Vibro-acoustic therapy

[J F]

Shelley, I just had to share as I know you would be interested in this.

Today, just under an hour ago, I had my very first sound therapy session (vibro-acoustic therapy). Now, the therapy itself is not the big deal to me so much as what I saw. You meditate through the treatment, and at the end of the 25 minute treatment, when I was in my deepest transe state, I felt myself pulling away from my body, then I found myself observing this happen. I was looking down onto my body on the sound therapy bed, and I could see my form rising from my body about 2 feet, all orange and yellow. It was still attached to my body through strands that reached down back to my physical self on the bed, like sand or liquid streaming. It was beautiful.

I know there are meanings to aural colors, so I came right home and looked up orange/yellow-orange/yellow, orange being the color furthest from my body, lightening to yellow as it got closer:

ORANGE AURA COLOR: Relates to reproductive organs and emotions. The color of vitality, vigor, good health and excitement. Lots of energy and stamina, creative, productive, adventurous, courageous, outgoing social nature; currently experiencing stress related to apetites and addictions;


Orange-Yellow: Creative, intelligent, detail oriented, perfectionist, scientific.


YELLOW AURA COLOR: Relates to the spleen and life energy. It is the color of awakening, inspiration, intelligence and action shared, creative, playful, optimistic, easy-going.

It was really profound, as I was just before speaking with the therapist about my marital woes and how I have reached a place where I feel like the real me is wreaking havoc on my body from within, desperate to come out. When I described to her who I feel the real me is, I had no idea that I would come home and look up auras and see that the color of my form I witnessed rising from my body on that bed would be the same adjectives I used to describe myself to her just moments before. Hell, I didn't even expect to get so deep in my meditation that I had an out of body experience where I witnessed my soul come up in colors like that. I'm just nearly speechless. Fortunately, my fingers are not.

It was beautiful and it gave me hope.

That is soooo coool! Thanks so much for sharing that! I just love things like that. Anything that expands our awareness.

At the whole life expo they always have at least one person taking those magnetic auro photographs. Now the photographs are fun but the colors are very transient - each time I took a photo the colors changed, so I think they were more mood colors than true core colors, know what I mean? So I'd MUCH much rather do what you did. One time after a seminar that involved wearing masks and getting in touch with past-life issues my aura photo turned very orange/yellow.

I've been wanting to go to Robert Monroe's clinic for out-of-body research. He uses sound too. He puts two different sound vibrations into each ear that are designed to help the brain into a Theta state of deep meditation, the one most conducive to OOB/astral travel. It costs about $1200 to stay at the clinic for a week and "meditate" every day. He also sells the sound discs for at-home use but for something like that I prefer trying it whole-hog and then bringing it home. I wonder how similar the therapy you did is to his?

So far this journey, like Vipasanna, hasn't manifested - the timing isn't right yet. I'm still in a holding pattern except for matters of physical health and working co-creatively. But maybe someday!

P.S. You know most people can spend $1200 for a week's vacation and come home stressed from it. I can easily see the logic in spending that $1200 to do his retreat, instead. You'd likely be loose and happy for weeks afterward, if not life changed. LOL

[shelley]

that's so true! In fact there's a vacation to the British Columbia area I want to take that costs about the same. They practically guarantee that you'll be kayaking next to pods of orcas!

Today, in vibro-accoustic therapy, I was led through a meditation program where I'd meet my inner guide. In the program, it talked about how you might meet a few individuals, some good, some bad, before you met your inner guide (or what some like to call your "inner voice" or "intuition"). Well, I met my guide right away, and my guide was ME. No seriously, it was me but a little taller, more evolved, didn't like to wear shoes, wore a red batik sundress, piloted a sailboat, with hair down to my/her waist, a slight tan, and the calmest kindest person I ever met. Now, I've always known of a guiding force within me, a voice that I understood to be my own, only wiser, but it was like knowing someone well all your life via email only. Then, you finally meet them. So, I asked the therapist if anyone ever met themselves when they looked inward, and she didn't recall it, offhand. Does it mean something in particular when an inner guide ends up being you?

Interestingly, this made me think of a story my Mom told me. That, when I was born, the doc put me in her arms, and I just looked up at her calmly. She said right then she knew she'd never have to worry about me, that I had it all under control, so to speak. I wonder if she thought that later when I puked my Gerbers and cried incessantly until my diaper was changed. But, I wonder now if who my Mom saw in me then, who she met was the inner me before too much of the outer me had been ingrained into my psyche. I wonder if she saw then the person that I came face to face with today.

Is this the part where someone sends the guys with the long armed white coat after me?

[shelley]

that makes total sense to me. Who else can better help us than ourselves? And there is always a part of ourselves, which in co-creative science and other philosophies is called our "higher self," which has the big picture and is outside of time.

Robert Monroe was helped by one of his selves (or soul rays). His first OOB experience was prompted by his "future" higher self pulling his current earth self out of his body and just leaving it there. He woke up floating above his body LOL!
