists above.) ... So this enhanced music is perfect for healing ...and feeling love, compassion
and unity (* and you can get Sacred Love from The Awakening for Free, see below)
In our Ultimate Mind Music range, we combine BWE, the beautiful music of Super Mind Music ....and
powerful affirmations. This allows us to create audios with more specific uses i.e. creating a wealth
mindset.
We also combine BWE with the revolutionary technique, Dream Programming - The widely unknown
ability to improve your life by pre-programming your dreams while you sleep was revealed in the

incredible mind power research of The Super Mind Evolution System. Current mp3s can help you
quit smoking forever, lose weight naturally, feel super confident, become highly intuitive and much
more.
You can also experience the 'sacred solfeggio' frequencies...
Ancient
The original Solfeggio frequencies were apparently used in Ancient Gregorian Chants, and because
the music held mathematical resonance, the frequencies were capable of spiritually inspiring
mankind to be more 'Godlike'.
They are said to have the capacity to effect matter and consciousness, but were lost centuries ago
after alterations were made to the scales. Recently they were apparently rediscovered...
The Solfeggio Frequencies...

174 Hz - Foundation - This frequency creates a foundation for the acceleration and evolution of
consciousness.
285 Hz - Quantum Cognition - This frequency assists in the expansion of consciousness in
balanced multi dimensional fields of awareness.
396 Hz - Liberation From Fear - The influences of strength and prepares the way for liberation.
417 Hz - Transmutation - Internal Guidance is awakened and instills a clear vision and power.
528 Hz - DNA Repair (Miracle) - The listener is gifted with strength and peace as their purpose
is unveiled through the instruments of free will and divine guidance.
639 Hz - Relationship Harmonization - The complete healing radiant Light descends upon the
listener filling the personal mind with the influences of balance, health and tranquility.
741 Hz - Consciousness Expansion - Clear vision is enabled allowing the opening and
multiplication of a mind that is self empowered, organized and free.
852 Hz - Awakening Intuition - The Inner Voice becomes clear and strong in the revelation of
divine purpose.
963 Hz - Numinous Accord - The presence of divinity is amplified allowing Light and Love to
guide the present experience.

Continuing where The Secret left off. . .

FREQUENCY: The Power of Personal Vibration

Foreword by Michael Bernard Beckwith
Because science has long taught us to rely on what we can see and touch, we often don't notice that
our spirit, thoughts, emotions, and body are all made of energy. Everything is vibrating. In fact, each
of us has a personal vibration that communicates who we are to the world and helps shape our reality.
In Frequency, Penney Peirce shows you how to feel your personal vibration and work intentionally
with energy to transform your life. By learning to find your "home frequency" the highest, most
natural personal vibration you can attain you can maximize clarity, minimize struggle, and discover
new talents and capacities.
Awakening to the new reality that a higher frequency reveals can help you dramatically improve
relationships, find upscale solutions to problems, and materialize a life that contains everything you
need. A simple shift in frequency is often all it takes to change depression to peace, fear to
enthusiasm, and snagged situations to magical results. Frequency shows you how to manage your
energy "state" so you can stay on track with your destiny and reap the benefits of the life you're
truly built for.

Some Key Points from Frequency

We're becoming increasingly aware of internal and external energy, its qualities, and the
principles by which it functions frequency, vibration, resonance, waves, oscillation, cycles,
octaves, and spectrums. We're discovering that these concepts are at the heart of the newest
techniques for knowing, doing, and having everything.
Your personal vibration the frequency of energy you hold moment by moment in your
body, emotions, and mind is the most important tool you have for creating and living
your ideal life. If your energy frequency is high, fast, and clear, life unfolds effortlessly and in
alignment with your destiny, while a lower, slower, more distorted frequency begets a life of snags
and disappointments.
Here are three key things to understand now: (1) you are being affected by an evolutionary
process that moves through specific stages, which is causing the energetic frequency of your body,
emotions, and mind to accelerate, (2) because the rising frequency of your energy parallels your level
of awareness, you are gradually becoming more aware, sensitive, visionary, empathic, and loving, and
(3) the biggest challenge of the next few years will be working with your sensitivity, keeping your
personal vibration clear, and learning to use "frequency principles" to live successfully in the coming
times.

What Experts Are Saying about Frequency

Seeing ourselves as energy beings is the most important breakthrough of our times. In Frequency,
Penney Peirce clarifies many of the energy principles that have previously been unacknowledged, but
which we can now intentionally use to keep ourselves healthy and improve the realities we live in. I
laughed out loud when I read this book, and enjoyed it immensely.
Richard Bartlett, author of Matrix Energetics
This book takes The Secret to yet another level. At the center of it is an important truth. The left brain
will argue with it but, if you listen to what Penney Peirce is saying, with an ear attuned to what
resonates in you, you will gain something lasting that really matters.
Don Joseph Goewey, author of Mystic Cool
Penney Peirce is a master teacher who has gifted us with this powerful book that weaves so many
strands in the consciousness tapestry into a coherent whole. Throughout the pages of this illuminating
book, readers will find hope to replace despair and helplessness, and will discover new tools to live a

wholesome and satisfying life.

Marcia Emery, PhD, author of PowerHunch!
Frequency is an amazing book, synthesizing diverse views for expanding our perception and
developing extraordinary human capacities. It's a handbook for the future, and will be an invaluable
personal guide for adapting in a healthy and creative way to living in this accelerating world.
Hal Zina Bennett, author of
The Lens of Perception: A User's Guide to Higher Consciousness
From the title on, Penney Peirce captures and explains the often misunderstood and overlooked
subtleties of energy and vibration. As a psychic detective, I use body sensitivity and the ability to
discern subtle energy for crime scene work, tuning in to the frequencies of a location to recreate what
took place there. I've also taught children and families how to master their sensitivity to vibrations to
ensure personal safety. Frequency offers readers the tools to recognize and develop these
sensitivities within themselves to speed personal growth and find greater freedom in life.
Pam Coronado, Intuitive Investigator and costar of
Sensing Murder, Discovery Channel
Frequency is filled with Penney's profound wisdom and is deeply helpful to anyone wanting to raise
their vibration, achieve inner/outer unity, tap into their own wisdom, and move toward emotional
enlightenment.
Margaret Paul, PhD, author/co-author of
Inner Bonding and Do I Have To Give Up Me To Be Loved By You?
Frequency reveals the simplicity that underlies apparent chaos. In detailing and giving examples of
how to get in touch with the souls purpose, action, and connection to others, Penney Peirce brings us
the gift of how to live in alignment with the magnificence of who we truly are. This contribution rises
as seminal in the transformation process of every person.
Joan C. King, PhD, neuroscientist, professor Emerita Tufts University School of Medicine,
and author of Cellular Wisdom: Decoding the Body's Secret Language
A lot has been said about frequency and raising vibration in general, but this book is a well thought
out and specific road map to the new realms of consciousness that we are all entering.

Raising Your Thought Vibration

Is Actually Pretty Easy

MeasuringThought Vibration is a method new-age folk use to

determine whether a thought you are thinking is empowering or
disempowering. If you practice thinking thoughts that have a
higher vibration, you tend to get more of what you want in life
and you feel better about yourself too.

Essentially, thoughts that vibrate at a higher level are likely to be strong, positive and healthy
thoughts, whereas thoughts that vibrate at a low level are liable to be negative, harmful and
disempowering.
The argument is what you think about most you manifest in your life so if youre operating from a
higher frequency, you are more likely to attract the life you desire. Youre also likely to be happier,
more pleasant to be around, and in a better state of mind.
This article will explain a bit about high and low levels of thought vibration, explain the benefits of
vibrating at a higher frequency, and show you how to turn low frequency thoughts into high frequency
thoughts.

High and Low Levels of Thought Vibration

Now, unless youre a spiritual hippy, its likely that the very term thought vibration may offend or
bemuse you somewhat. It does sound a little bit fancy-dan, after all, and Im pretty sure youve never
come across a thought-vibration-measuring machine on your travels. As such, its probably pretty
easy to hit the back button on your browser and to resign the idea of thought vibration to the hippy
bin.
But if you stop a second and take a look at your own thought patterns, you may realise that you
instinctively understand the concept of thought vibration, at least at an unconscious level. Simply put,
the argument is that all thoughts are energy, and good thoughts vibrate differently to bad
thoughts. This seems to make sense if you compare what being in a good mood feels like
compared to being in a bad mood.
The way I see it, when you are operating at a higher level of thought vibration, it simply means your
thinking is clear, positive and focussed. You are likely to be in a relaxed state, and be more focussed
on opportunities than you are on problems. When your thinking is like this, your whole body feels
good, and emotions like excitement, anticipation and happiness are the norm.
When you are in this state of mind, you may find that people (and even animals!) tend to respond well
to you, you wont tend to encounter many issues or problems, and you may even stumble upon a bit
of good luck that you wouldnt normally expect. When operating from a higher level of thought
vibration, people may subconsciously pick up on the fact that you are giving out good vibes. Thats
all higher thought vibration is good vibes.
Conversely, when you are operating at a lower frequency of thought vibration, youre giving out bad
vibes youre feeling sorry for yourself, going over things that have already happened, feeling
miserable and depressed, and emotions like anger, fear and discontent are the norm. People will
subconsciously avoid you, or will be drawn into conflict with you. This is not a nice way to live but
many people do live like this for a majority of their existence.

