a sound is something

emotions, memories,

13
00:01:20,279 --> 00:01:22,675
or a state of being.

14
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:26,448
And it's a vehicle
for me for actions,

15
00:01:26,483 --> 00:01:28,813
and to get from one state
of mind maybe to another.

16
00:01:28,848 --> 00:01:30,815
So, for example,
if I'm trying to go work out,

17
00:01:30,850 --> 00:01:34,258
I need a bit more high
intensity, a bit more energy.

18
00:01:34,293 --> 00:01:37,624

beat-per-minute type of song.

relax, bring myself down

22
00:01:45,172 --> 00:01:47,634

Sound, for me, is
most related to music.

It's because their music

00:02:56,870 --> 00:02:58,771
For example, Elvis Presley,

46
00:02:58,806 --> 00:03:01,741
has been deceased
for over 40 years.

47
00:03:01,776 --> 00:03:04,843
He sold over a billion records,

48
00:03:04,878 --> 00:03:08,319
and 600,000 people

to see it.

54
00:03:18,694 --> 00:03:21,761
So, sound can be used for good,

55
00:03:21,796 --> 00:03:25,699
but it can also
be used as a weapon.

56
00:03:25,734 --> 00:03:27,371
If you recall

57
00:03:27,406 --> 00:03:29,505
the invasion of Panama,

58
00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:34,576
the US really wanted
to oust Manuel Noriega,

59
00:03:34,611 --> 00:03:37,447
and he locked himself
up in this building.

60
00:03:37,482 --> 00:03:39,812
So what did the US
do to get him out?

61
00:03:39,847 --> 00:03:42,947
They set up these giant speakers

62
00:03:42,982 --> 00:03:46,753
and blasted heavy metal music

63
00:03:46,788 --> 00:03:48,656
at the building,

64
00:03:48,691 --> 00:03:50,856
and they kept blasting

65
00:03:50,891 --> 00:03:54,827
until he couldn't
take it anymore

66
00:03:54,862 --> 00:03:56,994
and finally came out
of the building

67
00:03:57,029 --> 00:03:58,897
and surrendered.

68
00:03:58,932 --> 00:04:01,801
So, while sound
can be used for good

69
00:04:01,836 --> 00:04:03,704
and as a weapon,

70
00:04:03,739 --> 00:04:06,608
I have used sound to find peace.

71
00:04:06,643 --> 00:04:09,545
So, years ago
I got a singing bowl,

72
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:13,318
and I would play it
through really tough times.

73
00:04:13,353 --> 00:04:14,715
And what I realized is

74
00:04:14,750 --> 00:04:17,014
when I was playing
my singing bowl,

75
00:04:17,049 --> 00:04:19,555
I wasn't thinking
about my problems.

76
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:23,328
I was just present
with the sound.

77
00:04:23,363 --> 00:04:25,660
And then I started
working with clients,

78
00:04:25,695 --> 00:04:29,598
and I noticed that they had
very similar experiences.

79
00:04:29,633 --> 00:04:32,964
So I decided to
investigate why sound

80
00:04:32,999 --> 00:04:35,934
impacts us the way it does

81
00:04:35,969 --> 00:04:38,607
and how it works.

82
00:04:38,642 --> 00:04:40,752
- Good morning, welcome.
- Nice to see you, thank you.

83
00:04:40,776 --> 00:04:41,643
- Thanks for havin' us.
- No, it's good to have you.

84
00:04:41,678 --> 00:04:43,315
Oh, absolutely, no, no.

85
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:44,657
- I'm excited.
- I'm really excited.

86
00:04:44,681 --> 00:04:48,518
The organ is more than
2,000 years old,

87
00:04:48,553 --> 00:04:51,983
and so, for the great
bulk of its history,

88
00:04:52,018 --> 00:04:54,953
organs have had to
have been tuned by ear.

89
00:04:54,988 --> 00:04:59,463
The psychology of music

90
00:04:59,498 --> 00:05:03,698
is inseparable from our own,
from our being.

91
00:05:03,733 --> 00:05:05,436
Music goes way back.

92
00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:08,571
Music goes way back
into prehistory,

93
00:05:08,606 --> 00:05:11,805
and, well,
it has to do with language,

94
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:13,477
which, of course,
music is language,

95
00:05:13,512 --> 00:05:14,874
and that's one of the most

96
00:05:14,909 --> 00:05:17,778

about being human.

97

Not just speaking, of course,

98
00:05:19,419 --> 00:05:22,651

dawn of civilization.

00:09:38,843 --> 00:09:42,911
and treatment
by the singing bowls.

182
00:09:42,946 --> 00:09:44,341
And it's very useful

183
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:48,884
for all kinds of
healthcare processes,

184
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:50,853
activities that
we do with elephants...

185
00:09:50,888 --> 00:09:54,758
Including small things,
like skin care, eye checks,

186
00:09:54,793 --> 00:09:58,157
foot care, foot bath techniques,

187
00:09:58,192 --> 00:10:02,095
even helps us to make
the elephant relax

188
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:05,934
so that we can
draw blood for lab tests

189
00:10:05,969 --> 00:10:09,102
in a very friendly and easy way

190
00:10:09,137 --> 00:10:12,039
with less stress
for the elephant.

191
00:10:12,074 --> 00:10:16,648
Not even simple things,
but also in major operations,

192
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:18,056
elephants need to be,
for example,

193
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,652
very heavy IV treatment,

194
00:10:20,687 --> 00:10:22,687
which is kind of long.

195
00:10:22,722 --> 00:10:25,415
We're talking about eight hours,
ten hours a day process,

196
00:10:25,450 --> 00:10:27,791
so, the elephant,
many of them kind of

197
00:10:27,826 --> 00:10:30,387
not happy with that.

198
00:10:30,422 --> 00:10:33,159
The singing bowl
helps the treatments

199
00:10:33,194 --> 00:10:36,162
be conducted in a much more
relaxing condition,

200
00:10:36,197 --> 00:10:39,869
and it's helped us
from using heavy chemicals

201
00:10:39,904 --> 00:10:43,400
and some of the stressful

202
00:10:43,435 --> 00:10:46,238
restraint systems.

203
00:10:46,273 --> 00:10:49,879
Actually,
I realized that being me

204
00:10:49,914 --> 00:10:52,783
and being responsible for
these numbers of elephants

205
00:10:52,818 --> 00:10:55,412
and the people involved,
I actually...

206
00:10:55,447 --> 00:10:59,020
With or without
myself noticing...

207
00:10:59,055 --> 00:10:59,988
Create a lot of stress,

208
00:11:00,023 --> 00:11:03,695

do singing bowl for me

I think more like 14.

216
00:11:35,487 --> 00:11:39,929
So, I played them
kind of just for my own

relaxation and my own
enjoyment for a long time,

218
00:11:42,263 --> 00:11:44,131

working with people

the bowls on the body,

subtle little sounds.

you can be alone

My first experience was,

292
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:33,261
was hearing the, what we call,
the music of the mountains,

293
00:15:33,296 --> 00:15:36,660
music of the trees,
up at about 10,000 feet here

294

on a winter solstice
many years ago.

295
00:15:38,631 --> 00:15:41,566

for an hour or two,

296

to the silence

297

ten minutes later,

orchestral sound,

someone brought me a machine

304
00:15:59,322 --> 00:16:03,995
that seemed to allow that sound
to come right out of a plant.

305
00:16:04,030 --> 00:16:05,667
And I'm like, "Oh,
I've heard this before."

306
00:16:05,691 --> 00:16:08,164
This is actually the sound
of nature, and somehow

307
00:16:08,199 --> 00:16:10,595
someone invented this machine

308

311
00:16:16,273 --> 00:16:18,603
number one,
I think to relax myself

312
00:16:18,638 --> 00:16:22,079
and to relax people,
to center myself.

313
00:16:22,114 --> 00:16:26,677
I use it in the sense of being
able to identify life force,

314
00:16:26,712 --> 00:16:28,646
and its vibratory pattern

315
00:16:28,681 --> 00:16:31,286
associated with
different plants.

316
00:16:31,321 --> 00:16:33,189
Generally speaking,
for the concerts,

317
00:16:33,224 --> 00:16:35,752
we use machines,
or multiple machines.

318
00:16:35,787 --> 00:16:40,559
And the machine is able to
measure the electrical output

319
00:16:40,594 --> 00:16:42,759
of the needle,
or the leaf, or the flower,

320
00:16:42,794 --> 00:16:44,728
and then also of the root,

321
00:16:44,763 --> 00:16:47,137
and then it compares it
and assigns a MIDI value,

322
00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:49,370
and then the synthesizer,

323
00:16:49,405 --> 00:16:51,405
and then you're able
to pick the voice.

324
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,407
Sometimes the plant
or the machine

325
00:16:53,442 --> 00:16:56,410
picks the voice for you,
and you can't change it.

326

00:16:58,381 --> 00:17:00,249

329
00:17:02,220 --> 00:17:06,255
It has a built-in MIDI
and synthesizer.

330
00:17:06,290 --> 00:17:08,752
It has 128 different
sounds to it.

331
00:17:08,787 --> 00:17:10,325

334
00:17:17,136 --> 00:17:21,600
the wires that go to the leaf
or needles of the plant,

338
00:17:28,477 --> 00:17:32,611
is the one, the green one,
that goes to the plant leaves,

339
00:17:32,646 --> 00:17:35,152

their electrical voltage.

nature to play with us,

348
00:18:18,527 --> 00:18:21,660
and I think it's actually
really the other way around.

349
00:18:21,695 --> 00:18:23,332
Nature's actually inviting us.

350
00:18:23,367 --> 00:18:25,499
It's already playing,
most of us cannot hear it.

351
00:18:25,534 --> 00:18:27,633
Most of us don't even
know the secret

352
00:18:27,668 --> 00:18:30,273
of being able to hear
that music up there,

353
00:18:30,308 --> 00:18:33,837
and here it is, the secret
is listen to the silence.

