Music

[Vanessa]

How come music can change our frequency so easily? And why is it so easy to store memories with music?

This is an excellent question!

I have wondered this myself and I really don't know but I think it may indicate that at our core we must be vibratory entities at a fundamental level.

Ah, but is it the music which is changing your "frequency"?  Or is it your association of what the music means to you which changes your "frequency"?

There was a study done decades ago where individuals from various cultures around the world were hooked up to brainwave monitors and their response to various types of music measured.

Responses to a piece of music were nearly identical across all cultures. Even remote cultures that were wayyy off the grid and had never heard most of the music/sound they were exposed to showed the same universal responses.

I think vibration is a very important thing in our selfs. Music goes there thats why we have so strong feelings with music.

It'd be interesting to know which music they were using for those tests.
There are pleasant sounds to listen to and illicit a positive response regardless of what part of the world you're in.

The difference I find is when someone here on the Pulse says they meditate to heavy metal or something like that.
THEY find the sounds relaxing... while, it would just grind on my nerves. LOL

Yes, I have heard that on several venues. I do not think they are aware of what is ideally happening in meditation. I understand how listening to metal music can be a certain type of release and relaxation. Back in the day, I remember listening to Jethro Tull at the end of the day and getting a stress release response. And my brother too, told me he would listen to Jethro Tull -- particularly 'Pibroch/Cap in Hand' when his teenage kids were stressing him out. I think it has 'escape' value. Maybe sounds like that help to unplug and hit the reset button. But I think there is no way it would help move the brainwaves down towards the Delta/4Hz region.

Pachelbel's Canon in D on the other hand, is like Valium in audio form.

As I recall the study used a range of sounds from melodic strings & woodwinds to Asian flute music to Middle Eastern styles to rock n roll with heavy syncopated drumbeats

 Music in movies is made just for this this purpose. Every musical score in a movie is used to create "emotion".

Here is a composer that is a "Master" at his craft. Each song creates not only a memory, but also the emotion you felt in the movie when you heard it. It is also a great video to just lie back and "notice" to.

I listen to soundtracks everyday while I work. Such a great escape. They really do create powerful emotions and make your day exciting. I love the ones from the epic movies. Of course The Lord of the Rings is my all time favorite.

"The greatest soundtracks from movie and TV of the 21st century, IMHO. Artists include Hans Zimmer, John Willams, Howard Shore, Ramin Djawadi, Two Steps from Hell, Audiomachine and more."

Wow -- Perhaps the all time best is not on that 'more' list because he is of the 20th century

IMHO, Ennio Morricone is a most notable Master of this craft - he did the Clint Eastwood flicks and The Mission among others;

For anyone intrigued by the exploration of the relationship of music, frequency and consciousness, I can suggest an oddly attractive UK film about an alternate reality world with somewhat varied physics from ours; it's a romance with a couple good twists in it and a unique adventure.

By coincidence, it is simply called Frequencies.

I really want to see that movie.

It's a odd movie and has been on Showtime quite a bit lately. Actually it's been on continually for about 2 months now. I watched it a couple of months ago myself. But I see it in the listings often.

The complex time signatures of Fripp and Eno are something to experience. They change slowly and are great for meditation too.  
They brought out some vynals eons ago called ambience as a set. It's these I'm referring to.
