Pythagoras: The Greek Philosopher Who Discovered the Harmony
in Numbers and Sound.

Introduction:

Join me this month, as I explore a few of The Great Men of Frequencies.
This week we start with Pythagoras: The Greek Philosopher Who Discovered the Harmony in Numbers and Sound. In this article, we will explore the role of frequencies in sound and music, and How Pythagoras is connected to the healing powers of sound and music. This article also includes a small part of the history of Sound Frequency Healing, How modern science is using sound and music, and we will delve into the techniques and benefits of music therapy and sound healing.

Have you ever been deeply moved by a song or a melody? Perhaps it gave you goosebumps or even brought tears to your eyes. You are not alone. People have been aware of the effects of sound on the body for hundreds of years.

Pythagoras: The Healing Power of Sound and Music
Pythagoras, a Greek physician, philosopher, mathematician, and religious teacher from the 5th century about 570 BCE – 495 BCE, was one of the most influential thinkers in ancient history. He taught many beliefs, including that numbers were a guide to the interpretation of the universe. Pythagoras believed that mathematics could explain everything, including music. He wrote, "Each celestial body, in fact each and every atom, produces a particular sound on account of its movement, its rhythm, or vibration. All these sounds and vibrations form a universal harmony in which each element, while having its own function and character, contributes to the whole." Pythagoras was convinced that frequencies had a healing effect on the body. Pythagoras taught that sound and music had healing powers that could positively influence the mind, body, and soul. Through music, Pythagoras performed what he called "soul-adjustments." Today, we would call it music therapy, sound therapy, or sound healing.
In mathematics, the Pythagorean Theorem or Pythagoras' theorem is a fundamental relation in geometry between the three sides of a right triangle.
It was also Pythagoras, who first believed the world to be round and Aristotle validated this a couple centuries later.
Pythagoras was also responsible for discovering the harmonic relationships between mathematical ratios and different musical chords. We tune our modern-day instruments using the mathematics that Pythagoras discovered almost 2,500 years ago. Because of Pythagoras many beliefs, he is known in History as the father of Music, Astrology, and Math.

The Role of Frequencies in Sound and Music
Have you ever wondered what gives music its distinct characteristics?
The frequencies, of sound waves create the different notes and pitches. The pitch of a note in music, is determined by its frequency. Higher frequencies corresponding to higher notes, and lower frequencies corresponding to lower notes. When multiple notes are played together, their frequencies combine to create a unique sound called a chord. In music production, the frequencies of different instruments and sounds are carefully balanced to create a pleasing and harmonious overall sound. For instance, boosting the bass frequencies can create a richer, fuller sound, while cutting the mid-range frequencies can make a sound more airy and spacious. Equalization, or EQ, is a technique used to adjust the levels of different frequencies in a sound to create a desired tonal balance. The goal of EQ is to ensure that each instrument and sound occupies its own frequency range, so that frequencies do not overlap and interfere with each other. In this way, EQ is essential to the creation of a well-balanced mix.

A Brief History of Sound Frequency Healing
The Aboriginal people of Australia are the first known culture to heal with sound.
The Australian musical instrument, named the didgeridoo, is known to be a healing tool used for at least 40,000 years. The didgeridoo is made from a hollowed-out eucalyptus tree branch and is played by blowing air into it while vibrating the lips. This creates a low-frequency sound that can be felt throughout the body, and has been found to have therapeutic effects on people with sleep apnea and other respiratory problems.
In ancient times, Shaman priests used drumming vibrations, by chanting and drum work in the attempt to direct spirits or energies for healing.
Egyptian priestesses used the Sistra, a type of musical rattle instrument with metal discs that creates not only a pleasant jangling sound but, as we now know, also generates copious amounts of ultrasound. There is now lots of research by hospitals and clinics into the healing benefits of ultrasound, including its use in breaking up kidney stones and even shrinking tumors.
Exposure to different frequencies can alleviate psychiatric issues such as depression or anxiety as well as stimulate the body to heal physical ailments. Sound frequency healing has been used to treat several different kinds of ailments such as insomnia, depression, and disorders of the nervous system. Acoustic therapies are becoming more and more popular as means to promote self-healing within the body.

The Benefits of Frequency Therapy
Music therapy has been given, to stroke victims to increase the speed of recovery of basic motor functions and speech. Using lights and sounds, has been proven to help Alzheimer patients, stimulate increased neural responses and fight symptoms of dementia. Today, sound frequency healing is used to treat several different kinds of ailments, such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, and disorders of the nervous system. Acoustic therapies are becoming more and more popular as a means to promote self-healing within the body. The study of frequencies, also known as frequency therapy, is a branch of science that explores the power of sound and vibration to promote healing and well-being. Frequency therapy is a highly effective form of therapy that can help promote healing and balance in the body.
Some of the benefits of frequency therapy include:
1. Stress Reduction: Exposure to specific frequencies can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, allowing the body to heal and rejuvenate.
2. Pain Relief: Certain frequencies have been shown to reduce pain and inflammation, making them a powerful tool for managing chronic pain conditions.
3. Improved Sleep: Sound frequencies can help regulate the body's natural sleep cycle, promoting deeper and more restful sleep.
4. Emotional Healing: Sound frequencies can also have a powerful impact on our emotional health, helping to release emotional blockages and promote positive change.
5. Improved Immune Function: By promoting balance and harmony in the body, frequency therapy can help boost immune function, helping to ward off illness and disease.

Conclusion: In conclusion, Pythagoras may have lived over 2,500 years ago, but his contributions to the world of sound and music still resonate today. Pythagoras' teachings about the connection between numbers, music, and the universe have had a significant impact on our understanding of sound and its effects on the body. His discovery of the harmonic relationships between mathematical ratios and different musical chords laid the foundation for the tuning of modern musical instruments. Furthermore, his belief in the healing power of sound and music has influenced the development of sound frequency healing, a practice that has been used to treat various physical and mental ailments. Today, the use of acoustic therapies and sound healing is becoming more common, with research supporting its effectiveness in promoting self-healing within the body. As we continue to explore the potential of sound and frequency healing, we may unlock even more ways to utilize the power of sound for the betterment of our health and wellbeing.