Benefits of a High Level of Thought Vibration

Operating at a higher level of thought vibration is liberating, no

matter how briefly you do it. Not only do you feel happier and
more positive about life, but you are much less likely to be
judgemental about other people, or to engage in worthless
negative activities like gossiping and moaning.
You experience a strange sense of energy, which draws you to
other people. In fact, youre much more likely to want to spend
time with friends and colleagues, and youll probably find
yourself meeting new and interesting people too.
When vibrating at a higher level or giving out good vibes, if
you prefer youll smile more, laugh more and not take yourself
so seriously. You are happy with the present moment as it is,
and you wont waste time and energy wishing you was doing
something else.
Youll be more motivated to achieve your goals, more positive
about achieving them, and just generally happy and joyous and
enjoying the wonder that is life. Good vibes are definitely the way to go!

How to Vibrate at a Higher Level

One of the major objectives of anyone interested in personal development is to learn how to
constantly emit higher levels of thought vibration although you may have been calling it something
else; happiness, peace of mind, or an abundance consciousness for example.
Now Ill show you several techniques Ive used to get my thinking back on track when Ive fallen into
low frequency thought patterns i.e. depression, sadness, negativity, anger and apathy. Find out
what works for you - and keep doing it.
Thinking regularly at a higher level of frequency is rarely an overnight change instead, it
is a case of gradual improvement. Try to notice when you feel blue, and address it by trying
some of these ideas to pick yourself up.
Luckily, the more you do this, the more happiness and higher levels of thought vibration will be your
natural states of being. All you have to do is choose to operate at a higher level in fact, even
thinking about thinking at the higher level tends to get you there a nice little coincidence!
Heres how to do it:

1. Visualisation
Visualisation is the fastest way to operate at a higher level of thought vibration.
To visualise, simply relax, shut your eyes, and see yourself acting as happy, positive and friendly as
you can imagine. Notice how you feel and what you can see, hear and smell. Notice what sort of

thoughts you are thinking. See how people respond to you when you feel like this. Realise how good it
makes you feel. Enjoy feeling like this!
If you did this for a few minutes every day for three weeks, your self-image and thought patterns
would change dramatically. Ive written many articles about Creative Visualisation, which are well
worth a read if you want to learn how to visualise properly and start to get some frankly amazing
results.

2. Meditation
Meditation helps you the step out of the ever-so-frantic pace of modern life, and take time for quiet
reflection, peace of mind and relaxation. Naturally, this also helps you to raise your level of vibration.
If youre not convinced, Id take a look at the Benefits of Meditation. Honestly, it will be the best
hobby you ever pick up.

3. NLP
NLP is packed full of tools to help you feel better about yourself and can help you to increase your
thought vibration accordingly.
Try Anchoring or a Swish Pattern and see how they impact your thinking. Both of these techniques can
have a dramatic impact on your thought vibrations today. They are pretty fun to play with as well!

4. Acceptance and Presence

A more spiritual and powerful way of increasing your thought vibration is to practice being present in
the moment, and to learn to accept whatever comes across your path, without reacting negatively to
it. If you can get the hang of this, it is far more powerful and transformative than the other options.
If this sounds like you, try reading Acceptance and Being Present.

5. Gratitude
Gratitude is my final advice for raising your level of thought frequency. Being grateful for what you
already have in your life is a powerful practice, and will have a brilliant effect on your thought
vibration.
Simply taking a few minutes to say thank you for all your family, friends, circumstances and
achievements is a quick-fire way to feel brilliant about yourself and your life, and thus transform your
thinking into a positive and happy state. Shut your eyes, imagine all thats good in your life, and really
feel the feelings of thanks. Youll be amazed at how win win this simple (but massively overlooked)
technique is!

Thats it for now. I hope just by reading this you glimpsed the state of mind of higher frequency
thoughts, which should leave you feeling positive, happy and slightly energised. Take these thoughts
with you during your day, and youll pass them on to everyone you come across. They will thank you
for it, and youll feel better yourself too... the ultimate win / win!

The Cure is? A Movie Review

What you hold in your beliefs becomes the overriding, determining factor in your
health. Bob Proctor
Bruce Lipton, PhD in developmental cell biology and previous Stanford Scholar,
explains in The Cure Is? that we are not, as has been taught, actually beholden to
our genetic code. What matters far more than the genes we were born with is the
environmental signals without which no gene can be switched on or off. And
even more important than these signals, are our perceptions of the signalsor, more
simply put, our perceptions of our environment. The interesting thing, and what this
film proposeslike others before itis that our perceptions are under our complete
control.
Less than five percent of disease is caused by genetic factors, Lipton argues. When we
talk about breast cancer or obesity being genetic, we only have to look so far back into
our family records to see these are in truth relatively new diseases. Our great-great
grandparents likely did not have them. They are diseases of lifestyle, and of thinking.
That our perceptions are under our control and are so very important to our life and
health isnt a new idea. More than 2,500 years ago Guatama Buddha is believed to
have said, To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to ones family, to bring
peace to all, one must first discipline ones mind. The mind can bring us health and
happiness it would seem, or it can bring us their opposites; the choice is ours.
This is nowhere more poignantly expressed in The Cure Is? than early on when we
meet a man who had been diagnosed with lymphoma and stage one lung cancer and
given less than a year to live. He explains, I feel in looking back at my life that I got
myself into a certain situation where I felt so overwhelmed, and so trapped in a way,
emotionally, that I created a way to leave.
Can the mind send the body the message that we no longer wish to live? And can the
body then follow the minds direction?
Liptons explanations of gene science and the insights of this man tell us a lot about
what The Cure Is and the power inherent in individuals in overcoming not only
health crises, but emotional and psychic ones as well. As Bob Proctor, 50 year veteran
of the human potential movement, says early in his film, What you hold in your
beliefs becomes the overriding, determining factor in your health.

Marianne Williamson, Bernie Siegel, Deanna Latson, Gregg Bradenjust some of the other
voices coming together to lend their credibility to Proctors project. Years of work in science and
spirituality, and a gathering of experience and hope merge in an effort to reach more minds,
inspire more voices.

Still, credible voices, beautiful imagery, and ancient teachings retold as new arent
everything. At one point Proctor states, The bodys just an instrument of the mind;
its like a dumb terminal Yet there are an estimated one billion neurons in the
human spinal cord and at least one hundred million neurons in the lining of the
digestive system, called the second brain. Lipton would call Proctors thinking on
this matter a result of the old Newtonian materialism, and while it may seem a small
thing, not recognizing our bodys intelligence is a large part of the reason humans
refuse to recognize the indwelling wisdom of other races, of animals, of their own
planet. There are other places the filmmakers science could be more finely attuned.
Perhaps the more important critique, and one which should come from inside the
human consciousness paradigm, is that nowhere in the film do its authors or speakers
mention how these principles work in a place such as the Mumbai slumswhere
poverty, disease, and oppression reign. Not to recognize that by virtue of our relative
privilege, we are able to attend to needs higher on Maslows hierarchy (choose any
other model you like), is to dismiss the absurdity implied when too many white first
world faces discuss how positive thinking cures disease. It is not all that cures disease.
And we must address this.
While it is not small, this oversight is also not new. Still, the message of the film
successfully comes through, and its intention is good. And as we know, intention is
nearly everything.

While I wont tell you what the cure is, I will give you a hint: you have everything
you need for the job already.

Do you ever use the sayings to be on the same wavelength and to give off good or bad vibes? I do and
never really thought anything of it until I reached the second chapter of William Walker Atkinsons
book The Law of Attraction in the Thought World. He rationalises these sayings and I am going to
explain how right here, right now.
Atkinson likens thoughts to sound waves. They emanate from the thinker at different frequencies or
pitches and lessen in intensity with distance. So as we go about our business we are drifting through a
sea of everybodys thought waves. Just as we can hear sound waves through receptors in our ears, we
can also receive the thoughts of others but only if those thoughts have a similar frequency to our own. A
great analogy is the radio. You will only hear the station that corresponds to the wavelengths you are
tuned into.
Tune into awesome fm

We are what we think ourselves to be, combined with the thoughts from others that we are attuned to.
Have you noticed that if you feel down then think negatively you feel even worse . It becomes difficult to
snap out of it because you are now tuned into low frequency negative thoughts. Whereas when you feel
awesome, it is easy to continue that euphoric feeling because you are now attuned to other positive
thoughts. Also by raising your mental state, you effectively shut out negative thoughts and prevent them
from bringing you down.
We attract others, who are on a similar wavelength. Atkinson states that when we first meet someone
there is a silent mental conflict as we subconsciously assess each others mental state. Interestingly he
believed that if two people are too similar in state of mind they actually repel each other, like two similarly
charged magnets.
Good vibes make more good vibes so go start some!

