Psychoacoustics of Gayatri Mantra

Psycho-acoustics is the study of the perception of sound. This includes how we listen, our psychological responses, and the physiological impact of music and sound upon the human nervous system.

Biophysicist Dr. Gerald Oster showed that when a tone is played in one ear and a slightly different tone is played in the other ear, the difference causes the brain to create a third, internal tone, called a binaural beat. The theory is that this syncs the brain waves in both hemispheres, a process dubbed “brain-wave entrainment”.

Now what are the benefits of brain wave entrainment? Depending upon the type of frequency being used in the sound wave four state of mind can be achieved, these are:-

Name	Frequency Range	Benefits
Delta	1-3 Hz.	Deep sleep, lucid dreaming, increased immune functions
Theta	4-7 Hz.	Deep relaxation, meditation, increased memory, focus
Alpha	8-12 Hz.	Light relaxation, “super learning”, positive thinking
Beta	13-25 Hz.	Normal state of alertness, stress, anxiety

Carol Moore, of Monroe Products, says, “When the brain is in synchronicity, there’s focus more. Our sleep titles help drop you into the deep delta waves. Electrical activity in the brain gets slowed down”

When one experiences and went through the above first three state of relaxation there is great possibility of vanishing physical or mental diseases. But this is a bye product only. Main product is extreme stage of relaxation and beyond sense experience. 

My today concern is to represent mantras from Hinduism have capacity to bring even more than what said above. I would like to mention here some researches on Gayatri Mantra. Gayatri Mantra is the ‘Best Divine Prayer’ Hymn in the World - Dr. Howard Steingeril, American Scientist.

Dr. Howard Steingeril, an American Scientist, collected Mantras, Hymns and Invocations from from all different religions of the world and tested their strength in his physiology laboratory. He concluded that the Hindu Vedic Gayatri Mantra is the most rewarding scientifically. That the Gayatri Mantra produced 110,000 sound waves per second. This was the highest, and found it to be the most powerful prayer hymn in the world. The combination of sound and variation in the sound waves and its particular frequency is capable of developing specific spiritual potentialities.

Every word of this great mantra has capacity to produce specific types of brain waves which would be best suited to one’s spiritual and physical growth. So, Gaytari Mantra and others mantras too have capacity to produce different brain waves in the brain. 

The Hamburg University initiated this research into the efficacy of the Gayatri Mantra both on the mental and physical plane of creation. Continuous repetition of Gayatri Mantra creates a magnetic charge to link the mind with supernatural power currents. 

Surprising fact is that - The Gayatri Mantra is now being broadcast daily for 15 minutes from 7 P.M. onwards over Radio Paramaribo, Surinam for the past four years, and also in Amsterdam, Holland for the past 3 years. But we at India are not much aware about this research work and its practical implementation. 

When this mantra is chanted in rhythmic tone with ups and downs, they create a melodious effect in the two hemispheres of the brain in human body. This effect can be defined as the Neuro-linguistic effect. Another great thing is that the “Neuro- Linguistic” effect will be possible even if you do not know the meaning of the mantra. Hence knowing the meaning of every mantra is not compulsory. What does it mean? – It means that each word of the mantra has been psycho acoustically designed to produce sound of such frequency that suited for desired brain wave results. 

Listening Gayatri mantras directly lowers blood pressure, normalizes heart beat rate, brain wave pattern, adrenalin level, even cholesterol level.

I have already explained this fact in my previous article, Sound – The Medicine of the Future. http://yogamylifeblog.blogspot.in/2017/01/sound-medicine-of-future.html

Spiritual People are more Strong than Onthers

Spirituality and our Brain – Spiritual Psychology

Spiritual Psychology is an emerging science in field of spiritualism and psychology. There is couple of researches on effect of meditation on body. A new collaborative study between professors at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric on powerful and positive effects of meditation on human body and the brain has been now taking these findings one step further. In their findings they have found a direct correlation between the levels of importance of a person places on spirituality in their lives and the thickness of certain regions of their brains.

The study found that the people who are strongly believe in their tradition and religion and who are spiritual in accordance to their religions had significantly thicker cerebral cortices—a part of the brain rich in highly active neural networks responsible for sensory perception, language and emotion processing—than those who did not.

MRI scans of 103 adults of ages 18-25 were used in this study. All participants were asked to rate the importance of spirituality or spiritual values in their lives. Now the participants who were more inclined to their spiritual values had measurably thicker cerebral cortices compared to those who did not. The latter group was found to be more prone to depression.  

Sound - The medicine of Future

The Healing effect of Sound.

Sound has a healing effect that can cure any part of our body. This healing effect of sound can be used to help people suffering from chronic and others diseases.  

Joshua Leeds, the author of “The Power of Sound” explains how sound works by, “Creating a frequency and vibration for someone that’s conducive for him or her to heal. Sound healing is trending up. It’s like where yoga was 15 years ago. People are realizing that sound is a viable medium to minimize distress, enhance learning, even work with an autistic child.”

Our brain has two hemispheres, left hemisphere and right hemisphere. Biophysicist Gerald Oster showed that when a tone is played in one ear and a slightly different tone is played in the other ear, the difference causes the brain to create a third, internal tone, called a binaural beat. The theory is that this syncs the brain waves in both hemispheres, a process dubbed “brain-wave entertainment”.

Carol Moore, of Monroe Products, which makes Hemisphere’s-Synchronization verbal meditations and music that contain embedded binaural beats, says, “When the brain is in synchronicity, there’s focus more. Our sleep titles help drop you into the deep delta waves. Electrical activity in the brain gets slowed down”

Brain-wave entertainment is when sound syncs the brain waves in both hemispheres of brain. 

According to Jamie Bechtold, a Los Angeles-based sound healer. Sound waves have ability to increase immunity and treat insomnia.  

Jeffrey Thompson, founder of the Center for Neuroacoustic Research, say, “As the frequencies slow down, from 500 to 400 hertz (a hertz is one cycle per second), you feel it more in your muscles, then your joints, then in your bones. We can give a vibration massage, down all the way to your cells. I can do cranial work with sound, work on organs. You’re finding frequencies to elevate the body’s cells to a super-healing state, rebuilding more tissue.”

There’s more on sound science than ever before. Joshua Leeds’s state, the future of sound will be frequency medicine.

Stop the thoughts otherwise they become the mental patterns and then diseases.

Our mind is a series of related or unrelated thoughts. Everyone experience it. But did you think ever that your thoughts are only responsible for your present situation of life. Illness, wellness, and wealth you have, personality you possesses everything bad or good related to you is an outcome of your way of thinking or simple of your thoughts. There could be many types of thoughts bad, good, irritating, sad, negative, emotional, spiritual and others too. Every thought has the potential to go deeply into the mind. Every thought come to your mind is need a solution to go out. If you would not give a way to every thought come to you, it will went deep into the mind and it would remains in your mind forever in form of positive or negative tendencies. If not treated long times it may takes form of a diseases; a chronic disease too. So, be very careful about this. Every thought should be treated and neutralized properly to stop them becoming negative of positive tendencies. 

What is the way to stop thoughts from going deep into your mind?

The only way to deals with the thoughts is our attitude toward them. If you want to neutralize a thought your way of thinking should also be neutral. Suppose for example, you either like or dislike the thought of fever, that thought will come to you again and again. Why it comes again and again to you; because you have and attitude for it; you like or dislike it. The moment you drop your attitude of liking or disliking the particular thought; it will cease quickly. It means if you remain neutral toward any thought; it will also become neutral and never cause any harm to you. It is your association with the thought that is charging the thought with positive or negative charge.
