“Vibrations turn to atoms and atoms generate what we call life; thus it happens that their grouping, by the power of nature’s affinity, forms a living entity.”
Hazrat Inayat Khan
Recently during a session a rhythmic pattern arouse in my perception that felt to me like a slow, very long rumble within the client. At the same time I felt like nerves from my hands were magically connected to my visual cortex. I was feeling with my hands but concurrently seeing what my hands were feeling. Images appeared as though I were watching a luminous slow-motion 3D film of someone tumbling in gelatinous crystal clear liquid. I watched close-up scenes as the client’s body slowly floated in my vision, each pore, each cell, each miniscule part of her sinking and then rising again as if an invisible wave was moving the viscous fluid which in turn moved her. What was this rhythmic wave? Then I recalled coming across an interesting reference months earlier about sound and thought there may be a relationship to our session.
We live amidst a sound emerging from a group of galaxies 250 million light years from Earth called the Perseus Cluster. “The sound waves coming from it are in the form of a single note…” which is B-flat, and the frequency of these sound waves is 10 million years.
If I’m not mistaken this means that if we were to draw this B-flat frequency in time with its sound waves then the amount of time it would take to draw one sound wave going from the wave’s valley, to its peak, and then to the next valley, would be 10 million years! By contrast if we were to draw a wave of the craniosacral rhythm, while staying in time with its rhythmic wave, it would take about 9 seconds.
We can sense and work with many biorhythms in CranioSacral Therapy. Some of these rhythms are generated through inner biological processes, such as cerebrospinal fluid seeping, blood oxygenating, lymph cleansing, even elements moving through a cell’s wall will create some form of frequency.
We can also feel and utilize rhythms that arise outside of ourselves since we exist in an environment awash with vibrations. Some of these outer rhythms merge into our body to become an integral part of us. For example, waves swooshing upon the shoreline, water trickling from icicles, rainwater flowing from roof to gutter to cistern, and fire crackling can all have an internal effect.
One of the astronomers who discovered the Perseus Cluster sound said it “…may be the key in figuring out how galaxy clusters, the largest structures in the Universe, grow.” Well then, could this sound be affecting our clients, the world, us? Is it in some way organizing or at least affecting our growth and can we use this rhythm to help our clients and ourselves? I wonder. So I’m inviting this sound wave from the stars to arise more fully in my awareness. Intuitively it seems there is much to learn from Perseus’s drone as well as other cosmic rhythms from our Milky Way galaxy and parts of the universe.
If you have time perhaps sit for a moment to experience Perseus humming, its low drone singing, dancing and chanting to us from 250 million light years away.
