Regularly listening to harmonics, and especially if we create them with our own voice, as in chanting or toning, can alter our states of consciousness and shift our perception of “reality”. This is because sound has a frequency – it vibrates, dissipates and permeates other sounds. It also shapes matter and can influence the operation of the total human system.

Dr. Hans Jenny, a Swiss scientist, demonstrated how sound shapes matter. He placed sand granules on to a metal plate and then played a few notes from great composers such as Mozart and Bach. The sand granules formed constant shapes to the vibration of the sound, and extraordinary patterns were observed. He also described the biological effect of sound on the human body, as every cell of our body has its own vibrational frequency. Human cells are composed of atoms and molecules that resonate according to their mutual harmonies. Many cells together form tissues and organs that are part of a biological system. This system then vibrates according to new harmonies.
