An introductory exploration of the science and power of sound to affect our emotions and help us to better engage "The Flow" of life. This .pdf includes speaker notes!
The document discusses the brain and brain waves. It describes how the brain communicates electrochemically through electrical impulses produced by the movement of neurotransmitters between neurons. These electrical impulses produce brain waves that can be measured by EEG. There are different types of brain waves (delta, theta, alpha, beta) associated with different mental states. Brainwave entrainment uses stimuli like binaural beats or isochronic tones to consciously alter brain wave patterns and access different states of mind.
What Happens to our Brain when we Hear MusicFinal Assignment .pptxKarenHayes41
1) When we hear music, sound waves enter the ear and cause vibrations that transmit messages through the outer, middle, and inner ear to the brain.
2) These messages travel to various areas of the brain involved in processing music like the auditory cortex, thalamus, amygdala, and more.
3) Different areas are activated depending on the type of music and level of expertise, helping produce emotional responses and motor functions like foot tapping.
The role of the cochlea in auditory perceptiontonygunning
The document reviews the role of the cochlea in auditory perception. It discusses how sound vibrations travel through the outer, middle and inner ear before reaching the cochlea. The cochlea distinguishes between frequencies and contains hair cells that transmit signals to the brain. Damage to the cochlea or hair cells can cause hearing loss or dysfunction. The cochlea plays a key role in the complex process of auditory perception.
Sound and vibration awareness course day 2Neil Gaur
This document discusses the connections between quantum physics, metaphysics, vibration, frequency and sound healing. It explains that all things in the universe are made of energy and vibration. Certain frequencies like the Solfeggio scale and 432hz are said to have spiritual and health benefits. Sacred geometry shapes are also explained as representations of harmonic frequencies in the universe. The document suggests that sound, vibration and consciousness are all interconnected and that quantum physics can help unite science and spirituality.
The document discusses how the ear works and what sound is. It explains that the ear is made up of the outer, middle and inner ear. Sounds enter the outer ear as vibrations and hit the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. The vibrations are transferred through the middle ear bones (hammer, anvil, stirrup) to the inner ear where hair cells in the cochlea convert the vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The document also discusses how sound travels in molecules and waves, as well as providing diagrams, fun facts and a quiz about the ear.
Music activates the brain's reward system through the release of dopamine in response to both anticipated and actual pleasurable musical experiences. Neuroimaging studies have shown that listening to emotionally evocative music engages subcortical structures involved in reward and emotion. The auditory cortex also responds strongly to music that listeners choose to purchase, and communicates with the striatum. This cross-talk may help explain why music moves and rewards humans on a deep level.
Music activates the brain's reward system through the release of dopamine in response to both anticipated and actual pleasurable musical experiences. Neuroimaging studies have shown that listening to emotionally evocative music engages subcortical structures related to reward and motivation. The auditory cortex also responds to music and is involved in imagining, predicting, and encoding musical patterns based on past musical experiences. The interplay between the brain's reward pathways and auditory prediction mechanisms may help explain why music is so emotionally moving and intrinsically valuable to humans.

The document summarizes how hearing works. Sound waves enter the outer ear and vibrate the eardrum, transmitting vibrations through the middle ear bones. This causes fluid in the inner ear's cochlea to displace hair cells, sending signals along the auditory nerve. There are three theories about how frequency and location allow hearing - the frequency theory, place theory, and volley principle which combines aspects of the first two. Hearing information is processed through the thalamus and auditory cortex in the temporal lobe.

The document describes how sound travels through the ear to be heard, with sound waves entering the outer ear and causing the eardrum and bones of the middle ear to vibrate, which transmits the vibrations to the fluid and hair cells of the inner ear that send signals to the brain. It details the roles of the outer, middle, and inner ear, including how different parts like the pinna, eardrum, bones, and cochlea work together to detect sound and transmit information to the brain. The process is explained as mechanical rather than chemical like other senses.
Sensing the World Assignment: Captain Jack Sparrowc_walker11
The document summarizes the five human senses - vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. It describes the basic anatomy and physiology of each sensory system, from the sensory receptors to the pathways in the brain where sensory information is processed. It also provides examples from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies of how Captain Jack Sparrow relies on and uses each of his senses in various situations.
The document defines and describes the five basic senses - sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It provides details on the organs and biological mechanisms associated with each sense. Sight is mediated by the eyes and retina, while hearing involves the ears, middle ear bones, and cochlea. Taste receptors are located on the tongue and palate, and smell receptors are in the nasal cavity. The sense of touch is distributed throughout the body via nerve endings in the skin and other tissues. Each sense relies on specialized sensory receptors and neural pathways that provide information to the brain.
This document provides an overview of sound, including its production through sound waves, how our ears perceive it, and examples of sound in nature. It begins with an introduction to sound and key terminology like amplitude, frequency, tone, and resonance. It then describes the anatomy of the ear and how hearing aids work. Sound waves are explained as vibrations that travel in peaks and troughs, with higher pitches having faster vibrations. Examples of high and low frequency sounds are given. The document concludes with examples of animal sounds in nature and how echoes are produced.

