Can the music you listen to strengthen or weaken your body's vitality andtherefore fertilityhealth? In this episode I will discuss how powerful vibrations are and how choosing specificsounds consciously can bring about a healing response in our bodies. Many of these soundshave the potential to be tools in harmonizing our heart coherence and improving fertility health.

Welcome to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. I'm Michelle, a fertilityacupuncturist here to provide you with resources on how to create a wholesomeapproach to your fertility journey. So I've been interested in this for a while. It's really fascinating. I remember when I first heard about how music impacts the body,[00:01:00]really, how music impacts the water crystals from a Soro Emoto. He did research on water crystals. So he basically, he would take a drop of water. And look at it under a microscope and then put the microscope in an area where it would have a freezing point and he would watch how it crystallized and basically what type of crystals it would make and he would take pictures of it. And he first started to do it with polluted and toxic water compared to water from that was distilled in water from natural sources like waterfalls and looked at different types of water and how they would crystallize and just saw the geometriccrystals and wanted to see the difference. And then what happened was he endedup One time adding sound vibration to see how that impacted[00:02:00] water andit was fascinating what he saw and you can look at this It's called the mess thehidden messages of water You can google it and you'll find all kinds of images to show you and he also has a book so you can go to Amazon and search up MasaruEmoto. He has a book called The Hidden Messages of Water. There's even a movie on it and they show exactly how they do this research. So it's really, really fascinating. That was the first time I got really blown away by this. So he found that classical music. Generates different type of beautiful crystal line patterns, incredible intricacies, just gorgeous. It looks beautiful, it looks symmetrical, and it has a lot of intricacies and patterns that just look vibrant. And then he compared that with heavy metal music. And that was really fascinating because it[00:03:00] actually showed very distorted crystalline formations. And I don't know about you, but my husband loves heavymetal, and I cannot listen to it for, like, if I listen to it for a couple of minutes, I start to feel completely frazzled. My energy feels like it's going all over the place. I can't focus. And what's interesting is classical music has also been shown to improve your psyche. It helps slower anxiety and also helps with focus. So it helps with students, for students to listen to classical music. It actually has been shown to help them when it comes to studying and information retention. So that by itself is fascinating. And I've talked before about how the heart houses the mind and the heart, if it feels imbalanced, can cause anxiety. The fact that this helps water and the fact that it helps with anxiety for me,[00:04:00] just as a Chinese medicine practitioner, makes me think that perhaps this is also helping the rhythm of the heart. You know, I've talked about heart math and how there's a coherence that happens. So when music is coherent, There's a coherence and almost a formula that is underlying its design. Could that possibly impact our organs, our cells, and ourheart, our rhythm? Because it is a rhythm that we're listening to. Could that impact that coherence? I don't know. There was no study done on that specifically. Or maybe there was and I'm just not aware of it. But that is something definitely to consider because it sounds like it really impacts our own internal rhythm, just like we are so sensitive to light and light helps our rhythm, the light of nature helps our rhythm, our circadian rhythm, how can sound waves and the rhythms that it It[00:05:00]impacts or the, the vibrations that it gives off, how can that impact us? And that's definitely something to consider. So I actually have a personal experience with sound waves and music, and this is because I helped my daughter. Do an experiment. She did a scientific experiment, a science experiment in herclass. And this was when she was in elementary school. And we took three different plants. Okay, everything was the same. Same type of bowl. Same type of soil. We just, everything was the same. And we took radish, it was radish seeds. And for some reason, I think it was radish. It, for some reason, the reason why we picked it was because it grows really well. And it was like, we looked it online and it said thatthat was something to use, if you were to use an experiment like this.[00:06:00] And everything was exactly the same, same size, same, everything same amount. We even put the seeds exactly the same distance from each other, put them inexactly the same spot outside, let them grow. Um, but actually the second we started putting the plant, the seeds in the plant, what we did was we took each plant. And move them to the back of the house, this like, room. And in that room, one plant would get classical music. The other plant would get heavy metal music. And the third plant would get nothing. And what we saw was incredible. So over time,we would do the same thing. We would just take the, all plants back, even the one that got nothing. But we just put new music and at the end of, I believe it was about six weeks or something like that, it was like a[00:07:00] good, a couple of weeks we've been taking pictures. We were taking