The practice of traveling to far away places in
search of hot springs, to effect cures for ailments dates back to pre-historic
times. Every country has such ancient healing spots, which serve more or less
as tourist destinations now. But the healing waters have remained – in the form
of manmade Spas…
Now we have gone a step further, and have spas in
the airports, malls, as well as in cruise ships, other than the hotels and
resorts! Healthy living and anti-aging products seem to be the top grossers in
the market.
Like in any other field, ‘innovation’ is the key to
sell in the spa industry as well. The Pavia Day Spa, located in Saratoga, California, recently announced
the addition of ‘Harmonic Healing’ to its menu of Spa services.
Harmonic Healing uses specially calibrated
tuning forks to clear the body of negative energy blocks and rebalance it, thus
restoring health. The treatments are performed on fully clothed clients. Targeting
specific problem areas, the calibrated tuning forks are applied to specific
acupuncture points on the body, accessing the energy meridians and chakras. The
tuning forks represent a natural harmonic series based upon the orbital and
vibrational properties of various celestial bodies including the Earth, Moon,
Sun and the planets. The forks are activated using the Acutonics Healing System
pads, then placed on the body or held near the ears.

Healing has an interesting history. Asclepius was the god of medicine
and healing in ancient Greek mythology. His healing temples were called
Asclepions, and pilgrims flocked to them to be healed. They slept overnight and
reported their dreams to a priest the following morning, who prescribed a cure,
often a visit to the baths. Reminds one of a spa!
Now, another thing also
happened in those ancient Greek temples. When
one entered an Asclepion, the first thing that was done was that one’s name and
important dates were analyzed. Then the musicians would convert these to Harmonics,
and play the music. This would be the trigger that opened the door for healing
to occur!
The
ancient Greeks believed in a simple truth – the human being is a ‘song’… a
Harmonic Being. Every part of our physical, emotional and mental selves is
ringing out the effects of our environment and upbringing. Our every action and
thought are part of a Harmonic Map. Where we are out of synch with the natural
order, therein lies a disease or a sense of imbalance with life. But we can
re-create ourselves simply by learning to sing a different tune.
We
are our own composer, our own conductor and our own orchestra. What we sing is
what we become. It is well known and understood that we become what we express,
think and feel, therefore it is reasonable to assume a link between our inner
‘song’ and disease, anger, violent behaviour, or addiction… All of this dis-ease
or negative experience is part of a dissonant discordant song within us.

Healing therapy changes such dis-eased conditions for the better, by creating a
more harmonious state within the person. Change always does indeed come from
within!
Life
is actually very simple: if we breathe poison with our words, and hold on to
depressing and ugly thoughts, 'this' is what we become. As we sow, so shall we
reap, and what we reap we tend to re-sow. Think: is it time for us to break the
cycle? Is it time for some fresh, new seeds to be planted?