The document concludes with examples of animal sounds in nature and how echoes are produced.
This document discusses sensation and perception. It begins by defining sensation as the process by which our receptors receive stimulus energy from the environment, and perception as interpreting sensory information to recognize meaningful objects and events. It then discusses topics like bottom-up and top-down processing, thresholds, sensory adaptation, the senses of vision and hearing, and how we locate sounds. For vision, it describes the eye anatomy and visual information processing in the brain. For hearing, it outlines the parts of the ear and theories of how we perceive loudness and pitch.
The document is a research paper that examines the relationship between music and the brain. It discusses how music affects brain development and function, stimulating areas related to memory, emotion, cognition and more. Music can impact other organs and aspects of the body as well, such as heart rate. The paper also explores how music is used in therapies for conditions like Parkinson's and speech impediments. While the effects of music are complex, research increasingly shows it can enhance brain activity and inspire creativity and problem solving.
This document provides an overview of sensation, perception, and the human senses. It defines sensation as the process of receiving sensory data from the environment, while perception involves interpreting and making sense of sensory stimuli. The main human senses - vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste - are described in terms of their basic mechanisms and receptors. Key concepts in perception such as gestalt laws of organization, perceptual constancy, and depth perception are also summarized. The document concludes with a short reflection question about the relationship between sensation and perception.
This document discusses how our senses of vision, hearing, and balance work. It describes:
1) How light enters the eye and is focused on the retina, where it stimulates rod and cone cells that send signals along the optic nerve to the brain.
2) The theories of how we perceive color, including that we have cone cells sensitive to different wavelengths and the opponent-process theory of color vision.
3) How sound waves enter the ear, vibrate the eardrum and bones, and stimulate hair cells in the cochlea to send signals to the brain.
4) The theories of how we hear pitch and frequency, including the frequency, place, and volley theories
The document discusses auditory sensation and the anatomy and physiology of the human auditory system. It describes the three parts of the ear - outer, middle, and inner ear. The outer ear collects sound waves and directs them to the eardrum. The middle ear contains three small bones that transmit vibrations to the inner ear. In the inner ear, hair cells in the cochlea transduce vibrations into neural signals that travel to the brain. The brain processes these signals to perceive sound. Different theories explain how pitch is perceived. Hearing impairments can occur due to damage in the outer, middle, or inner ear or auditory nerves.
The document discusses the senses of vision, audition, olfaction, gustation, and cutaneous sensitivities. It defines sensation as the process of sensing our environment through our senses, while perception is how we interpret those sensations. Finally, it explores theories of how our sensations are organized and interpreted, allowing us to make sense of what we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell.
The document summarizes key points about sensation from a seminar presented by Ms. Yashaswini P.S. It defines sensation as experiences that occur through the sense organs. It describes the five main types of sensations according to the sense organs (visual, auditory, olfactory, taste, and tactual). It provides details on the sensory organs and processes involved for each type of sensation, such as how light stimulates visual sensation in the eyes and sound waves stimulate auditory sensation in the ears. The document also outlines the main elements of the sensation process, including quality, intensity, extensity, duration, and clarity.
External stimuli final presentation by zahid bhattiZahid Bhatti
The document discusses nerve impulses, external stimuli, and sensory organs. It defines key terms like neuron, nerve, nerve impulse, and stimulus. It explains how nerve impulses are transmitted along neurons through the interaction of sodium and potassium ions, causing changes in the resting potential and the generation of action potentials. The document also describes several sensory organs - the eye, ear, tongue, nose, and skin - and how they detect various external stimuli like light, sound, taste, smell, pain and touch through specialized receptor cells.
Sensation and perception involve two processes - sensation, which is the detection of stimuli by the senses, and perception, which is the interpretation and organization of sensory information. Sensation occurs through sensory receptors in organs like the eyes, ears, and skin that detect stimuli and transmit neural signals. Perception involves higher-level cognitive processes in the brain that allow us to understand and make sense of sensory information. The document provides details on the sensory systems for vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch and how stimuli are detected and transmitted by receptors in each system to be perceived.
The document discusses the human senses and how they work. It provides details on the sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin), stimuli they detect, and the resulting senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch). It describes the common pathway from stimulus detection by receptors to nerve signal transmission and brain response. Sections are dedicated to each sense, detailing the anatomy of sensory organs, how stimuli are detected, and nerve signal transmission. Diagrams illustrate the structures and processes discussed.