354
00:18:33,872 --> 00:18:35,509
You might say,
"Well, what do you mean?

355
00:18:35,544 --> 00:18:38,149
There's nothing to listen to."

356
00:18:38,184 --> 00:18:40,514
Try it, try it,
and if it gets too much,

357
00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:42,417
then stop, make some sound.

358
00:18:42,452 --> 00:18:44,287
On that experience,
I kinda dared myself,

359
00:18:44,322 --> 00:18:47,224
"How long can I
listen to this silence?"

360
00:18:47,259 --> 00:18:49,391
And then I actually liked it.

361
00:18:49,426 --> 00:18:50,887
We're not just vibration.

362
00:18:50,922 --> 00:18:53,230
We're vibration in space.

363
00:18:53,265 --> 00:18:54,693
And what vibration can do

364
00:18:54,728 --> 00:18:56,233
is point to like,

365
00:18:56,268 --> 00:18:58,532
"Pay attention to the space."

366
00:18:58,567 --> 00:19:01,238
Pay attention to that space,

367
00:19:01,273 --> 00:19:02,866
not just the vibration.

368
00:19:02,901 --> 00:19:07,409
Vibration can take you
right home to the space.

369
00:19:07,444 --> 00:19:09,290
It's really important,
and you can bring that into

370
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:10,643
other aspects of your life.

371
00:19:10,678 --> 00:19:13,679
And so, vibration
can show us the space.

372
00:19:13,714 --> 00:19:19,619
♪

373
00:19:19,654 --> 00:19:20,820
Everything has sound.

374
00:19:20,855 --> 00:19:24,525
That picture is a picture of
sound, light, and vibration.

375
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,527
You can feel the sound
going out, right?

376
00:19:26,562 --> 00:19:29,497
And then it shakes, vibration,
and then there's light,

377
00:19:29,532 --> 00:19:30,399
- right?
- Mm-hmm.

378
00:19:30,434 --> 00:19:31,697
And there's, we say,

379
00:19:31,732 --> 00:19:34,469
the way that energy
emerges from the void

380
00:19:34,504 --> 00:19:36,537
is through those three things.

381
00:19:36,572 --> 00:19:37,912
And through sound,
light, and vibration,

382
00:19:37,936 --> 00:19:40,475
everything emerges.

383
00:19:40,510 --> 00:19:42,609
So, this is our
aura machine right here,

384
00:19:42,644 --> 00:19:44,842
called Auracom,
and as you can see,

385
00:19:44,877 --> 00:19:48,318
on the front of it
there are some fingerprints,

386
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:49,252
metal fingerprints.

387
00:19:49,288 --> 00:19:50,947
Basically,
it's a biofeedback machine.

388
00:19:50,982 --> 00:19:52,949
I don't know if you've ever
heard of biofeedback.

389
00:19:52,984 --> 00:19:55,265
I've heard of it, but why don't
you tell us more about it.

390
00:19:55,294 --> 00:19:58,328
So basically, the Earth...

391
00:19:58,363 --> 00:19:59,296
I always like to
start with the Earth

392
00:19:59,331 --> 00:20:02,827
when I explain about
how biofeedback works.

393
00:20:02,862 --> 00:20:04,532
The Earth has
a magnetic field around it.

394
00:20:04,567 --> 00:20:06,534
If it didn't have
a magnetic field around it

395
00:20:06,569 --> 00:20:07,569
that went like this,

396
00:20:07,604 --> 00:20:10,472
it wouldn't just suspend
itself in space, right?

397
00:20:10,507 --> 00:20:12,408
And in the same way, our bodies,

398
00:20:12,443 --> 00:20:15,708
within three feet of our space,
we also have a magnetic field,

399
00:20:15,743 --> 00:20:18,909
or an energetic field
around our bodies.

400
00:20:18,944 --> 00:20:20,845
So, that energetic field

401
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,287
actually can be
felt through heat.

402
00:20:23,322 --> 00:20:25,619
There are different
signals from the body

403
00:20:25,654 --> 00:20:27,588
that kind of interpret
that field for us.

404
00:20:27,623 --> 00:20:30,360
So biofeedback
is using those signals

405
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:33,891
that are especially evident
through the hands and the feet

406
00:20:33,926 --> 00:20:37,026
in order to kind of
draw a picture

407
00:20:37,061 --> 00:20:39,369
of what the field
looks like around us.

408
00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:41,701
Well, we brought
someone with us.

409
00:20:41,736 --> 00:20:44,506
She's been on our crew
and traveling with us.

410
00:20:44,541 --> 00:20:45,639
Her name's Donna Williams,

411
00:20:45,674 --> 00:20:48,004
and she has volunteered today

412
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:50,677
if that's okay to have
her photographed, so.

413
00:20:50,712 --> 00:20:52,525
- Absolutely, yeah.
- Okay, is this a good time

414
00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:53,977
- to bring her in?
- That would be

415
00:20:54,012 --> 00:20:55,418
the perfect time
to bring her in.

416
00:20:55,453 --> 00:20:56,252
- Yeah.
- All right.

417
00:20:56,287 --> 00:20:58,916
So, Donna, come on in
and join us.

418
00:20:58,951 --> 00:21:00,401
Are you ready to have
your photo taken?

419
00:21:00,425 --> 00:21:02,689
- I am!
- Are you ready to... okay.

420
00:21:02,724 --> 00:21:07,496
You're gonna place your hands
on the biofeedback hand prints,

421
00:21:07,531 --> 00:21:10,664
- and the machine will read...
- Okay.

422
00:21:10,699 --> 00:21:13,337
And interpret
through biofeedback

423
00:21:13,372 --> 00:21:15,966
and then demonstrate
to us in color.

424
00:21:16,001 --> 00:21:18,738
All right,
and closing your eyes.

425
00:21:18,773 --> 00:21:26,773
♪

426
00:21:28,783 --> 00:21:29,815
There you go.

427
00:21:29,850 --> 00:21:32,818
You can open your eyes.

428
00:21:32,853 --> 00:21:34,985
- There's your aura.
- Wow.

429
00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:35,986
How do you feel seeing that?

430
00:21:36,021 --> 00:21:37,790
I always love watching
people's reactions

431
00:21:37,825 --> 00:21:39,065
when they first see their aura.

432
00:21:39,090 --> 00:21:40,090
Some people are like,

433
00:21:40,125 --> 00:21:40,923
"I thought that's
what it would look like,"

434
00:21:40,959 --> 00:21:43,994
and some people
are like, "What?"

435
00:21:44,029 --> 00:21:46,436
Those are my favorite colors,
so that's great.

436
00:21:46,471 --> 00:21:49,670
Yeah, so that's not uncommon
that a lot of times

437
00:21:49,705 --> 00:21:50,913
people see their auras
and they'll be like,

438
00:21:50,937 --> 00:21:52,442
"Those are my favorite colors."

439
00:21:52,477 --> 00:21:55,379
- Those are what those are.
- Yeah, yeah.

440
00:21:55,414 --> 00:21:56,743
Some of my favorite.

441
00:21:56,778 --> 00:22:00,417
So, are you familiar
with chakras?

442
00:22:00,452 --> 00:22:01,979
- A bit, yes.
- A little bit? Yeah.

443
00:22:02,014 --> 00:22:04,553
So just like I explained
that there's a magnetic field

444
00:22:04,588 --> 00:22:05,917
around your body,

445
00:22:05,952 --> 00:22:08,887
you can break that down
into what we call chakras.

446
00:22:08,922 --> 00:22:11,923
They're like generators,
energy centers, in the body.

447
00:22:11,958 --> 00:22:14,926
So, you have this kind of
generator around your body

448
00:22:14,961 --> 00:22:16,205
that's interacting
with your body,

449
00:22:16,229 --> 00:22:20,030
and then each chakra's like
a specific kind of generator.

450
00:22:20,065 --> 00:22:21,482
You can kind of
see this picture here.

451
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:22,813
That's why I like,
I like this picture

452
00:22:22,837 --> 00:22:25,376
'cause it illustrates
kind of the colors

453
00:22:25,411 --> 00:22:26,718
and where the chakras
are located,

454
00:22:26,742 --> 00:22:29,611
going from your tailbone,
the base of your spine,

455
00:22:29,646 --> 00:22:31,118
all the way to
the top of your head.

456
00:22:31,142 --> 00:22:32,779
In actuality,
there are more chakras

457
00:22:32,814 --> 00:22:34,110
than are illustrated here,

458
00:22:34,145 --> 00:22:35,694
but these are
the ones that are famous,

459
00:22:35,718 --> 00:22:37,520
that everyone knows,

460
00:22:37,555 --> 00:22:41,557
according mostly to
Indian yogic tradition...

461
00:22:41,592 --> 00:22:43,394
And that's the energy
moving through,

462
00:22:43,429 --> 00:22:44,506
that line that's
connecting them...

463
00:22:44,530 --> 00:22:47,728
That's right, it's
the energy moving through.

464
00:22:47,763 --> 00:22:50,698
And so, it goes all the way
from your first chakra,

465
00:22:50,733 --> 00:22:53,030
which is about survival,

466
00:22:53,065 --> 00:22:55,065
through pleasure, power,

467
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:57,001
your heart, your voice,

468
00:22:57,036 --> 00:22:58,871
your third eye... clarity...

469
00:22:58,906 --> 00:23:00,774
All the way to inspiration.

470
00:23:00,809 --> 00:23:05,075
Okay, so I know looking at this,
right side, left side,

471
00:23:05,110 --> 00:23:06,912
and the green is appearing
on the left side,

472
00:23:06,947 --> 00:23:10,586
which I know is going
to the nurturing aspect.

473
00:23:10,621 --> 00:23:13,050
So I know that primarily,

474
00:23:13,085 --> 00:23:16,955
you're emotional about,
let's say,

475
00:23:16,990 --> 00:23:18,187
nurturing-oriented things.

