Harmonious Waves and Healing Sounds: Unlocking the Mysteries of Sound Therapy and Emotional Resonance
Ever wondered how sound frequencies can tune your mind and body like a finely crafted instrument? This episode dives deep into the science and magic of sound therapy, from the transformative effects of Hemisync on brainwave synchronization to the serene vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls. We explore how different frequencies—from delta and theta to alpha and beta—can aid in sleep, creativity, deep meditation, and focus. Discover the hidden power of high-quality audio equipment and how specific tones can influence your well-being, both positively and negatively.
Music isn’t just an art form; it’s a powerful emotional and communicative tool. Journey with us as we uncover theories about the universal harmony of sound, including the mysterious musical notes discovered in ancient pyramids. Personal stories bring these concepts to life, showing how various listening environments can evoke a wide range of emotional responses. From heavy metal to dark synth wave, learn how different genres can profoundly resonate with your soul and transform your emotional landscape.
The therapeutic benefits of sound go beyond just listening. We delve into sound therapy techniques, including the calming effects of whale sounds and the profound impact of mantra meditation and breathing exercises.

Cotman, crawford and the Jersey Guy podcast.
Speaker 2:Hey everybody, Kenny Cotman.
Speaker 1:Lewis Crawford and I'm Tom Ramage, the Jersey Guy.
Speaker 2:Hello, hello.
Speaker 3:How are you?
Speaker 1:How you doing what's going on, brother?
Speaker 3:Yeah you, how's it going?
Speaker 2:not too bad how you doing good feels good, we'll just get right into it then. Thank you for joining us thank you.
Speaker 3:I figure we do a lot of stuff on the podcast when it comes to health and things like that. I saw one that I thought would be pretty interesting, but then we'll probably get into other things as well. I figure you know we do a lot of stuff on the podcast, you know, when it comes to health and things like that. Right, we've done a few things. I saw one that I thought would be pretty interesting, but then we'll probably get into other things as well, because that's just going to happen, definitely.
Speaker 3:So it's about sound frequencies and how they can be really healing and helpful for you. Yeah, I didn't realize this a while back, but when I started seeing more of it, it was pretty interesting how, if you listen to a certain thing, it can actually help you in whatever it is that you're looking to get help with. Let's say, you can't sleep or you're stressing out. There's a bunch We'll go through it Hemisync, Hemisync.
Speaker 1:What is that? I haven't heard that. Okay, so that's something I know about. It's called hemi-sync. You're supposed to wear high-quality headphones and it sends sound waves to your head and it turns to a certain frequency. They can actually channel certain frequencies to actually make you feel high too, if you want.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yes, yes, well, okay so.
Speaker 2:I didn't know if it was cool, but I know that's a good process.
Speaker 3:But that's just saying Joe, yeah, yeah, but they're just saying joe, like even if you just listen to a. Let's say, you ask your lexa to play, like it's sometimes, you'll ask her to play.
Speaker 2:Uh, you know white noise or something like that, or rain falling right, you know, yes, um and just to sleep or whatever. That kind of would be the same thing, I would think right yeah, that's another form of meditation and a form of relaxation, and so that's the sound thing. So, right there, with the bowls and the sound meditation, they do that, that and that's another one. That's another therapy as well, as a matter of fact.
Speaker 3:Yep. So sound frequencies have been used for healing and therapeutic purposes for centuries across various cultures. The concept is rooted in the belief that different frequencies can influence the body, mind and positive ways. Here are some key aspects of sound frequencies and the healing power of sound frequencies and the healing power. Binarial beats involve playing in slightly different frequencies in each ear, which is what you that's semi-sync.
Speaker 3:yeah, yep creating the perception of a third frequency. This is believed to synchronize the brainwaves and promote state-light relaxation, focus and meditation. Yeah, which is pretty cool. Delta also associated with deep sleep and healing. Theta linked with deep meditation, relaxation. So each one, and it has numbers next to it. So so, like delta is, yeah, one dash four hertz yeah you know like it has its own frequency and if you play it that way and it could go ahead.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, no, no, I don't want to cut you off too much. I'm just saying like, delta is like, uh, the, the brain waves that you produce when you're, um, being in, like very creative, let's say, you're producing delta brainwaves right you listen to that?
Speaker 3:supposed to maybe just like help you in that creative mode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's great if you're like an inventor or you're someone who's you know.
Speaker 3:so that's good stuff, man. Here's another one alpha promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety. It's good stuff, man. Here's another one Alpha promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety. Beta, associated with active thinking and focus. You were just talking about the bowls, right? So Tibetan single bowls. These bowls produce sounds and vibrations, believed to reduce stress, promote relaxation and balance the body's energy centers and chakras, right I?
Speaker 2:didn't mean to chop that up Now how I'm going to tell you I don't know. Have you ever done anything like that, or have you not?
Speaker 3:You've read it, no but I don't need to do it to believe that it does work.
Speaker 2:No, no, no. I'm just saying like have you come across a few?
Speaker 3:I haven't gone that far in my therapeutic.
Speaker 2:Okay, have you.
Speaker 3:The frequencies? Yes, I've listened to a few. I've gone and looked them up and listened to them and put them on my headphones. Okay, and they are relaxing, right, they are. It just has a certain tone or whatever it is that it does. Okay, and if you, you just allow yourself to listen to it, does it does?