The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
2. Pt I:The Singing Bowls
Genie Johnson
Heartfelt Welcome & Introduction
- 8+ years, -found and first played the singing bowls at a New Year’s Eve prayer vigil
- later, while learning to play them, I also started sharing my poetry at coffee houses
– AC Poetry, a blend of singing and spoken verse, after initially drawing a blank on
stage, I joked my way through it to go on to share a deeply emotive, At one point the
room was so STILL and quiet, it was as if we were all breathing together…
- After several more similar experiences and individuals sharing their stories of
emotional healing with me…
- That sparked years of reading, studying, practicing all things sound related,
studied online with Globe Institute for a Sound Healing Certification while
simultaneously completing 3.5 year coursework to become a Prayer Practitioner
and Spiritual Coach, and Recently wrapped up an associates at Collin to learn more
about biology and human anatomy and the physics of sound…
2
3. Around the Room:
Moving experiences
with sound and/or music!
- Let’s take a moment to be still, go within, and reflect on some of our most
moving/emotional experiences with Sound
- In getting to know each other better, afterwards we’ll go around the room and
share
- 3 Tingshas – 3 Breaths, reminding us to breathe - deeper, following the sound
into the silences, into the subtle and quiet spaces within
- Call to mind a time – when you found that you were particularly moved by a sound
you were hearing…
- Without overthinking it, just allow an experience of being moved by sound
to come to you…
- PAUSE – maybe you were in nature – listening to the breeze through the
trees… maybe listening to a live symphony orchestra… maybe it was a
baby’s laughter… and yes, even could be your favorite song
- Take the next few breaths to allow the details of the experience to come to
life, paying particular attention to how you felt, and perhaps to any
resulting associations that your brain has made to that sound …
- Gently bring awareness back into the room… around the room, name,
describe your experience, & how it made you feel
3
4. “If you want to find the
secrets of the universe,
think in terms of energy,
frequency, and vibration.”
- Nikola Tesla
Read slowly
Let sit for a second before next slide ☺

5. Today, together we’ll:
* Embark on an introduction to the science
of sound as it relates to our brains &
emotions
* Explore Mindful Listening as a practice
in achieving a heightened sense of mental
focus via the Singing Bowls
*Agenda Cards
After exploring some of the interesting and trending science of sound,
- it’s my highest hope that you’ll leave with a practical means of more consciously
living in the “The Flow” of life. …
- Today is about expanding our awareness of, the deeper, intrinsic, almost innate
rhythms that Connect us.

6. Everything is Vibrating!
Waves, Hertz, & Resonant Frequencies
http://scienceprimer.com/types-of-waves
From the most basic building blocks of life on atomic levels – electrons, protons,
neutrons… all shake and rotate around a buzzing nucleus,
And forming, bonds with other vibrational structures/these atoms - become
molecules, become tissues of our bodies and elements of our planet, and other
planets in our solar system, galaxy, …
Rather we can discern the Sound with our ears or not, all things, largest to smallest
scales and in-between are vibrating and creating waveforms
Types of waves –
Go to the linked site for types of waves –
in showing the different types of waves also talk about FREQUENCY
Note: that the wave of energy is what is moving/propagating across the room…
terms like transverse and longitudinal are descriptions of how the particles
within the wave are moving – in relation to the direction of the wave itself
Point out the circular motion of the surface waves… as a more accurate description
of what must be a result of the forces pulling on each molecule
6
7. Note: circular rotations of the planet can also be thought of as a standing wave with a
frequency…)
All things vibrating, are believed to have a resonant frequency, that is, it vibrates at its
own natural frequency.
AGAIN Frequencies are considered to be the number of waves passing a point / per
unit of time. Most commonly measured in Hertz or waves per second.
I.e. Each of the bowls have a resonant frequency… body organs as well and there’s a
lot of really exciting science about resonance and how it can be used to help improve
our health!!