When you feel uplifted being around someone, it means that they are vibrating at high frequency. These
people tend to be leaders. Whereas some people really bring you down and can be very draining (admit it
you all know someone like that!) these people are vibrating at low frequency and would rather be led than
lead.
You may notice that you are more positive to some people than to others. This proves that we are in
control of our mental state. The ability to raise the pitch of our mind lies in the will. We drop down to a
low note through carelessness or weak will. The advantages of vibrating at a higher frequency are
obvious. To maintain it we have to train our will power through practice. Shawn Achor gives 5 great ways
to achieve a positive attitude in his TED talk The Happy Secret To Better Work.
It is unrealistic and incredibly draining to maintain the highest of high frequencies at all times. A better
idea is to keep yourself at a comfortable frequency but be able to raise that pitch to awesome when
needed.
As part of the thought vibration experiment I plan to be very aware of my frequencies this week (Im
sounding very New Age). If I ever catch myself in a low mood I will try to raise myself right back up. I will
also try to emit positive vibes to everyone, the last thing I want to do is diminish anyones frequency! Want
to try it with me? Id love to here how it works out for you.

HOW OUR THOUGHTS AFFECT OUR VIBRATION

Would you rather listen to this Article?

Everything is energy. Everything we can see, hear, touch, taste and smell is made of different
wavelengths vibrating at different frequencies. Our brain is like a translator that has the ability to
interpret these frequencies into what we perceive to be our physical reality. So we interpret an
energy cluster as a chair, or a tree, or another person. We perceive them as physical or solid, but
break them down to their smallest particles and they're all just energy. There are non-physical
energies as well, of course. Our thoughts, for example, are just different vibrations.
Every time you think a thought, you send out that thought's specific vibration. If a thought makes you
feel good, if it's a "positive" thought, it is vibrating at a higher frequency. If a thought makes you feel
bad, if it's a "negative" thought, it's vibrating at a lower frequency. So, "I hate you" has a much lower
frequency than "I love you", for example.
The more focus you give to a thought, the more thoughts of the same vibration will join it. This is the
Law of Attraction in action - like attracts like. As the vibration grows, it becomes stronger, more
stable, more able to attract other, equal frequencies. The more attention you pay to a subject, the
easier it becomes to think about it, and the more evidence you see in your world supporting your
thoughts about it. If you think the world is a terrible place and spend a lot of time watching negative
news, looking for horrible and sad stories in the paper and spending hours talking to others about
how the world is going downhill, more stories supporting this world view will literally find you.
Whenever you meet someone who thinks the world is a wonderful place, they're probably going to
annoy you - the energy of their thoughts is completely foreign to you.
The thoughts you think form a collective vibration. Some of your thoughts are more negative and
some are more positive, but the majority of your thoughts are going to be in pretty much the same
range. If you think predominantly positive thoughts, your overall vibration is going to be higher than if
you think predominantly negative thoughts. And this collective vibration will affect what thoughts or
vibrations you have access to. If you are a predominantly negative person, you'll have a very hard
time thinking a cheery, sunshiny, happy puppy thought. It's not impossible, but it's very difficult.
So, are we then merely a collection of our thoughts? Not really, no. Who we are is pure, positive
energy. Our natural state is one of high vibration. So, if you have no thoughts, as in the state of
meditation, you will naturally return to that high frequency. Any thought which deviates from this high
vibration, however, will have the effect of bringing your overall vibration down.

The thing to remember, though, is that we have the ability to deliberately choose which thoughts to
think. We do not have to be at the mercy of our thoughts, letting them determine our collective
vibrations. We can change our energies at any time.
There are many ways to raise your vibration, and you can work your way up the emotional
scale one "issue" at a time. But the most important thing to remember is that you have the power to
choose your thoughts and therefore you have the power to change your vibration and how you feel.
Make a commitment to yourself today that you will no longer put up with not feeling good, not being
who you really are. Reclaim your power and deliberately choose to feel the way you were always
meant to. Because, you are supposed to feel good. It's your natural state. All you have to do is allow
yourself to return to it.

Can Our Brain Waves Affect Our

Physical Reality?
So, what is thought and how does it connect up with quantum mechanics?
Your brain is comprised of a tight network of nerve cells, all interacting with one another
and generating an overall electrical field. This electric field is detectable with standard
medical equipment. Your brain waves are simply the superposition of the multitude of
electrical states being formed by your nervous system.
Not only your brain, but your entire body has an electric field. Anywhere there's a nerve cell,
there's electricity. It's just concentrated the greatest around your head because that's where
the bulk of your nerve cells are. Any time you've felt the shock of static electricity, or used a
touch-sensitive screen, you've proven that you have an electric field.
So, nothing mysterious about that part.
Being an electric field, all those overlying electric wave patterns that comprise your brain
waves are governed by the same equations governing the electromagnetic spectrum, light,
particles and everything else in the universe. The light seen coming from a star and the
energy of your mind are one and the same type.
Your thoughts are formed in this electric field. The measurable perturbations and
disturbances in the brain's overall electric field are your actual thoughts racing through your
mind. As you read this article, the thoughts you are thinking of, the words your mind is
processing, are all electrical impulses that can be measured if you had a few wires hooked up
between your head and a machine. So thoughts are energy, the same as everything else.
That means they are governed by the rules of quantum mechanics and Schrdinger's wave
equations as well. All those same weird things about quantum mechanics that describe how
an electron or photon behave, apply to you and your thoughts as well. The particle-wave
duality, the uncertainty principle, and of course, entanglement.
This implies that, like any other set of particles or source of energy, we are entangled with
everything we've ever encountered, the environment around us and the rest of the universe
through the zero point field. We'd mentioned that consciousness is the key to making the
mysteries of quantum mechanics work in past articles -- well, this is how it happens.
The one difference between us and a photon is that we can think, we are conscious. As such,
we can choose which of the possibilities before us to collapse our wave function into. But
more than that, since we are entangled with our environment we can thus affect that as well
and influence the randomness, just as it can influence us.

Since we are conscious, we can choose what part of the randomness around us to be affected
by, and how we in turn would like to affect it. It is through the property of entanglement
that we can affect change in our environment. Our minds are transceivers, able to receive
and send signals into the "quantum soup" of the zero point field by way of the highly
coherent frequencies of our thoughts.
The higher the frequency of our thought/brain wave, the higher our consciousness. The level
of our consciousness is what makes our reality what it is and what it will continue to be. If
you are seeking change, set an intention, declare a path (align your behaviors with your
desire), then detach and allow the universe to handle the details.

What Frequencies Are Your Words,

thoughts, Actions At!
Submitted by lynmarie8 on Tue, 12/03/2013 - 07:14
What Frequencies Are Your Words, thoughts, Actions At!
The basic premise of the Law of Attraction is that like energy attracts
like energy. You attract to yourself those things and circumstances
that are in vibrational harmony with your dominant frequency, which is
itself determined by your dominant mental attitude, habitual thoughts
and beliefs. If you want to know what a thought looks like, just look
around you. Keep in mind these three words "thoughts are things".
These thoughts are things that are created into the material form
instantaneously- These are your words, thoughts and actions. What
are you creating?
Not All Thoughts Are Created Equal: The attractive power of any
particular thought is determined by how often you have that thought
and by the strength of the feelings or emotions associated with it. The
more energy you give to a particular thought, the greater its power to
attract its corresponding circumstance into your physical world
through the Law of Attraction. Your one-off, passing thoughts do not

have the same creative power as your habitual thoughts and beliefs.
Remember, that it is of little use to entertain positive thoughts for just
a short burst of time each day if you then proceed to think negative or
unwanted thoughts for the rest of the day. A negative thought cancels
the benefit of a positive thought and vice versa. Since your reality is
the sum total of all your thoughts there are many factors influencing
your life. This makes it difficult to directly join the dots between the
cause (thought) and the effect (circumstance) but the causation is
always there. Negative thoughts such as anger, resentments, hatred,
jealously carry a frequency of under 75, and Love is a Frequency of
700. What frequency are you send out of your body, is what you will
attract back. This is when you need to choose what you are creating to
attract and receive in your life every day, you are and have free will to
create your reality.
Use Thought Power to Change Your Life: It is your subconscious mind
that is the storehouse of your deep-seated beliefs and programs. To
change your circumstances and attract to yourself that which you
choose, you must learn to program and re-program your subconscious
mind. The most effective and practical way to do so, is to learn the
simply to stop yourself when you start doing this and say I AM
uncrating what I just said - cut, cancel and delete those thoughts,
words and actions and all its effects. It is your thought power of your
words, thoughts and actions, that are to co-create with the Creator of
all that is into manifest into your physical reality.
Become Aware of Your Thoughts But Not Obsessed: It is important that
you learn to be aware of your habitual thoughts and to appropriately
adjust them so as to maintain an overall positive mental attitude.
However, be careful not to become obsessed with every thought that
enters your mind as this would be equally counter-productive, if not
more so, than not being aware of them at all. Remember that to

