It is an ancient thought that rhythmic sound is at the root of all creation, that the world is structured by sound, and that life is rhythm. In India the influence of rhythm and tuning on consciousness has been explored for thousands of years and is considered a form of yoga — Nada Yoga. The primary concept of nada yoga is that ultimate reality emanates from a primordial first sound, the pulse, which echoes the 20th century scientists’ concept of the Big Bang that creates the universe. The frequencies of this root vibration create our physical world. As human beings, we are also emanations of this vibration and subject to the laws of sound. This archetypal pulse of consciousness vibrates within us as the sound of our own heart beating. Every human being on the planet took form to the primal pulse and this sound has the power to draw us back to our earliest stirrings of awareness. This is why drumming has been at the core of shamanistic, religious, and transformative rites since Paleolithic times. The power of rhythmic sound returns us to the pre-socialized, unconditioned, and balanced state of awareness we experienced in the womb. sacredpathofthebee.tumblr/post/9204959799/ancientmediterraneanrites via Carrie Campbell
