Living cells in the human body create sound as a natural aspect of their metabolic and life process. Each cell has a unique ‘song’ that changes in response to our thoughts and emotions. Our cells literally sing. ‘Singing cells’ have long been part of non-Western belief systems* and have recently been explored by modern Western scientists.
It has long been known that cells communicate with each other in nature: “Every living organism makes noise, but most of us aren’t sensitive to it,” says Bernie Krause, author of Wild Soundscapes: Discovering the Voice of the Natural World.
Every cell is in contact and continuous communication with every other cell and holds the unique imprint of YOU. The cells communicate without ceasing about the tasks they perform in order to establish harmony and balance in your body.
Every individual cell holds a unique vibrational tone which is light (intensity, color) and vibration (resonance, sound). This communication creates a chatter, a cacophony or a symphony depending on how we treat our bodies. Moreover, these cells are not just communicating with each other, they are communicating with and responding to you every second.
Our cells let us know when something is out of balance:
“… diseases in organisms are often the results of disturbed or damaged communication between cells.” — Joseph Seckbach in Biocommunication: Sign-mediated Interactions Between Cells and Organisms.
The cells of humans (and animals) may not be the only forms of life that emit sound or ‘sing.’ Plant life communication has been the focus of intensive research over the last 20 years.
“Sound is overwhelming, it’s everywhere. Surely life would have used it to its advantage in all forms,” says Monica Gagliano, plant physiologist and acoustics researcher at the University of Western Australia in Crawley.
Further she says, “We have identified that plants respond to sound, and they make their own sounds. The obvious purpose of sound might be for communicating with others.”
Vibration creates sound. Without vibration there is no sound.
The field of plant bioacoustics tells us that plants vibrate at various frequencies and thus emit sound: Plants emit audio acoustic emissions between 10–240 Hz as well as ultrasonic acoustic emissions (UAE) within 20–300 kHz.
Our five-element quantum energetic skincare lines are known to vibrate at remarkably high frequency; therefore, it might be said that the molecules of flower and plant essential oils comprised of cells that vibrate, and ‘sing’ are what ‘speak’ to the skin and body. This form of plant cell to human cell communication creates the quantum healing effect provided the host accepts and allows it.
“All coordination between cells, organs, and organisms depends on successful biocommunicative processes. There are abundant cases of communication in the biological world, both within (intraspecific) and between (interspecific) single-cell and multicellular microorganisms and higher animal forms.” —Joseph Seckbach
Camilo Sanchez in Daoist Meridian Yoga: Activating the Twelve Pathways for Energy Balance and Healing tells us that information, which comes in a variety of forms, namely, light, electromagnetic radiation, and subtle energy, travel through the network of chi channels and they control the communication of biochemical messages between cells. These same channels of chi work like “magnetic vectors” that give direction to the flow of vital energy.
In fact, the entire premise of PHYTO5 skincare that we utilize at Bodiscience Wellness Center, is to balance vital energy, a precondition to overall wellness. This balanced flow of vital energy benefits the skin, in particular.
The study of cell sounds or ‘singing cells’ has been dubbed “sonocytology” by its founder, Jim Gimzewski, a UCLA chemist. He conducted the first sonocytology experiment** with yeast cells.
The researchers found that the frequency of the yeast cells remained roughly in the same high range, “about a C-sharp to D above middle C in terms of music,” says Andrew Pelling of the UCLA Chemistry Department. They found that sprinkling alcohol on a yeast cell with the intent to kill it raises the pitch. Conversely, they found dead cells to give off a low, rumbling sound.
“Cells can be observed, and their sounds recorded but they can also be manipulated, which results in a change of sound. A ‘singing cell’ can be turned into a ‘screaming cell’ by altering its living environment.” —Anne Niemetz in her thesis, Singing cells, art, science, and the noise in between
That living environment looks one way in the laboratory but in the natural laboratory called the human being, the manipulations of the cells equate to our thoughts and emotions, and still further, even to the nutrition we give our bodies and all the externals to which we subject them.
But our body’s cells can be energized and purified by the very thing they emit sound.
Githa Ben-David, author of The Note from Heaven: How to Sing Yourself into a Higher State of Consciousness presents a method for liberating the natural voice using what she calls ‘regressive cell singing.’ She says this method is one of the most direct ways to get in contact with the subconscious mind. She utilizes what she calls the ‘note from heaven’ to establish this contact.
Ben-David describes the ‘note from heaven’ as the tonal expression of the divine state—the quantum field. This field is inherent in all of us, and we have the ability to contact it.
In the regressive cell singing method, the ‘note from heaven’ one sings acts like a tuning fork retuning cells to their former harmony. The cells not only sing, but they also dance, according to Ben-David and this causes a reorganization of cells and brings the body back to its original balanced matrix.
“We are all born in tune, with a beautiful composition in our cell.” —Githa Ben-David
We are constantly imprinting either our cohesive or chaotic thoughts and emotions upon our cellular structure.
The topic of ‘singing cells’ and how they relate to our mental, physical and emotional well-being should give us pause. It is not just an interesting topic; it is a vital one.
Without managing our thoughts and emotions with awareness, we might negatively feed our cells in such a way that they respond to us darkly, emitting a base, droning tone without quantum spiral or cohesive ecstatic aliveness.
We should want to give our cells a positive frequency or radiation of light causing our cells to create a beautiful sounding symphony and incessant lovely chatter.
