FULL SPECTRUM SOUND HEALING: INTRODUCTION
Science has shown that sound frequencies occurring in nature can literally feed the brain, heal the body, and stimulate elevated levels of consciousness. 'Full Spectrum Sound' is an innovative therapeutic concept that uses these frequencies to promote health and wholeness from the cellular level up. With Full Spectrum Sound Healing, master ambient sound technician and composer Alex Theory offers a collection of four musically satisfying and powerfully healing albums based on the elements that make up our world. Designed for massage therapists, bodyworkers, and practitioners in any healing modality.
Included Albums:
Water: The soothing vibrations of life’s most essential element, harnessed with specially designed water chimes.
Light: The energy of light translated into a rich, sonic tapestry that calms the senses, nurtures the spirit, and bathes you in an atmosphere of therapeutic radiance.
Earth: Eight tracks imbued with the Schumann Resonance, a natural electromagnetic frequency that pervades and supports all life on our world.
Air: Atmospheric layers of ambient sound created with scientifically designed chimes based on the vibrational frequencies of oxygen molecules.
"With this record, the third volume of the 'Full Spectrum Sound Healing' series, my wish is to bring the healing resonance of our planet to your willing ears. All the tracks you hear are suffused with a frequency that is the ever-present tone of life on Earth."
Scientific Origins
"When lightning strikes the Earth’s surface, a standing wave with an extremely low frequency—astonishingly similar to that of the alpha/theta brain wave state—rises out of the Earth’s electromagnetic background noise and resonates in the chamber between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere."
Frequency: Approximately $7.8125\text{ Hz}$.
Discovery: Predicted and named for Winfried Otto Schumann in 1952; first scientifically observed in 1963.
Biological Impact: Analysis confirms many species, including humans, are positively affected by this frequency.
Deprivation Experiment: One experiment isolated human subjects from the Schumann Resonance for four weeks, resulting in headaches and negative emotional symptoms that vanished after brief re-exposure.
Musical Composition
"Ninety percent of the Schumann Resonance tones on Earth were created from acoustic sources: custom-tuned Tibetan and crystal bowls, a water-based instrument called the Earth drum, and a custom-tuned didgeridoo."
The remaining 10 percent were created digitally for frequency precision.
Synchronicity: While tuning the Earth drum in a water tub, the creators found it was already precisely tuned to the Schumann Resonance without adjustment.
The Global OM
This information inspired Alex Theory to use the resonance as the foundational tone for the Global OM, an annual worldwide chant of the sacred Om syllable launched at Earthdance International in 2007.
