Healing Planet Gongs and Harmonic Medicine

The word resonance comes from the Latin word resonantia, which means to echo. To resonate means to reinforce or prolong a particular vibration in one location by the use of a similar vibration in another location. The principle of resonance can be applied to the field of medicine (such as the application of ultrasound to facilitate muscle healing) and even spiritual growth because all objects are themselves resonators, that is, they both transmit and respond to specific frequencies of vibration.

Human beings are vibrating media made up of pulse, form and wave. Some people tend to identify more with their form aspect or physical body. However, once recognizing the constantly emanating waves and receiving pulses, one can reorient towards vibration. In addition, instruments can be used to address particular emotional and physical concerns.

Paiste Planet gongs are unique and beautiful instruments designed with the assistance of physicist Hans Cousto. He measured the orbital frequencies of the planetary bodies in our solar system and transferred that information into gongs which emit pitches the human ears can discern. Each gong has a different character and sends a different harmonic profile. Groups individual sessions are customized by the therapist, using Paiste planet gongs, Tibetan bowls, tuning forks, rattles and other instruments employed to facilitate change, move and flow of internal vibration leading to a more whole state of resonance.

Tuning forks provide a non-invasive treatment that is similar to acupuncture but, without using needles. Specially- calibrated tuning forks are applied to specific acupuncture and acupressure points to access the body's meridian and chakra energy systems. These tuning forks represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Earth, Moon, Sun and planets. Their rich resonance and vibration connects with and supports the body's natural frequencies and brings us into alignment. The tuning fork is struck on and then placed on or near the body or held near the ears. The sound waves of the forks vibrate and travel deeply into the body along energy pathways, affecting human physiology and reaching places not easily accessed by traditional medicine. Applying the forks stimulates and balances the body's physical and subtle energy field to promote healing and inner harmony. Listening to the forks speaks to us deeply by connecting with our vestibular system, within the inner ear canal, and accessing our sense of motion, balance, space, memory, and healing (excerpted from www.acutonics.com).
