The Ways of BachBy Gary Scott * Natural Health Tip – The Ways of Bach * Ecuador Real Estate – Low Down on Low Tax * International Investments – Beat the Lies Music is many things, a social force of coherence or destruction, relaxation, sadness, joy, mind altering…even great healing. Music can make you smarter and healthier. Let me explain how. Music is frequency. Our thought process is frequency. Change your brain frequencies and you change the way you think, absorb information, retain it and recall. This is what Super Learning is all about! Learn how to use music to learn (and to retain) at our August 31-September 4, or October 12-16, 2006 Super Thinking + Spanish courses. You find new ways to absorb, retain and recall information much more effectively. You improve your health and add Spanish fluency as bonuses! See details at www.garyscott.com/catalog Music, however, goes way beyond this. Music has split mankind into two cultures. The Western European Musicians and the Traditionalists. Those under the influence of Western European Music have grown greatly since about the 9th century (when composers began to put their names to their scores). Since that time, Western European composers have wanted their music to be theirs, about them and about their times. This allowed their songs, concerts and symphonies to be at the forefront of ever faster evolution. Such music foments change. From Beethoven to the Beetles, these people created music that led the population to think, feel and question "Who am I, what am I doing, what is right and wrong?" This music destroyed cultures and started new ones. The other (Traditional) musical culture, used by Islam, Hinduism, Catholicism and many ancient cultures and religions is quite different, rarely given to one composer, and used for the exact opposite purpose. These melodies and rhythms are to bind the cultures and inhibit change. Such union through song is a great salve when we don’t know where we are. The music is a melody of belonging. “Our flesh is mortal” these songs say, but we connect with these rhythms and into the mists of the past. We come and go, but our songs remain. They unite our future and past in an endless tune. Take the ancient Andean songs and rituals. They have a soul grabbing beat. Hearts meld with the group in a sweet embrace of our deepest roots. There is comfort to belong like that, but in terms of the universal laws, their purpose is wrong…this music resists change and adaptation, whereas music that has been done in the West is more in tune. Hopefully music will be one way we can slow down the human progress to a speed we can handle! Some of the great masters of music understood this and wrote special music, such as the harmonies of Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach and other Baroque masters. Listening to some of their largo music actually lowers blood pressure, slows the heart beat and increases alpha waves which we know enhance intelligence and improve health. The name, Bach, in terms of health, goes beyond Bach, the composer of harmony and music. There are also Bach Flower remedies. Between1930 and 1936 Edward Bach, a successful London Physician, perfected a simple yet effective system of medicine. Bach Flower Remedies are based on the concept that the basis of disease is found in the disharmony between spiritual and mental aspects of the human being. His idea was to treat the mood of the patient and not the disease displayed. Merri and I keep “The Bach Remedies Repertory” on our shelves and Bach Flower Remedies with us at all times so we were delighted to learn that one of our Danish friends in Copenhagen, Jeanette Henningsen, is a registered Bach practitioner. We have asked her to share more about Bach’s healing flowers.
Jeanette Henningsen “My experience with Bach’s Flower Remedies began when I found that there was a natural medication that cured thoughts and out of balance feelings. I found it hard to believe. “Yet I was interested in how thoughts and feelings influenced and affected the physical well-being. I had read a lot of literature that supported the idea that illness is the final physical manifestation of negative thoughts and feelings. “My own experiences had shown that I could influence a symptom. By watching when pains started and stopped, I noticed connections with what I was thinking and feeling. “Before learning about Bach I thought that the only ‘medication’ against negativity was changed thoughts, words and action, positive living and positive confirmations. What made the biggest impression about Bach Remedies were the extensive descriptions of the 38 flowers each with its own concept of the soul. “I tried these remedies on myself and had such good results that I decided to become a Registered Bach Practioner. Since learning the indications of all Bach 38 remedies and becoming registered, I use them almost every day – they are a part of my life. I use them in accordance with daily challenges as well as during shorter and longer periods of my life. Now I also I make mixed bottles of Flower Remedies for clients, family and friends. “Treatment begins with conversation/correspondence in places and times of peace and quiet to clarify which thoughts and feelings that are creating unhappiness, trouble or unrest. Bach remedies do not overwhelm but quietly and gently create awareness of a negative condition and then create a positive loving attitude that corrects this imbalance. “The Flower Remedies consist of 38 Remedies. Each Flower consists of a concept of the soul from the negative aspect to the positive. Some examples of Flower’s concept of soul:
Basically each concept of flower souls consists of numerous facets from one extreme of negativity to the other extreme of positivity. The possibilities as infinite.” Jeanette offers a Bach analysis program that includes an email or telephone interview and creation of a personalized Bach formula. These simple, all natural Bach Flower Remedies can provide relief and balance. For details write to Jeanette at jet104@paradis.dk Ecuador Real Estate – Low Down on Low Tax.