Speaker 1:help. I've done the binaural beats, but that was before. Like I had high quality headphones and it helped a little bit. But they say you really have to have like good quality yeah, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna try it.
Speaker 2:I was thinking about you know, doing it and put it on the phone, because I got the monster speakers at home, so that's not a bad idea. I can hook that up, but so headphones are good too. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm just saying, like you know, just to have it like right in the room thing. So here's crazy. I've known about this, you know. I'm saying, oh, I have to kind of like messed with it a little bit. You know certain things and, like anything else, there are tones that would probably make you feel ill and so absolutely do the opposite. So on the machine that I work on, then in my job, there's a vibration and a hump to it that if I'm standing too close, I get nauseous. Yeah, I believe it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no lie, what about that? That reminds me of the thing that if you're driving your car, if you have one window open and there's another one, oh yeah and then you get that tire and it's like yo you gotta close your window.
Speaker 2:Man, I'm gonna puke, yeah, yeah yeah, it's bad if you only have the back window. Yeah, just that one back window open right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know it's even with two. Oh yeah, I know those are closed and the back windows are open. It creates some kind of air pressure yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:It always happened with one with me for some reason, and I was like, yeah, I didn't do it, I've only heard it over for the one I didn't know you could yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 1:Now you make me go dry that shit when I get my front as long as the front windows or yeah, open everything else is groovy, but so that then now it's I want.
Speaker 2:Now I wonder, oh good, good, good, no, I'm gonna say music, that's why well, this on here as well so yeah, so, music being what it is, so that then some people like certain kinds of music. Yeah, because that's that sound wave, it's that thing that puts you into that groove, into that yeah oh, I believe it yeah, go ahead some of its beat.
Speaker 1:But yes, look this up.
Speaker 3:But I don't know. I remember what it did or how it helped. It was definitely a positive thing.
Speaker 3:But they say I believe it was mozart who had a certain um, um, I don't know what the correct word is he wrote yeah, symphony, all right, and then this particular one had a certain tone to it, had a certain frequency to it, believe it or not, and it supposedly helped with certain I don't want to say what they are because I don't know off the top of my head. So look it up If you can see, find it on your phone or something, just to see what it is, you know. Just curious, if I'm right. There's also a I'll say here look it up, when do I look? I don't even know where to look.
Speaker 1:No, don't look it up. I was just giving you an option. I mean Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, well, go ahead, I'm sorry, read yours.
Speaker 3:So self-phagio frequencies there's a list of them, so this one's as 528HZ, and then it just says often referred to as the miracle tone associated with DNA repair and transformation. Wow, that's pretty cool. It just kills me is that all this stuff has always been around and nobody's really known about it, unless you were already into that kind of stuff, right? What I mean.
Speaker 1:The funny thing, because there's no money to be made off of that, but I.
Speaker 3:That's the whole thing the funny thing is is that I always knew about this stuff Like the bowls, right All that you know. I always was into that kind of stuff, not that I ever practiced any of it but I frequencies have done right.
Speaker 2:So that then the funny. Going back to an older podcast, the ufo stuff, because they were saying that some of the symbols, uh, so they say that the universe is in in, uh, is in harmony, right, and that anything and everything that lives in the universe is part of that harmony, of that sound, and that for us, that that would be the way for us to communicate. So I forgot, if it was the, I would say no, no, I'm trying to remember because they found them in both um pyramids, I was gonna say in mexico and oh, I believe it and they have found, um, I guess, like, uh, I guess we'll say musical notes and how they did it.
Speaker 2:And the tones they played it right and they put them on, like on the speaker that had a, like a plate over it, and they tones they played it right and they put them on, like on the speaker that had a like a plate over it and they threw sand on it and the different tones that they played gave different symbols and stuff in the sand. So like, yeah, that's why I'm saying that. You know it was I can't remember which one that they did it in first is what I was gonna say, but they did them in both and they found these things and like, and the way that it vibrated and whatnot. Just it made like a different. What's going on is that they changed the channel and the hurts on it.
Speaker 2:It was crazy. I bugged out, I was like what? So that now that was the thought to be able to send, or find out what the message may be, to then send the message back out into space. My only funny with that is that they'll send it to the wrong direction. You know what I mean. And they send it to the Klingons instead of the Rondays.
Speaker 3:You know like that kind of thing, send me the Vulcan please.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I mean For sure. So it's one of those things. But yeah, so sound is in everything.
Speaker 3:You know, it's that, like I was, listening.
Speaker 2:Now, I love the particular music. I'm not going to say the kind of music I love it. I was listening to it on the way here, depending on. So the first time I listened to this whole mixtape, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2:Just a blend of this music. It put me in such a sad mood, like it just brought me down so bad. Is it the music that was on there? Because of what would? What? It was? I guess just the tones. That it was how I was listening to it, right? Because then when I listened to it in my house, I was like, oh, you remember this shit? Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:For some reason, when you were in your car.
Speaker 2:it was different. It was in no oh and the headphones. It sounded so crazy that it just like I was heavy, my chest was hurting, I had to turn it off. You got emotional. Yeah, we emotional and like it really, like it physically was painful, yeah you know, like, I was like and I took it off.
Speaker 2:I'm like, holy shit, I can't listen to this man. And then when I listened to it in the house, just a whole better. And I have, we have good headphones, so maybe it's too close. Whatever it was, bro messed me up and that just you know, and you already had that shit with you for years already and it just messed me all up. I was like holy cow, like right, but then I listened to it. I was listening to it on the way here.