476
00:23:18,222 --> 00:23:19,859
It means that
when you're working,

477
00:23:19,894 --> 00:23:21,729
you're probably...
Because when people work,

478
00:23:21,764 --> 00:23:26,030
they primarily, probably tend
to the more masculine traits...

479
00:23:26,065 --> 00:23:28,967
But when you're talking
about relationship,

480
00:23:29,002 --> 00:23:30,540
things you're passionate about,

481
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:32,201
love, you know,

482
00:23:32,236 --> 00:23:34,005
the more feminine
aspects of life,

483
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,941
that's when the like "Ah!"

484
00:23:35,976 --> 00:23:37,580
the fire comes through.

485
00:23:40,750 --> 00:23:42,816
Does it make sense?

486
00:23:42,851 --> 00:23:47,018
Sound and vibration seem
to impact the animal kingdom.

487
00:23:47,053 --> 00:23:49,922
We also saw that
vibration from plants

488
00:23:49,957 --> 00:23:52,628
can be translated into music.

489
00:23:52,663 --> 00:23:55,961
And our own vibration,
our own energy field,

490
00:23:55,996 --> 00:23:59,602
can be captured via photograph,

491
00:23:59,637 --> 00:24:03,232
and it looks like this beautiful
array of colors around the body.

492
00:24:03,267 --> 00:24:05,872
Yolessa Lawrince from
the Sedona Healing Arts Center

493
00:24:05,907 --> 00:24:08,479
said that everything has sound.

494
00:24:08,514 --> 00:24:11,878
So if sound is so
important in our world,

495
00:24:11,913 --> 00:24:14,243
what would happen if we woke up

496
00:24:14,278 --> 00:24:16,047
and lost it?

497
00:24:16,082 --> 00:24:19,490
I was tired, so I laid down
to take a nap.

498
00:24:19,525 --> 00:24:23,956
I woke up, I was totally,
totally deaf.

499
00:24:23,991 --> 00:24:27,993
But to go from hearing poorly

500
00:24:28,028 --> 00:24:31,667
to nothing is a dramatic drop

501
00:24:31,702 --> 00:24:34,164
in your senses.

502
00:24:34,199 --> 00:24:36,870
Sound and communication
go hand in hand.

503
00:24:36,905 --> 00:24:40,676
People who can't hear,
oftentimes, become isolated.

504
00:24:40,711 --> 00:24:44,042
I often tell parents,
or ask my patients, actually,

505
00:24:44,077 --> 00:24:45,945
"Are you sitting at
the Thanksgiving table

506
00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:48,816
just nodding your head and going
along with the conversation,

507
00:24:48,851 --> 00:24:51,148
or missing the jokes
that are being said?"

508
00:24:51,183 --> 00:24:52,996
And you don't wanna look like
you don't know what's goin' on,

509
00:24:53,020 --> 00:24:55,119
so they kinda nod
their heads and go along.

510
00:24:55,154 --> 00:24:56,857
And most of my patients say yes.

511
00:24:56,892 --> 00:24:59,057
It becomes so much
of an effort for them

512
00:24:59,092 --> 00:25:01,796
to communicate with others
because they can't hear,

513
00:25:01,831 --> 00:25:03,611
and others don't wanna
communicate with them

514
00:25:03,635 --> 00:25:05,932
because they have to
speak very loudly

515
00:25:05,967 --> 00:25:09,639
in order for their loved one
to understand what's going on.

516
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,707
So, they do become
quite reclusive

517
00:25:11,742 --> 00:25:15,612
and distance themselves
from society quite a bit.

518
00:25:15,647 --> 00:25:18,307
So hearing, hearing aids,
cochlear implants,

519
00:25:18,342 --> 00:25:19,475
doing surgery on the ear...

520
00:25:19,510 --> 00:25:22,146
Sometimes those little bones
we talked about get stiff.

521
00:25:22,181 --> 00:25:25,688
We can correct those and bring
back the hearing to a point

522
00:25:25,723 --> 00:25:26,522
where they're like you and me,

523
00:25:26,557 --> 00:25:28,251
where they can
at least communicate

524
00:25:28,286 --> 00:25:30,220
well with others.

525
00:25:30,255 --> 00:25:32,728
We're social beings,
we're social beings,

526
00:25:32,763 --> 00:25:35,896
and if you're not
getting that information

527
00:25:35,931 --> 00:25:39,163
to effectively communicate,
to effectively understand what

528
00:25:39,198 --> 00:25:41,704
your loved ones
are saying to you,

529
00:25:41,739 --> 00:25:43,871
you're isolating yourself.

530
00:25:43,906 --> 00:25:46,742
That just changes
your brain chemically.

531
00:25:46,777 --> 00:25:50,141
Finally, I wound
up with Dr. Shaia

532
00:25:50,176 --> 00:25:52,341
and the cochlear implants,

533
00:25:52,376 --> 00:25:56,312
and I was crossing my fingers,
"Please God,

534
00:25:56,347 --> 00:25:57,819
let him take me on.

535
00:25:57,854 --> 00:25:59,986
Let me be a candidate,"

536
00:26:00,021 --> 00:26:02,692
because I was desperate.

537
00:26:02,727 --> 00:26:04,991
What we have here is
a standard cochlear implant.

538
00:26:05,026 --> 00:26:06,157
There's several companies.

539
00:26:06,192 --> 00:26:08,357
They're all basically
shaped the same.

540
00:26:08,392 --> 00:26:11,327
They have three basic
components that are present.

541
00:26:11,362 --> 00:26:14,605
They have a magnet here
that helps the processor

542
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,872
stick through the scalp
to the cochlear implant.

543
00:26:17,907 --> 00:26:19,170
There's a processor here,

544
00:26:19,205 --> 00:26:20,215
and then there are
little electrodes

545
00:26:20,239 --> 00:26:21,612
that go down into the cochlear

546
00:26:21,647 --> 00:26:23,372
that we feed into
the hearing organ

547
00:26:23,407 --> 00:26:27,211
to stimulate the hair cells
that help us hear.

548
00:26:27,246 --> 00:26:30,654
And so then,
the cochlear implant itself

549
00:26:30,689 --> 00:26:31,919
that has the magnet here,

550
00:26:31,954 --> 00:26:33,855
patients are given a unit

551
00:26:33,890 --> 00:26:36,319
that fits on
the outside of their ear.

552
00:26:36,354 --> 00:26:37,925
- Should I do it this way?
- Yup.

553
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,158
- Do you have that?
- And this little wire

554
00:26:40,193 --> 00:26:42,831
with a magnet goes
against their scalp

555
00:26:42,866 --> 00:26:44,932
like that, and it
kinda sticks up there.

556
00:26:44,967 --> 00:26:47,231
What it's sticking to
is this magnet underneath.

557
00:26:47,266 --> 00:26:49,739
And through this processor here,

558
00:26:49,774 --> 00:26:52,137
goes up through the magnet
and down the electrodes

559
00:26:52,172 --> 00:26:53,336
to stimulate energy,

560
00:26:53,371 --> 00:26:55,679
to give energy to
the little hair cells

561
00:26:55,714 --> 00:26:58,209
so that they can
start hearing again.

562
00:26:58,244 --> 00:27:00,112
Mr. Neblett,
he's an older gentleman,

563
00:27:00,147 --> 00:27:04,248
but he has done excellent
with his cochlear implant.

564
00:27:04,283 --> 00:27:07,658
His initial day of coming
in to actually receive

565
00:27:07,693 --> 00:27:10,188
the external portion
of the cochlear implant,

566
00:27:10,223 --> 00:27:11,234
which is called a processor,

567
00:27:11,258 --> 00:27:14,896
and that initial,
we call it activation, date

568
00:27:14,931 --> 00:27:18,064
actually was very...
Well, for him,

569
00:27:18,099 --> 00:27:22,332
he was able to understand speech

570
00:27:22,367 --> 00:27:24,906
right away,
which is not always the case.

571
00:27:24,941 --> 00:27:27,909
Everyone has
different experiences

572
00:27:27,944 --> 00:27:29,944
during that initial
day of activation

573
00:27:29,979 --> 00:27:32,408
of the cochlear implant,
but he's one that actually,

574
00:27:32,443 --> 00:27:35,686
his brain adapted very quickly

575
00:27:35,721 --> 00:27:38,722
to processing this new
electrical signal

576
00:27:38,757 --> 00:27:40,317
that it had not heard before.

577
00:27:40,352 --> 00:27:43,826
So, it's a life-changer
for a lot of people.

578
00:27:43,861 --> 00:27:46,455
My older patients,
who know what sound is like,

579
00:27:46,490 --> 00:27:48,028
then they slowly lost hearing

580
00:27:48,063 --> 00:27:50,228
to the point where they
needed a cochlear implant,

581
00:27:50,263 --> 00:27:54,034
90 percent of them do wonderful
with the cochlear implantation.

582
00:27:54,069 --> 00:27:55,464
They enjoy the sound.

583
00:27:55,499 --> 00:27:57,378
They can hear things
that they never heard before.

584
00:27:57,402 --> 00:28:00,777
It may sound irrelevant
to someone like you and me,

585
00:28:00,812 --> 00:28:03,879
but if I walk outside,
I can hear the birds chirping,

586
00:28:03,914 --> 00:28:07,245
and they can hear that sound,
and that makes them feel normal.

587
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,390
And it's something that
we don't appreciate every day,

588
00:28:09,414 --> 00:28:10,886
but we should.

589
00:28:10,921 --> 00:28:14,956
When I was about 15...

590
00:28:14,991 --> 00:28:18,894
This would put us about 1940,

591
00:28:18,929 --> 00:28:21,292
we weren't yet in a war...

592
00:28:21,327 --> 00:28:24,361
And the Met would go on tour

593
00:28:24,396 --> 00:28:28,398
and came through Richmond
with an opera.

594
00:28:28,433 --> 00:28:31,203
Well, my next-door neighbor

595
00:28:31,238 --> 00:28:35,339
was a managing editor
at the Times, Dispatch.

