Color and Sound Healing: Amplifying Our Senses

The people behind Brainwave Power Music were recently engaged in a part of a project collaboration with a group called Aesthetics & Therapeutics Lab, consisting of art therapist Dr. Marina Masic and media artist Jakob LeBaron Dwight, who formed to initiate experiments and installations in art and healing.

This project collaboration was held last June 2014 and the Aesthetics & Therapeutics Lab had installed their first immersive multisensory environment in the Vortex Immersion Media Dome in Los Angeles, as part of the group immersive Art exhibition MORPHOS.

What are MultiSensory Environments? 
"Multi-Sensory Environments (MSE's) are artificial or enriched environments that can be configured to interface with any individual level of abilities. MSE is a “dynamic interactive process utilizing the natural process of sensory stimulation and feedback analysis from the environment.” It is a designed space to interact with a person’s ‘Sensory diet’ by utilizing Controlled Sensory Input (CSI). MSE's are devoted to all of the senses; different pieces of equipment provide visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory inputs."

Aesthetics & Therapeutics Lab conceived four modules designed to investigate different areas of functioning using Multi Sensory Environments:
  • Color Fields and Changes
  • Light and Sound Environments (LSE)
  • Perception: Use of Abstract Paintings for Joint Attending and Interactivity
  • Spa & Dream Space Consciousness 

Our own music was used in their Light and Sound Environment (LSE) installation that involved light and sound therapy. The main concept for this was to stimulate healing and consciousness through the different spectrums of color, light, as well as audio and motion perceptions. Their target usage were for the treatment of Autism, Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD, depression, OCD, anxiety, insomnia, circadian rhythm disorder, Alzheimer’s and Dementia, Learning and Communication Disorders.
The Project Method of the LIGHT & SOUND ENVIRONMENTS module:
LSE is a module ATL has been working on composed of Immersive Spatial Light and Sound tracking in the environment. Applying the principles of Phototherapy, Light is a beneficial communication technology that can be adapted for healing. The principle of Sound is a second major component to this module.  By utilizing surround sound speakers in the dome Environment, as well as Binaural beats, a subtle effect of sound integrates in a 3 Dimensional experience.  Incorporating MSE principles of directing the viewer’s engagement to follow various ambient sounds in different space works to promote spatialization awareness and a greater sense of proprioception.

Additionally, Binaural Beats and isochronic tones for brainwave entrainment will also be integrated to explore effects of vibratory technology. 

Listen to snippets of Brainwave Power Music's audio tracks on their website, and see the beautiful imagery they used for this exhibition:


The video below is the full-length version that was used in ATL's project:





We do believe that color and sound plays an important role in the balancing and healing of our individual mind and bodies. Such with interior decorators who recommend certain color spectrums for different types of rooms to correctly exert the needed mood, sound offers a similar auditory healing aspect, and we were very excited to be a part of this project.

We hope that more artists, such as Marina and Jakob, will continue to flourish in their arts and exhibitions, and hopefully awaken and engage more audiences about the mysterious healing aspects of lights and sound as we, ourselves, continue to create more sound therapy music using binaural beats and isochronic tones and provide everyone the type of auditory healing that would resonate well with them.

Earth Resonances and Cosmic Frequencies: Do they really affect us?

At Brainwave Power Music, we don't just deal with music creation, we also do research study on the different effects of frequency and vibration, as we are always hopeful to awaken everyone to open their minds in coming to understand and gain more knowledge about what we can benefit from these types of vibratory audio perceptions.

There are on-going studies in the scientific circle on how sound seemed to have been used as healing tool elements during ancient times. There are researches still being sought after on the mysterious effects of certain Earth-bound and cosmic frequencies emit that apparently influence human behavior.

Why is that? What have we not come to understand about our own planet and of the celestial satellites high above? Do the pyramids of Giza hold such a sound-healing secret knowledge? Do solar flares affect the mindset and emotional balance of human beings?

Before anything else, this article is written with the purpose of sharing the research done of the topics at hand, and to voice out the questions, theories and hypothesis that are boggling, not just our minds, but the many as well. What we aim here is to open the door for you in further understanding what is still regarded as mysterious connections of our Earth and other cosmic frequencies to us, individually.

Let us start by understanding a little bit more about the natural frequencies around our own little blue terrestrial sphere, The Earth.

Earth constantly emits different frequency and electrical waves. Through magnetic field sensors, we are able to pick up these ultra-low electromagnetic frequency ranges that are then interpreted into a more audible sound for our human ears to perceive. The Earth is surrounded by multiple frequency waves that, in turn, creates our own Earth Song.