Speaker 2:Now, that same you know music, that same one and it was like yeah, I'm like like, yeah, I go, yeah, yeah, yeah, like all good, I remember that and it's bringing back the good memories and stuff.
Speaker 3:There are some music that is either really dark and there's stuff that's really uplifting, but I like a blend of all of it where it's not too crazy like that. That's that I wouldn't want to deal with that, but I do have a. I get affected by music more emotionally, okay. So for me it's like it either triggers something that I remember or I'm thinking about or whatever, and then I'll get emotional about it, right.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean. Yeah, not like outright, you know, just to myself. You're saying like if I'm in the car, or you know I'm listening to something. You know what I mean, Even the upbeat music.
Speaker 2:Even like upbeat music.
Speaker 3:Like we listen to freestyle, so like even the freestyle, well, it depends. I mean, the only way I would think it would be that and I don't mean emotional, a bad way, I mean in a good way okay, okay, you're thinking about somebody, or? You're thinking about a certain thing, or whatever it is it could be, you know, I'm saying because the music can trigger any kind of memory.
Speaker 2:Really, when you think about it, like to just well, more like the uh heavier rock right.
Speaker 1:Actually it's crazy.
Speaker 3:I'm strange, you listen to the German. What's the name of that band?
Speaker 1:I should completely change what kind of music I listen to.
Speaker 3:I listen to metal and stuff like that sometimes. What did you listen to? What was the name of the band?
Speaker 1:Oh, Rammstein.
Speaker 3:Rammstein. He was going to take me to a Rammstein concert. It got canceled because of COVID.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, remember, yeah yeah but so now we're listening to, so I listen to a lot of like dark synth wave, dark wave really, yeah, I just like completely switched. It's funny. I start listening what is it, I was like wow, this music just like touches my soul really it gives me a freaking like it.
Speaker 2:Just what music it like twists me it's a lot of independent artists like.
Speaker 1:A very popular one is Boy Harsher, which is a good band they're from Was it rock no no Metal. It's like synth wave.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like. Synth wave Synthia. Yeah, like a techno.
Speaker 1:Some of them are post-punk too, like a really good band she Passed Away is the name of the band. They're like it's goth type stuff. This stuff is dark. Yeah, uh, they're like it's. It's very it's goth type stuff, but, um, like this stuff is dark. Yeah, yeah, but it's post-punk. So it's like the way they play the music. It's very like early 80s sounding, even though it's not.
Speaker 3:But they're a turkish band and like their lyrics are really dark right, because they it's almost like a techno song, right like well some of it is well, some of them are and well, synthesizers right, it's really if it's post-punk that I listen to, but some is dark synth wave.
Speaker 1:Gotcha. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it sounds very 80s. Yeah, I never could get into that Like Boyd Archer uses a lot of sounds that actually sound like stuff from horror movies.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Almost like when you watch Halloween.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:Or, even better, halloween 3.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's real synth wave yeah.
Speaker 3:See that, that and that. For me, that's nothing. For me it does nothing.
Speaker 1:The music just that's not, that it hurts. I just, yeah, I don't like it. I mean, for a horror movie, wow, you might be like, holy shit, this is really good yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I know you have to put it on, I know my, I'm pretty good when it comes to music.
Speaker 3:If I haven't heard it yet, there's a reason for it I'm just saying no love. I'm sorry, man no you know I'll take a gander at it, but I don't think I'm going to be like jumping out and throwing shit on my phone and going, oh, throw this in the car in the morning when I'm driving to work.
Speaker 2:Because the funny is like I could listen to GWAR. I could listen to that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3:GWAR, yeah, yeah, you know what?
Speaker 2:I the metal, but now I gotta be a little moved for it.
Speaker 1:But I like ska. Yeah, I love ska music. It's funny because I'm wearing a shirt. Yeah, metal band from. Uh, that's right. Yeah, he's had his own band. I like it website. It's a cool shirt.
Speaker 3:That's important, I like it, but I got to listen to that.
Speaker 2:I like that, if you ever I'm sorry, I hate to think um, uh, let's say ska music. So ska music, I love ska music, it's like that. Um, they're scrolling up zippers is one of my favorite. You know groups, yeah, and it just that's the group and it's just like that I've never heard of anything like this yeah, I mean honestly, I have never heard of this.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's just like that cool like I'd have to listen to it not better heard that? Song better knock on wood. Yeah, you probably if. I ever had to knock on wood? Did I know someone who?
Speaker 3:that's Scott. Okay, yeah, so it's like that. But I don't know about the stuff you listen to.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying, yeah, uh huh yeah, like B-52s would kind of be like a watered down version of that kind of thing, like if somebody like their album or whatever.
Speaker 3:So that goes to show you like, so what he likes doesn't work for you, you know what I'm saying, vice versa. So everybody's own music is their own therapy, right? You know what I mean when you think about it, right?
Speaker 2:And we're talking about just music as far as that sounds concerned. As music itself. Stuff is just supposed to be more of that. The sound therapy, like we were talking about the healing. It's more of a tone, it's not like just the music with the different instruments.
Speaker 3:It's supposed to get reached deeper into your psyche. It's supposed to get that meditation. Right, exactly, and heal whatever's going on that you're not able to reach physically and I believe that.