596
00:28:35,374 --> 00:28:37,308
He had a daughter
and a couple of tickets

597
00:28:37,343 --> 00:28:41,312
to the opera that
the Met was putting on.

598
00:28:41,347 --> 00:28:43,479
So, he wanted
his daughter to go.

599
00:28:43,514 --> 00:28:46,757
He couldn't stand operas.

600
00:28:46,792 --> 00:28:50,255
He needed her... he wanted her
to have an escort,

601
00:28:50,290 --> 00:28:54,831
so I went with her
to hear the opera.

602
00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:56,866
When I heard that

603
00:28:56,901 --> 00:29:00,067
first introduction to the opera,

604
00:29:00,102 --> 00:29:02,069
from that point on,

605
00:29:02,104 --> 00:29:06,469
there was only one music
that ever touched my soul,

606
00:29:06,504 --> 00:29:08,911
and that was grand opera.

607
00:29:08,946 --> 00:29:12,013
♪

608
00:29:14,446 --> 00:29:22,446
♪

609
00:29:29,131 --> 00:29:31,967
And it stayed in my memory.

610
00:29:32,002 --> 00:29:34,431
Now, I go through
this deafness, obviously,

611
00:29:34,466 --> 00:29:37,203
I don't hear a thing.

612
00:29:37,238 --> 00:29:39,909
But now with the cochlear,

613
00:29:39,944 --> 00:29:43,539
that is the one...

614
00:29:43,574 --> 00:29:48,214
You can usually restore
speech fairly well,

615
00:29:48,249 --> 00:29:51,888
but to restore sound or music

616
00:29:51,923 --> 00:29:55,188
is much more
difficult programming.

617
00:29:55,223 --> 00:29:58,158
So, I'm going through
that experience.

618
00:29:58,193 --> 00:30:00,897
But what I'm hearing

619
00:30:00,932 --> 00:30:03,196
is only about 40 percent

620
00:30:03,231 --> 00:30:06,166
of what the real sound is,

621
00:30:06,201 --> 00:30:08,300
but I make up that 60 percent

622
00:30:08,335 --> 00:30:09,466
with my memory.

623
00:30:09,501 --> 00:30:13,503
I can recall it
exactly how I heard it

624
00:30:13,538 --> 00:30:16,143

and how grateful he was
when he could hear it again.

631
00:30:39,938 --> 00:30:43,632
So, sound and vibration
definitely move us.

632
00:30:43,667 --> 00:30:47,911
Certain sounds are
more pleasant than others,

633
00:30:47,946 --> 00:30:51,277
but do they actually
have an impact

634
00:30:51,312 --> 00:30:52,916
on our wellbeing?

♪

636
00:31:07,658 --> 00:31:09,526
Sound obviously is a vibration,

637
00:31:09,561 --> 00:31:13,101
and it's not that we
literally hear something.

638
00:31:13,136 --> 00:31:16,071
What happens is
our brain translates

639
00:31:16,106 --> 00:31:18,403
the audio signals
into vibrations.

640
00:31:18,438 --> 00:31:20,911
Vibration is extremely
important to our wellbeing

641
00:31:20,946 --> 00:31:23,914
because, medicine can tell you,

642
00:31:23,949 --> 00:31:26,444
that ultimately
every portion of the body

643
00:31:26,479 --> 00:31:28,644
operates at homeostasis,

644
00:31:28,679 --> 00:31:30,646
that there's
an interconnectedness between

645
00:31:30,681 --> 00:31:33,187
all the body parts, the organs,

646
00:31:33,222 --> 00:31:35,992
the blood pressure,
the temperature, the blood flow,

647
00:31:36,027 --> 00:31:38,324
and that when something
is out of whack,

648
00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:41,360
- illness results.
- I started

649
00:31:41,395 --> 00:31:45,067
where I wanted to harness sound
and deliver it to people

650
00:31:45,102 --> 00:31:48,466
in an affordable, accessible way
that was non-invasive,

651
00:31:48,501 --> 00:31:49,645
that would help them de-armor.

652
00:31:49,669 --> 00:31:51,942
Like, you go through life
and you collect your wounds,

653
00:31:51,977 --> 00:31:53,306
and you collect your bruises,

654
00:31:53,341 --> 00:31:56,375
and you start to
armor up, right,

655
00:31:56,410 --> 00:31:57,706
start to shut down.

656
00:31:57,741 --> 00:32:00,346
And in just my own
personal experiences,

657
00:32:00,381 --> 00:32:02,645
you go through life, and then
you're no longer available

658
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,317
to the love that's
available to you.

659
00:32:04,352 --> 00:32:05,461
You almost can't even see it

660
00:32:05,485 --> 00:32:07,452
because you're
too busy locking down.

661
00:32:07,487 --> 00:32:09,718
So I wanted to find
some way to use sound

662
00:32:09,753 --> 00:32:11,555
to help people de-armor, right,

663
00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:14,525
non-invasive, accessible,
affordable, we can all have it.

664
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,066
How does sound affect
the human body?

665
00:32:25,736 --> 00:32:27,681
How does sound affect
our brain, and our emotion,

666
00:32:27,705 --> 00:32:29,606
and our thoughts,
and our cognition?

667
00:32:29,641 --> 00:32:32,642
So, I went to school
to study that.

668
00:32:32,677 --> 00:32:37,152
And to harness it... because
the world of sound is endless...

669
00:32:37,187 --> 00:32:45,187
♪

670
00:32:49,529 --> 00:32:52,266
There are things that,

671
00:32:52,301 --> 00:32:55,500
that you can access
emotionally through music

672
00:32:55,535 --> 00:32:57,766
that you can't
always get through

673
00:32:57,801 --> 00:33:02,144
just speaking or
listening to somebody.

674
00:33:02,179 --> 00:33:04,014
So music's very
powerful for that,

675
00:33:04,049 --> 00:33:05,477
for really piercing the armor

676
00:33:05,512 --> 00:33:08,051
and getting into
the emotional stuff.

677
00:33:08,086 --> 00:33:09,360
So our brain does
this neat thing.

678
00:33:09,384 --> 00:33:10,757
It's constantly
doing a Google search

679
00:33:10,781 --> 00:33:11,980
of whatever's in front of us.

680
00:33:12,016 --> 00:33:14,321
And that's super useful
because then we don't have to

681
00:33:14,356 --> 00:33:15,465
reinvent the wheel everyday,

682
00:33:15,489 --> 00:33:16,730
and figure out
how to get out of bed,

683
00:33:16,754 --> 00:33:19,227
or how to move around
in our world.

684
00:33:19,262 --> 00:33:23,198
So, we've got all this
pre-existing data in there.

685
00:33:23,233 --> 00:33:25,079
Then our brain will take
whatever's in front of us,

686
00:33:25,103 --> 00:33:29,105
and say, "So, what in the files
do I have that is useful?"

687
00:33:29,140 --> 00:33:31,305
And that's why you'll
trigger memories

688
00:33:31,340 --> 00:33:32,537
when you experience, say,

689
00:33:32,572 --> 00:33:35,309

heard in years.

basic brain mechanics

696
00:33:54,363 --> 00:33:56,594

00:34:03,801 --> 00:34:05,669
- Correct.

698

Activity of the brain

that are running
right through here.

while you're listening
to sequences of

708
00:34:32,203 --> 00:34:34,797
two- or three-second
clips of sounds,

709
00:34:34,832 --> 00:34:39,241
and we're just recording
what's going on in your brain."

710
00:34:39,276 --> 00:34:42,640
Each one of these lines
represents a channel,

711
00:34:42,675 --> 00:34:45,181
an electrode on the head.

712
00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:48,547
Okay, and this is
scrolling across time,

713
00:34:48,582 --> 00:34:51,319
and the amplitude...
The little squiggly line...

714
00:34:51,354 --> 00:34:53,684
Represents the voltage
that's being measured

715
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,818
at the electrode on the scalp.

716
00:34:55,853 --> 00:34:59,789
For example, see these
little oscillations here?

717
00:34:59,824 --> 00:35:01,890
That's an Alpha burst.

718
00:35:01,925 --> 00:35:04,596
This stuff right here
is an eye blink.

719
00:35:04,631 --> 00:35:09,139
What we do is take
all these sequences

720
00:35:09,174 --> 00:35:12,901
and overlay them, average them.

721
00:35:12,936 --> 00:35:16,905
When you do that,
the stuff that's synchronized,

722
00:35:16,940 --> 00:35:19,545
the EEG that's synchronized
with that sound

723
00:35:19,580 --> 00:35:22,482
is gonna start appearing
outta the average.

726
00:35:34,958 --> 00:35:38,531
The first one we're
looking at is brain activity,

727
00:35:38,566 --> 00:35:40,467
so that would be EEG.

728
00:35:40,502 --> 00:35:44,339
So that first study I mentioned,
which is basic brain mechanics,

729
00:35:44,374 --> 00:35:45,747
that's looking for
what they would call

730
00:35:45,771 --> 00:35:49,839
frequency following response,
or a driving effect,

731
00:35:49,874 --> 00:35:52,281
in brain function caused by

732
00:35:52,316 --> 00:35:55,416
some particular sound

733
00:35:55,451 --> 00:35:58,650
program or sequence
that's being use.

734
00:35:58,685 --> 00:36:01,851
The classical one here is

735
00:36:01,886 --> 00:36:04,392
based on binaural beats,

736
00:36:04,427 --> 00:36:08,528
which is a combination of tones.

737
00:36:08,563 --> 00:36:10,365
One of the tones might be, say,

738
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,565
4 Hz different
from the other tone,

739
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:17,537
and they're presented separately
to the left and right ears,

740
00:36:17,572 --> 00:36:21,970
and with the result
that you might see

741
00:36:22,005 --> 00:36:25,776
at 4 Hz driving response
in the brain.