A NASA spacecraft had beamed back a beautiful song sung by our own planet. "It's called chorus," explains Craig Kletzing of the University of Iowa. "This is one of the clearest examples we've ever heard."
Chorus is an electromagnetic phenomenon caused by plasma waves in Earth's radiation belts and is made of radio waves that oscillate at acoustic frequencies, between 0 and 10 kHz.

The Earth Resonance is also known as Schumann Resonances, named after the German physicist Winfried Schumann who first discovered them in 1952. The lowest-frequency mode of the Schumann resonance is at a frequency of approximately 7.83, 14, 20, 26, 33, 39 and 45 Hz. Schumann resonances also have gone beyond the boundaries of physics, into medicine, where it has raised interest in the interactions between planetary rhythms and human health and behavior. Imagine the possibilities if mankind further understood these correlations. Imagine what we can advance to in the medical and psychological arena.

In one of our original music tracks, we've embedded the Schumann Resonance of 7.83Hz to the binaural beats. The aim was to provide a soothing sound and to give the effects of relaxation as well as a background accompaniment for meditating.



"Although the existence of the Schumann resonances is an established scientific fact, their presence and how these important planetary electromagnetic standing waves act as a background frequency that can influence biological oscillators such as the heart and brain are not generally well known. When Schumann first published his research the similarity of the 7.8-hertz earth resonance and the rhythms of human brainwaves was quickly realized. Herbert König, who became Schumann’s successor at Munich University, later demonstrated a correlation between Schumann resonances and brain rhythms. Numerous studies conducted by the Halberg Chronobiology Center at the University of Minnesota and other scientific studies have since shown that there are important links between solar, Schumann and geomagnetic rhythms and a wide range of human and animal health and wellness indicators. Even historical events like war, social unrest, military events and acts of terrorism can be correlated with the solar cycles."

In relation to this, the other planets in our solar system also have their own distinct sounds that were picked up and recorded by NASA's Voyager. In 1989, Dr. Jeffrey D. Thompson, D.C., B.F.A. was approached by representatives working with NASA and JPL to explore a series of powerful recordings which the Voyager I & II Spacecraft had sent back from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These recordings seemed to be having a profound effect on the scientists and researchers who were exposed to them. Dr. Thompson was approached as an expert in the field of sound and healing, and especially in his work with "Primordial Sounds.”  Primordial sounds are human body sounds and nature sounds formatted in special ways to cause a deep response in the subconscious mind.  These are extremely useful in all levels of healing. Could the space sounds actually be Primordial Sounds, also – from outer space but strangely familiar to us?

The "Symphonies Of The Planets 1: NASA Voyager Recordings Soundtrack" album was then released Oct 23, 1992, giving us a sensational auditory experience of what space sounds like. According to other research websites that relate to astrology, our neighbors in the solar system have their own distinct orbit frequency that can be related to various human behavioral effects.

The Sun radiates its own frequency that resonates with our own vibration. The sun represents life, personality, and goals. We have our own sun within our body, the solar plexus chakra. With a subconscious understanding of our connections with the Sun, this meditation music with binaural beats of 0.1-3Hz and 126.22Hz brings forward high-levels of inspiration and spiritual insights. For intentions such as relaxation, pain relief, meditation and OBEs (Out of Body Experiences), the Delta frequencies heard on this video will help you to sleep better and also increase your body's immunity functions.

The Synodic Moon:
   Tone     210.42 Hz = G# (a1 = 445.9 Hz / 440 Hz + 22.9 cent)
Color     orange
Chakra  Svadisthana - navel chakra
Effect     stimulates sexual energy, supports erotic communication, (medicinal: for woman it is good for regulation of menstruation, in general disturbances of gland and lymph system)

As we continue to delve upon the frequencies emitted from cosmic elements, another very interesting account is the behavioral effect of solar flares. 

Interesting... as I write this article, I just found out this bit of news:

Solar Activity Report from Spaceweather.com for August 27, 2014:

MINOR STORM WARNING: NOAA forecasters estimate a 15%-20% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Aug. 26-27 in response to an incoming CME. Launched on Aug 22nd, the storm cloud is a relatively slow-moving one, so strong storms are not likely. Even so, Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

How timely.

Could the sudden loss of internet connection and awry cellphone calls that can't push through this afternoon be caused by the solar flare that's coming in today? Hmmm... maybe, or maybe not since it is reported that the incoming solar storm is not too powerful. But then again, the satellites are out there in space, getting the hits first.

Anyway, a solar flare is a magnetic storm from the Sun, often times erupting and ejecting from the gaseous surface and releasing massive volumes of energy particles. In numerous research readings, there appears to be a connection with solar flares and human behavior, most especially if the CME is labeled as an "X-class".