obsess over your negative, unwanted thoughts, is to give them power

and as the saying goes, what you resist persists. So instead of resisting
any of your negative thoughts, simply learn to effortlessly cancel them
by replacing them as they arise.
Instantly Replace Unwanted Thoughts: To instantly neutralize the
power of a negative thought, calmly and deliberately replace it with its
opposite, positive equivalent. For instance, if you think to yourself "I'm
not good enough, I will never succeed", mentally replace that thought
with "I am good enough and success comes to me easily". You can also
use the "cancel, cancel" with the I AM- Presences, or Theta Healing
Method.
Each time you catch yourself thinking an unwanted thought, mentally
tell yourself and the Universe "cancel, cancel" and immediately follow it
up with a positive statement.
Example:
Release: I Command my I AM Presence, I AM done Learning and
Experiencing this (subject, thoughts, situation), I AM releasing all
Karmic Debit, contracts to this while retaining all lessons and
experiences. I AM sending 100% unconditional Love, forgiveness, and
gratitude for all lesson learned including myself and I Am worthy of
this now. Thank you it is done.

Bring In New: I Command my I AM Presence, I AM Choosing to think

only in Positive Thought forms of my conscious, subconscious,
unconscious mind including , all words, all actions and that their all of
the sound, frequency and tone, color of Love. I AM of That, I AM. I AM
choosing to feel and experience this now. Thank you it is done.
Master Saint Germain gave this information for you to use.

I AM 'Let the Creator be in action completely, absolutely and

appropriately through me and all involved in this situation (you may
name the situation if you wish) to result in the experience of harmony,
divine healing and attunement with the Creator externally within all
and within the consciousness of the Earth.'
'Let the Creator be in action to bring forth love, healing, truth and
bliss.'
Remember that you are not offering yourself as an example of the
Creator but are allowing the Creator to work through you, in order for
this to occur there is a need to be aware of and follow your divine
intuition. There are many ways in which you can bring healing to the
Earth, help create the Era of Love upon the Earth or even alter the
world you exist within but if we were to share practices they wouldn't
be as powerful as holding the intention and asking for the Creator to
be in action in order to bring forth healing, love, enlightenment, bliss
and harmony. Remember that every time you focus upon the light and
bring the Creator through your being in whichever way you choose you
are supporting a rise in consciousness and vibration within the Earth's
frequency and all that are present.
You may use this invocation for releasing things for yourself any
situation just says the words out loud- It is very powerful. Watch what
happens in your life.
If you are unable to change these things on a deeper level you should
come in and have a session so we can change your programs of your
words, thoughts and actions and give you new ones.

5 Tips To Increase Your Energetic Vibrational

Frequency

The quantum physicists have proven it: We are not just this physical body. Our presence doesn't end at
our skin line. We have an energy field around us.

This energetic aura connects us to other living beings and the universe around us. We are all interconnected.
Each one of us has a unique aura, and we are part of the same divine brilliance that created the infinite cosmos.

When we are in touch with this feeling of being a part of the divine, our true essence being love, then our
energy vibrates at a high frequency. Our positive thoughts and feelings and healthy practices support a bright
energy field.

On the other hand, if we live in a state of fear, negativity, and separation, and fill our body with unhealthy
substances (low-vibrational food, alcohol, and drugs), then our energy field becomes blocked, clouded, and
dark.

Our energy is a magnet. It attracts experiences in the world to match our energetic field. Because we create our
energy with how we treat ourselves inside and out, we are responsible for our energy and our life experiences.
Life doesn't happen to us. Rather, our outer experience reflects our inner state.

Here are some of the ways you can take responsibility for your energy:

1. Focus on your breath.

This practice takes us right into our body, calms our nervous system, and shifts our energetic presence.

2. Take time to slow down.

Most of us are so busy filling our lives with unending tasks. Put SLOW DOWN on your to-do list and trust
that's its a very important task.

3. Process and consciously feel your feelings.

Many of us learned to stuff our feelings down, especially if they are negative or unspiritual. Actually, the
spiritual practice is to feel all of our feelings. The sooner you feel and process the feeling, the sooner and easier
it will release. Being human is the doorway to the divine.
4. Repeat a mantra like, I am divine love."

Mantras help to retrain your mind away from conditioned beliefs. They help us return to our true essence, as
mantras carry a vibrational frequency that permeates throughout the body.

5. Cultivate compassion.

Your energy is something you put out into the world. It either uplifts or drains others. When you notice this
interconnection, how we affect one another, we start to take more responsibility for the energy we radiate.

By engaging in daily practices like mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and healthy eating we shift our energy. We
begin to operate at a high-vibrational frequency, the frequency of love, and that's when we are a magnet for
more positive relationships and experiences.

When our energetic aura shifts, our consciousness expands, our nervous system neutralizes, and we begin to
fully realize and experience a spiritual awakening... the recognition of our divine essence. Things become
possible that weren't before. A miraculous life unfolds in front of us.

I'm hosting a free tele-seminar on spiritual energy and unleashing your divine brilliance on Monday, March 4.

Why do some people have all the luck?

Ever noticed how some uncannily lucky people can almost effortlessly attract good things
into their lives? At work, they get all the opportunities. They lead social movements in their
communities. Theyre spiritual, yet also have a healthy
relationship with money. Their relationships are consistently blissful, and theyre always in
the pink of health.

But if youre like most people, life is a mixture of good days and bad days. You may not be
poor or sick, but you worry about your money and health a little more often than youd like.
You long for the time and freedom to live life on your own terms. You wish you were better
at manifesting your goals.
And so youve probably wondered to yourself on more than a few occasions, what does it
take to be one of those lucky people?
The answer lies in a fascinating phenomenon known as your personal energetic frequency

An invisible force that shapes your life experience.

The idea that energy or vibrations can influence a persons reality is nothing new.
Throughout history, different cultures have benefitted by tapping into and working with
different forms of energy. For thousands of years, the Chinese have practiced Qi Gong and
Tai Chi to get their energy moving for health and relaxation.

In India, people have sought after Kundalini energy and awakened it for self-awareness, a
deeper
understanding of consciousness and the Universe, and pure joy, knowledge, and love.
In Japan, Reiki has healed countless people simply by working with their personal energy
fields.
But in recent years, breakthrough scientific studies have taken this belief one step further,
by
discovering that every person on the planet possesses what is known as a personal
energetic frequencya form of energy that dictates what kind of circumstances and events
we will attract into our lives.

CHRISTIE MARIE SHELDON

Founder of Love or Above
Christie Sheldon is an Intuitive Healer and Medium. She connects to the Infinite realm to
shift, change, and transform peoples lives. She has worked with over 20,000 Clients
and demonstrates these talents on the Radio and in Seminars.

Where do you fall on the Vibrations Scale?

Just like how seismographs are used to measure earthquakes, recent breakthroughs have
allowed researchers to measure a persons energetic frequency on
a specific Vibrations Scale.
How does the scale work? Well imagine you have a scale of 1 to 1,000, with 1,000
being the highest state a human being can attain. If you reach this level you would
be an Enlightened Master. At the lowest end of the spectrum is someone who
is not thriving at all.
Researchers use muscle testing and kinesiology to determine where people are
on this scale. As you can see, heavy emotions like sadness, guilt or humiliation
vibrate at low frequencies, while feelings like love, bliss and enlightenment
vibrate at high, uplifting frequencies.

What happens at 500 and above?

Right now, the average level of energy on Earth is around 207 and this is because
throughout our lives, we accumulate hidden energy blockages and negative conditioning
that holds us back from higher vibrations.
The level we should aim for, however, is 500 and above. 500 is the vibration of love. When
you vibrate at this level life becomes drastically different. Love, joy, and abundance are
suddenly within your grasp. Pain, stress, and struggle seem to melt away and you become
a magnet for what you truly desire.
But heres where things get even better. Studies have shown that your energy doesnt just
affect you, but those around you too. Just Google research articles on subjects like the
Maharishi affect or distance healing.
Scientists have discovered your energy doesnt just affect you. It affects those around you
too. Just google research articles on the power of positive thinking or distance healing.
The conclusion? Everyone looking for a happier, more successful and more enlightened life
should aim to overcome their energy blockages, and raise their energetic frequency to a
level of Love or Abovea theory that many other reputable scientists have since come to
support.