Speaker 2:I believe that that works.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, no, absolutely, I believe all that. I believe that that works. Oh yeah, no, absolutely, I believe all that. I think, if you see it, listen, check this out real quick. I usually like we were just talking about the noises. So just real quick, like ambient noises. There's one on there. It's whales in underneath the water, right, and they're talking to one another and tiny's. Like I can't listen to this and I'm like this is freaking awesome, like I want to listen to because I can go to sleep to this it's.
Speaker 2:I'm like this is freaking awesome, Like I want to listen to it because I can go to sleep to this.
Speaker 3:It's whales talking to each other yeah, in the water, and Tanya's like I can't listen to this, but it goes to show you again. You know that type of ambient noise and you were just talking about. What were you just saying?
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, the different tones, the therapy, like you know, with the bowls and stuff like that, just hearing different tones it's crazy how like just what your taste is.
Speaker 1:It's funny.
Speaker 2:Yeah. You know, it's just what get you, it's what yeah it gets to you you know what I mean like something that you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Like music is is funny, like that, like you know, like it's just, like it just channels you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely everybody's tone is different, you know. I mean, like I can have a deeper tone, yours might not be as deep. I'm sorry, bro, it's just like that. You know, it's just sticking out right there. You know, that is just the um, just the different things that would do for you, right? You know? Um, like the deeper tones, the super vibrating, like the, that would just make me nauseous, that would mess up my stomach like all day long you know, yeah, no, but it's got to be a tone that's going to be helpful too.
Speaker 3:You don't want something?
Speaker 2:well, I wouldn't be able to listen to the whales either, that I would get annoyed with just that. That, no.
Speaker 3:But yeah, it's. That's not how it sounds, though it's. It's actually very peaceful. It's just some people interpret it right differently and I'm like, yeah, but listen to it, they're not. They're not sad or angry, they're just talking on that. It's just like it's amazing you know and you're listening to it you can get like in a trance from it, just like listening to it, you know what I mean, and that wouldn't do it for me, though.
Speaker 2:I'd be like I need a better kind of something else more stimulating you know, whatever you want to call it, you can listen to. Pergol too. Yeah, yeah, All day long.
Speaker 3:So we're talking right so music is a big therapy, then right so music therapists use specific types of music and sounds and frequencies to treat various physical, emotional and mental health conditions. Music therapy can improve mood, reduce pain and enhance overall well-being so yeah, I well. You totally agree with this. We've already known that yeah like when you're down in the dumps. Man, what are you gonna listen to?
Speaker 2:yeah, like I was telling my dad because my dad just admitted to me that he's having memory loss you know what I'm saying and like I was like listen to music, listen to things that were familiar to you. You know, I was telling my stepmom listen to these, play these things for him. You know, this way it'll. Just get him watching the old school TV programs he used to watch back in the day, right, like on MeTV or something, just have TV programs.
Speaker 3:He used to watch back in the day, like on MeTV or something which show did you like, in the back of the day, just have him reintroduce himself to it.
Speaker 2:Exactly, he was into the old J's, like old school bands, old J's and the Temptations and things like that.
Speaker 3:There might be some sound therapy that he could do. That would be helpful.
Speaker 2:Exactly that's what I'm saying Again, me knowing about these things I don't know about, like I'm not this expert or whatever. I know what works for me is what I should say, and, you know, hoping that he'll, they will take my advice. Well, and let that. You know, we'll see and do it, because I sent him a bunch of music, said this way he can you know things that he and I used to listen to and hopefully, right, listen to it. But you got, I think I'm gonna read something. No, because I'm gonna say, um, so like a sound healing session involves laying down in a cozy and comfortable setting, closing your eyes and focusing on sounds made by musical instruments like the chimes, gongs and the singing bowls.
Speaker 2:You know, because those are the things that's supposed to just center you, you know. But of course, again, for me, the the, the gongs, but it's like that's too much, like that, just that. Yeah, it's too much for me, you know well, you, you know, the um mantra chants the very famous one the om yes, people think it's I'm not mistaken, it also helps produce nitrous oxide as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that mantra.
Speaker 3:Which is really good for you, by the way, I've actually done that before I've done mantra meditation.
Speaker 1:You're supposed to.
Speaker 2:It causes vibration from your body and channels frequent it's supposed to channel your chakras, right, oh, right, right.
Speaker 1:Right, right, right, right, right, right. When we're at the o and m goes through with your whole, that whole saying channels straight up your chakras. It's crazy if you know how to do it and you keep over and over and your actual like you can feel those parts of your body like vibrating crazy. Um, that's a whole different type. I was doing that for a while as mantras that's pretty cool stuff, man.
Speaker 3:If you can get into that, yeah for sure, no doubt. But it has a lot to do with frequency yes, and also, like I was saying before, when they say you breathe through your nose, you're not only breathing in oxygen, but you're creating nitrous oxide, which is really good for you. When they say, when you meditate that way, the way he just described, you also do the same thing which you need, which is healthy for you. When you breathe through your mouth, you're only getting pure, you're just getting air.
Speaker 1:You're not getting anything else.
Speaker 3:You want all that other stuff. It's supposed to be helpful, yeah, right.
Speaker 2:So now how long do?
Speaker 3:you stay. There's a reason for it.
Speaker 1:Like half hour.
Speaker 3:Okay, you guys sit in the middle of a room, got your bowls and shit.
Speaker 1:The crazy part is with that chant. You just produce one sound and your mouth makes it you just go, oh, oh, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 3:Very cool, you just go.
Speaker 1:oh, Just by closing your mouth slowly. I watched a whole guru talk about how to do it. So I learned how to do it.
