Interview:
Music has certainly stood the test of time in every culture on Earth as a vehicle for spiritual transformation. Now we have very sophisticated monitoring systems that can show us precisely how these ancient techniques for self-transformational work on the brain, body, and nervous system. Shaman drumming techniques use a drumming speed that centers in the low Theta brainwave range (4.5 Hz or so), and bring consciousness to a dream state without going to sleep first. This process is now known as the “Brainwave Entrainment” response. The combination of various tones played together in harmonic mathematical ratios form chords that can be pleasing to the ear. This is because the mathematical ratios that make a pleasing chord follow the same rules we see in how nature is designed. The proportionate ratios of quantum fields, the structure of atoms, how they are arranged in the periodic table, the proportions of our bodies, the designs found in nature, and the organization of galactic nebulae all follow the same rules of harmonics that we see in a pleasing musical composition. This has the possibility of awakening a “Primal Memory” at an unconscious level of the connectedness of ourselves with the universe as a whole.
