Book Overview by Dorinne Davis
The word ‘sound’ moving forward into the 21st century has to encapsulate the terms hearing, auditory processing, music, vibration, and body rhythms into a more foundational core concept, because ‘sound’ perception or processing must now be considered to be a brain function versus an ear function. Sound travels in waves of energy. Our bodies process sound through our skin and our bones, as well as transfer sound through our many systems of the body such as our circulatory system or nervous system. And each cell of our body resonates at frequencies that only the brain can understand.
In my latest book The Cycle of Sound: A Missing Energetic Link, I introduce a previously unidentified subtle energy system of the body that exists between our voice, ear and brain. Picture sound traveling in wave forms coming towards and into the body but also exiting the body. This pattern is a cycle of sound. With each cell resonating its own frequency, one can also picture the body pulsing and resonating with many sound patterns. I have coined this to be your Signature Symphony of Sound. Imagine each cell as a musical instrument playing its own sound; then the multitude of cell instruments are each playing their own sound creating your body’s song. In effect you are creating your own personal symphony. However, is your symphony in harmony with those around you? Is your body’s song being sung in tune? If you are ‘out of tune’, your resulting personal energy is out of balance too.
How do you tune up your song and resulting symphony if your body or your life has created a dysynchrony in the balance of those frequencies, and in particular the balance between the voice, ear and brain? This can be accomplished with specifically directed sound-based therapies as determined by The Davis Model of Sound Intervention℠ and then kept in balance with the culminating personal sound balancing technique called ‘Ototoning’. Ototoning offers the potential to accelerate one’s personal response during yoga, meditation, general toning, and more because the process includes finding out what your body wants and needs most importantly to begin the balancing process. Ototoning can be utilized at any time, once learned, but initially will have the greatest impact when done in a fairly quiet environment. Ototoning can help you restore your energy, feel more productive, and support you on a path towards overall wellness. The technique will become your quick fix when your life seems off-kilter.
Sound Therapy
Sound therapy has a long history dating back for centuries. Pythagoras used sound to help his patients heal. Many healing benefits have been demonstrated with the use of sound interventions, and music therapy is a big business today. Many sound interventions rely on rhythms, patterns, beats per minute, brain synchronization, and/or general notes within musical selections to support the person towards better physical and emotional health, wellness and learning. Many forms of yoga incorporate the use of sound, mantras, chants, and tones to bring the person to a better balanced state. Physicians are exploring the benefits of sound to help their patients. For example, a New York oncologist uses sound bowls to help his oncology patients.
There are differences in how sound, and specifically sound therapy has helped to balance a person’s overall wellness. There is also a difference between sound healing, sound therapy and sound-based therapy. Sound healing uses tones, mantras, various rhythms and sound patterns, and other sounding techniques to help change the body energy patterns. Sound therapy uses specific notes of the musical scales to make change in each person’s energy patterns again with a sounding source. And sound-based therapy is a subset of sound therapy because it is more defined than just musical notes. Sound-based therapy uses sound vibration but with special equipment, specific programs, modified music, and/or specific tones/beats to make the change and only after a diagnostic evaluation determines the best therapies to use and the correct order. The Davis Model of Sound Intervention determines the correct order and monitors change so that each person can work toward personal balance of their body’s song.
Energy System: Voice-Ear-Brain Connection
While doctors, scientists, and researchers are finding fabulous new ways to help heal the body, very often these new findings work on fixing the symptom. It is wonderful to eliminate symptoms, but perhaps we need to look further from an energetic perspective. The Davis Model of Sound Intervention works to balance each person at their core issue, sometimes at such a minute cellular level that it wasn’t even identified as a concern. One of the tenets of The Davis Model of Sound Intervention shares that there are five laws which support an energetic balance between the voice, ear and brain. These laws are known as The Tomatis Effect and The Davis Addendum to the Tomatis Effect. Simply stated they share that the voice produces what the ear hears, the ear emits the same irregular frequencies as the voice, and when the correcting/balancing frequencies are re-introduced to the ear, the voice regains coherence and the brain can support and maintain the balance of the body’s frequencies better. Both the reception and expression of sound between the voice and ear creates a feedback loop which must stay in balance for the brain to monitor the body’s basic sound cellular frequencies.