Speaker 3:It's crazy, though, Afterwards it's like coming out of a massage afterwards you know you're like just that's how you feel yeah that is crazy like, but you're super relaxed afterwards right, absolutely yeah, you feel good, yeah, so that I I just saw my my therapist.
Speaker 2:She was, oh, not the therapist I meant. I meant, but yeah, so I'm sorry yeah.
Speaker 3:So I'm saying I just you know it's you that makes sense, that it's like an internal massage because you're using. You know it's crazy chakra, chi, right, key, right. You know, like everything has a different name. You know, but if they're talking about that part of your being you, know what I mean that you get in touch with to feel it, let it flow.
Speaker 2:You know, almost like the force there you go see, and that's basically what the sound is right, like that's supposed to be. May the force be with you. If you can do the sound a certain way that is projected, it is like the force that you are able to meditate and basically feel everything around you. It takes a lot of discipline, though. Oh, definitely, bro, the super discipline you know, what I mean, and it's not like it's going to happen after you know three months of going to sound therapy.
Speaker 3:You know this is like no, but monks well that kind of that, especially because that's yeah you're gonna have to learn it and fucking figure it out and try to master it so it actually works for you not that it wouldn't work right away. But the better you get, the better it's gonna get. Exactly then you gotta learn how to meditate.
Speaker 2:Like I'm not 100 on meditate, how to meditate, I guess in in the sense of to be at that level, is what I mean.
Speaker 3:Right to be able to see where your legs crossed, and then do that.
Speaker 2:Like I know, like now I realize you know in the other podcast I know how to meditate. I just didn't realize I was actually doing it. But to get to that level where I'm conscious of all the stuff around me, to feel the force, I like that bro. See, I'm just saying once in a while I got one, you know so scientific perspective.
Speaker 3:While many people report positive effects from sound therapy, scientific research is ongoing. Some studies suggest that sound frequencies can influence brainwave activity, heart rate and other physiological processes, which may explain the calming and the healing effects. So you're just kind of communicating a different way. You know, we build our muscles, we meditate. We can also reach it in other ways too. It's cool, it's amazing, and this stuff has been around forever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, it's not like they, just that's what I'm saying. I know that's what makes it so interesting, because I've always been into that kind of stuff. You know what I mean. It's just to know that. You know, when you had the britannica encyclopedia for those who didn't know just real quick.
Speaker 1:I was watching someone was talking about and I looked up the commercial from the 90s oh my god with that guy. That guy he's like let me guess you're going to put a 1-800 number up. And the guy's like well, yes, I am. I remember that commercial it was.
Speaker 3:I remember that commercial though, and they were on all the time, especially when you were home sick from school.
Speaker 2:I know, bro, it was all the time because you had the soap operas.
Speaker 1:it was all the time because you had the soap operas, you know it was like oh man, don't forget, you gotta watch, price is Right, you're sick you gotta watch what Price is Right?
Speaker 2:yeah, absolutely yeah, drew Carey doing it now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's great stuff, man alright so now?
Speaker 2:so sound healing is, like you said, is an ancient healing method that has its origins all around the globe, including Egypt method. That has its origins all around the globe, including Egypt, india and China. So, if you look at how they meditate things that we've seen and, like I said, looking at reading what they found to be music, the sounds, the tones, Right from the pyramids, From the pyramids and stuff.
Speaker 2:That's proof that these are things like this is what makes us all go around. That's, that's proof that these are things like this is what makes us all go around. The in china, uh, in japan, they, they won't build a house if it's not sound, uh, if it's not put in the cheese, not, right? Oh, is this um feng shui?
Speaker 2:feng shui, feng shui I lost it, even though I read it right now. I'm sorry I lost it, but that is that feng shui and the feng shui has to be. For that type of building to be there, they have to be able to sit there like they have that priest's pieces.
Speaker 2:Right, I have that flow to be, right in wherever it is, because you have to. You have to. It has to melt with everything else you know to have that, that tone one with nature through it, and everything else with it so the rhythm yeah, this is. It's all something you know and, and it makes sense, how so many people right now, I guess, are out of whack. Does that make any sense? You know there's so much going on, not not just, just, there's so much going on.
Speaker 2:Everybody's busy, everybody's doing something well no, I'm talking about just how the flow of the earth is. We got the climate change and stuff like that?
Speaker 3:Oh right, I got you.
Speaker 2:Then that's throwing everything out of whack. Nothing is toned, tuned, sounding the way that it did 15, 20 years ago. You know what I'm saying? I believe that that's me, but I'm a little bit off my rocker, so you know.
Speaker 3:I couldn't say whether it does or not. I mean definitely the planet's not healthy. That's for sure? Yeah, I guess it would, but you could still get a lot of that stuff without the planet being, I mean you can get a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 2:You got to work on it. You got to do that, like the thing we were talking about with uh, animals and humans, you know they just tap into it naturally where we have to.
Speaker 3:You know we forget about it. You know we lose it somehow. So then we have to figure it out and get it and you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Like yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely reintroduce ourself with it, right, like the movie, the avatar. So they were one with everything, they were all one with each other. You know, the plants, the animals, the, the humanoids, yeah, the people, everything, the fish, just everything.
Speaker 1:They were all one, they lived together, they did everything as a yeah, they used to actually physically connect exactly yeah.
