Indian Classical Notes and Sound Healing Elements

There are 12 notes in an Octave, they are:

Sa – Sudha

Re – Komal

Re – Sudha

Ga – Komal

Ga – Sudha

Ma – Sudha

Ma – Tevr

Pa – Sudha

Dha – Komal

Dha – Sudha

Ni – Komal

Ni – Sudha

There are 4 Komal Notes and one Tevr Note.

There are five elements.

So a Thaat or a Raga that contains any one Komal tune corresponds to Earth Element. Since this is the lower astral element so any one komal note can bring in the balance in the earth element.

For eg: Raag Shivaranjni that has Ga Komal. But it should have either Re Komal or Ga Komal , since it is related to lower astral element.

For Water element Re and Ga, both should be komal, to solve this.

For eg: Raag

Komal tune is refered as comma, so Re, = Re Komal. And Tvr as ^, so Ma Tevr = Ma^.

Re, or Ga,	Earth
Re, And Ga,	Water
Re, Ga, and Dha,	Fire
Ga, Dha, Ni,	Fire
Re, Ga, Dha, Ni,	Air
Ma^	Space

Sound And Music therapy for High Blood Pressure

High Blood Pressure occurs due to anxiety. When we are stressed out and take tension due to the issues we face in our day to day life and want to come out of it. The issues related to office, home, family, friends, children, or anything that puts us in stress.

Remember Stress is not bad but if you keep holding on that stress then it is sure you will be a High Blood Pressure patient. It is said, that if you hold a glass of water for 1 minute with your hand straight, it won’t do any harm, but if same thing you keep holding it for a complete day, then think what will happen. Same is with stress, if you thing for 1 minute it will cause no harm. But if you are holding on to it, then you are stressed.

As we know that there are five basic elements that we work upon. They are Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. All the ailments therefore are compared and linked with these five elements. If one of the elements is not in balance, then the ailment occurs.

In this case, since it’s the stress and High Blood Pressure, this is linked with the pressure in the body, and hence Water element. In this case the water element is higher than the normal and since there is anxiety and stress occurring due to small or big reason, so the person is not settled down in its own. Hence its Earth element that corresponds to how much the person is self-contended and settled, so the earth element is less than the normal. Thus we have to reduce the water element little and the increase the earth element, to bring both of them to a normal range.

To show this in the tabular format:

High Blood Pressure

Water element is More and Earth Element is less .

To heal this we need to look in to both the sound treatments involving Water and Earth. So before that lets look in to some aspects of the above two elements.

20 Minutes Sound Bath - Magical Treatment for many Aliments.

Sound and Music healing is a form of therapy that is helping many people who need to be alright with the ailments that have stopped them to live their lives as they were living earlier, even though taking all the medicines still sometimes we feel that we have not recovered completely and that is the time we require something more than just medicines. Here is the time when alternate therapy plays an important role in a patient’s life to make him recover from the ailment.

There exists many a therapy that are proving to be beneficial now, during the treatment and helping people to change and live happily. One of them is surely Sound Therapy and Music Therapy that helps in many ways and solves many aliments in its own way.

Everyone will agree to this that hearing some sounds and/or music, we do observe some change in us. If we hear some haunting sounds we feel afraid and if we hear some soothing music we are joyful. This brings in the fundamental of the sound therapy that helps the therapist as well as the patient to receive and give the sound therapy to its best.

When we are hearing to a bhajan our heads automatically swings with the song and the music that is played, but when we hear a rocking song, then our whole body starts dancing to the tune. This is the time when I would say that we are taking a ‘Sound Bath’. When our mind our body and our soul all the three connect to each other with that sound we are receiving the sound therapy aptly.

20 minutes is a very perfect time to be in the receiving stage to get the sound bath. It is up to the therapist to understand the problem of the patient, and which type of sound therapy is to be given for those 20 minutes. It can also include other therapies along with sound therapy to make it more beneficial and effective. There are some aliments that can be healing in one sitting but in some cases more sittings would be required.

I will post specific sound therapies for the specific aliments for you to know more about it. So please keep reading my posts and give your comments so that we can move ahead in this direction properly and make this world a happier place to live in.
