Why the Harmonic Egg?

It’s been the question of the day since I announced the creation in July, 2017.

I have been studying sound and light therapies and healing for eight years. I have owned and operated my own healing center during this time and observed the effects of several therapies on clients’ health and well-being. I have owned two technologies that were sound and light chambers. I created the Harmonic Egg as a new and innovative, next generation healing chamber based on my observations of clients before and after sessions in the previous two technologies, research on the modality, reading books from experts in the industry, white paper studies and collaboration with the medical community.  The Harmonic Egg is a large ellipse (egg shape) where the client reclines inside the “egg” or chamber in a chair. We are getting great feedback thus far and continue to do research.

It was not easy to build this unit. The materials used are natural. It was a challenge to find materials that could bend in the shape of an ellipse to form an egg. Plus, we had to create a chamber that resonated the sound in a holographic-like micro-environment. Instead of hearing the sound from a speaker, you hear it in what I think is its natural broadcast. It’s super fun! Sometimes I hear the sound above my head and I know there are not any speakers above my head. The angles, the ratios and all the other concepts we use in this Harmonic Egg is proprietary information, but it was well thought out and evolved from ancient teaching and texts. The size of the Harmonic Egg will fit in a 10’ x10’ room on a diagonal, but it’s better to have a 12’ x12’ room. It took about almost a year from start to finish to create the first prototype that is now operational at Life Center in Westminster, Colorado.

One of the issues I observed with the previous technologies was sound distortion. In the previous chambers, automotive type round speakers are used beneath a thick foam pad where the client lies flat during sessions.  There is cubic air space under the speakers, but I don’t believe it’s the proper cubic air space for the rating of the speakers. I always felt there was a lot of distortion from the music having to come through a foam pad. Our nervous systems tend to take distortion and make up “data” to fill in gaps to process information. My experience and research led me to realize that I wanted to get the purest sound and little to no distortion, hence another reason for the Harmonic Egg.

Let me mention here that lying flat for some clients is not comfortable nor relaxing. Clients have neck and back issues and want pillows and bolsters as props for comfort. In addition, some clients have a hard time rolling up from a flat position to exit the chamber. The Harmonic Egg uses a reclining chair and has been much more comfortable for clients.

There is also the issue of the music that is being played. Over the years, I have studied sound and how different instruments effect / affect the body (physically and emotionally so I am using both spellings of the word). I have worked with sound and lighting experts gathering lots of information to create the Harmonic Egg. When you compress a CD into an MP3 format you lose much of the quality, frequencies, musical information, etc.  Compression changes the original intent of how the music was intended to be enjoyed. MP3s are for convenience so you can fit 1,000 songs on your MP3 player. It’s quite complicated, but easy to understand once you hear the difference. Based on my experience, the previous two technologies both use compressed music. The Harmonic Egg uses the higher quality CD resolution giving the body and nervous system a purer listening experience. There is a difference!!!!  Then there was the investigation for the right speakers, subwoofer, amplifier and player for the music. Sound systems are not all created equal; the components have to all play nicely together. For example, there are surround amplifiers and integrative amplifiers and subwoofers that have speakers on the side and the bottom versus just the bottom or just the side. Speakers have different elements that make them relevant for different applications. The sound system was the second most important consideration after designing the structure and shape of the Harmonic Egg.

Oh, not to mention the search for the right kind of music to use and the right tones and instruments and frequencies. This is something I have been studying for six years. It’s important to consider:  Who is the artist? What is their intention of the music? I learned so much about selecting music…testing and seeing how clients respond to the music and paying attention to the sound quality and frequencies. These are important details that effect / affect the clients’ response in the Harmonic Egg.

Next there is the light therapy. I think in the future we will get more and more sophisticated technologies, but for now we do know that different light frequencies are effective / affective for healing. For example, if you are a woman with a lot of yeast infections this can be due to an imbalance in the body (specifically the sacral chakra), and using orange light and the instrument of the flute can help bring that back into balance. This is the type of training I never received with the two previous technologies, but after studying for the past ten years I can offer this type of training with the Harmonic Egg. Many lighting systems don’t give you the full color spectrum of lights. It took me about eight months of research to choose the lights and the right type of remote to control the lights and light settings.

We can’t forget about the chair for the client while they are in a session. I searched the world over for a chair that reclines at the right angle for the best results in the Harmonic Egg. It also had to meet the criteria for size and comfort for so many shapes and sizes of clients. It was a matter of thinking about how the client would feel and how the technician putting them in for a session would be able to comfortably and easily support the client.

Every thought and idea for the Harmonic Egg was well thought out for both the client and the center owner or technician from the complexity of the technologies used, effectiveness, to the ease of setup and use, cost and comfort.

How long does a client need to stay in the chamber, the protocol? We are using 40 minutes and then the POWERFUL 10 minutes of silence in the chamber to integrate the session. It’s truly an amazing experience! I read a white paper in 2016 that came out of Feiburg, Germany. It described the use of deep relaxing music to help patients heal and they discovered a period of 6.5 minutes of silence helped integrate the healing, so I adopted that discovery and added a few extra minutes because I feel the silence is important and more was needed. If you have read anything about chiropractic care and its beginnings, there are accounts where the doctor was trained to ensure the patient rests at the office for a short time to help the adjustment integrate and set into the body. Integration of all these modalities that people do these days is so very important.  I give the analogy of digesting food. You don’t eat a salad and then when you are full go eat a sandwich and then pile another salad on top of that… do you? No! You let the first salad digest and “integrate” with your body before moving on to a sandwich later in the day or the next day.  Energy work is the same…you must let one modality digest before you “feed” it more.