Speaker 2:So then, yeah, and you'd be one with them, exactly yeah. Then you know, I mean, granted for us we're not gonna get be there, but just that we can just yeah it's a good concept though oh, dude, it'd be great if again, you know it's like anything else, it's one of those movies that'd be cool as hell yeah you know and hook up to a to whatever animal and stuff and right, go fishing or go swimming in the ocean or fly in the you know, like a bird or whatever you know what do they call it awa?
Speaker 1:what's it? What was it?
Speaker 2:yeah, so you know it's one of those things. But yeah, sound therapy is, I believe should be, part of all therapy. Yeah, yeah, in some way shape or form. You know I said because like when we go for my massage, you know, I we're playing, there's music, you know, and lately we haven't been playing like that regular music and I've been playing more of the young light rock. You know a little bit of that and it's like I'm having better sessions as crazy as sounds, you know. I mean I'm like no, no, that's good and it's a mix, you know. So, yeah, you know like rock stuff, a little bit of the R&b or whatever sometimes she has the meditation stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, some of that, you know. So, depending on what it is that she feels, like the mood is, or that I feel the mood is for sure where we're at and I'm like I agree, this is good stuff right here and it's really really cool. And, like I said, listen only because now we're talking about it. I never would have, I never even thought about it. It's funny, bro. Every, every podcast that we do, I'm learning more about myself. You know what I mean, right, and like oh, that's a good idea, I tried that. Oh, that's a good idea, I tried it. I'm like, oh, this is great, because it's things I didn't pay attention to before, now realizing that I'm doing. You know, like I said, when I'm feeling funky, I listen to certain kind of music and it's that and I feel better, whether it's the memory or just like you said, that tone, music is therapeutic absolutely some days you need to listen to Kiss Alive 1.
Speaker 3:Some days you need to listen to some Howzer music Neil Diamond, you know what I mean. You need to listen to Kiss Alive 1. Some days you need to listen to some Hauser music, maybe, yeah, sometimes, you know some Neil Diamond.
Speaker 1:You got to blast that death metal.
Speaker 3:Then you got to drive home with the carpenters on, yeah, yeah no, that's that Some days.
Speaker 2:you just got to put some carefree, easy music.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, it depends on your.
Speaker 3:I like to just mix my stuff Like I like to have a variety. I have it all shuffled. I have enough music on it and it's a good combination, so I get a variety of different places and different things. If I want to listen, I usually stick to one Do you really See, I grew up with a very large range of music, I know, yeah, Like Sam, I'm listening to Dark Wave.
Speaker 3:I'll listen to Dark Wave yeah, if I'm gonna listen to so you want to throw the radio on just to listen to the radio, to listen to a regular rock station if I get sick of what I'm listening to.
Speaker 1:Oh, so I wanna listen to like at least four or five, even in your truck. Six or seven in your truck. Yeah, yeah, oh, wow, okay.
Speaker 3:It's not for me. I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1:I want to listen to like one type of music at a time. Because you know why? Because when the one song's over, I'm still feeling that groove.
Speaker 3:I want to listen to it. You know what I mean To me. I like the variety.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I put the song on three times in a row, if I like it.
Speaker 2:Let's keep it going. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1:That's an ADHD thing yeah.
Speaker 2:I like to listen to a shuffle of my stuff, because I have such a large range of things that I like to listen to.
Speaker 3:I like to change into different, and if I don't like it, I just hit forward and I just go to the next one.
Speaker 2:I go from Rock to R&B, to salsa, to merengue bachata, you know, to reggaeton, to hip hop.
Speaker 1:I like all different kinds of music, yeah, but I just when I want to listen to like one music at a time, like I don't want my foot touching on the plate you know this guy, I just want that's freaking, I guess yeah, no, I, I do.
Speaker 2:I found I saw a place in by the house in middletown and, uh, they were doing, they did the sound therapy. Yeah, I was thinking about trying to get up and get in there. Should give it a shot. Yeah, only because I just haven't had a chance to stop over there, right, like I had passed it and I'm like god keep forgetting. So I want to go over there and see what's good, that'd be really groovy to go in there and give that a shot. I do want to get in, like I said, because I got the nifty sound system in the house, right. I want to, um, you know, play it in my speakers and see what that sounds like. Yeah, because, uh, I said I got 15 and a half inch subwoofers so that I can get them to almost whatever. And then it's tweeters.
Speaker 1:Is this for your music or TV, or both?
Speaker 2:I didn't hook it up to the TV because if I watch that TV like that, forget about it, bro. The furniture moves as it is, we're just playing music. If I play TV on there, they're going to think that somebody's really getting shot in the house.
Speaker 1:I got the subwoofer too, but I don't have it turned up all the way.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, no See, I have to. Sometimes I'll turn it up all the way. It's like holy, yeah, no, it's a lot. Yeah, you got to get this chair so you can sit there, and it's like pushing on you.
Speaker 1:You know what's cool, you ever go to what movie theater. Is that Cinemark?
Speaker 2:I heard about it.
Speaker 1:They got the subwoofers in every fucking scene. Yeah, it's crazy, yeah.
Speaker 3:If it's good, I like it. If it's too rough, it's not too rough, but it's just enough where you feel it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's good. Yeah, what you got, lou, no.
Speaker 3:I was going to say you know it's funny. It's not only the sound stuff that does too. But you guys ever hear of grounding?
Speaker 2:yes, yes yes.
