This also makes me think of resonance. Our opinion of good vibrations verse not good vibrations is also led by our relative resonance with different sounds. My husband is a musician and he resonates with deep bass sounds. I often find these heavy and tiring to listen to, where he feels intense energy from the sound. On the other hand, I often listen to a Krishna Das cd when I drive because it calms my mind and helps me relax.
I also wonder about resonance with mothers and their children. When my nephew cries in his crib, my sister becomes consumed with a need to go pick him up. I recognize his cry but do not have the same resonance with his cry.
Throughout the ages, tuning was something organic and relative, now that we have computers to tune instruments, I wonder if some of the healing power is lost?
It's interesting that you bring up the mother and child resonance - when my son was first born, and we were still in the hospital, I could hear his cry and pick it out from all the others even though he was down the hall from my room and in the nursery with all the other babies, and I was never surprised when the nurses brought him to me shortly after I heard him cry...
ReplyDeleteThat is fascinating. When my sister had her baby, we walked down the hall and we heard some crying and my sister said "That's my Tommy" and of course it was. There was no way I could have known but for sure mother knows her baby. That's beautiful.