Yes, the cycle of our body’s sound is receptive and expressive. People have receptively experienced the moving effects of listening to various musical selections, feeling the rhythmical patterns of drums, or reacting to the voices of a dynamic church choir. People also express or emit sound, not only through their voice or each cell as mentioned previously. The ear also emits a sound, which to date, had not been known to have a purpose. Much research has been done to determine the characteristics of this emission or sound. One researcher from England has proposed using this sound as a bio-identifier at airports. This emission can be considered a bio-identifier but from an energetic point of view. If considered within the framework of the Voice-Ear-Brain Connection, this emission provides the sound that the body wants at that moment in time to self-heal.
The science of Human BioAcoustics designed by Sharry Edwards already has supported the concept that the voice contains the irregular patterns of the body’s song. And with the Voice-Ear-Brain Connection incorporating this knowledge, Human BioAcoustics demonstrated that the body is a mathematical matrix of predictable frequency relationships. By reintroducing the correcting frequency equivalents for those out of balance, the voice, ear and brain and subsequently the body become balanced.
The Cycle of Sound: A Missing Energetic Link introduces the emission from the ear as an important piece for keeping the body in tune or balanced. Human BioAcoustics suggests that the voice provides what is out of balance in the body and with mathematical combinations of sounds provided back to the body, the body can begin to change. This new concept that the ear’s emission has a purpose builds on this statement and suggests that the ear’s emission provides what the body most wants at that moment in time to promote its own self-healing change.
This idea is totally new. Acupuncture and chakra systems were not necessarily accepted when first introduced. Homeopathy has had to prove itself repeatedly. So there is much more research needed to be done demonstrating the value and importance of the ear’s emissions. This new book introduces what seems to be a powerful subtle energy system in the body.
Ototoning
Once the sound is identified, which is taught in this book, or found with the Ototoner™ device (anticipated production in 2013), each person will use their own voice to maintain their body’s song.
Our current world is noisy!! Yet it is when there is silence that people will best be able to balance their body’s song. For in the silence, one can hear or tune into the sound their body is telling them that it wants most. Have you ever sought out quiet to get away from the noise around you? Do you search it out to find balance? Intuitively you were searching for your own sound—to find a way to rebalance yourself and your energy.
Once this sound is identified, then the technique of Ototoning becomes powerful.
The Cycle of Sound: A Missing Energetic Link shares how to Ototone by listening to the sound of your body. However, many people won’t be able to tune in that easily to this sound. A device, called the Ototoner®, is expected to be available in 2013. This device will analyze the sounds emitted by the ear and provide the exact sound that the body says it needs to work towards feeling better and becoming more energized at that moment in time. When the sound is identified, then the technique of Ototoning begins.
Is Ototoning simply toning? There are many similarities but Ototoning uses the specific note or sound that the body has identified as needing. Toning in particular has been used by many cultures. Toning using vowel sounds either individually or in mantras can change one’s physiology. These toning techniques are typically generalized and not tailored to the specific individual. As we know, we each share similar needs yet we are more importantly individually resonating bodies. We are each unique individuals with our own physical needs. Ototoning is unique for each person and group settings should be avoided.
The Ototoning process enables the individual to get “in tune.” Ototoning uses the natural sounds provided by the body to create powerful change in how we feel in body, mind and spirit. With the dysfunctional energies in the world today, whether physical or emotional, our human species is out of tune.
Each individual can identify the sound their body needs to feel well, and can jump-start a connection that supports the body towards natural self-healing. It is possible to identify what your body reveals about its sound system, and then learn how to balance the system. The process of Ototoning complements and expands yoga, meditation and toning techniques.
While the technique can be used by anyone at any time, the best effects will occur once the connection between the voice, ear and brain is balanced. This can only be demonstrated with specific testing or changed with specific sound-based therapy protocols if out of balance as designated within The Davis Model of Sound Intervention . The process for understanding the full value of the Voice-Ear-Brain connection is evolving. Edgar Cayce has been quoted as saying that sound is the medicine of the future. The Voice-Ear-Brain Connection is the current evolution of this concept.