Speaker 3:I have where you can ground yourself to the planet, where it helps with anti-inflammatory right. It's supposed to have very beneficial for you to sleep. So I actually bought a sheet really that plugs into the ground. You plug it into the ground of your outlet. I've heard of it next to that and and I actually slept pretty decent, I actually slept pretty good. It was weird.
Speaker 1:Grounding is another thing. They actually for gardening. They sell special grounding rods to link them all together. It's crazy. Supposedly it works. There's people who do it, but also even they say walking barefoot is grounding.
Speaker 3:Right, yeah, if you go out in the yard in your grass, you can do it.
Speaker 1:They say it's supposed to really be good for you with therapeutic. Yeah, there's something to it, I mean some people will, I believe it's science, but I think there's something to it. You know, just because we can't measure something on a scale or have no way of right doesn't mean it's not actually happening right, because you do feel better after you walk on bare ice. It's a strange odd thing, yeah, right.
Speaker 2:I wonder if playing it off the phone because I don't have the speakers in my bedroom, I have them in my living room. I'm wondering. I think I have another speaker Play that in the house.
Speaker 3:You figure that out?
Speaker 2:when you go home. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, I think because I want to play, because it's saying so. The sound of to heal tissue is 285 hertz Nice. So I want to play it off of this to then. You know, I play it off of my phone. Oh for your anti-inflammatory and all that. Yeah, that makes sense, man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, ground to connect intellectual systems or devices to each uh, protect equipment and ensure safe operation. Psychological grounding techniques used to stay present and focus, often to use to manage stress and anxiety. Practices of grounding exercise like focusing on five senses. You know it's just a. It's amazing, what that would? You know how, how it helps uh health wise, being connected to the planet. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's really what it is, you know, allowing that flow to go through, you know.
Speaker 3:So, hey, listen, if it it's harmful, first of all, so you're not doing anything that's going to really hurt you, right? And if you think it's working and it's working, then then it's working. Yeah, you know, and then that's an innocent thing that you know, even if people called you a crackpot or something like that.
Speaker 1:Like I was like you know what I?
Speaker 3:kept seeing it online. I was like you know, and I looked it up and read about it and I'm like you know what I'm going to get one.
Speaker 2:So I told Donna to get me one for my right it works.
Speaker 1:It works. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, so, like you know, people will shut stuff down just because of their beliefs, right exactly?
Speaker 2:like say, lack of belief or lack, yeah, lack of knowledge yeah right, you know, whatever, yeah, exactly yeah, if it works for you, try it other than hurting anybody else.
Speaker 1:Just, you know exactly little therapy things and it's like people used to knock acupuncture for years yep but it works, yep so you know well, ancient chinese secret same thing.
Speaker 2:You know a lot of you said these tones, these, this, the whole sound therapy. Even american indians, native indians, they did that you know everything on the planet.
Speaker 3:They used everything right. They, they utilized everything. They didn't waste anything right but so and they respected, whatever it was that they for that time, obviously, but they had their powwows, and it was that right I think. But they also use hallucinogenics. Yeah, but they also use hallucinogenics as well.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, but I'm saying, but still, with all that it was that sound was a part of yeah, no, but that all helped, but that all they put all that together.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. So it saying so it wasn't only just the sound, but they were using the sound and the dancing, and the fire and all the colors, and then hey, let's do a little mescaline. Let's see what happens. You know, let's get the party started, yeah, you know some tobacco and got a buzz you know Right.
Speaker 1:That's true, that's where like a peace pipe that came from the.
Speaker 3:Native Americans gonna have a power. Yeah, pass the peace pipe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, pass the peace pipe, yeah, yeah but. And it said all that stuff together. You know there were things that we have to remember, that are for us right, that we need to do for us because we have lost touch with so many, uh, holistic healings.
Speaker 3:actually, I think the opposite, honestly, because you see, so I think, with social media, everything at least what I'm getting on mine is there's so much out there that I'm getting from my back. I'm getting for, uh, for, whether it's vitamins or it's just stuff with the Alzheimer's, because I put a lot of that on our page, on our Facebook, so I try to do as much health stuff and holistic.
Speaker 2:But when was the last time you did it? So let's say you're doing it now and you're posting it or whatever Before, let's say the last after the past five years you've been doing it before that I was. You didn't really, you weren't that kind of in tune with it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I just had it on mine.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, so you've always yeah.
Speaker 3:So, whatever I had on mind, I was always interested in that stuff, okay, but I know that's being interesting but I don't think that enough people are doing it.
Speaker 2:I think nowadays I think more.
Speaker 3:I think it's not even about getting back, I think it's people are you know, you see it. And then, of course, people have to have their other stuff. You know that. You know some are doing a good job of it and some of them not. Some are taking advantage of the things that the planet offers and, yeah, we can tap into that. That's probably the best thing we could do. Obviously, you know, nobody's saying you don't go to the doctor and get yourself checked oh no, yeah, always get checked out, of course you do that.
Speaker 3:But I'm saying in general hey, use whatever works, as long as it's not going to kill you right, yeah you know, that's what I say I'm, I'm, I'm, I really want to try.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going to look it up and I said, uh, try the tones and stuff like that to go to sleep with the you know different kind of different white noises.
Speaker 3:So when you get home tomorrow, you get home, get up in the morning, you can do some earthing. That's what it's called yeah get. Go barefoot, go outside, make sure there's no dogs went where you're going to walk all right, this is direct contact, and natural services like grass, soil or sand can help you ground your body.
