Music medicine and the healing power of sound are concepts which date back as far as Ancient Greece, having been first attributed to Pythagoras. John Stuart Reid’s first encounter with sound healing took place in the King’s Chamber in the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, where he ran an experiment in cymatics which, he explains, is the basic principle that sound—which is omnipresent—makes an acoustic impression upon any membrane it encounters—such as those in the countless cells which comprise our bodies. His invention, the cymascope, which makes visible the different patterns that various sounds make on cells, has the power to revolutionize our approach to healing–and even to help eliminate cancer. John, a sound engineer turned acoustic physics scientist, reveals how sound promotes oxygenation in the body, its effect on the Vagus nerve and how it can help eliminate chronic inflammation in the body and slow the aging process. He’ll explain how music affects the cells, why, contrary to popular belief, pop music is more healing than classical music, and which make and model of headphones provide the most beneficial listening experience.Quotes:“This is one of the reasons why sound therapy and music medicine—which, you know I love to talk about those subjects as well—it’s one of the reasons why they are so efficacious when it comes to catalyzing or stimulating the body’s innate healing response. Sound comes into your body, it penetrates your body, and literally creates cymatic patterns on every cell in your body that has a membrane.” (10:40 | John Stuart Reid) “Imagine: as we’re immersed in a musical environment, those beautiful, harmonious sounds are now literally organizing the countless water molecules in your body into great beauty. And again, this has medical implications. It’s not just pretty patterns or pretty organization; there are medical benefits to this.” (20:35 | John Stuart Reid“Imagine now a rhythmic pulsation coming up through the bed, and not from one spot but rhythmically moving up and down the body, in a very beautiful, pulsating, rhythmic way. And that would be actually soothing to the patient, and not only would it help the oxygenation levels of the patient—and by the way, oxygen is the key ingredient in the body for all—well—almost all of the healing mechanisms of the body are powered by oxygen. So, if there’s more oxygen available to the patient, then of course it’s going to speed their recovery from hospital.” (42:33 | John Stuart Reid) “It’s a poetic thought, but it’s also very real from a scientific viewpoint, that if you sing to the stars, you will literally be sending your song to the stars. And the reverse is also true: the stars are singing to us.” (100:18 | John Stuart Reid)LinksConnect with John Stuart Reid:John's Research Institute: https://cymascope.com/To Make a Donation to Cymatics Research: https://cymascope.com/donate/There's more to QBC: To receive our Podcast Guide, where we break episodes down by category & to receive updates from us, subscribe to our email list here: https://qbcpod.comYou can join the FREE QBC online community here.