The human minds best kept secret.

Dr. William Brauds discovery.
At the Mind Science Foundation in San Antonio, Dr. William Braud found that his test
subjects could slow down the death rate of red blood cells with the sheer power of their
thoughts. The implications were staggering, proving that its possible to use your mind to
influence your body and the things around you.

Dr. Emotos water experiment.

Dr. Masaru Emoto projected different types of thoughts onto glasses of water, froze them,
and examined the resulting water
crystals under a microscope. What he found was that water crystals infused with higher
vibrational thoughts like love or joy formed beautiful patters, while those with negative
thoughts like hate or anger were rough, opaque and in a state of chaos. Now think about
this: since 75 percent of your body is water, how could your thoughts be influencing it?

A proven method for raising your personal

vibrations.

Christie Marie Sheldon is an Intuitive Healer and Medium who specializes in raising
peoples personal vibrations to a level of Love or Above. Her gift is being able to look at a
person and instantly detect blockages in their energetic wellbeing, which could be the result
of negative programming or past experiences.

Christie removes these blockages through a variety of mental and spiritual exercises known
as energetic tools. Theyre powerful, enjoyable, and so easy to use that they can even be
practiced from the comfort of your home.
In the past 15 years, over 20,000 people have sought Christies help. In this time shes
noticed that raising personal vibrations often leads to a direct shift in ones life
circumstances. Many of her clients have reported experiencing:

Webster's Dictionary defines infrasonic, or infrasound, as "1: having or relating to a

frequency below the audibility range of the human ear. 2: utilizing or produced by
infrasonic waves or vibrations."
Infrasound is especially dangerous, due to its strong vibrations, or oscillations.
Infrasound waves hug the ground, travel for long distances without losing strength,
and are unstoppable. Not much amplitude is needed to produce negative effects in the
human body, and even mild infrasound exposure requires several hours, or even days,
to reverse symptoms.
Natural and man-made infrasound occurs in our world, but thankfully, extreme
manifestations and contact with humans are infrequent.

Natural explosions from volcanoes produce infrasonic waves.

When Krakatoa exploded, lifting an entire island 100 miles into
the air, windows were shattered 1,000 miles away from ground
zero. The shock waves, affecting both earth and atmosphere,
continued for hours.
Explosives, such as atomic weapons,
produce infrasound. Zone one is ground zero
and its destruction. Zone 2 is a powerful,
speeding, sonic wave of reduced air pressure.
This concussion blast travels at great
distances away from ground zero and few
survive its destructive path.

Waves of infrasound are invisible, but slam into living tissue and physical
structures with great force.

The sensation vibrates internal organs and buildings, flattening objects as the
sonic wave strikes.
At certain pitches, it can explode matter.
Certain animals use infrasound. Elephants use it to communicate at distances of up to
10 miles (12 - 35 Hz.).
Infrasound is so powerful that it can be used as a weapon. John Cody, in his article,
'Infrasound,' writes about sea life:

"It has been known that certain whiles are able to stun their prey with powerful blasts
of inaudible sounds. Called 'gunshots,' whales focus these powerful blasts at large
squid and other fish to paralyze and catch them. In some instances, they have been
known to burst their prey apart by tonal projection alone."
Distress calls from small, beached whales pushed a veterinarian back several feet in the
water.

Other sources of infrasound include earthquakes, pounding surf, waterfalls, calving of

glacial ice, tidal waves, aurora borealis (0.1 - 0.01 Hz), solar flares, solar winds,
hurricanes, thunderstorms, the jet stream (30-40Hz),
winds in caverns (20-30 Hz.), etc.
Man-made structures, such as engines, cars, buses, trains, motorcycles, and airplanes
also produce infrasound. John Cody also noted that pilots exposed to infrasonic
vibrations of jet chassis experience a reduction in "vision, speech, intelligence,
orientation, equilibrium, ability to accurately discern situations, and make reasonable
decisions."
Infrasonic vibrations, though harmful, can be pleasantly stimulating in mild levels.
The effects of brief, mild exposure can give a feeling of invigoration for hours. While
a person may FEEL invigorated and euphoric, his body is being subjected to an
elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, a release of endorphins, and the "fight or

flight" adrenaline response. Feeling the effects of high-intensity/low-frequency sound

can actually become an addiction, partially due to the release of endorphins in the
body.
Depending on the pitch, infrasound can cause physical pressure, fear, disorientation,
negative physical and mental symptoms, explode matter, incapacitate, and kill. For
example, in World War II, Nazi propaganda engineers used infrasound to stir up anger
in the large crowds that had gathered to hear Hitler. The result was a nation filled with
anger and hatred.
Studies show the different ways in which infrasound affects the human body. As
infrasound pitches, or cycles per second, decrease, deadly effects on the body
increase. Infrasound disrupts the normal functioning of the middle and inner ear,
leading to nausea, imbalance, impaired equilibrium, immobilization, and
disorientation. Exposure to even mild doses of infrasound can lead to illness.
Increased intensities of infrasound can result in death.
These are a few examples of low frequency (below 500 Hz) and infrasound (below 20
Hz.) levels and their effects:
12 Cycles Per Second (Hz) - Walt Disney and his artists
accidentally experienced infrasound on one occasion. A cartoon
sound effect was slowed from 60 cycles per second to 12 cycles per
second via a tape-editing machine and was amplified through the
theater system. The resulting tone, though brief in duration,
produced in the entire crowd nausea that lingered for several days.
100 Cycles Per Second (Hz) - At this level, a
person experiences irritation, "mild nausea,
giddiness, skin flushing, and body tingling."
Following this, a person undergoes "vertigo,
anxiety, extreme fatigue, throat pressure, and
respiratory dysfunction." (source; the Sonic
Weapon of Vladimir Gavreau, by Gerry
Vassilatos)

60 - 73 Cycles Per Second (Hz) - "coughing, severe sternal

pressure, choking, excessive salivation, extreme swallowing pains,
inability to breathe, headache, and abdominal pain" were present. In
the post exposure phase, test subjects continued to cough, exhibit
fatigue, and have skin flushing for up to four hours. (Source - THE
SONIC WEAPON OF VLADIMIR GAVREAU, by Gerry
Vassilatos)
WALL CURRENT - In the United States,
wall current is 60 cycles per second (Hz). In
Europe, the wall current is 50 cycles per
second. Since European current has a lower
cycle, an observer can actually see light bulbs
slightly flicker.
43 - 73 Cycles Per Second (Hz) - lack of visual acuity, IQ scores
fall to 77% of normal, distortion of spatial orientation, poor
muscular coordination, loss of equilibrium, slurred speech, and
blackout.
1 - 10 Cycles Per Second (Hz) - "Lethal
infrasonic pitch lies in the 7 cycle range.
Small amplitude increases affect human
behavior in this range. Intellectual activity is
first inhibited, blocked, and then destroyed.
As the amplitude is increased, several
disconcerting responses have been noted.
These responses begin a complete
neurological interference. The action of the
medulla is physiologically blocked, its
autonomic functions cease." (source; the
Sonic Weapon of Vladimir Gavreau, by Gerry
Vassilatos)
50 - 100 Cycles Per Second (Hz) - at 150 dB and higher,
"intolerable sensations in the chest and thoracic region can be
produced - even with the ears protected. Other physiological
changes that can occur include chest all vibration and some
respiratory rhythm changes in human subjects, together with
hypopharyngeal fullness (gagging). The frequency range between
50 and 100 Hz also produces mild nausea and giddiness at levels of
150 - 155 dB, at which point subjective tolerance is reached. At 150
to 155 dB (0.63 to 1.1 kPA), respiration-related effects include
substernal discomfort, coughing, severe substernal pressure,
choking respiration, and hypopharyngeal discomfort." (source;
'Acoustic Trauma: Bioeffects of Sound,' by Alex Davies)

7 Cycles Per Second (Hz) - The most

profound effects at this infrasonic level occur
here. Seven Hz "corresponds with the median
alpha-rhythm frequencies of the brain. It is
also commonly alleged that this is the
resonant frequency of the body's organs and
hence organ rupture and death can occur at
high-intensity exposures." (source; 'Acoustic
Trauma: Bioeffects of Sound,' by Alex
Davies)
Scientific Applications and Research Associates (SARA) - This
agency's alleged infrasound research showed, "infrasound at 110 130 dB would cause intestinal pain and severe nausea. Extreme
levels of annoyance or distraction would result from minutes of
exposure to levels 90 to 120 dB at low frequencies (5 to 200 Hz),
strong physical trauma and damage to tissues at 140 - 150 dB, and
instantaneous blastwave type trauma at above 170 dB. At low
frequencies, resonance's in the body would cause hemorrhage and
spasm/ in the mid-audio range (0.5 to 2.5 kHz), resonance's in the
air cavities of the body would cause nerve irritation, tissue trauma
and heating; high audio and ultrasound frequencies (5 to 30 kHz)
would cause heating up to lethal body temperatures, tissue burns,
and dehydration; and at high frequencies, or with short pulses,
bubbles would form from cavitation and micro-lesions in tissue
would evolve." (source; 'Acoustic Trauma: Bioeffects of Sound,' by
Alex Davies)
Infrasound Toxicological Summary,
November 2001 - "When male volunteers
were exposed to simulated industrial
infrasound of 5 and 10 Hz and levels of 100
and 135 dB for 15 minutes, feelings of
fatigue, apathy, and depression, pressure in
the ears, loss of concentration, drowsiness,
and vibration of internal organs were
reported. In addition, effects were found in
the central nervous system, the cardiovascular
system, and the respiratory system.
Synchronization phenomena were enhanced
in the left hemisphere. Visual motor responses
to stimuli were prolonged, and the strength of
the effect was reduced. Heart rate was
increased during the initial minutes of
exposure. Depression of the encephalic
hemodynamics with decreased venous flow
from the skull cavity was observed. Heart
muscle contraction strength was reduced.

