Looking for a Shortcut to Bliss…?

Looking for a Shortcut to Bliss…?

Are you interested in finding a direct pathway to an elevated state of consciousness? We’ve touched on the benefits of meditation before and explored some of the ways you can gain access to a deeper, lasting sense of inner calm. But one of the methods that’s attracting more attention these days is the use of specific sound frequencies. Perhaps you’ve come across this technique before. They’re known today as the Solfeggio Frequencies and have been used in sacred as well as classical music for thousands of years. The idea is based on the notion that each frequency resonates within the various levels of human consciousness and, whilst lacking in any modern scientific validation, people claim that the music is deeply relaxing and soothing. The tradition of using sound as a medium for healing was known to Pythagoras, though he did not claim to be the founder of the system. If there’s any validity to the premise that everything is connected, then it makes sense that we are all sensitive to the influence of sound and that different frequencies will produce predictable results within the frame of our consciousness.

The subject was re-visited in the 1970s and led to an expansion of the system that has become popular in New Age circles. In the Ayurvedic tradition, each discrete frequency is associated with one of the main chakras or energy centres that connect the various energy levels of the human organism. Sacred chanting though has been around for much longer than the New Age movement and was developed as a deliberate attempt to align our bodies and our minds with higher levels of consciousness. It’s interesting that the techniques and the results were noted across a wide variety of cultures. The concept is not new.

Relaxing with a comfortable pair of headphones and enjoying the effects of the different frequencies could provide you with a very enjoyable experience and a shortcut to a deeper state of relaxation. Since the highest frequency in the system is associated with the divine, perhaps you will discover the ultimate in human experience and achieve enlightenment. Let me know if you get there! I suspect that most of us are still searching for this state of illumination but anything that helps us to discard the layers of delusion that conceal our true nature is worth exploring. And a system that is so deeply relaxing should be respected as a beautiful antidote to the stress that so many people are experiencing today. Try it and let me know how you feel. It could be a natural shortcut on the pathway to inner bliss.
