Acutonics From Galaxies to Cells: Planetary Science, Harmony and Medicine

 

"This comprehensive new book explores our relationship to the cosmos, demonstrating the vastness, power, and direct connection between planetary influences and human experiences. Bridging rational and intuitive knowledge, art and science, Acutonics draws on Oriental medicine, Western medicine, energy medicine, physics, depth psychology, astrological medicine, and sound healing principles to create a powerful and innovative approach to optimal health. Through the laws of physics, many recent scientific advances, and the exploration of myths and archetypes, clear evidence and fresh insights are presented that demonstrate the ways in which the collective vibrations of the universe impact our emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies."

Nature’s Sights and Sounds -- But Not Cityscapes and Noise -- Ease Spinal Pain During Bone Marrow Extractions

"As the song says, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and now researchers at Johns Hopkins have found that the sights and sounds of chirping birds, ribbiting frogs and water trickling downstream can ease the substantial pain of bone marrow extraction in one of five people who must endure it."

Distant Images - Soundscapes by Leigh Spusta

"The soundscapes on this recording have been specifically designed to produce states of profound relaxation and expanded awareness.

The sounds have a tendency to move throughout the body, vibrating at a deep level, bringing the listener to a state of insightful awareness and balance."

Why Music Moves Us

Key Concepts

• Some scientists conclude that music’s influence over us may be a chance event, arising from its ability to hijack brain systems built for other purposes such as language, emotion and movement.
• Music seems to offer a novel method of communication rooted in emotions rather than in meaning. Research shows that what we feel when we hear a piece of music is remarkably similar to what everybody else in the room is experiencing.
• Songs facilitate emotional bonding and even physical interactions such as marching or dancing together and thus may help cement ties that underlie the formation of human societies. In addition, tunes may work to our benefit on an individual level, manipulating mood and even human physiology more effectively than words can.

"Inception's musical secret: the two major musical stings in the movie (a threatening, bassy throb and a grainy Victrola of Edith Piaf singing "Je Ne Regrette Rien") are, in fact, the same song, played at very different speeds."