Respiration rate was significantly reduced

after the first minute of exposure."
The U. S. Navy has an anti-submarine device called Low
Frequency Active (LFA) sonar. It emits 240 dB. Damage was
possibly done to whales and dolphins, causing them to beach.
Whales avoid areas with 120 dB or above. The Navy sets 140 dB as
the maximum level of safe exposure to humans.
Long pipe organs, such as those found in
churches and cathedrals produce infrasound.
In one UK study, the extreme bass
frequencies instilled strange feelings at a
concert hall. Effects were "extreme sense of
sorrow, coldness, anxiety, and even shivers
down the spine." (source; Organ Music
Instills Religious Feelings,' by Jonathan
Amos, 9/8/2003)

Some boom cars are equipped with a device known as a burp button. These devices
generate large amplitude pressure/low frequency noise. When the burp button is used,
it activates a low-band pass-filter which forces all of the amplifier's power through the
sub-woofer speakers at frequencies lower than a certain number of Hertz. At
extremely low frequencies, it becomes infrasound. Thus you FEEL the blast of noise,
as well as hear it.

A passenger in a boom car reported the following experience, October, 2000. The
boom car was driven by DJ Billy E. The passenger told of his experience as he was
subjected to the extreme bass (high-intensity/low-frequency sound) inside the vehicle.
The blasts of low-frequency sound at 150 dB caused the following effects:
"Eager to crank up the system, he hands me a set of earplugs. 'Let's hear some
burp.
' I stick the plugs in, and he hits the burp button, a red switch on the center console.
It's difficult to describe what happens next. The noise sounds like
'BRRRROONNNNNKKKK!' The vehicle vibrates like a jackhammer, but much
lower and deeper. I feel air blowing the back of my hair, and my body starts to rise
out of the seat. May pant legs are flapping. Everything in the car is rattling like
crazy, and I realize my vision is blurred as my face pulls back taut against my skull.

The only reaction left is to laugh out loud. I look over at Billy E gripping the
steering wheel, squinting and grinning maniacally. He lets up on the button, and
the chaos stops.
"'If you're drinking a Coke, your throat will shut.' I'm amazed I can actually hear
his voice. 'It's like being under water. Your ears don't ring they're just muted. After
a day, everything opens up again,' he says.
"He never uses plugs. He says high frequencies, not the lows, damage the EARS."
(capitals are mine). "Like most SPL competitors, his system is bottom-heavy,
consisting mostly of sub-woofers. My ears aren't ringing much at all. I felt the blast
much more in my body. To some degree, he's right about the damage. According to
OSHA findings on noise in the workplace, highs are much more dangerous than
lows. But it's also illegal to expose American employees to anything above 140
decibels. So we're still rebels after all."

The music industry is now producing CDs and sub-woofers capable of producing very
low frequencies and infrasound:
1.) Bass Mekanik: Sonic Overload - 2 CD set with a myriad of very low frequency
tracks. The lowest = 1 to 10 Hz. This CD is advertised with these words, via Parts
Express online: "The ultimate competition, showin' off your system and having a good
time doing it disc.. you might even blow something up!"
2.) CD #101, Low Frequency Test CD - contains tracks with 10 Hz, 11 Hz, 12 Hz, etc.
3.) Hollywood Sound Labs Excursion 158D - a sub-woofer that has below 20 Hz
handling capabilities. When tested, it produced 129.7 dB at 46 Hz with 1,000 watts of
power.
This was what was said about the sub-woofer, via Car Sound online: "However, in the
big picture, this woofer seems to be more about scaring small children and their
grandparents than the finer points of esoteric jazz and classical reproduction. It
definitely excels at playing music that's designed to shake your innards around. Heavy
boom or hip-hop tracks are just that - heavyTo sum it up, this is not the sub that
your neighbors would pick. They'd prefer that you just turn the page and stick with
those ratty OEM 5X7s, thank you very much. So we should all just follow their advice
(wink, wink) because I know that none of you guys out there would want to (nudge,
nudge) annoy anyone. OOOOWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

4.) Extreme SPL dB Drag Racing logo includes these words in the heading:
"Infrasound - Extreme Car Audio"
5.) Virtual Bass, by Bass 305 - tracks with 20 Hz and an "ultra boom experiment."

High-intensity/low-frequency sound and infrasound are powerful forces, and

governments have tested and used them as a weapon of war.
For example:
A.) "Acoustic Bullets. High power, very low frequency waves emitted from one to
two meter antenna dishes. Results in blunt object trauma from waves generated in
front of the target. Effects range from discomfort to death. A Russian device that can
propel a 10-herz sonic bullet the size of a baseball hundreds of yards is thought to
exist. Proposed fixed site defense. Also known as sonic bullets." (Source - Glossary of
Non-lethal weapons Terms, edited by Robert Bunker)
B.) "Acoustic, Infrasound. Very low-frequency sound, which can travel long distances
and easily penetrate most buildings and vehicles. Transmission of long wavelength
sound creates biophysical effects; nausea, loss of bowels, disorientation, vomiting,
potential internal organ damage or death may occur. Superior to ultrasound because it
is 'in band,' meaning that it does not lose its properties when it changes mediums such
as from air to tissue. By 1972, an infrasound generator had been built in France that
generated waves at 7 hertz. When activated, it made the people in range sick for
hours." (Source - Glossary of Non-lethal weapons Terms, edited by Robert Bunker)
C.) "And for thirty years already there have been experiments with infrasonic
radiation weapons, with at least two experimenters suffering severe injuries (the
Hungarian government reported that 'calculations have shown that the destruction of
human beings would require considerably less expenditure by infrasound weapons
than by any existing type of weapon of mass destruction.')" (Source - New
Armageddon Weapons)
D.) "Acoustics. Intense, high power sound energy (in the ultra, audible, or infrasound
ranges) that can cause disorientation, nausea, and extreme discomfort. May be
potentially lethal. Not yet a mature technology." (Source - Does Israel Have Nonlethal Options?, Updates from AIJAC)
E.) "For example, infrasound generators, designed initially for crowd control, emit
very low frequency sound waves that can be tuned to cause disorientation, nausea, and

loss of bowel control." (Source - LOOKING AT PEACE EDUCATION, by Roger

Walters
F.) "Today, the US Department of Defense is testing acoustic rifles that can stun and
even kill solders." (Source - Feel the Noise, by Jack Boulware)
G.) "During World War II, Nazi engineers prototyped a revolutionary sonic 'cannon,'
which fired a shock wave strong enough to bring down a plane." (Source - Feel the
Noise, by Jack Boulware)
H.) Amplified music, such as Metallica, Sesame Street, and Barney tunes were used
by the U.S. government in 2003 to break the will of Iraqi captives. The goal was sleep
deprivation and playing music culturally offensive to the listener. Amnesty
International objected to these tactics, saying it "may constitute torture - and coalition
forces could be in breach of the Geneva Convention." (Source - BBC News, Sesame