Speaker 3:Walking barefoot on these services is thought to help reduce inflammation and improve overall health. Using grounding mats or sheets, these products are designed to mimic the effect of direct earth contact by connecting to the ground through conductive materials. So, yeah, I slept better when I was on it. Honestly.
Speaker 2:And you had it on your bed.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we had it on our bed, it was just a little ground. It went in the ground. That was it.
Speaker 2:Oh, you mean in the ground and it snapped to the sheets.
Speaker 3:So the sheets had whatever was in there in order for me to for the ground to be transferred to the sheets. I don't know if it's what type of material they use, but it's to help with the grounding.
Speaker 3:So you're grounding, so yeah, you know so I'm a geek, weirdo kind of like that. I always liked that health stuff. I was always intrigued by that kind of stuff because I always thought that you know that you can be you know if you want it. You know, listen, some people go to the extreme. They do it all. Right, that is so into it. You know what I mean. Some of us, you know, if we get some of you do it, you have your own certain things you do, right, yeah, sure, as far as you know, you're watching now how you know how much you eat, what you're eating, right, you know, and obviously you're vegan. So you got you know, you, you do that as well, and more whole food plant-based.
Speaker 1:Now right, which is like less of the processed stuff right or less of the mock meats. I'm doing more. You know like, uh, like, I make a lentil stew, serve it with rice or quinoa, right, I don't do brown rice yet, though. Yeah whatever.
Speaker 3:But I'm saying but you're just the fact that you're doing all this stuff is what matters.
Speaker 3:I mean, everybody has their own way of going about it, you know you know people suggest stuff for you and say, hey, have you ever tried this? You know, like I have the inversion table right, I love that thing every night. I make sure I go on that thing every night before I go to bed. It's because it's just, it feels good, it helps get the blood flow, supposed to be helpful for your circulation. You know, um, you stretch, you let your body, your your spine to expand and, you know, open up a little bit. You know, because you're compressed all day. So that's the main thing. You know, either we sit, we're driving or we're walking, so you need to kind of all these little things. The trampoline, that's also super healthy for you. You know what I mean. All those things. You know general. You know what else I found out. That's really good for you. You wouldn't believe it, but I don't know why I, for some reason, I just said what about walking backwards? Do you know how good walking backwards is for you?
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, and how?
Speaker 3:often. They use it through therapy and everything. Yeah, they say you should do it more often and make it part of your routine. When you exercise and walk backwards, it's very helpful for you. You do it when you go to the gym right, you run backwards or you do your things, or they make you do it in physical therapy if you hurt your leg or something like that, to kind of tone it up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Never even thought about super healthy for you man. I've even thought about it because you're, because when you're walking you're using a lot of your hamstrings, mainly your hamstrings. Use your quadriceps, I mean use all your muscles, but like use more on one side. So when you go, walk backwards using more of the opposite end of your muscles.
Speaker 2:That makes sense yeah, never even thought about that. Yeah, never even thought about that improves balance and coordination.
Speaker 3:Walking backward engages different muscles, like tom just said, and can enhance overall balance and coordination, helping to improve gait and stable uh, gait and stability, I apologize enhance cognitive functions. It can stimulate the brain activity by requiring you to pay more attention to movements and surrounding potential, improving cognitive functions and spatial awareness. Now, I know I remember this because dr love on instagram mentioned this. It's good for alzheimer's as well as um a dementia. So that's something you may want you now you say something with your dad not to say god, knock on wood that hopefully that's not what's going on, but it doesn't hurt to add these things to your thing. So right.
Speaker 3:So walking backwards would be helpful because now it's going to force him to think about what it is he's doing, help put his balance strength of only his mind, but his body as well, you know, and his awareness, you know. But, yeah, you know, but I, I was, I was, um, amazed by it. Like, reduce stress for your joints. For some, walking backwards can reduce stress on the knees and hips compared to forward walking, potentially alleviating some of the drugs. That makes sense, because that's all we do. We never really walk back. It's backwards when you think about it unless you step out of the way for somebody, yeah, you need to move backwards but you're not doing it.
Speaker 3:So you know, I was thinking I want to do it in my neighborhood. So I'm going to get my all my sweatsuit stuff and just bug the neighbors out and just start walking backwards. Do like laps, do like five. You know, like four laps, you know what I mean. Like you know the mile you're on the track, like no. But you know I'm gonna put the headband on you know like.
Speaker 1:No, I would just be creepy about it. I would like, like, as if I'm looking, look like.
Speaker 3:I would make it look like I'm reversing no, no, I won't need to go that far. Trust me, that's what that alone, just alone, me doing that, just going. They would be looking out the window, going what the hell there's nothing better than that.
Speaker 1:I know, man, this is great yeah.
Speaker 2:It's absolutely better. I would put my clothes on backwards, oh yeah, but you're gonna Dress in tracks too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, put the tracks on backwards Is what I'm saying, right, crazy.
Speaker 2:So with that, that was our holistic Sound healing stuff. Yeah, you know A little bit of a mix, like I said.
Speaker 3:I like to do Some of that stuff Because it's helpful and you know we're all a little bit Geeky with that kind of thing. So, you know Anyway.
Speaker 2:We'll give it a shot, people. That being said, I'm going to give it a shot, definitely tonight, because I've had a long day, so I'm definitely going to give that a shot. So, with that love, peace and hair grease, live long and prosper.
Speaker 1:Go Beacon. Yeah, what'd you do Boo?
