Sound healing is NOT new age spirituality. It originates from Greece, Africa, Tibet, China, India, Latin America and Europe. So many cultures understand that importance of sound and its affect on our mind, body and soul. In ancient cathedrals the structure of the buildings depicted several cymatic patterns inside and out of the building. Cymatic patterns are the structures of sound. For example, you have a cup of water, you tap the table it's on then the water "ripples"- to the human eye. Looking closer at the structure of the water molecules; they create a pattern that isn't as noticeable to the human eye. The vibration that formed in the water is a cymatic pattern. Think of snowflakes, so pretty and defined. Perfect symmetry yet none of the snowflakes are the same and each came from a form of mass.

Sound healing is as much medicine as it is science. Once we understand that, then we can unravel the common misconceptions that have formed over the years. In the medieval times women dancing in the forest, being in tune with nature was considered witchcraft. Anyone- mostly women doing something that was different than the crowd was considered a witch. More specifically, women accused of witchcraft were poor, elderly, widowed, or single, and their only source of power was their supposed ability to perform witchcraft. This made them seem more likely to have given in to the Devil's temptations for wealth and power. Also, the Catholic church believed that women were more vulnerable to the Devil's temptations than men because they were less educated and had more "passions".

Really? Like this is what y'all call witches? Moving forward 1487–1669, the book Malleus Maleficarum was published nearly 30 times throughout Europe, helping to transform the public perception of witchcraft from harmless to demonic. The book characterized witches as evil women, an image that has survived to the present day. Wow, the power European men have had over women that has shaped our society, right? Well let's keep exploring through the Salem witch trials.. The Salem witch trials are considered one of colonial America's most notorious cases of mass hysteria. The haphazard way the trials were conducted led to changes in U.S. court procedures, including the presumption of innocence and the right to legal representation.

We could really go down the rabbit hole about how past history, assumptions, misinterpretations and mistreatment made its way right into our government which DIRECTLY affects our churches. Majority of them are government funded, right? RIGHT. So, onward we go to speak about the split of churches? Christianity has many denominations because of different interpretations of sacred texts, doctrinal positions, and personal preferences. All of which has a role in what is perceived as demonic. Cathedrals were erected to be healing centers. The cymatic patterns on the buildings, stone windows and large gathering spaces were for people to come praise and worship with the frequencies transmuting back healing frequencies. People didn't sit down and only listen to someone preach. They prayed and meditated together which sometimes meant laying down, sitting or bowing.

You see, perception is a real problem. Perception has the ability for us to see one thing at one angle and other things at another angle. I always encourage people to get in connection with God himself. Stop putting all of your faith and works into other entities when you don't know what dwells within them. Find your own connection with God and act upon his glory. Holism Haus does not to delve into spirituality to the point of conversion, or condemnation. Simply allowing one to be immersed in sound frequencies that are good for you. Helping you change the cellular structure of your tissues to produce harmony within oneself.

Cell towers, microwaves, TV, bluetooth many waves (frequencies) we aren't even aware of the effects it has on our bodies, especially with extreme exposure. Brain waves are small electrical currents that reflect brain activity and are categorized by their frequency and amplitude. The most common brain waves are named using Greek numerals based on their frequency range in Hertz (Hz):

• Delta

 0.5–4 Hz, these waves are associated with deep sleep, where you're not dreaming. They can help improve your immune system and reduce stress levels.

• Theta

4–7 Hz, these waves are associated with deep relaxation and creativity. They often occur during REM sleep, when you dream, and are most common in children.