I.) "Recently, psycho-acoustic warfare was allegedly used in the Waco siege at the
Davidian compound in Texas, where it is said that the FBI used sounds of babies
crying, dentist drills, and a variety of other unpleasant sounds to mentally influence
their opponents. The Waco compound was allegedly bombarded for long durations by
these sounds via large public address systems. Although this type of sonic assault can
have a profound emotive effect on individuals, it relies heavily on the individual's
particular experiences." (Source - Acoustic Trauma: Bioeffects of Sound, by Alex
Davies)
J.) The Nazis, in WW II, used the same type of sound like boom car owners are using
today! Hitler conducted noise experiments on prisoners and actually tortured them
with high-intensity/low-frequency noise. In WW II, the Nazis didn't have the
technology of powerful amplifiers that we do today. So, they developed a weapon that
produced high intensity sound powered by "compressed air."
K.) Unbelievably, the U.S. armed forces are starting to produce their own boom cars!
They are trying to interest and recruit young males. One of these vehicles is a Humvee
called "Mountain Thunder," and is used by the West Virginia Army National Guard.
At least 10 states have ordered similar vehicles. The conversion of each Humvee is
about $25,000.00. Major Ron Garton commented on the Humvee and the current need
for them in the war against terrorism in Iraq, "We've got a severe shortage of
Humvees. We really needed to throw this one back into the inventory. They're a hot
item right now." Had it been shipped with its sound system intact, Major Garton
joked, "It could have had some psychological-operations possibilities." (Source - A

L.) Operation Just Cause was launched on 12/20/1989 by U.S. troops. It was against
Manuel Noriega in Panama. On 12/24/1989, Noriega had barricaded himself in the
Vatican Embassy in Panama City. To flush him out, U.S. troops bombarded the
Embassy building with "blaring rock and roll music (The Animals, Bobby Fuller,
Bruce Springsteen) around the clock for several days." Noriega was forced out by
January 4th. (Source - The Growley, May 2003, Essays by Michael Gilleland, Musical
Torture)
M.) The prison system uses loud, amplified music to lower the morale of prisoners
and prevent conversation by piping in "heavy metal or rap" from morning until night.
Even the guards have to "bellow to be heard." (source - Noise as a Metaphor for
Koyaanisqats!, by Maya Khankhoje)

Colours and their Sound and frequencies.

Following is a brief description of the different colours
and their Sound and frequencies.
Scriabin's theory was that each note in the octave could be associated with a specific
colour, and in Prometheus, the Poem of Fire, he wrote the colours and music to
match. His arrangement was:
C

Db

Eb

F#

Ab

Bb

Pale Dark Bright

Red Violet Yellow Steel

B
Pale

Orange Purple Green Steel

Blue Red Blue

Berlioz, Debussy and Wagner were also interested in music and colour and RimskyKorsakov considered C as white.
The Rosicrucian Order based their theories on Just intonation and suggest that note
names, frequencies, and colours should be:

Velocity=Wavelength x Frequency
This formula describes the relationship between wavelength and
frequency. Since the speed of light is known and fixed, reliable
numbers can be generated for the frequencies of the colors. For
example:
2.997925 x 10+8 m/s (speed of light)/ 3.95 x 10-7 nm (wavelength of
violet) = 7.58968354 x 10+1 4 Hz (frequency of violet)
Starting from the wavelengths arrived at above, as well as intervening
numbers for the tertiary colors, and calculating their frequencies in
this manner provides these results:

Discussion
red green blue

Color is a function of the human visual system, and is not an intrinsic

property. Objects don't "have" color, they give off light that "appears"
to be a color. Spectral power distributions exist in the physical world,
but color exists only in the mind of the beholder.
Color is determined first by frequency and then by how those
frequencies are combined or mixed when they reach they eye. This is
the physics part of the topic. Light falls on specialized receptor cells
(called rods) at the back of the eye (called the retina) and a signal is
sent to the brain along a neural pathway (called the optic nerve). This
signal is processed by the part of the brain near the back of the skull
(called the occipital lobe). Here's where the biology kicks in, or maybe
it's the psychology, or maybe it's both. They eye is very much like a
camera, but the brain is not like a video recorder. The brain is not like
a computer with fixed hardware of transistors and capacitors
executing some sort of software code. The neurons of the brain are
probably best thought of as wetware a fusion of hardware and
software or maybe something completely different. I don't feel
qualified to say much about that end of this process. Once the visual
information leaves the eye, basic physics ends and neurocognition
takes over.
Color is determined first by frequency. Let's start by determining what
a typical person would see when looking at electromagnetic radiation
of a single frequency. Physicists call this monochromaticlight. (The
literal meaning of this word is "single color", but the actual meaning is
"single frequency".) Low frequency radiation is invisible. With an
adequately bright source, starting somewhere around 400 THz
(1 THz = 1012 Hz) most humans begin to perceive a dull red. As the
frequency is increased, the perceived color gradually changes from
red to orange to yellow to green to blue to violet. The eye doesn't
perceive violet so well. It always seems to look dark compared to
other sources at equal intensity. Somewhere between 700 THz and
800 THz the world goes dark again.

How many colors are there in the spectrum above? How many did I
name?
red

orange

yellow

green

blue

violet

The simple named colors are mostly monosyllabic English words

red, green, brown, black, white, gray. Brevity indicates an Old English
(Anglo-Saxon) origin. Monosyllabic words are generally the oldest
words in the English language head, eye, nose, foot, cat, dog, cow,
eat, drink, man, wife, house, sleep, rain, snow, sword, sheath, God .
These words go back more than fifteen centuries. Yellow, purple, and
blue are exceptions to the one-syllable-equals-English rule. Yellow
and purple are Old English color words with two syllables. Blue is a
one syllable French word (bleu) that replaced a two syllable Old
English word (hwen) eight hundred years ago.
Some of the names for colors are loan words from French (many of
which are loan words from other languages). Since the (zh) sound
doesn't exist in Old English, orange and beige are obviously French.
(Garage is also a very French word.) The words violet and orange
were the names of plants (nouns) before they were the names of
colors (adjectives). Violet came from 14th Century French, which
came from Latin. Orange came from 16th Century French, which
came from Italian, which came from Arabic, which came from Persian,
which came from Sanskrit.
English arose when three Germanic tribes the Angles, The Saxons,
and the Jutes migrated from continental Europe to the British Isles
in the Fifth Century. The language they spoke is called Anglo-Saxon
or Old English. You would hardly recognize this language if you heard
it spoken or saw it written today. Danes probably have the best
chance of understanding spoken Old English, Icelanders the best
chance of understanding written Old English. Of the six named colors
in my spectrum, only four were known to the AngloSaxons: red, geolu, grne, hwen. Do you recognize any of them?
rad

geolu

grne

hwen

In the year 1066, an invasion of French speaking peoples the

Normans, the Bretons, and the French swept over the British Isles.
The last Anglo-Saxon King of England, King Harold II, was succeeded
by the first Norman king, William the Conqueror. The Normans had an
odd empire (if one could call it that) that included the British Isles,
northern France (appropriately named Normandy), southern Italy,
Sicily, Syria, Cyprus, and Libya. William was a Norman, descended
from Norsemen, but he spoke French not Swedish, Norwegian, or
Danish. One factor leading to the rise of the Normans in their
scattered empire is their ability to quickly integrate themselves into the
culture of the peoples they conquered. For purposes of this
discussion, we care about language. When the Normans got to
northern France, they started speaking French. When the Normans
got to England they got the Anglo-Saxons to start speaking French too
(sort of). In about a hundred years, Anglo-Saxon had mutated into
something closer to what we would recognize as English today.
Neither French nor Anglo-Saxon. Old English became Middle English.
This is when English acquired the words blue (which replaced hwen)
and violet (which never existed as an English color word before).

The next change in the English language was one of pronunciation

the Great Vowel Shift (13501700). This is when silent e and other
spelling rules that frustrate both native and second language speakers
arose. The notion of long and short vowels also changed. At one time
a long vowel was one that was pronounced for a longer time than a
short vowel. Take the words pan and pane. Before the Great Vowel
Shift, pan was pronounced "pan" and pane was pronounced
"paaaneh" with a literal looong vowel and a non-silent "eh" at the end.
Being mostly a change in pronunciation, the rise of Modern English
around 1550 doesn't affect our discussion of color words. Movable
type printing invented around 1445 in Germany is probably more
important. Books became relatively plentiful, spelling became
standardized, and tracking down the first occurrence of a word

became easier. The Modern English period is when the words orange
and indigo were first used to identify colors.

The Compleat Gentleman by Henry Peacham (1622)The
first written occurrence of some color names in English

There is no physical significance in color names. It's all a matter of

culture and culture depends on where you live, what language you
speak, and what century it is. A given wave of light has the same
frequency no matter who is viewing it, but the person perceiving the
color will call it a word appropriate to their culture.
Color discrimination is probably the same for all people in all cultures
(all people with properly working eyeballs). Did the English see orange

or violet before the French told them about it? Of course they could.
They probably called orange red (red) or geolo-red (yellow-red) and
violethwen (blue) or blc-hwen (dark blue) because those were
the words they had available.
Why is an orange called orange but a lemon in not called yellow and a
lime is not called green?
What would you call indigo if I showed it to you? Most certainly blue. I
don't know anyone who uses the word indigo in everyday
conversation. Maybe some painters do. That'd be about it for indigo in
as far as Modern English speakers were concerned. In some
languages blue and indigo are equally significant color words. Maybe
the real question is do we need blue, indigo, and violet?
World Color Survey
Frequency determines color, but wavelength is easier to measure for
light. Wavelength varies with the speed of light, which varies with the
medium. The speed of light is about 0.03% slower in air than in
vacuum. If you're trying to understand color, wavelength is just as
good as frequency. A good approximate range for the visible spectrum
in wavelengths is 400 nm to 700 nm (1 nm = 109 m) although most
humans can detect light just outside that range. Since wavelength is
inversely proportional to frequency the color sequence gets reversed.
400 nm is a dull violet (but violet always appears dull). 700 nm is a dull
red.
We humans who speak English and live at the dawn of the 21st
Century have identified six wavelength bands in the electromagnetic
spectrum as significant enough to warrant a designation with a special
name. They are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Where
one color ends and another begins is a matter of debate as you will
see in the table below.

