6 Healing Sounds + Inner Smiles
Thousands of years ago Taoist masters discovered that a healthy organ vibrates at a particular frequency. Their meditations revealed five sounds corresponding to the five elements. The Taoist teacher Mantak Chia added a 6th sound as the Fire element is associated with 2 sounds related to the Heart and Triple Warmer/Burner. The correct frequencies keep organs in optimal condition to prevent and alleviate illnesses. Over time, five postures were developed to accompany the sounds to activate the acupuncture meridians, or energy channels, of the organs. Each sound is said to clear stagnant or negative energy in a particular organ and encourage a more balanced energy flow to help that organ system thrive.
Organs malfunction for many reasons. Life in urban society is full of physical and emotional stresses such as overcrowding, pollution, radiation, junk foods, chemical additives, anxiety, loneliness, bad posture, and sudden or overly vigorous exercise. All kinds of waves stimulate our bodies and organs to hyperactivity. In addition, the "concrete jungle" that we live in lacks the safety provided by nature: trees, open spaces, and running water, which give forth a cooling, purifying energy.
We are all born with the virtues of love, gentleness, kindness, respect, honesty, fairness, justice, and righteousness.
The circulation of our life force energy becomes obstructed and unable to flow efficiently or easily. When negative energy cannot be expelled from the body, it is circulated and trapped in the organs. There is an ancient Taoist saying: Stress cooks your brain. The 6 healing sounds release trapped emotions so that they don't carry negative weight and impact health.
Taoists believe that we are all born with the virtues of love, gentleness, kindness, respect, honesty, fairness, justice, and righteousness. Unfortunately, as we mature and encounter more stress in our daily lives, negative emotions such as fear, anger, cruelty, impatience, worry, sadness, and grief often predominate. The negative emotions have harmful effects on the internal organs and glands, draining our life force and undermining our health. Through the 6 Healing Sounds and Inner Smiles practice, we can reverse the negative effects on our body’s health and help bring ourselves back into balance.