742
00:36:25,811 --> 00:36:28,383
The reason that's
so interesting is because

743
00:36:28,418 --> 00:36:32,552
the primary brain
frequency can tend to

744
00:36:32,587 --> 00:36:36,985
signify or reflect state
of consciousness in a person.

745
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:41,924
The binaural beats are low.

746
00:36:41,959 --> 00:36:44,861
They often are masked
with white noise.

747
00:36:44,896 --> 00:36:48,238
And yet, there are
studies showing that even

748
00:36:48,273 --> 00:36:50,504
with these binaural beats
completely masked

749
00:36:50,539 --> 00:36:52,440
so a person cannot
hear them at all,

750
00:36:52,475 --> 00:36:54,640
but they are there in the sound,

751
00:36:54,675 --> 00:36:57,676
they were still able to
measure differences in, say,

752
00:36:57,711 --> 00:37:00,745
vigilance and mood.

753
00:37:00,780 --> 00:37:02,879
So, it's having an effect,

754
00:37:02,914 --> 00:37:06,553
even if you're not
consciously hearing it.

from this other thing,

768

from the air conditioner,
is another note

acoustic padding
around something,

772
00:37:41,689 --> 00:37:44,657
or do something,
so you don't have this, all day,

773
00:37:44,692 --> 00:37:47,825
you have this discordant note
playing in your background?

774
00:37:47,860 --> 00:37:48,969
So there are things like that.

775
00:37:48,993 --> 00:37:50,927
Another factor is,

776
00:37:50,962 --> 00:37:52,896
a lot of people,
in psychological studies

777

on what we define as noise,

778
00:37:55,604 --> 00:37:59,441
has to do with is it
controllable and predictable?

779
00:37:59,476 --> 00:38:02,037
So, when you can turn
the volume down on something,

780
00:38:02,072 --> 00:38:04,644
or you know when the next
sound's gonna happen,

781
00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:06,316
we don't interpret it as noise.

782
00:38:06,351 --> 00:38:09,385
It's when it feels like
a thing we can't control

783
00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:13,323
that... and can't predict... that's
when it feels threatening,

784
00:38:13,358 --> 00:38:15,754
and we interpret it as noise.

785
00:38:15,789 --> 00:38:19,923
These things are...
I would say they're tools

786
00:38:19,958 --> 00:38:21,991
in consciousness exploration.

787
00:38:22,026 --> 00:38:25,027
So, the more you can
explore consciousness,

788
00:38:25,062 --> 00:38:27,535
that would seem to be
quite important to me

789
00:38:27,570 --> 00:38:31,407
for health and wellbeing.

790
00:38:31,442 --> 00:38:34,575
I really try to
implement the tools

791
00:38:34,610 --> 00:38:36,478
that the body already has
to heal itself.

792
00:38:36,513 --> 00:38:39,547
So as an osteopathic
family medicine physician,

793
00:38:39,582 --> 00:38:41,912
we're taught that
the mind-body connection,

794
00:38:41,947 --> 00:38:43,716
mind-body spirit
is very important

795
00:38:43,751 --> 00:38:45,685
and, given
the appropriate tools,

796
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:47,522
the body can heal itself.

797
00:38:47,557 --> 00:38:49,557
So really, I look
at the root cause

798
00:38:49,592 --> 00:38:51,493
and try to figure out
what is the root cause

799
00:38:51,528 --> 00:38:53,858
of what is ailing the person

800
00:38:53,893 --> 00:38:56,025
and then educate them
and give them

801
00:38:56,060 --> 00:38:57,862
whatever tool it may be

802
00:38:57,897 --> 00:38:59,732
to help them to heal themself,

803
00:38:59,767 --> 00:39:04,000
because truly, I believe
that we are our own best healer.

804
00:39:04,035 --> 00:39:07,443
So, your vibration is created
by what you put into your body

805
00:39:07,478 --> 00:39:09,005
as well as what you put out.

806
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,677
So as long as you become
more cognizant

807
00:39:10,712 --> 00:39:11,789
of what you're doing
to yourself,

808
00:39:11,813 --> 00:39:14,978
I think it is possible
to raise your own vibration.

809
00:39:15,013 --> 00:39:17,849
What we know is that
we can just be around busyness

810
00:39:17,884 --> 00:39:20,588
and absorb that stress
and that energy,

811
00:39:20,623 --> 00:39:22,425
whether we're sitting
in traffic,

812
00:39:22,460 --> 00:39:24,724
whether we're walking
in the mall,

813
00:39:24,759 --> 00:39:26,990
whether we are just
around coworkers at work

814
00:39:27,025 --> 00:39:28,090
or projects.

815
00:39:28,125 --> 00:39:30,565
And so, really, I have found,

816
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,096
in being a therapist
and in my own life,

817
00:39:34,131 --> 00:39:37,066
that using meditation,
taking a time-out,

818
00:39:37,101 --> 00:39:39,772
and getting hyper focused
on something,

819
00:39:39,807 --> 00:39:44,513
a sound and a vibration
are very, very helpful

820
00:39:44,548 --> 00:39:46,944
and beneficial to focusing us

821
00:39:46,979 --> 00:39:49,782
into a state of relaxation.

822
00:39:49,817 --> 00:39:51,817
Everything has vibration.

823
00:39:51,852 --> 00:39:54,886
Whether it's the cells
in our body,

824
00:39:54,921 --> 00:39:58,054
to a plant, to an animal,

825
00:39:58,089 --> 00:40:01,057
to a thought, to a color.

826
00:40:01,092 --> 00:40:02,564
Sound is very beneficial

827
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:06,634
in helping in mood disorders,

828
00:40:06,669 --> 00:40:09,164
anxiety, depression,
irritable bowel,

829
00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:11,166
a lot of
the inflammatory disorders.

830
00:40:11,201 --> 00:40:13,146
You know, the inflammation
that occurs in our system

831
00:40:13,170 --> 00:40:15,104
a lot of times
is because of tension,

832
00:40:15,139 --> 00:40:18,074
and so when we use
sound therapy,

833
00:40:18,109 --> 00:40:20,648
that vibration that occurs
throughout the body

834
00:40:20,683 --> 00:40:22,683
can help to relax
in those areas.

835
00:40:22,718 --> 00:40:30,718
♪

836
00:40:31,529 --> 00:40:33,221
Really what it's doing
is it's activating

837
00:40:33,256 --> 00:40:35,630
your parasympathetic
nervous system.

838
00:40:35,665 --> 00:40:37,027
It's relaxing your body

839
00:40:37,062 --> 00:40:39,931
to a state
where it can heal itself.

840
00:40:39,966 --> 00:40:42,802
Another way that you can use
sound therapy

841
00:40:42,837 --> 00:40:44,804
is in healing of fractures.

842
00:40:44,839 --> 00:40:48,104
So there was a particular
patient that I knew of

843
00:40:48,139 --> 00:40:50,645
that had played on
an ankle fracture

844
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,680
and the ankle fracture healed
much faster

845
00:40:52,715 --> 00:40:56,585
than what the physicians really
thought that it could ever heal

846
00:40:56,620 --> 00:40:58,653
and I think it was the vibration

847
00:40:58,688 --> 00:41:00,787
that actually
created the healing.

848
00:41:00,822 --> 00:41:03,658
So it allowed the bone
to start to heal on its own

849
00:41:03,693 --> 00:41:05,099
a little bit quicker
than what otherwise

850
00:41:05,123 --> 00:41:06,694
would have occurred.

851
00:41:06,729 --> 00:41:08,190
I have a lot of clients
who come in

852
00:41:08,225 --> 00:41:10,863
that are on prescription
anxiety medication,

853
00:41:10,898 --> 00:41:12,766
and one of the goals of therapy

854
00:41:12,801 --> 00:41:15,637
is to use different modalities

855
00:41:15,672 --> 00:41:19,036
to help reduce their need
for the medication at all

856
00:41:19,071 --> 00:41:21,643
or to lower the dosage
of the medication.

857
00:41:21,678 --> 00:41:23,843
And what I have found
very quickly,

858
00:41:23,878 --> 00:41:25,713
within just several sessions,

859
00:41:25,748 --> 00:41:27,242
is we are able to do that.

860
00:41:27,277 --> 00:41:29,981
So, the prescription medication
and need for it

861
00:41:30,016 --> 00:41:31,049
is being reduced.

862
00:41:31,084 --> 00:41:35,019
I had been on a prescription
steroid, prednisone,

863
00:41:35,054 --> 00:41:36,086
for three years.

864
00:41:36,121 --> 00:41:38,220
I have hard-to-treat asthma.

865
00:41:38,255 --> 00:41:41,894
And just having
the bowls around me

866
00:41:41,929 --> 00:41:44,897
and on my physical body,

867
00:41:44,932 --> 00:41:46,734
within the course of that week,

868
00:41:46,769 --> 00:41:49,572
I ended up, for the first time
in three years,

869
00:41:49,607 --> 00:41:53,708
being completely off steroids
for almost three weeks.

870
00:41:53,743 --> 00:41:55,776
And as I continued
the treatment,

871
00:41:55,811 --> 00:41:57,910
it is keeping me
off of those steroids

872
00:41:57,945 --> 00:41:59,945
or a very low dose
of the steroids,

873
00:41:59,980 --> 00:42:04,213
where in the medical community,

874
00:42:04,248 --> 00:42:08,558
even trying a variety
of treatment combinations,

875
00:42:08,593 --> 00:42:09,801
they were not able to do that.

876
00:42:09,825 --> 00:42:12,254
So I have
a really personal story

877
00:42:12,289 --> 00:42:14,927
that goes along with
using the bowls.

878
00:42:17,767 --> 00:42:19,294
And I learned over time, really,

879
00:42:19,329 --> 00:42:22,000
that sound can vibrate the body

880
00:42:22,035 --> 00:42:23,738
in a way that takes you
to a place

881
00:42:23,773 --> 00:42:25,707
that you may not otherwise get

882
00:42:25,742 --> 00:42:27,709
when you don't have that.

