violence in humans a social taboo



Rory Miller discusses the taboo subject of the capacity for violence in humans.  The host is rewilder Daniel Vitalis.  This is a fascinating and very pertinent issue for these times.  I love the part where they discuss the benefits of awareness.  It is great to be focussed on the good and what we want and open to opportunities on this level but genuine awareness will not filter out alerts about the safety of either ourselves or our loved ones.  We have been told by some that the world is a fearful place and we should just respond with love.  Love is great, but the antidote to fear is courage.

eclipse on dartmoor



The solar eclipse coincided with a supermoon when the moon is at its closest to the earth (known as perigee) and also the spring equinox, when the days become longer than the nights in the northern hemisphere.  There was an utterly mystical atmosphere on Dartmoor, a sense of auspiciousness.   As we drove back towards Totnes and the sunlight returned we realised how low the light had been.
It reminded me of viewing the solar eclipse in Devon in August 1999.  There was a sense of something big changing but it was hard to pinpoint at the time.  On hindsight it was obvious.  it included a rapid development and increasing speed in information exchange and communications between people through fast changing and spreading technology.  Through this global link up knowledge is spreading to a point where I feel we are on the verge of a massive shift in awareness and actually experience of reality also social change, signalled by this 2015 eclipse.  Also we realise we need to embrace a whole solution for the woes of humanity, nothing partial will work any more.  As individuals we can play our individual roles in our specialist areas, whilst still embracing this whole solution.

Since the eclipse my life has turned upside down in unexpected ways.  However these changes are really catapulting me into the work I should really be doing, focussing on retreats in nature and providing  opportunities for healing for those damaged by the circumstances inflicted upon them so they can play their role too.  I will be back with more on this.  For people already signed up to Edenic States I can only apologise for the delay in starting regular mailings.  I have been doing a  lot of preparatory work. If you want to hear more about retreats and knowledge about how to get into a better feeling state please sign up on the left hand side of this blog.  I am also starting  a non profit venture for healing retreats, also ongoing sense of community, for those who are battered by life and need to heal and reset in order to make a contribution to society.  Please contact me at holly@foodforconsciousness.co.uk if you are interested in this project.

devon green lanes

So wonderful to get out walking in the lanes and admire the magical hills of South Hams.  The new greens beginning to emerge, the March fresh air in lanes where people don't think to go is much more exhilarating than a photograph of still bare hedges can show!  I am certain now that the neurophone enhances appreciation of nature as well as all the other wonderful things it does, and not just for me either...
Lizzy in the lane


Enjoying finding more edible greens such as this pennywort in the hedge.  I will be teaching about foraging for wild greens and connecting to plant life on our cleansing retreat in April.

wild garlic leaves and spring in devon with the goddess

I remember a time when I thought nature was just a beautiful backdrop to my life before I realised you could have an ecstatic connection with the Earth.  A goddess who believes in you rather than a god you have to believe in ...how about that :)...(paraphrased from John Lash)

432 Hz music

For me the difference between 432Hz and 440Hz music is simply stunning. The former makes my heart sing (if I like the piece!) ; the latter just jars! Another mystery unravelled! Music is meant to be heavenly!  I have clipped more of the story from four websites below.  There is also lots of 432Hz music to listen to on youtube.



To understand the healing power behind 432Hz, you must first learn about another frequency, 8Hz. It is said that 8Hz is the fundamental “beat” of the planet. The heartbeat of the Earth is better known as Schumann resonance and is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann, who documented it mathematically in 1952.
Schumann resonance is a global electromagnetic resonance, which has its origin in electrical discharges of lightning within the cavity existing between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere. This cavity resonates with electromagnetic waves in the extremely low frequencies of approximately 7.86Hz – 8Hz.
The “ordinary” thought waves created by the human brain range from 14Hz to 40Hz. This range only includes certain types of dendrites belonging to brain cells, predominantly within the left (the more rational) hemisphere of the brain, which is the center of activity.
If the two hemispheres of our brain are synchronized with each other at 8Hz, they work more harmoniously and with a maximum flow of information. In other words, the frequency of 8Hz seems to be the key to the full and sovereign activation potential of our brain.
8Hz is also the frequency of the double helix in DNA replication. Melatonin and Pinoline work on the DNA, inducing an 8Hz signal to enable metosis and DNA replication. A form of body temperature superconductivity is evident in this process.

