Enhancing Yoga Experience With Music
By Igor Ivanov


For thousands of years people new about music influence. Loud rhythmic drums became a symbol of war, and can be always heard in military marches. It energizes you, raises your work attitude, it gives you power. Classical music relaxes people, let's their consciousness to float away.

Music is played everywhere, in restaurants, pubs, cafeterias, and yoga classes too. Consciously or subconsciously we understand the importance of it. Music sets our mood. Very often you can see people on rock concerts jumping around, yelling, but this never happens on classical or new age concerts. Music can make you angry, sad, or peaceful.

Modern scientists found out that frequencies beyond our comprehension make our mood. We can hear sounds only with frequencies between 16 and 20'000 Hz. Low and ultra-low frequencies set our mood and influence our subconsciousness. Sounds that we hear very often are carriers of that low frequencies, this is just the way musical instruments work.

Usually people meditate either in silence or listening to some chorus or mild music, for example violin. Sometimes I prefer silence, sometimes I do not. Silence allows you to be on your own, concentrate on what you want, but it is much more difficult to cut of all external influences in silence.

Music allows our consciousness to concentrate on certain physical irritant, but leaving our subconscious mind not disturbed. Our mind "floats away" and it is easier to be in meditation while listening to something. The problem I found with chorus and instrumental music is that sometimes artists go a bit higher in tunes, sometimes lower, pace of different tracks may vary, and it all can disturb you from your meditation. Regular music faces a lot of "filters of consciousness". Sometimes we start being led by the music, and it may ruin the entire meditation experience.

Natural music has a bit different properties. There is no rhythm, there is no intention put in it, and therefore no information carried with it. These are just sounds of birds, water or wind. Natural sounds are classified as "pink", "gray" and "red" noises that do not stay in our consciousness, but go into subconscious mind without almost any "filter". But there is no much use of this "not filtered" music, if is has no information in it.

Astra systems studies influences of music on human body and mind.

Special audio-files were created after a lot of studies. Mainly they consist of birds singing, rustle of leaves, sounds of water, and minimal instrumental music. The difference from regular sound tracks is that these sounds were modulated with special apparatus in an ultra-low frequency range. This music does not disturb you, you can not be led by it. Influencing directly your subconsciousness, your body is stimulated to relaxation, and your mind is stimulated to get in sync with certain frequencies that can be found in human brain during meditation. Apparently, these frequencies can be also found in Nature.

Different studies showed that, for example, healers' brain activity during their sessions corresponds with so called "Waves of Shcumann". These waves are found in ionosphere of Earth. By synchronizing brain activity with Natural frequencies healers get into resonance with that waves and gain amazing powers of healing other people.