I guess I should say
in my personal life,

885
00:42:33,618 --> 00:42:36,817
I did a didgeridoo
guided meditation journey.

886
00:42:45,157 --> 00:42:46,761
When I was in that journey,

887

"Oh my goodness,
this is so relaxing,"

889
00:42:50,866 --> 00:42:54,868

00:42:54,903 --> 00:42:57,970

experienced for quite some time,

And then I thought,
"My patients need this,"

In fact, in the 1970s,

899
00:43:20,126 --> 00:43:22,060
a group of medical doctors
got together

900
00:43:22,095 --> 00:43:25,030

Holistic Medical Association

901
00:43:25,065 --> 00:43:27,296
because of their interest
in the Edgar Cayce material.

902
00:43:27,331 --> 00:43:30,332
And the reason he's called
the founder of holistic medicine

903
00:43:30,367 --> 00:43:34,644
is not because he only
relies on ancient remedies

904

or because he's only
into homeopathy,

approximately 2,000 talk about
the subject of vibration.

918
00:44:06,975 --> 00:44:08,370
And according to Edgar Cayce,

919
00:44:08,405 --> 00:44:11,945
vibration is really
at the root of everything.

920
00:44:11,980 --> 00:44:13,287
Science would say that vibration

921
00:44:13,311 --> 00:44:15,377
really is how our senses work.

922
00:44:15,412 --> 00:44:17,346
Quantum physics would say that

923
00:44:17,381 --> 00:44:20,415
essentially everything
is made up of the same stuff,

924
00:44:20,450 --> 00:44:23,055
just vibrating at
different levels of vibration.

called The Humming Effect,

962

967
00:46:19,569 --> 00:46:21,503

frequency plus intent
equals healing, right?

982
00:46:56,342 --> 00:46:59,178
So, if you focus your intention

984

997

to other people,

1010
00:48:11,285 --> 00:48:13,318
but it's more of
an internal process, correct?

1011
00:48:13,353 --> 00:48:15,584
- Is that accurate?
- It's the most powerful

1012
00:48:15,619 --> 00:48:20,358
vibroacoustic sound
that we can make.

1013
00:48:20,393 --> 00:48:23,163
There are two ways
that sound affects us.

1014
00:48:23,198 --> 00:48:25,660
One is sound goes into our ears,

1015
00:48:25,695 --> 00:48:28,102
into our brain,
affecting our heart rate,

1016
00:48:28,137 --> 00:48:29,433
our respiration, our brainwaves.

1017
00:48:29,468 --> 00:48:32,139
This is called psychoacoustics.

1018
00:48:32,174 --> 00:48:36,275
It's sound going
usually from music

1019
00:48:36,310 --> 00:48:37,408
or from voice,

1020
00:48:37,443 --> 00:48:39,410
but it's going into our ears

1021
00:48:39,445 --> 00:48:41,544
through the act of hearing
or listening.

1022
00:48:41,579 --> 00:48:44,580
And basically,
it's affecting us,

1023
00:48:44,615 --> 00:48:46,615
our nervous system.

1024
00:48:46,650 --> 00:48:48,683
But the other is called
vibroacoustics

1025
00:48:48,718 --> 00:48:51,587
and these are where
the sound literally goes into us

1026
00:48:51,622 --> 00:48:54,227
on a cellular level,

1027
00:48:54,262 --> 00:48:57,395
causing our cells in our body

1028
00:48:57,430 --> 00:49:01,168
and literally a musical massage,
if you like,

1029
00:49:01,203 --> 00:49:02,972
or a sonic massage

1030
00:49:03,007 --> 00:49:07,075

powerful.

1031
00:49:07,110 --> 00:49:10,078

from my perspective,

1032
00:49:10,113 --> 00:49:14,115

grow spiritually,

1066

really do have
happier, healthier lives.

1070

a state of wellness?

1088
00:51:47,171 --> 00:51:49,501

1089

1095
00:52:07,488 --> 00:52:11,424
I think it's a huge part
of their teaching

00:52:11,459 --> 00:52:13,261
and their communication.

1097
00:52:13,296 --> 00:52:15,791
It's really happening
on different levels.

1098
00:52:15,826 --> 00:52:18,497
On one level,
it's what they're saying

1099
00:52:18,532 --> 00:52:20,532
and what they're saying
is important,

1100
00:52:20,567 --> 00:52:22,765
but on another level,

1101
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:27,209
you could say it's
at the level of vibration

1102
00:52:27,244 --> 00:52:32,181
or at the level simply
of how those sound waves come

1103
00:52:32,216 --> 00:52:34,282
and impact us.

1104
00:52:34,317 --> 00:52:38,781
It's as much a teaching
as the words themselves.

1105
00:52:38,816 --> 00:52:42,752
Our own voice
is a natural expression

1106
00:52:42,787 --> 00:52:46,954

that we are.

1107
00:52:46,989 --> 00:52:49,561
In that way, so is our face,

1108
00:52:49,596 --> 00:52:51,200
so is our smile.

You know, you just see
the person in the grocery store,

they smile, and suddenly
you feel so much better.

with our voice.

the National Radio Quiet Zone.

1136
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,966
This is an area
of 13,000 square miles

1137

whenever
the Green Bank Observatory,

then called the National
Radio Astronomy Observatory,

1141
00:54:16,012 --> 00:54:17,319
was founded,

1142
00:54:17,354 --> 00:54:19,816
as a way for us
to limit transmissions

1143
00:54:19,851 --> 00:54:22,357
that could interfere
with the telescope.

1144
00:54:22,392 --> 00:54:23,820
In radio astronomy,

1145
00:54:23,855 --> 00:54:25,723
we can observe through clouds,

1146
00:54:25,758 --> 00:54:28,462
we can observe if it's
really bright outside,

1147
00:54:28,497 --> 00:54:31,333
but we can't observe
if there's a cell tower

1148

anywhere near us.

1149
00:54:32,798 --> 00:54:35,700
So, things that interact
with our observations

1150
00:54:35,735 --> 00:54:39,341
are cell towers, TV stations,

1151
00:54:39,376 --> 00:54:43,004
anything that is emitting
lots of radio energy.

1152
00:54:43,039 --> 00:54:44,874
Here on site,

1153
00:54:44,909 --> 00:54:48,009
I'm under contract not to have
a microwave, for instance,

1154
00:54:48,044 --> 00:54:49,648
because microwaves,

1155
00:54:49,683 --> 00:54:51,078
even though all of the energy

1156
00:54:51,113 --> 00:54:54,356
is mostly sealed inside
that metal box,

1157
00:54:54,391 --> 00:54:55,357
some escapes

1158
00:54:55,392 --> 00:54:58,426
and that's radio energy
at similar frequencies

1159
00:54:58,461 --> 00:55:01,561
as we observe with
the Green Bank telescope.

1160
00:55:01,596 --> 00:55:04,993
And so,
the National Radio Quiet Zone

1161
00:55:05,028 --> 00:55:07,028
is an area in the U.S.

1162
00:55:07,063 --> 00:55:08,997
that prevents people

1163
00:55:09,032 --> 00:55:13,606
from erecting
fixed commercial transmitters

1164
00:55:13,641 --> 00:55:14,772
nearby the telescope

1165
00:55:14,807 --> 00:55:16,609
that would interact with us.

1166
00:55:16,644 --> 00:55:21,647
It keeps cell phone companies
from building things nearby,

1167
00:55:21,682 --> 00:55:24,111
which means that you don't
get cell service

1168
00:55:24,146 --> 00:55:28,423
for about an hour
surrounding the observatory.

1169
00:55:28,458 --> 00:55:31,360
There's another quiet zone
that is smaller

1170
00:55:31,395 --> 00:55:33,461
and centered right around
Green Bank.

1171
00:55:33,496 --> 00:55:35,364
It's about a ten-mile radius,

1172
00:55:35,399 --> 00:55:36,959
so significantly smaller

1173
00:55:36,994 --> 00:55:38,598
than the National Radio
Quiet Zone

1174
00:55:38,633 --> 00:55:40,831
which is 13,000 square miles.

1175
00:55:40,866 --> 00:55:43,900
This West Virginia quiet zone

1176
00:55:43,935 --> 00:55:48,971
prevents people from having
personal transmitters

1177
00:55:49,006 --> 00:55:51,611
that would interact
with the telescope.

1178
00:55:51,646 --> 00:55:53,844
So, that smaller quiet zone

1179
00:55:53,879 --> 00:55:55,615
is why I can't have a microwave

1180
00:55:55,650 --> 00:55:57,386
and I can't have Wi-Fi.

1181
00:55:57,421 --> 00:55:58,354
I do have the internet,

1182
00:55:58,389 --> 00:56:00,818
but it's all wired
over the Ethernet cable

1183
00:56:00,853 --> 00:56:02,589
and I can use my cell phone,

1184
00:56:02,624 --> 00:56:03,664
but I have a little dongle

1185
00:56:03,692 --> 00:56:06,626
that plugs it straight
into that wired internet.

1186
00:56:06,661 --> 00:56:09,992
So it's kind of wild
the ways we have to work around

1187
00:56:10,027 --> 00:56:11,895
some of these restrictions

1188
00:56:11,930 --> 00:56:13,864
that protect the telescope

1189
00:56:13,899 --> 00:56:16,064

♪

1191
00:56:17,837 --> 00:56:19,100
Since we are looking at

1192
00:56:19,135 --> 00:56:21,971
such faint signals
from outer space,

1193
00:56:22,006 --> 00:56:25,480
we can't have a lot
of stray radio energy.

1194
00:56:25,515 --> 00:56:28,846
We need to be
in this radio quiet zone.

1195
00:56:28,881 --> 00:56:30,980
We need there to be
radio silence

1196

around the site.

