The bases of Joppa meditation is that. Silence is all there was in the beginning. It is what makes a song a song, if the notes did not have a space their would be no song. I believe that those of us (basically this whole tribe) who are more intune with others emotions are put hear to help. Everyone is put here to serve, but sometimes those under the most attack have the potential to be GREAT helpers.

I'm one of the lucky ones that can (through 3rd eye) see the sound waves... Took a while to learn how to ignore most. Of course, the most painful I've "seen" was my newborn niece, before she learned to communicate with me. Sometimes I just wish that, since she's 7 mo old now, she'd communicate with her momma like she does me. Unfortunately, I'm more sensitive, so that's not going to happen for a long while... Before ya'll ask, yes, babies are much more affected by sounds than you think. They're preferences start in the womb, and take it from my niece, can be completely different from the parents' (she prefers the weird wacky stuff I do).

The duration, amplitude, style and type of sound also effects. The Chines, would put a p.o.w. into a 100 Gal. steel drum, and beat both ends of the drum non-stop for three days with hammers. After three days, out pops a perfectly tractable mind. A little extreme considering the post, but a reminder of the end result of billions of dollars in psychological research and testing that go into advertising. Advertising news and moviemakers all employ sound and visual stimuli in order to create a predictable result. Prison holding areas here in British Columbia employ a specific hue of pink that causes a biological reaction in people entering the painted areas. The result is a 30 percent decrease in physical strength, as well as an inability to produce levels of adrenaline. I read my woman to sleep sometimes by changing the tone of my voice when I see her drifting off while I am reading to her. Two minutes later she is rem. So, do sound waves propagate predictable patterns in humans, ask the U.S./Russian Governments. They've been studying the phenomena for decades. IMO... If you wish to answer this question quickly and thoroughly, go over to the t.v. set and unplug it.

Crescendos aren't meant to be sustained, and all of the noises combined just have to contribute to our level of societal stress, I imagine. For my Yoga class (we've managed to commandier a break/lunch room twice a week where I work) I'll run around the room prior to class and YANK the soda machine cords out of the walls - hearing the compressors running through their cycles while trying to stay calm and centered can really harsh your mellow, you know? ;o) Wed, 19 Jul 2006 20:54:14 GMT http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/d656b688-7238-4218-9461-9e4ec99d334b#45cbb3ed-3286-4558-9186-f05bc4a3af7b Misha 2006-07-19T20:54:14Z http://empaths.tribe.net/thread/d656b688-7238-4218-9461-9e4ec99d334b#d4207835-7ebd-4315-9da1-02e6cdee7534 Kind of says something, doesn't it? :-) The extras sure do pile up, don't they?

And we've (almost) all become so accustomed to the ambient noise pollution, that it rarely hits us just how damn NOISY it really is! I'm remembering a study I heard about a L-O-N-G time ago where it was found that when people were asked to just hum a single note, whatever came to them as feeling like a "natural" tone, it tended to resonate with the sound of their electrical system in their homes - the buzzing of our outlets and electrical fixtures and devices! Part of the study compared people in England vs. Americans, and they found that, since the electrical systems resonate at a different frequency in each country, the study's participants would hum a note that was most closely resonant with their home country's electrical hum. (Sure wish I could find that study documentation . . . ) Interesting to me in that we don't know how many different influences converge on a daily basis to influence our moods and choices, and serve to mold us in our daily lives. The chemicals in our foods, fluorescent lights, air conditioning, microwaves, magnetism, electrical currents, etc., all these things we live with on a daily basis and accept as being normal, and almost NONE of these things were a factor of daily life not so very long ago . . . NPR has had an interesting sound campaign going on lately - people have been sending them soundbites of noises that they found interesting - some of them are kind of neat, some are silly, some are thought-provoking. Rock on, NPR! ;o) http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5458371 Enjoy yourselves today!