Which brings us to indigo. How many of you reading this learned

about "Roy G. Biv" (Americans, I presume) or that "Richard of York
Gave Battle In Vain" (Britons, I presume)? Who among you learned
that between blue and violet there was this special color called indigo?
Indigo. The only time I ever hear it is when students recite the visible
spectrum. Indigo is a color of relatively little importance. If indigo
counts as a color then so should canary, and mauve, and puce, and
brick, and teal, and so on. Where is their place in the spectrum?

How many colors are there in this swatch? How many were you taught
in elementary school? The inclusion of indigo in the spectrum goes
back to Isaac Newton. More on this after the data table. If you believe
that indigo is an important color, then here's a set of spectral tables for
you.

Did Richard of York give battle in vain so that future citizens in the
dismantled British Empire would forever remember indigo? Did Mr.
and Mrs. Biv conceive little Roy G. so that future generations of
Americans might learn the true nature of light? Where did indigo come
from?
When Newton attempted to reckon up the rays of light decomposed
by the prism and ventured to assign the famous number seven, he was
apparently influenced by some lurking disposition towards
mysticism, If any unprejudiced person will fairly repeat the
experiment, he must soon be convinced that the various coloured
spaces which paint the spectrum slide into each other by indefinite
shadings: he may name four or five principal colors, but the
subordinate spaces are evidently so multiplied as to be incapable of
enumeration. The same illustrious mathematician, we can hardly
doubt, was betrayed by a passion for analogy, when he imagined that
the primary colours are distributed over the spectrum after the
proportion of the diatonic scale of music, since those intermediate
spaces have really no precise defined limits.

The human eye can distinguish something on the order of 7 to 10

million colors that's a number greater than the number of words in
the English language (the largest language on earth).
The retina
The rods, which far outnumber the cones, respond to wavelengths in
the middle portion of the spectrum of light. If you had only rods in your
retina, you would see in black and white. The cones in our eyes
provide us with our color vision. There are three types of cone,
identified by a capital letter, each of which responds primarily to a
region of the visible spectrum: L to red, M to green, and S to blue.
[slide]
The peak sensitivities are 580 nm for red (L), 540 nm for green (M),
and 440 nm for blue (S). Red and green cones respond to nearly all
visible wavelengths, while blue cones are insensitive to wavelengths
longer than 550 nm. The total response of all three cones together
peaks at 560 nm somewhere between yellow and green in the
spectrum.
Paraphrase
While red, green, and blue are spaced somewhat equally across the
visible spectrum, the specific sensitivities of the L, M, and S cones are
not. This might seem a little confusing, especially since the L cones
aren't even closely centered on the red area of the spectrum.
Fortunately, the spectral sensitivity of the cones is only one part of
how the brain decodes color information. Additional processing takes
these sensitivities into account.

The relative response of the red and green cones to different colors of
light are plotted on the horizontal and vertical axes, respectively.
Values on the tongue shaped perimeter are for light of a single
wavelength (in nanometers). Values within the curve are for light of
mixed frequency. The point in the center labeled D65 corresponds to

additive color mixing

The absence of light is darkness. Add light and human eyes to the
darkness and you get color a perception of the human visual
system. The retina at the back of the human eye has three types of
neurons called cones, each sensitive to a different band of
wavelengths one long, one medium, and one short. The long
wavelength cones are most stimulated by light that appears red, the
medium wavelength cones by light that appears green, and the short
wavelength cones by light that appears blue. A monochromatic
wavelength of light (or a narrow band of wavelengths) can be selected
as a representative for each of these colors. These become
the primary colors of a system that can be used to reproduce other
colors in a process known as additive color mixing.
Additive Primary Colors
black + red

= red

black + green = green

black + blue

= blue

When no light or not enough light falls on the retina, the brain
perceives this nothing as the color black. When the light from two or
more sources falls on adjacent rods in the retina, the brain percives
the combination as a different color. The rules for combinations of the
primary colors are as follows
Additive Color Mixing Rules
nothing = black
red + green = yellow

green + blue
blue + red
red + green + blue

= cyan
= magenta
=

white

Most of us with typical human eyes and a basic knowledge of the

English language are familar with the color yellow. This is probably not
the case for cyan and magenta. Because inkjet printers (which have
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black cartridges) are commonplace
nowadays, it's not uncommon for people to recognise the words cyan
and magenta, but not know how to pronounce them (san and
mjent). As you'd expect given that it's a combination of blue and
green light, cyan appears blue-green something like the blue of the
sky but not exactly. I'd say more like the semiprecious stone turquois
than anything else. Magenta is often confused with pink, but magenta
is much more vibrant. Pink is desaturated red. Magenta is considered
a pure color. (More on this later.) A close relative of magenta is
fuschia, which is a synthetic dye. I can't think of anything natural that
looks like magenta.
These rules are better understood with a diagram than a series of
equations.
[slide]
Color mixing is not an all or nothing process. Red light and green light
together appear yellow, it's true, but they can also appear orange
when mixed if the red light is brighter than the green light. Red light
and green light can be combined in other proportions to produce light
that appears to be a color halfway between red and orange, and
orange and yellow, and yellow and green. We can keep dividing and
subdividing like this to produce new, distinct colors.

One convenient way to represent some of the possibilities is with a

continuous color wheel. Starting on the right side and going
counterclockwise as is the tradition in mathematics, red is placed on
the circumference at 0, green at 120, and blue at 240. The
complimentary colors are halfway between the primaries yellow at
60, cyan at 180, and magenta at 300. These numbers are
called hue angles. White is at the origin. The distance from the origin
to any point on the colorwheel stated as a fraction of the radius is
known as the saturation. White is completely desaturated. Its
saturation is 0%. Colors with low saturation are often identified as pale
or pastel. Colors with a high saturation are bright or vibrant. Colors
with 100% saturation are said to be pure.

historical junk

The painter's color wheel is a convenient way to understand how to

mimic some colors by mixing red, yellow, and blue pigments. This
does not make red, yellow, and blue the primary colors of the human
visual system. They do not satisfy the definition of primary. They can't
reproduce the widest variety of colors when combined. Cyan,
magenta, and yellow have a greater chromatic range as evidenced by
their ability to produce a reasonable black. No combination of red,
yellow, and blue pigments will approach black as closely as do cyan,
magenta, and yellow. The primary colors are red, green, and blue
not red, yellow, and blue.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (17491832), student of the arts,

theatrical director, and author (Iphigenia at Taurus, Egmont, Faust).
Lots of interesting descriptive information on the subjective nature of
color, which many physicists of his day ignored, but does not propose
a physical model of color.
The theory of colors, in particular, has suffered much, and its progress
has been incalculably retarded by having been mixed up with optics
generally, a science which cannot dispense with mathematics;
whereas the theory of colors, in strictness, may be investigated quite
independently of optics.
Colour is a law of nature in relation with the sense of sight [It] is an
elementary phenomenon in nature adapted to the sense of vision
It is not light, in an abstract sense, but a luminous image that we have
to consider.
Yellow, blue, and red, may be assumed as pure elementary colors,
already existing; from these, violet, orange, and green, are the
simplest combined results.
That all the colours mixed together produce white, is an absurdity
which people have credulously been accustomed to repeat for a
century, in opposition to the evidence of their senses.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1810
Hmmm. Alright then.
Now, as it is almost impossible to conceive each sensitive point of the
retina to contain an infinite number of particles, each capable of
vibrating in perfect unison with every possible undulation, it becomes
necessary to suppose the number limited, for instance, to the three
principal colours, red, yellow, and blue, of which the undulations are
related in magnitude nearly as the numbers 8, 7, and 6; and that each
of the particles is capable of being put in motion less or more forcibley

by undulations differing less or more from a perfect unison; for

instance the undulations of green light being nearly in the ratio of 6,
will affect equally the particles in unison with yellow and blue, and
produce the same effect as a light composed of these two species: and
each sensitive filament of the nerve may consist of three portions, one
for each principal colour.
Thomas Young, 1802