1197
00:56:32,555 --> 00:56:35,985
If we're going to detect
these faint signals

1198
00:56:36,020 --> 00:56:40,055
of a galaxy that is
billions of light-years away,

1199
00:56:40,090 --> 00:56:43,124
we need to be in a place
where we're not seeing

00:56:43,159 --> 00:56:45,698
someone's cell tower
from two miles away

1201
00:56:45,733 --> 00:56:48,470
broadcasting at those
same frequencies.

1202
00:56:48,505 --> 00:56:49,746
And so it's very important to us

1203
00:56:49,770 --> 00:56:52,540
to have a radio quiet
environment.

1204
00:56:52,575 --> 00:56:55,444
For people, I think there's
something also to be said

1205
00:56:55,479 --> 00:56:58,645
about the intentionality
of having silence,

1206
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,010
being able to collect
your thoughts

1207
00:57:01,045 --> 00:57:05,685
and know what it is
that you're focusing on.

1208
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:07,522
And so, that could be
a corollary

1209
00:57:07,557 --> 00:57:11,856
between radio telescopes
needing silence

1210
00:57:11,891 --> 00:57:14,595
so that we can actually
look at the objects

1211
00:57:14,630 --> 00:57:16,564
that we want to look at

1212
00:57:16,599 --> 00:57:19,127
and not have interference
from every direction,

1213
00:57:19,162 --> 00:57:22,229
and how we go about
our daily lives

1214
00:57:22,264 --> 00:57:25,606
and not have noise
from everything

1215
00:57:25,641 --> 00:57:27,839
bombarding us all the time.

1216
00:57:27,874 --> 00:57:30,171
If the telescope
at the Green Bank Observatory

1217
00:57:30,206 --> 00:57:32,206
is so sensitive

1218
00:57:32,241 --> 00:57:35,077
that things like Wi-Fi,
cell phone towers,

1219
00:57:35,112 --> 00:57:37,112
and microwaves are off limits

1220
00:57:37,147 --> 00:57:39,818
due to the disruption
they could cause,

1221
00:57:39,853 --> 00:57:43,789
then what are our surroundings
doing to us?

1222
00:57:43,824 --> 00:57:46,088
We've learned a little bit
about sound,

1223
00:57:46,123 --> 00:57:48,728
but what about silence?

1224
00:57:48,763 --> 00:57:50,565
Sitting quietly in silence

1225
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,095
I think has a great impact

1226
00:57:53,130 --> 00:57:58,771
on becoming familiar
with who you really are.

1227
00:57:58,806 --> 00:58:01,543
It's just kind of like
helped me to

1228
00:58:01,578 --> 00:58:03,644
kind of like rethink
of what it is

1229
00:58:03,679 --> 00:58:07,879
and what I can heal or what
can I do to fix a problem,

1230
00:58:07,914 --> 00:58:08,813
those kind of things.

1231
00:58:08,849 --> 00:58:11,619
So I think quiet time
is something that

1232
00:58:11,654 --> 00:58:15,524
actually makes you realize
like what you need to do.

1233
00:58:15,559 --> 00:58:17,592
All the different sounds
from the world,

1234
00:58:17,627 --> 00:58:20,694
just your day to day rigmarole,
running around,

1235
00:58:20,729 --> 00:58:22,256
dealing with this person,
that person,

1236
00:58:22,291 --> 00:58:24,632
dealing with this business,
you know, sometimes

1237
00:58:24,667 --> 00:58:27,096
you gotta clear all that noise
out of your head

1238
00:58:27,131 --> 00:58:28,669
and just take a moment
of silence

1239
00:58:28,704 --> 00:58:30,572
to kind of just regroup.

1240
00:58:30,607 --> 00:58:33,674
You know, reconnect
with yourself.

1241
00:58:33,709 --> 00:58:37,876
It's mandatory
that I do that, you know,

1242
00:58:37,911 --> 00:58:39,240
several times a day.

1243
00:58:39,275 --> 00:58:41,242
Silence is actually
really important

1244
00:58:41,277 --> 00:58:43,816
in our mental health
and physical health

1245
00:58:43,851 --> 00:58:45,719
and I can personally tell you

1246
00:58:45,754 --> 00:58:49,624
that when I spend my Sunday
planning my week ahead

1247
00:58:49,659 --> 00:58:52,154
that I will strategize
what I'm doing

1248
00:58:52,189 --> 00:58:55,597
with not just my food
but my exercise

1249
00:58:55,632 --> 00:58:57,192
and also my downtime.

1250
00:58:57,227 --> 00:58:59,997
It's home.
Silence is home.

1251
00:59:00,032 --> 00:59:01,163
This is really important,

1252
00:59:01,198 --> 00:59:02,209
I want to share this with you

1253
00:59:02,233 --> 00:59:04,606
because it's something
that a lot of people

1254
00:59:04,641 --> 00:59:07,169
who are investigating sound...

1255
00:59:07,204 --> 00:59:12,845
It took me about 15 years
to discover this really...

1256
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,243
simplistic concept.

1257
00:59:15,278 --> 00:59:18,147
The power of silence.

1258
00:59:18,182 --> 00:59:23,152
Silence is the yin
to the yang of sound.

1259
00:59:23,187 --> 00:59:25,319
Silence is the place

1260
00:59:25,354 --> 00:59:28,322
where the sound can create
the shift and changes

1261
00:59:28,357 --> 00:59:30,357
on a vibrational level,

1262
00:59:30,392 --> 00:59:35,065
on a physical, emotional,
mental, and spiritual level.

1263
00:59:35,100 --> 00:59:39,234
So after you go, "Om"...

1264
00:59:39,269 --> 00:59:42,072
♪

1265
00:59:42,107 --> 00:59:44,943
After you've done that
for five minutes, be in silence.

1266
00:59:44,978 --> 00:59:47,814
You'll be amazed,
'cause if you try to get up...

1267
00:59:47,849 --> 00:59:49,321
Well, first of all,
you might pitch over

1268
00:59:49,345 --> 00:59:51,147
because you might be
so blissed out,

1269
00:59:51,182 --> 00:59:54,183
but also, you're shifting
the frequency.

1270
00:59:54,218 --> 00:59:57,252
Allow the frequency
or frequencies

1271
00:59:57,287 --> 00:59:58,353
that you've created

1272
00:59:58,388 --> 01:00:02,323
to have the ability
to create change in yourself,

1273
01:00:02,358 --> 01:00:04,160
and silence is mandatory.

1274
01:00:04,195 --> 01:00:05,898
A lot of folks don't realize it

1275
01:00:05,933 --> 01:00:08,835
and a lot of people don't even...

1276
01:00:08,870 --> 01:00:10,837
They've never actually
been in silence

1277
01:00:10,872 --> 01:00:13,114
because they gotta keep moving,
gotta keep changing this...

1278
01:00:13,138 --> 01:00:14,236
No.

1279
01:00:14,271 --> 01:00:19,274
♪

1280
01:00:19,309 --> 01:00:23,883
Silence has always
come into my life...

1281
01:00:23,918 --> 01:00:25,951
at the right moment
and it's healed me

1282
01:00:25,986 --> 01:00:29,988
through some really, really
tragic, terrible things.

1283
01:00:30,023 --> 01:00:31,869
You know, one of the things
we're starting to see

1284
01:00:31,893 --> 01:00:33,992
is that, you know,
this area in the brain,

1285
01:00:34,027 --> 01:00:36,423
the amygdala,
that has all this chatter,

1286
01:00:36,458 --> 01:00:38,029
if we don't settle that down,

1287
01:00:38,064 --> 01:00:40,295
it's going to lead
to more health problems.

1288
01:00:40,330 --> 01:00:42,033
A big one is dementia.

1289
01:00:42,068 --> 01:00:44,002
And so, unfortunately,
in our country...

1290
01:00:44,037 --> 01:00:45,707
You know, I always say,

1291
01:00:45,742 --> 01:00:47,379
there are so many diseases
that we can reverse

1292
01:00:47,403 --> 01:00:49,436
but dementia is one
that we don't have

1293
01:00:49,471 --> 01:00:51,878
a lot of medications
to help that,

1294
01:00:51,913 --> 01:00:53,781
and once you get dementia,

1295
01:00:53,816 --> 01:00:56,245
you really are looking at
adding medication

1296
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,785
to really preserve your memory

1297
01:00:57,820 --> 01:00:59,886
and hope that you don't lose it.

1298
01:00:59,921 --> 01:01:02,053
So, you know, taking that time

1299
01:01:02,088 --> 01:01:05,155
to really rest your mind
and relax it

1300
01:01:05,190 --> 01:01:08,455
is imperative for your
overall health and longevity.

1301
01:01:08,490 --> 01:01:12,866
It balances out
one's mental state.

1302
01:01:12,901 --> 01:01:16,067
I think we fill it all the time

1303
01:01:16,102 --> 01:01:18,971
with sound and the radio

1304
01:01:19,006 --> 01:01:24,141
and especially now with this
whole political climate

1305
01:01:24,176 --> 01:01:27,111
and social media and stuff.

1306
01:01:27,146 --> 01:01:30,048
I was going nuts,
you know, watching...

1307
01:01:30,083 --> 01:01:32,446
Doing Facebook and Googling

1308
01:01:32,481 --> 01:01:34,316
and watching all the news

1309
01:01:34,351 --> 01:01:36,153
and all the events
that are happening,

1310
01:01:36,188 --> 01:01:38,485
and listening
to the radio all the time,

1311
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:41,158
and I was getting uneasy

1312
01:01:41,193 --> 01:01:42,896
and it was like,
well, what's going on?

1313
01:01:42,931 --> 01:01:45,327
It was like, oh!

1314
01:01:45,362 --> 01:01:49,837
I'm away from
that deep anchor of home.

1315
01:01:49,872 --> 01:01:53,940
That...

1316
01:01:53,975 --> 01:01:59,044
that pure, eternal nothing

1317
01:01:59,079 --> 01:02:00,980
which can't be defined.

1318
01:02:01,015 --> 01:02:05,050
In silence, there is so much.

1319
01:02:05,085 --> 01:02:09,351
There's the sound
of infinite space.