pictures as soon as it sprouted and really tracked it. What we found was that the one with classical music did the best. The one that was with heavy metal music did second best and the one with novibration at all did the worst. So it was interesting because some vibration, even if it's not ideal vibration, does something. And what they found too is the same thing happened when, um, Dr. Omoto, I believe a lot of kids did this in kindergarten. It was like a, an experiment that they did. The teachers did with them and they took rice and they would take rice and one rice, they would say, I love you. The other jar of rice, they would say, I hate you. And then the third, they ignored completely. And it was the same thing. The one that got ignored. Did the worst,[00:08:00]it molded like black and the one that said that you said, I love you to ended up doing amazing. And it would actually like went into this golden, it was like a golden yellow fermenting. So it was a good, healthy ferment, fermenting process. And so that was definitelyinteresting that the one that was ignored did the worst. And you think about how people would prefer negative attention over no attention. It makes you think about that as well, because it must be giving some kind of energy, even if it's negative, it still must be some kind of energy or some kind of force versus nothing at all. And I thought that was interesting as well. So even, even the vibration of words can impact how things respond. So words are vibration. You talk about music, music is vibration, but words are[00:09:00]vibration as well. The words that you, as you are speaking, you hear and the words that you're even thinking have a vibration. Just think about the thoughts that you have and how that impacts your body. And I've talked about that as well. Just like the thought itself can impact your body. So, speaking of words, what wasreally, really fascinating, so we're talking about saying the words and actuallythinking the words. What was really fascinating is that Dr. Omoto also had littlevials where he would store water. So, one part of his experiment was based onmusic.Another one was on type of water. And then what he used as sort of like his controlwater to start with was distilled water. And it had a very specific geometric shapethat was very basic. It looked basic. It looked like, um, a hexagon. And then whathe would do was he would expose[00:10:00]that to music. And then he would see the difference, but then he also exposed it to words. And each word would emit a different type of crystal. And the crystal with positivewords would be really beautiful. And the crystals that were negative words, andsome of the negative words weren't even that drastic. It would say like, you fool.And that's not like a curse word. It's just. It's putting somebody down, but it's not acurse word, but even that would come out distorted.So this is what's really fascinating to me, is that he wouldn't even say the words. It wasn't even the vibration of the actual sound of the word. He would write them down on the vial. So just the written aspect of the word had a vibration. It must have in order to impact the crystal of the water because water responds tovibration. So[00:11:00]that is just insane to me. I mean, it's so fascinating how just writing down words, and I've talked about this before because I feel like. When you are manifesting or trying to really set an intention, I always recommend writing the act of writing because when you're writing the word and you're, you're almost inscripting it into your mind, and that's why I think that writing a letter to your spirit baby could be so powerful because that is something that you can actually be. Use and you can also take part in so when you're actually moving your hand thinking about it moving your hand and inscripting it and it becomes almost real when you're actually inscripting it in paper. It has another type of level of impact and it's been shown that when you do write things down. First of all, when you're studying and[00:12:00] you're writing something down, it actually gets more into your consciousness and your subconscious mind. And also, writing goals down has been shown to improve the chances of them being accomplished by something like 40%. So all of those things are really fascinating, things that we've been told, just the power of words, but then toactually see that there are studies that prove those things to be true. So what I do want to bring up is that just like heavy metal music has been shown to be not quite as compatible with water crystals, and we are probably 60 to 70 percent water, and a lot of water is yin, and yin is the feminine energy, and yin is really whatsurrounds a baby in a womb, and lots of our cells need water, and our cells react as well, or they can hold that[00:13:00]vibration within them. Therefore, our bodies do respond to music. I want you to be aware of the fact that alot of music that is out there may not be heavy metal, but there's a lot of music that is out there that may not be quite as compatible with the body and could. Some ofthe music out there that's more mainstream. Could that be another level to environmental toxins? And I'm not saying this to make anybody worried about another level of something that they have to worry about, but it's something to consider to consider whether it's strengthening you or weakening you, or is it really helping you? And what I'm going to say is that there are certain types of music that you can listen to that can help support your body and it helps support your energy. And these are ones that specifically that have