Energy and Tone

There are many ways energy can express itself. You can have energy from heat, movement, or stored as potential. Energy is one of the universal ways that we can explain the properties of our physical world. Here I would like to explain how energy effects us everyday in our bodies and in our environment.

Let us first look at some of the smallest particles in the world, atoms. Everything is made up of a combination of about 118 unique atoms known as the elements. In these atoms we have three distinct particles, protons, neutrons, and electrons.  The protons and neutrons stay in the center body and the electrons move at close to the speed of light around the center. With these little electrons zooming around a center body and with the center body being attracted to the speeding electrons, you could see that the protons (and neutrons) get pulled around. This happens so fast that it looks like a blur and simply appears to vibrate. I like to think of it as someone getting a new tire but they forget to put weights on it to balance it. So you drive along and the faster that wheel turns the more vibration gets created by the unbalanced wheel until you are pretty sure every bolt in the car is going to shake loose. This type of vibration happens in every atom and since different atoms or elements weigh different amounts they all have unique frequencies that they vibrate. Frequency is just a measurement of how many times something completes a cycle every second. Also since every atom vibrates and everything in the universe is made up of atoms, then we can rightfully take the next step in deductive reasoning to say everything bigger than atoms vibrates, even our bodies. Just like the different elements, each of the pieces of our bodies have their own unique frequency that they vibrate. Here is a one of my favorite YouTube videos on the subject : Symphony of Science - the Quantum World

OK, so we have established that we all vibrate, now I want to talk about talk about energy states. Looking back at our atom example, electrons like to be as close to the protons as possible without touching, but if we introduce more energy into the atom the electrons will get excited and jump to a higher energy state. All that electron wants to do is lower its energy and get closer to those protons. It can only accomplish this is by releasing the energy that excited it. Our bodies work in the same way. We store adverse external energy from our environment, like when we get all worked up after that person cut us off on the highway. Also like the electrons all we want to do is relax and release that energy so that we can get back down to the lowest energy state.

Now lets talk about how energy works through waves (tone). I was at a short seminar recently and the speaker (Dr Holder, the founder of the chiropractic Torque Release Technique) made a rather bold statement: "everything in three dimensional space communicates through tone." I agree with that statement. In order for energy to travel through any material it must do so as a wave. We talked about how everything vibrates and we can measure its frequency. Well if you take something vibrating and throw it all you will see is that object moving up and down as it moves forward like a wave.

 In this figure you can get an idea of the type of wave I am talking about. Tone is basically a wave with a known frequency. Our nervous system communicates through different tones. When we are at a high energy state, based on the stresses we have been put under, our tone gets higher or the wave that we produce looks like the high frequency wave at the bottom of the picture. Ideally we want to be in a low frequency state. Our body is more efficient and our nervous system communicates better when it is not so "noisy" at the lower frequency or energy state.

Using waves to help lower our energy states. In a body of water you can throw a pebble and make little high energy ripples (or waves). Now what would happen to those little high energy waves if they get hit by the larger wave, lets say a wave caused by the wake of a large boat? The little waves get overcome and assimilated into (or entrained by) the larger lower energy wave. this brings the water into a lower energy state. In Network Chiropractic we can use lower energy respiratory and somatopsychic waves to entrain or assimilate the higher energy waves in the body so that the whole system can have greater ease and your body can work more efficiently. 

I have introduced and hopefully explained quite a few principles in this post. The purpose was to get a broad overview down so that later I can elaborate on each of these great principles later. I hope that I did not go to far over your heads.