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wind storms appear to occur after intense solar activity on the sun. In Heather Carlini C.M.Ht's website, she writes an updated account about about how "Geomagnetic Activity on the Sun Influences our Thoughts".
An excerpt from her post:
"Solar activity is known to affect human consciousness. Solar flares affect the Central Nervous System (stomach lining), all brain activity (including equilibrium), along with human behaviour and all psycho-physiological (mental-emotional-physical) response.  Solar flares can cause us to be nervous, anxiousness, worrisome, jittery, dizzy, shaky, irritable, lethargic, exhausted, have short term memory problems and heart palpitations, nauseous, queasy, and to have prolonged head pressure and headaches. Do you have any of the above lately? Scientists don't seem to be addressing this, but we all know it is  genuine as we are experiencing it first hand."

Have you begun to notice these, too? If we are indeed directly affected, which I personally believe we are, then this only shows how much more we need to understand about everything around us. Everything has its own vibration, its own frequency; its own energy. The capabilities of animals compared to the limits of us humans can already show us proof that there is a part of our system that has a weak recognition to the unseen forces around us, and we are all oblivious to them, leaving us to believe we are senseless in being connected to all that is around us.

Maybe if we become more aware about these things we might be able to assess what goes on in our daily life, perhaps even understand ourselves even better. We hope you enjoyed our examples of the music we have created based on the Earth and Sun frequencies, which you can listen to on a daily basis to balance your overall well-being. There is so much more that we do not understand, but we must not fear the unknown.

To read more about Earth and Cosmic Frequencies and their Effects on us, here are a few website articles we came across during our research:

Meditation for Beginners

When some people hear the word "meditation", they would often feel intimidated or discouraged, most of the time telling themselves that they don't have time for it. Others would judge it solely as a religious act while there are those who claim it is a complete waste of their time.


These are all the negative reactions of those who are oblivious to the beneficial effects that meditation can give to an individual, and to a collective.

First of all, if you really want to do or get something, you go out of your way and make time for it. People make time to go to the malls for some materialistic and social R&R, or they make time to spend countless hours brooding over their gadgets visiting social networks. So why can't they make time for even a short-session meditation?


The answer is simple. It's because they simply don't want to. Why? Because they don't know what to do or what it's for.


Nowadays, yoga is becoming a fad. Organic food is becoming popular. And slowly, spiritual centers are sprouting more all over the world. There is a growing community of individuals who are learning about the metaphysical aspects that are needed in life, and in this article we will focus on the benefits and how-to's of Meditation.

Meditation has multiple forms of techniques practiced on a regular basis and it promotes relaxation and develops patience, forgiveness and compassion. The general awareness of meditation is to clear the mind; keep it empty; be silent. In all honesty, keeping a quiet mind is very hard to do. During my years of doing meditation, I have learned to just let the thoughts come and go. Avoid dwelling too much on each of them. But if a particular thought keeps on coming back and knocking on your subconscious door, let it in. Understand it. Analyze it. What are your emotions about it? And then let it go as soon as you can. There is a sense of freedom when you let go and just be. Meditation is all about being aware.




Here are some steps on how to meditate (for beginners):

  • Find a quiet spot
  • Sit in a comfortable position. Avoid slouching.
  • Close your eyes
  • Focus on your breathing patterns. If you notice your breathing is fast, slow it down. Counting usually helps.
    • 3 counts inhale
    • 5 counts exhale
  • Your mind will start to wander. Let the thoughts in and out and try to arrive at the point where you are simply staring at the dark void inside your mind. You won't even notice that your mind has quieted.
  • If parts of your body starts to itch or twitch, be aware of those areas and tell yourself that those sensations will go away eventually. This is just the natural reaction of your body against the sudden stillness it has found itself in.
  • And finally, just enjoy the "moment" of nothingness. Let your subconsciousness take over.

You can meditate for at least 5 minutes, and strive to do longer sessions during your daily practices. 


Some people find it easier to meditate with background music playing. We have made many original meditation music tracks on our YouTube Channel, and below is an example of our Simple Meditation Music.