Let’s explore the experiential difference between A=440 Hz and A=432 Hz. The noticeable difference music lovers and musicians have noticed with music tuned in A=432 Hz is that it is not only more beautiful and harmonious to the ears, but it also induces a more inward experience that is felt inside the body at the spine and heart. Music tuned in A=440 Hz was felt as a more outward and mental experience, and was felt at the side of the head which projected outwards. Audiophiles have also stated that A=432hz music seems to be non-local and can fill an entire room, whereas A=440hz can be perceived as directional or linear in sound propagation.

http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/12/21/heres-why-you-should-convert-your-music-to-432hz/

“The ancients tuned their instruments at an A of 432 Hz instead of 440 Hz – and for a good reason. There are plenty of music examples on the internet that you can listen to, in order to establish the difference for yourself. Attuning the instrument to 432 Hz results in a more relaxing sound, while 440 Hz slightly tenses up to body. This is because 440 Hz is out of tune with both macrocosmos and microcosmos. 432 Hz on the contrary is in tune. To give an example of how this is manifested microcosmically: our breath (0,3 Hz) and our puls (1,2 Hz) relate to the frequency of the lower octave of an A of 432 Hz (108 Hz) as 1:360 and 1:90.” – innergarden.org

Most music worldwide has been tuned to 440 hertz since the International Standards Organization (ISO) endorsed it in 1953. The recent rediscoveries of the vibratory / oscillatory nature of the universe indicate that this contemporary international concert pitch standard may generate an unhealthy effect or anti-social behavior in the consciousness of human beings. A=432 Hz, known as Verdi’s ‘A’ is an alternative tuning that is mathematically consistent with the universe. Music based on 432 Hz transmits beneficial healing energy, because it is a pure tone of math fundamental to nature.

 The Healing Energy of 432Hz, The Tone of Nature

 A=432 Hz, known as Verdi's 'A' is an alternative tuning that is mathematically consistent with the universe. Music based on 432Hz transmits beneficial healing energy, because it is a pure tone of math fundamental to nature.

According to Brain T. Collins, a musician and researcher, the standard pitch (A=440 Hz) does not harmonize on any level that corresponds to cosmic movement, rhythm, or natural vibration.

The greatest musicians, such as Mozart and Verdi, based their music on the natural vibration of A=432. It's true that it is only 8 vibrations per second different from the standard tuning, but this small difference seems to be remarkable to our human consciousness.

There's a growing musical and metaphysical movement for recovering optimal integrity in the music industry and spirituality through the 432Hz tuning.

In April 2008 Dutch journalist Richard Huisken founded the 'back to 432 Hz' committee, claiming that this original tuning was used in ancient cultures and is found on antique instruments like the Stradivarius violin.


The healing benefits


According to Richard Huisken, music tuned to 432 Hz is softer and brighter, giving greater clarity and is easier on the ears.

Many people experience more meditative and relaxing states of body and mind when listening to such music. The natural musical pitch of the universe gives a more harmonic and pleasant sound than 440 Hz.

432 Hz seems to work at the heart chakra, "the feeling", and therefore could have a good influence on the spiritual development of the listener. Some people who are not able to distinguish the 8hz difference claim they can feel the music warmer due to the longer wavelength.


For me the difference between 432 Hz and 440Hz is simply stunning. The former makes my heart sing; the latter just jars. Another mystery nravelled! I have some clipped some more of the story from three websites below.

Because 432 Hz gives a greater clarity than 440 Hz, there's less need to play it as loud as 440 Hz.

This means less hearing damage, as long as you put the volume not too high. Furthermore there's also less noise pressure. Researchers and musicians, such as Coreen Morsink (pianist and music teacher), report that they feel calmer, happier and more relaxed when playing music at 432Hz.

Music based on this natural tone is more transparent, more marked, gives an obvious musical picture and the overtones and undertones moves more freely. Music based on 440 Hz represents stuffed emotions and blocked energy. By lowering the pitch by just 8 Hz, you became more flexible and spontaneous.

The 432 Hz tuning releases your energy and takes you into a beautiful state, where relaxation is natural.

Where does it come from?

According to Ananda Bosman, international researcher and musician, archaic Egyptian instruments that have been unearthed are largely tuned to A=432Hz. Ancient Greeks tuned their instruments predominantly to 432Hz.

Within the archaic Greek Eleusinian Mysteries, Orpheus is the god of music, death and rebirth, and was the keeper of the Ambrosia and the music of transformation.

His instruments were tuned at 432Hz.

Guiseppe Verdi, an Italian composer, placed A exactly at 432 Hz. He did this because this tuning is ideal for opera voices.

Jamie Buturff, sound researcher, found out that some Tibetan monks used this tuning in their hand-made instruments. He put a CD with Tibetan singing bowls into his player and used a Korg tuner to discover that the bowls were all harmonic to the 432 music scale.
