Sound has an immense creative force. It is a primary component of molecular energy and affects matter; therefore, it has a huge impact on the landscape of the world within us and without us. Since time immemorial it has been believed that sound is at the center of creation and shapes the universe in which we live. Place yourself for a moment in the authentic truth of your birth – in a sense, your first creative act -. Upon entering the world, your first independent act was to breathe, and then to produce a sound, the sound of your creation. Since then, every time you have produced a sound you have recreated yourself!
Over the centuries we have developed an understanding of the transformative power of sound and have come to understand how sound, as a living force, also has the ability to transmute life. It can transform our thoughts and feelings, and with it the very substance and state of our bodies. As a simple illustration of this idea, think how terribly harsh the sound of a hammer or a car honking can be when it startles us into a moment of personal reflection. This radical understanding has led scientists to explore new horizons, such as the development of sound wave instruments that have the power to transform cellular energy and thereby heal the human body.
However, of all the existing sounds, in my opinion the most powerful is that of the human voice. Its living force, which breathes and creates, gives us the ability to make amazing changes in our thoughts and feelings, in our creations and constructions. For the power of our voice crystallizes thought and, therefore, its energy can be used to transmute our external appearance, our attitude, our beliefs, our creativity and our physical presence; transform our lives.