1320
01:02:09,386 --> 01:02:13,828
There's the sound
before creation.

1321
01:02:13,863 --> 01:02:16,127
There's the sound of potential.

1322
01:02:16,162 --> 01:02:21,770
There's the sound
of what wants to come forth

1323
01:02:21,805 --> 01:02:24,201
that hasn't yet come forth.

1324
01:02:24,236 --> 01:02:25,532
So often in our culture,

1325
01:02:25,567 --> 01:02:27,435
we have something
going at all times

1326
01:02:27,470 --> 01:02:31,175
and even when you choose
to have silence,

1327
01:02:31,210 --> 01:02:34,046
it's hard to attain it.

1328
01:02:34,081 --> 01:02:36,785
There's this wonderful story
about John Cage

1329
01:02:36,820 --> 01:02:39,084
where he went to a...

1330
01:02:39,119 --> 01:02:40,547
I think it was Princeton

1331
01:02:40,582 --> 01:02:44,254
where they had
an anechoic chamber,

1332
01:02:44,289 --> 01:02:46,421
so a chamber that
has as little sound

1333
01:02:46,456 --> 01:02:48,962
as you can possibly have
in a space.

1334
01:02:48,997 --> 01:02:51,228
And so he went into this space

1335
01:02:51,263 --> 01:02:55,067
and he's very interested
in silence and in sound,

1336
01:02:55,102 --> 01:02:56,343
so he thought,
"I'll go in this space

1337
01:02:56,367 --> 01:02:58,169
and see what silence
is like."

1338
01:02:58,204 --> 01:03:03,042
So the only sound in that room
was his own functioning.

1339
01:03:05,244 --> 01:03:07,475
As kind of the name implies,

1340
01:03:07,510 --> 01:03:09,917
"anechoic,"
it means without echo.

1341
01:03:09,952 --> 01:03:13,052
So, it also happens
to be very quiet.

1342
01:03:13,087 --> 01:03:15,351
So this is isolated from
the rest of the building

1343
01:03:15,386 --> 01:03:17,089
with very thick walls.

1344
01:03:17,124 --> 01:03:19,223
What you're probably hearing now
on the video

1345
01:03:19,258 --> 01:03:21,456
is a lot of my voice

1346
01:03:21,491 --> 01:03:23,293
and not much of anything else.

1347
01:03:23,328 --> 01:03:24,866
We don't hear the reverb

1348
01:03:24,901 --> 01:03:28,870
we likely hear in rooms
that you're used to.

1349
01:03:28,905 --> 01:03:31,268
We're also not going to hear
any outside influence...

1350
01:03:31,303 --> 01:03:35,041
Cars, air conditioning,
any kind of noise like that.

1351
01:03:35,076 --> 01:03:37,208

pretty pristine.

what's happening in real time.

for depression and anxiety,
the amygdala,

1365
01:05:15,572 --> 01:05:18,045

with these people with
depression and anxiety,

1367
01:05:20,115 --> 01:05:22,610

of people

1368
01:05:22,645 --> 01:05:26,350
and they put one group
on medication

1369
01:05:26,385 --> 01:05:29,023
and they put the other group
on modalities

1370
01:05:29,058 --> 01:05:33,489
like yoga, tai chi,
meditation, mindfulness,

1371
01:05:33,524 --> 01:05:35,326
things that would relax them

integrative modalities,

1374
01:05:38,463 --> 01:05:40,540
they looked at the functional
MRI of the brain again

1375
01:05:40,564 --> 01:05:43,367

a reduction in the area

a mindfulness-based approach

01:07:03,482 --> 01:07:06,549
And we all have our drive
into work,

1406
01:07:06,584 --> 01:07:09,717
you know, that we may have
to be able to be silent

1407
01:07:09,752 --> 01:07:12,060
and you can do meditation

1408
01:07:12,095 --> 01:07:13,589
and mindfulness
when you're there.

1409
01:07:13,624 --> 01:07:15,492
You know, I tell people,
don't close your eyes

1410
01:07:15,527 --> 01:07:17,604
at the traffic light, but when
you're at the traffic light,

1411
01:07:17,628 --> 01:07:19,496
you can actually just, you know,

1412
01:07:19,531 --> 01:07:23,203
kind of put your head back
on the headrest behind you

1413
01:07:23,238 --> 01:07:25,337
and breathe and just
count your breath

1414
01:07:25,372 --> 01:07:27,537
and do that
slow, deep breathing.

1415
01:07:27,572 --> 01:07:29,473
You don't have to have
the radio on,

1416
01:07:29,508 --> 01:07:31,772
you don't have to make
that phone call.

1417
01:07:31,807 --> 01:07:33,345
Do it when you're in the shower.

1418
01:07:33,380 --> 01:07:34,687
Do it when you're
brushing your teeth.

1419
01:07:34,711 --> 01:07:37,712
You know, find a spot
in your day

1420
01:07:37,747 --> 01:07:39,516
that is kind of a routine
for you

1421
01:07:39,551 --> 01:07:42,717
that you can implement
the silence

1422
01:07:42,752 --> 01:07:45,291
and the relaxation things,

1423
01:07:45,326 --> 01:07:49,196
because I think that
when you make it a habit

1424
01:07:49,231 --> 01:07:51,165
then you're always
going to have it with you.

1425
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,530
The thing I recommend the most

1426
01:07:53,565 --> 01:07:56,665
is the mindfulness exercises,

1427
01:07:56,700 --> 01:07:59,239
and you can...

1428
01:07:59,274 --> 01:08:02,209
The nice thing is you can
do them absolutely anywhere.

1429
01:08:02,244 --> 01:08:04,541
People often think
that relaxation

1430
01:08:04,576 --> 01:08:08,446
involves sitting on
a mountain in Hawaii,

1431
01:08:08,481 --> 01:08:11,416
and that sure is great
to do that

1432
01:08:11,451 --> 01:08:12,813
but how often can we do that?

1433
01:08:12,848 --> 01:08:14,650
So, if you can be on the bus

1434
01:08:14,685 --> 01:08:16,223
going to
your doctor's appointment

1435
01:08:16,258 --> 01:08:19,622
and be mindful about all
the sensory data around you,

1436
01:08:19,657 --> 01:08:22,658
not judge any of it
but try to keep in your mind

1437
01:08:22,693 --> 01:08:25,199
an awareness of all
of the different factors,

1438
01:08:25,234 --> 01:08:28,862
what you hear and what you feel,
the air on your skin

1439
01:08:28,897 --> 01:08:31,733
or the vibrations of the vehicle
as it travels,

1440
01:08:31,768 --> 01:08:33,636
and you fill your mind
with all of this

1441
01:08:33,671 --> 01:08:35,440
without judging it,

1442
01:08:35,475 --> 01:08:37,376
it crowds out
all those things like,

1443
01:08:37,411 --> 01:08:38,817
"What if I go to
the doctor's appointment

1444
01:08:38,841 --> 01:08:39,885
and they do something painful?"

1445
01:08:39,909 --> 01:08:42,183
or "What about that terrible
thing that happened

1446
01:08:42,218 --> 01:08:43,547
when I was three?"

1447
01:08:43,582 --> 01:08:45,384
You've crowded that out

1448
01:08:45,419 --> 01:08:47,353
by thinking about where you are.

1449
01:08:47,388 --> 01:08:48,783
A lot of that is how many sounds

1450
01:08:48,818 --> 01:08:52,259
can I hold in my awareness
at once?

1451
01:08:52,294 --> 01:08:54,723
So in any moment,
there could be many frequencies

1452
01:08:54,758 --> 01:08:57,858
and things happening
that we can hold in our mind.

1453
01:09:02,931 --> 01:09:06,306
Yes, you're really
in this moment

1454
01:09:06,341 --> 01:09:07,604
when you do that.

1455
01:09:07,639 --> 01:09:10,805
And so often we're not.

1456
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:13,247
We're sort of in this moment

1457
01:09:13,282 --> 01:09:15,282
while we're also thinking
about this thing

1458
01:09:15,317 --> 01:09:17,251
and being distracted
by that thing.

1459
01:09:17,286 --> 01:09:21,882
So, it's a skill to be able to
pull in that focus

1460
01:09:21,917 --> 01:09:24,687
and just be
in this moment right now.

1461
01:09:24,722 --> 01:09:25,821
There's a saying that

1462
01:09:25,857 --> 01:09:27,723
if you're stuck in the past,
you're depressed,

1463
01:09:27,758 --> 01:09:29,538
if you're stuck in the future,
you're anxious,

1464
01:09:29,562 --> 01:09:33,564
and if you're in the present,
you're calm.

1465
01:09:33,599 --> 01:09:38,536
I believe that was
Eckhart Tolle, yeah.

1466
01:09:38,571 --> 01:09:40,934
I love that idea
that we can choose

1467
01:09:40,969 --> 01:09:42,342
where we put our awareness.

1468
01:10:07,468 --> 01:10:09,930
The more you're really
supportive of your child

1469
01:10:09,965 --> 01:10:11,965
or the more you're kind
to your spouse

1470
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:13,901
or the more you really
go out of your way

1471
01:10:13,936 --> 01:10:15,573
to be of service to someone,

1472
01:10:15,608 --> 01:10:17,674
you create
an energetic resonance

1473
01:10:17,709 --> 01:10:20,644
that really can couple
with the energy of other people.

1474
01:10:20,679 --> 01:10:22,778
And I really took that to heart

1475
01:10:22,813 --> 01:10:25,011
that somehow if,
even in my own little room

1476
01:10:25,046 --> 01:10:27,618
with every day we work with
positive thoughts,

1477
01:10:27,653 --> 01:10:30,291
prayer, meditation,
affirmations,

1478
01:10:30,326 --> 01:10:32,623
that we can transform ourselves

1479
01:10:32,658 --> 01:10:35,857
and in turn
help transform society.

the vibration of the rattle,

1504
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,816