been[00:14:00]shown to help. An done of them, like I mentioned is classical music, but the other one is called solfeggio frequencies. So it's a type of frequency and sound that can actually help impact your body in a positive way. And you can find them online. I mean, if yougo, if you have like, I believe Spotify might have them, but I think you can findthem even with Pandora. And iTunes music, and you can also find them, I believe, also on YouTube as well. So there are definitely really, really good frequencies, but you can also find the Schumann frequency, the Schumann sound, which is basically the Earth's heartbeat. And that too can help. Another thing that I would suggest, if you want, you can also get certain music that chant ancient mantras, mantras that come from India or Tibetan Buddhism. Those mantras have also been[00:15:00]shown to help. And what's interesting is I saw recently just with the OM mantra that it creates a certain vibration and they put water on a plate. And had that sound vibration amplified from the OM mantra, just people chanting OM and what that produced was incredible fractals that look like these amazing mandalas, which actually kind of look like crystals if you think about it. Very similar, um, symmetrical, beautiful, intricacy, and it kind of makes you think about how sacred geometry works. The Flower of Life is a really, really great one. I have a Flower of Life meditation. It has basically visuals of a kaleidoscope while it'sguided through, and that is on my hypnosis membership. That's one[00:16:00]of the things that I have on there, but it is super powerful because if you look at the flower of life, it is basically, it looks like a much more geometrical aspect of an embryo. So it's really fascinating. Because you could just take this down a whole rabbit hole, but yes, become aware of what you're listening to, the vibrations, and at least experiment with different types of music and start playing it around your house or even listening to them, but I feel like it's important to play it out in the environment because your body If you're just listening to it, you're just putting in your ears. But when you're actually bathing in it and you're feeling that vibration on your body, then I feel like that's even, that's a whole other level of sound vibration that can impact you. But also you could start doing something called seed mantras. You can go online. There's a mantra really for every[00:17:00]chakra. You can do each one from chakra one to all the way to your crown chakra. Um, try different ones, try different sounds. Ohm if you can't think of anything else, just even ohm and start humming. Because what they found is by humming, you canstimulate your vagus nerve and the vagusnerve is so impactful for so many important. Aspects of our body and one of them being digestive health and sleep and it really calms your nervous system, so it has tremendous benefits to activate and thecurrent world that we're living in and just also the patterns that we're part of andlike just the the schedule the Information overload can really impact the nervous system. And I feel like unless you're being proactive about balancing that out, then most likely you're going to get imbalanced just by living in[00:18:00]this world. Unfortunately, hopefully one day it's going to start to become a little more compatible with our bodies, but that is just what it is. So it's important to really educate yourself and kind of learn different tools and ways to counteract. All of the stressors that we're dealing with and the stressors can come in so many different ways. So I thought this would be an interesting episode to talk about because this is a whole other dimension that can work for us or against us depending on what it is that we're exposed to. So I thought vibration might really be impactful and I feel like I guess my guess is that it's probably really good for fertility to listen to things like classical music or at least solfeggio frequencies at least a couple of times a day or even once a day, something, or even chanting. Sometimes if you're driving, just chant. Turn off the music for a little[00:19:00]bit and just chant. Chant OM and try chanting it a couple of times. Number one, it is going to slow down your breathing. When you slow down your breathing, you slow down your mind, you calm your mind and you get more grounded. So chanting forces you to, to breathe slow and deep, but the vibration happens within side your body and it vibrates to all of yourselves. So you feel afterwards like you're getting an internal massage. So I highly recommend trying to chant Om for a minute. Just repeat it up until. You get to a minute and then pause and just get quiet afterwards and feel how your body feels. It will feel incredible. It feels like an internal massage that is subtle and it's acompletely different type of feeling. And it also helps, I think after, after chanting, it's interesting that they used to do this right[00:20:00] before yoga and after yoga, but it also helps your, it kind of increases your body awareness and your interoception, which is really importantfor meditation to like really tune your internal awareness of your body, your cells,and kind of like the mechanism that happens behind the scenes. So I highly recommend trying that out. Just do an experiment. See how you feel and see how that impacts your psyche, how that impacts your body, and even how it impacts your sleep. Or even relationships. I don't know. I think, I would imagine it helps everything. So, I hope this works for you. If you find anything interestingto note, reach out to me.