See E = mC2 Differently!
Everything is Vibrating!
As a matter of fact, Matter is standing waveforms?
Along the lines of the wave itself being energy that is propagating through a medium
– have a look at these presently used atomic models…
This is an image of a hydrogen atom on the left and what’s termed as the “possible
orbital” of electrons within it,
and an electron on the right and it’s our first attempts at peering into the quantum
realm.
This is science that I’m still working to wrap my head around, but what strikes me
about this image is that the smaller and smaller scale that we’re able to peek
into/quantum realm of quarks and such,… the more & more space reveals itself… and
possible wave patterns
Before moving forward ask the group are they clear on What’s meant by the term
Frequency? Or resonant frequency?

9. Brain Waves & Heart Waves
In further considering frequencies and/or resonant frequencies
… In recent years, since the 20’s really, we’ve been able to measure frequencies of
brain waves, with the Electro-encephalogram, to help discern at least 5 discernable
states of consciousness.
Highlight that the brain, through its brain cells/neurons, is constantly sending and
receiving messages from every part of the body. We use the EEG machine to
measure averages of these individual “firings” while individuals are engaged in things
like everyday ordinary tasks, to extreme states of meditation,
Gamma…, Beta…, Alpha…, Theta, and Delta…
Incidentally the heart’s electromagnetic waves are measured with an EKG machine...
These waves are effected by our beliefs and emotions.
Just waves and frequencies right? And so much more…

& Huygens’s Principle
Speak to radial wave front propagating out from a source as original teaching models.
Now we know about things like, Huygens’s Principle which states that within these
wave fronts, the molecules within are also creating smaller wavelets, inside of the
front!

14. Resonance and Hearing!
http://www.amplifon.ie/interactive-ear/index.html
Sound waves enter through the ear canal to reach the eardrum. The eardrum then
passes the vibrations through the middle ear bones (ossicles) into the inner ear or
cochlea, which is filled with thousands of tiny hair cells, that first resonate with the
sound waves, before converting the vibrations into electrical signals, which are then
sent to the brain through the hearing nerves.

Emotional Responses to Sound

17. A 2009 report from Sweden's
Lund University put forward
six psychological mechanisms
through which emotions may
be produced when the brain
reacts to sound.
16
18. 1) BRAIN STEM REFLEX:
When the acoustic characteristics of
the sound (i.e. loud or dissonant)
signal a "potentially important and
urgent event", causing us to react on
an instinctive level.
6 Psychological Mechanisms through which emotions may be
produced when the brain reacts to sound.
Always listening – we are born with this
17
19. 2) EVALUATIVE CONDITIONING:
When an emotion is elicited by sound
because we have heard it repeatedly
in a certain setting, leading to an
association between sound and
setting.
6 Psychological Mechanisms through which emotions may be
produced when the brain reacts to sound.
i.e. Pavlov experiments, we are also believed to be born with this ability
18
20. 3) EMOTIONAL CONTAGION:
When we perceive the emotion
expressed by a piece of music: the
music doesn't necessarily sound sad,
but rather we recognize it as
expressing sadness.
6 Psychological Mechanisms through which emotions may be
produced when the brain reacts to sound.
This is something that’s said to be learned in early development years or the first few
years of life
Curious to consider, sound as a packet of information – carrying things like the shape
of the wave fronts for example, as well as things like the feeling of the one “speaking”
or creating the sound…
As compared to things like how the writer of the music actually felt while writing the
piece, how they intended the piece to make the listener feel, and what associations
the listener has made to the sounds, frequencies, and harmonies/melodies within the
piece as a result of our their own life experiences
19
21. 4) VISUAL IMAGERY:
When the structure of a piece of
music makes us imagine certain
scenes or sensations, such as a
rising melody connecting with the
sensation of moving upwards.
6 Psychological Mechanisms through which emotions may be
produced when the brain reacts to sound.
This is also said to be learned in early developmental years and builds on the previous
in that it’s almost kinesthetic
i.e. gong sometimes people mention feeling like they are floating – (and then feeling
whatever emotional association they’d make with that feeling)
20
22. 5) EPISODIC MEMORY:
Also known as the "Darling, they're
playing our tune" phenomenon - when
a particular sound or piece of music
evokes a powerful memory.
6 Psychological Mechanisms through which emotions may be
produced when the brain reacts to sound.
Learned during childhood and later in life…
Mariah Carey I had a Vision of love… ☺
21
23. 6) MUSIC EXPECTANCY:
This is tied to our experiences with
music: for instance, an unfamiliar
variation on a standard note
progression may cause feelings of
surprise and curiosity.
6 Psychological Mechanisms through which emotions may be
produced when the brain reacts to sound.
I would add, that the opposite is true as well. Familiar melodies can enhance /cause
a shared experience of elation based on mental reward when the next parts of the
progression are known and engaged together. It’s one of the primary positive results
of doing music in community…
A word HERE about my personal theory on why Sacred Sound is so effective at
helping us to stay engaged and mindfully present - no patterns per se
keeps calling us back to attention…

