Experiences with Sound - Part II
Monday, May 3rd, 2010Another one of my earlier experiences with sound happened when I was living in an apartment and my plants were not doing well. It was winter, and the gas heat quickly dried them out. They were yellowing and sickly looking. After I had been chanting for about a week or two, I suddenly noticed the plants located close to where I sat to chant were looking vibrant, healthy, and happy. The plants that were farther looked better, but not as good as the plants close to me.
This made me wonder about the impact of chanting on the human body. If it could help the plants so quickly, then what could it do for us humans? Spirit has a wonderful way of answering my questions, and making things happen. One of my client’s became rather ill and wanted to see me. He had having an upset stomach and much nausea. I was doing an energy work session on him and I could feel that nothing was happening. Spirit told me to chant. In the past, whenever I brought up my new practice of chanting, my client was not interested and was actually opposed to the idea, so I didn’t want to bring it up. But spirit kept nudging me to ask him if I could chant with him in the room to help him feel better. I finally gave in and got up the courage to ask him, and he was feeling so poorly that he said OK. I was embarrassed because I am not a singer and my voice would crack from my mouth getting dry. So, I didn’t chant more than 15 minutes at a time. I was amazed when he told me how remarkable he felt after such a short period of time. He no longer had any symptoms of the upset stomach or feeling like he wanted to vomit. He also told me he had a spontaneous rebirth experience, which he explained that meant he had a sudden clearing of some very old issues. Hhhhmmm. So now I had not just the plants responding in a positive way, but also a human being. This was becoming more and more interesting.
