A sound-bath for the Soul - connecting our energy to the resonance of all Nature. SoundBeing combines 31 harmonics found in Earth’s electromagnetic field - corresponding to many sacred numbers and coincidences - like the frequency of the sun, the solfeggio, A:432 Hz, the Schumann resonance, the frequency of quartz, the frequency of water - all part of a harmonic field which converges on Earth’s spin. This is ancient knowledge, rediscovered. Instant inner peace comes because each frequency is precisely in-tune with Earth’s field of energy. Each vibration is a resonance in Earth's electro-magnetic spin - part of a newly re-discovered ancient knowledge of the harmonic-series of Creation. The sounds, forms and colours in SoundBeing take us into deep awareness. We become antennaes in Nature’s divine symphony - moving beyond time and space by riding its time-waves. Over 600 combinations of Earth’s harmonics create brainwave entrainment: deep meditation in Delta, contemplation in Theta, mindfulness in Alpha and attention in Beta - re-tuning our mind and nervous system to Nature's resonant field. Including cymatic images made for SoundBeing by John Stuart Reid using the CymaScope instrument he developed - revealing forms and structures even he was stunned to see:  Visual mandalas which mirror the forms created by SoundBeing in the waters of our bodies. People say their "mental chatter" is instantly stilled. A client diagnosed with autism said it’s the first time they’ve experienced true mental peace. One client reported an energetic “scar” she had received from a cancer over 30 years prior instantly disappeared.  Another client reported seeing beyond Life into Death – and knowing it would all be OK.  Others have experienced release from deep trauma and sadness.  People say it feels like "being held like a baby", like reconnecting to familiar energies we've always known, but couldn't name. Ways to experience Nature’s harmony: 1. EARTH: Spin the Earth to discover the harmonics of spin. Choose from North Pole or South Pole view 2. TAP TEMPO: Tap a rhythm and SoundBeing responds with natural Binaural “pulses” matching your beat 3. PANTHEON: Deep-dive flyover into cymatic images while their frequency plays – a visual experience of what the sounds are doing to our cellular waters 4. PERSONALIZE: Save your FAVOURITES. Name each QUALITY and choose the COLOUR for each frequency - to change the way you experience SoundBeing 5. SYNESTHESIA: seeing in sound, or hearing in colours – personalized light selections pulse with each Natural harmonic 6. SPECTRUM: Mix-and-match harmonics in any combination.  CONVERGE any two harmonics to create a set of binaural beats; or SPLIT a binaural into all the harmonics it’s made from 7. CYCLER: Let SoundBeing automatically take you up and down through the Brainwave bands (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta), or through families of beats and harmonies 8. LISTEN: Sing, and SoundBeing sings back Earth’s harmonics in rising and falling crescendoes of pure energy 9. JOURNEY: Create personal Journeys from your Favourites – multiple stages where you choose the sounds, the Natural Ambience, the duration, the visual effects  - including intervals for integration and peace 10. VIBRATION: Pair SoundBeing with a large stereo or a device like the Woojer MAT and lie directly on the Chords of Creation - for powerful vibration deep into tissues and mind. And/or simply use headphones 11. AMBIENCE – natural sounds which blend with Nature's harmonics: Whales, waves, birds, bees, a black-hole, the sun, more. 12. BREATH Long breath sounds including the 0.1 Hz frequency of Heart Mind Coherence, and the ancient Helek breath of 3.3333 seconds. 13. SHARE THE LOVE: Quantum Entanglement lets friends experience “spooky energy at a distance”. The same frequency or Journey - to practice intention, meditation, even telepathy 14. DISCO: SoundBeing will respond with your colours to whatever music is playing. Re-tune to Nature’s radio