24. Aligning Emotions & Mental Focus with SoundCoherence & Mindful Listening
So circling back a bit to how the brain waves can be measured, showing at least 5
discernable states of consciousness. Here is where the rubber/the science, starts to
meet the road/the practice.
We can use sound and mindful listening in practical ways that increase our
awareness of when we are shifting into these states, and then more consciously
engaging them even “off the matt” to help us be in “The Flow” of life.
The singing bowls for example have been scientifically proven through the natural
process of entrainment, to slow the brain waves and to help induce:
- The Relaxation Response which is… the opposite of the fight or flight response,
and is beneficial in most healing regimens,
- Heightened Learning states… like the Theta state where we tend to retain things
learned better…
- Additionally an often overlooked source of energy for humans is the
power available to us through our emotions.
From a purely scientific standpoint, just talking physics of the waveforms of emotions,
which remember play a key role in powering the electro-magnetic field around the
heart, - are also themselves vibrational waveforms – literally energy in motion
23
25. as combined with mental focus and sound, can enhance the experience of said states
by helping inspire us to focus longer.

is the essence of life.”

27. Here’s a little assignment for the sonically
curious: Set a timer for five minutes, and
with each exhale, let out a relaxed hum on
one long, sustained tone. Notice how you
feel. Next, set your timer for another five
minutes, and do the same practice, this time
adding an intention, perhaps a part of the
body you want to send vibration to, and a
quality you’d like to cultivate in yourself. If
this piques your interest, try it again
tomorrow, and observe your response.

A word on mindful listening HERE

28. “One proven way sound affects us is by altering our brain waves
through entrainment, the natural process of things falling into
step. Another way sound is known to work on the body is
through the vagus nerve, which starts in the brain just behind
the ears and connects to all of the body’s major organs. Since it
directly stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system—the “rest
and digest” versus the sympathetic or “fight or flight” mode—the
vagus nerve is key to a healthy system. Soothing sounds, and
particularly our own voice in the form of humming, send a
message of calm via the vagus nerve and act as a fast track to
the body’s relaxation response.” http://www.sonima.com/meditation/sound -healing/

30. ABOUT THE SINGING BOWLS:
The ancient or older bowls are said to be
made of a 7 metal blend, including metals
like gold, silver, copper, iron… Started
showing up in the west after China invaded
Tibet in the 50’s. Tibetan traditions date
the bowls back as far as 560 -480 B.C.( up to
about 2500 years ago…) but, no one knows
for sure how long they’ve been used
specifically for the purpose of “singing”.
The crystal bowls however, have more
recently debuted on the “sound healing”
scene. The first ones we know of are said
to have been made in the 80’s and have
been being used in healing settings since
the 90’s. They are made mostly of silica
sand(of quartz crystals) and tuned to
specific frequencies.
They are used for stress reduction, deep
relaxation, mindfulness practices… in
schools, medical & psychiatrists offices, by
masseuses,…
28
31. RESEARCH & EFFECTS ON MOOD…
Research findings are showing that Singing bowls
meditations may be a “feasible low-cost, low
technology intervention for reducing feelings of
tension, anxiety, and depression”
The majority of singing bowl studies relate to the
physics of these musical instruments, including the
sonic and wave properties. In one study, singing
bowls were used for emotional healing with high -risk
youth as part of what was termed the best self-
visualization method. The bowls were used in a
psychotherapy model in combination with deep
breathing, visualization, and a loving kindness
meditation. The authors reported that this
combination of healing methods may be a catalyst for
emotional and psychological healing in counseling
sessions.
29
32. HOW TO PLAY THE SINGING BOWLS
Lay the bowl on the flat of your palm or
position on floor on top of an O-ring for
stability and
take a few centering breaths...
There are two primary ways of playing the
bowls:
1. Using an upward arching stroke to gently
glance the side of the bowl
2. With even pressure, slowly glide the
mallet around the upper rim of the bowl
allowing the sound to rise
*Best playing techniques are learned by playing individual bowls over
time.

33. A Closing Thought –
“If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that
vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we
understand that sound is heard not only through our ears
but through every cell in our bodies.”

As Director of Medical Oncology
and Integrative Medicine at the
Cornell Cancer Prevention Center
in NewYork
