Healing Tones

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14)

THERE WAS A SAYING when I was a youngster that when we die our souls ascend unto heaven where we are given a harp and a cloud upon which to sit and play heavenly music. As I matured and came into my field of service as a holistic healer and Attunement practitioner, that belief became a metaphor for the reality of the musical, or vibrational, nature of our incarnating human capacities, our “harps.” Our clouds are our spirit-generated pneumaplasmic fields. In season, and after much exploration, study and practice, I put together a workshop and compiled a manual to teach the art of what I came to call “Attunement With Sacred Sound ~ The magical use of sound in energy work and healing.” Here is the tone-setting piece in my manual . . . which eventually evolved into a book by the same name:

Setting the Tone

I believe in the very core of my soul that music is the essence of life.  For it can lift the heart to heaven’s gate and open this portal to love’s outpouring blessing.  And in the midst of that blessing we find our Self standing upright and beautiful, singing a magnificent world into being, where harmony, rhythm and melody blend together to create perfection and balance in every form… and especially in this human form that gives heart, mind, voice and flesh to God on Earth.  In these instruments we have the tools and the technology that connect heaven and earth and thereby bring the Music of the Spheres into this world to create all things new. This I believe passionately with every fiber of my being.

Here’s a partial listing of the topics I consider in my book:

PART I: THE PRINCIPLES OF ATTUNEMENT AND SACRED SOUND: Harmonics and the Golden Mean Ratio ~ Creating A Unified Sacred Sound Field ~ The Creative Dynamics of Light and Sound ~ Cell Replication in a Musical Matrix of Light ~ The Healing Elements of Sacred Sound

PART II: CREATING SACRED SOUND: Listening to the Silence ~ The Power of Voice and Breath ~ Language and Thought: Matrix of Creation ~ Energy Follows Thought ~ Clothing Spiritual Substance with Words ~ Exercises in Finding, Placing and Developing Your Voice ~ The Healing Aspects of Voice ~ Toning Sacred Vowel Sounds ~ The Power of Your Name ~ Toning to Resolve Dissonant Energy ~ Sacred Sound Instruments

PART III: ATTUNING THE CHAKRAS AND ENDOCRINE CENTERS: Opening Ritual Space ~ Attuning and Balancing Energy Anatomy ~ Grounding the Body’s Energy Field ~

PART IV: TONING MYSTICAL WORDS ~ Using Ancient Prayers and God Names ~ Mantras and Chants ~ Om — Matrix Of All Creation ~ The Healing Hum.

APPENDICES: Introduction to Attunement Technique ~ Steps of Ascent ~ The Elements of Music & Sound ~ The Aramaic Prayer of Jesus ~ Healing Yourself With Your Voice ~ The Music of Life ~ Cymatics ~ A Vision of Things to Come

I was honored and very pleased to have had Music Master PenDell Pittman, dear friend and Attunement colleague, write the Foreword of my book, which he entitled “Oneness with the Ocean of Motion.” Here’s an excerpt from his substantial contribution:

The book you now hold in your hands, Attunement with Sacred Sound, by fellow musician and Attunement practitioner, Dr. Anthony Palombo, provides a pivotal revelation about the phenomenal connection you and I have to the powerfully grand energies of all creation. The seeming platitude that states, “We are all one,” or “We are one with everything,” is quite true, in fact! Keep reading and you will discover more about just how profoundly this is the case.

Dr. Anthony Palombo (“Tony”) and I have known each other for almost 40 years. Never has there been a time, in my observation, when Tony has not exhibited a conscious attitude that consistently recognizes the connection between “heaven and earth” (the intangible and the tangible, if you will), a core kinship between all people, and the resonance that entrains throughout all of “creation”, with its infinite components. His is a noble stance and vision, to be sure, but why is it relevant to us now? Because, if we are to receive the full spectrum of learning, guidance, and inspiration from studying this book – a work that, I believe, largely distills (without coming close to fully biographing) Tony’s life’s work – we will find ourselves adopting that same outlook as he has – one filled with awe, wonder, discovery, and a sense of privilege to know and work in this precious, delicate, and, dare I say, sacred field. . . .

. . . . The practice of Attunement, as so ably and comprehensively introduced by Tony in this book, helps enrich the sacred resonance of our capacities with the Creator, while helping remove dissonance from the creative fields that penetrate and surround us. Whereas “sound therapy” alone uses the relatively slow-moving (though miraculous) realm of sound itself as the source of upliftment, the overall Attunement process engages a much wider (potentially infinite), higher-frequency spectrum of harmonics, one that encompasses the range of audible sound, plus so much more, while differentiating itself through countless, simultaneous Life processes. Sound healing, and any other process that is in resonance with Spirit, is a harmonious aspect of that Spirit substance, and therefore provides, at least to some extent, a resonant field for the energy and blessings of that Spirit.

Sound acts as a carrier wave of sorts for the Attunement current — toning and amplifying the emanations of the endocrine glands, relaxing and entraining the nervous systems, clearing the mind, soothing emotions, and helping one to release various resonances with external stresses. The playing of sustained sound also can be used by an experienced practitioner as an instrument to amplify his or her perceptions. As the sonic and “Spirit” ranges of energy entrain together during an Attunement session, their synergy — true to the Law of the Octave — also activates harmonics in all frequency ranges, from the infinitely high to the infinitely deep.

We are literally moving in harmonic resonance, in attunement, with all of Creation. We not only live in the “universal ocean of motion”, but we play radiantly conscious roles in the flow of its Currents, as we allow our every action to entrain with the infinitely high and deep Tones of the Creator. We are an integral part of the Cosmic Symphony, for sure. Let’s join Tony now, for an in-depth expose of just how integral we really are!