The health benefits of meditation:


On a physical level:

  • Lowers high blood pressure
  • Lowers the levels of blood lactate, reducing anxiety attacks
  • Decreases any tension-related pain, such as, tension headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint problems
  • Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior
  • Improves the immune system
  • Increases the energy level, as you gain an inner source of energy
Mental Benefits:
Meditation brings the brainwave pattern into an Alpha state that promotes healing. 
  • Anxiety decreases
  • Emotional stability improves
  • Creativity increases
  • Happiness increases
  • Intuition develops
  • Gain clarity and peace of mind
  • Problems become smaller
  • Meditation sharpens the mind by gaining focus and expands through relaxation
  • A sharp mind without expansion causes tension, anger and frustration
  • An expanded consciousness without sharpness can lead to lack of action/progress
  • The balance of a sharp mind and an expanded consciousness brings perfection
Other Benefits:
  • Emotional steadiness and harmony 
  • Consciousness evolves
  • Personal Transformation
  • Cosmic consciousness and awareness that you are connected to everyone and everything, above and below.

We hope that this simple article will help you make meditation a part of your daily routine. For any questions, let us know in the comment section!



Other articles about Meditation:
Research validates the benefits to health from the American Heart Association
The National Institutes of Health has granted over $20 million to study the effects of the Transcendental Meditation program on the prevention and treatment of heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. In addition, hundreds of other studies have been conducted on the beneficial effects of the TM program for mind, health, behavior, and society at over 210 independent universities and research institutions in 33 countries, including Harvard, Yale, and UCLA Medical School.

Healing Frequencies: DNA Repair


In the years that we've done extensive research and learning more about binaural beat frequencies and its benefits, one of the most controversial subjects that people have been debating about pertains to the physical healing aspects of vibrational frequencies for the body. Such topics range from DNA Repair to Cell Regeneration and Bone Growth, and for this article, we will tackle on the DNA healing powers through frequencies.

Our body is a wondrous, amazing machine, knitted by these little guys, the DNA, who basically run everything 24/7. They are the real superheroes behind the big, mass of a machine we call the Body, working their way in making up the entirety of who we are, not just physically, but characteristically as well.

They determine who we are, how we think, react, perceive. Ignited within us are the building blocks that cultivate our entire existence. Science, until now, is still in the deep fathoms of learning more about the DNA and how we can, as human beings, harness the hidden powers hidden deep within.

Before we continue, and in lieu with today's synchronicity (if you believe it as much as we do) an article from one of our favorite websites popped up on our feed, which very much related to the topic in-mind that we have right now as we speak. You can go read their article and come back here for the discussion, yes? Play this video in the background as you do so. We promise you, it's going to make you feel real good.





Excerpt from this article:

CAN WE REPROGRAM OUR DNA AND HEAL OURSELVES WITH FREQUENCY, VIBRATION & ENERGY?

"While interesting and inspiring, at least to the imagination, ideas of singing DNA and re-structuring DNA with intentional frequency are certainly difficult to find in practical application and are as of yet lacking legitimate scientific validation. As with Chi, the mapped out essence of life to Chinese medicine, the difficulty in finding verifiable proof and use for these theories is something that has earned this line of thinking the title of new age and pseudo-science. 
Science does, however confirm that sound and light can and do directly influence the body’ healing processes."
Read more HERE.



So, are you back? Yes, good. 

There is such a series of frequencies called Solfeggio Frequencies, which are also known as a category of Healing Frequencies. Said to be ancient tones, they are composed of a 6-tone scale thought to have been used in sacred music, including the beautiful Gregorian Chants. Each Solfeggio tone is comprised of a frequency required to balance your energy and keep your body, mind and spirit in perfect harmony.

The main six Solfeggio frequencies are:

396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
741 Hz – Expression/Solutions
852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order

So what happens when you listen to these frequencies? Well, it's another series of beautiful physical, emotional and mental stimulations made to restore balance to your natural state of being. Science is still deep within the fathoms of further understanding the correlation of frequency and healing, but for those who understand the benefits of binaural beats and isochronic tones, you'll know that there is a mysterious effect we gain from the sounds that resonate well with us.

Science is still trying to fully understand the mystery behind the fascinating effects that sound and vibration can do to our overall being. It's a similar occurrence when you smell something that triggers a memory.

Here's another shared article about DNA Theta Healing which will show you an extensive explanation of what Theta brainwaves, when stimulated, can do for you, and how you can do your own self-healing sessions.

In another video below, we feature our original music made using the Solfeggio 528 DNA Repair Healing Frequency. Please note that this audio is a pure tone binaural beat, and should be listened to with headphones. The objective of this track is to bring beneficial effects such as an increased amount of life energy, clarity of mind, awareness, awakened or activated creativity, ecstatic states like deep inner peace, dance and celebration. The tone 'Mi' activates your imagination, intention and intuition to operate for your highest and best purpose.



Since we are working on our new Brainwave Smart Pillow, which of these two original music tracks do you think you'd like to have playing as you rest? Let us know in the comments section!