The previous chambers had single sessions and sets of sessions depending on the condition of the client. For chronic conditions sets of sessions were recommended. That hits the body more consistently with the energy to help the body heal faster. A client can choose to go slow or accelerate the healing process. A single session takes about four (4) days to integrate before you would be able to schedule another session (there are exceptions to all rules). A set of sessions consists of a client coming every 4 days for approximately four to eight (4-8) sessions. That means a client would do a session and four (4) days later do another and four (4) days later another for four to eight times total. After a set, a client would take a break from any and all other energy work for three to four weeks. We supply you with a protocol for integrating sessions where we suggest dietary changes as well.

Finally, I did think about and tried aromatherapy in the room for the clients. The determination thus far is that it’s a bit of sensory overload for many clients. It might be something to use on a case-by-case basis, but as of now I am not using it. There are so many clients with neurological issues and chemical sensitivities I just don’t think it’s needed nor will it make the sessions more effective.

So, that’s the story of the Harmonic Egg and why I created it! If you have any questions or would like to learn more you contact me.

Egg Experience

I spent a few weeks meditating before starting on this painting. What do I say about this healing modality that has helped me and others in ways that is incomprehensible. The process of going within and waiting for images to appear in the order in which I should paint them was a beautiful process all its own. I was also surprised how loosely the paint laid on and that I kept getting the message that that was part of the message to be relayed. That our own creativity and how we each individually show up in the world is the creation of living life. As I painted this I had the knowing feeling that I was just the vessel and much more love and healing is infused in the painting from workers outside of myself.

The image at the bottom is our subconsciousness, dark blue water with the image of the egg rising up through it. The egg itself is made up of the Flower of Life sacred geometry, unity of ALL. There are the two triangles that represent both the Devine female and Devine male aspects of each of us. Those two cross each other in the center of the egg, the nucleus.

We are the egg, the sun shapes are images of letting light in. The small uneven shapes that are subtly around the white part of the egg, is our energy coming off the egg going out sharing our aura and energy with those around us. The aura colors are lighter in intensity than what we are used to seeing. I had the explicit thought that we are becoming lighter beings and our auras are less intense. Many of us are allowing more light into our immediate auras becoming healed beings.

The top of the painting is the expanse of the night sky, representing the ethers. The Harmonic Egg can assist you to go to places that seem so far away, either in our physical body or outside of it. There were originally 2 more stars and as I painted, two of them were painted over, I tried to paint them back in but was stopped by intuition, and then I counted, 13 stars! There are many wonderful meanings for the number 13.

The circle at the top of the egg is our crown chakra, bright and glowing. The concentric circles going down the sides are representing the 3 dimensionality of the Flower of Life. Think of the Flower of Life as 3d light bubbles, the design intersecting within itself, ALL inclusive.

The sound and light are working on our DNA at a molecular level. The round red shapes that cross over the painting represents our cells and our physical healing as we allow the Harmonic Egg to heal us. They are denser and closer together towards the bottom and have more room and freedom after we pass through the egg going up as a rising diagonal.”  ~Jody Rigsby

The Benefits of Forest Bathing

Most people these days who live urban, fast-paced lives have no time to stop and breathe. Going around like a clock all the time builds up stress in the mind and the body resulting in various chronic illnesses. Spending time amid nature is, unsurprisingly, a scientifically proven remedy. Unfortunately, city life leaves people with little time to venture out into the greenery. Thankfully, forest bathing has emerged as a healing therapy through which you could rejuvenate your mind and body simply by taking a walk down a thick, wooded area, with ample greenery, soaked in all the goodness of nature.

How to Experiences Forest Baths?

Forest bathing is not a new concept. It originated in Japan back in the 1980s and was locally called ‘Shinrin-Yoku’. With time and more research on its benefits, the therapy has extended to the rest of the world. If you plan on taking a forest bath, here are a few ways to go about it.

Forest Therapy Walks

In Japan, forest therapy walks are predominantly held in thick, coniferous forests; in other regions of the world, the wilderness can vary. For optimum benefits, contact a certified forest therapist who can organize a walk through your area’s best forest regions. The idea is to take slow walks through the thick woods and engage in the sounds and the smells of the surrounding environment. This is not the same as going for a hike but is more of a meditative approach than a vigorous exercise.

Local Gardens and Parks

For those who do not have access to certified forest therapy tours, you could still organize a forest bath to suit yourself. Any time spent within nature and in the company of trees is known to be beneficial to your overall health. If you have a local garden or a park in your area, go and take advantage of it. Be sure to include earthing techniques in the experience, which means walking barefoot on mud or grass. If your local park is more concrete than natural walkways, however, earthing may not work.

Simulate with Essential Oils

What if you do not have access to either natural forests or local parks? Could you still experience forest bathing from the comforts of your home? Well, it may not be ideal, but incorporating certain essential oils such as rosemary and frankincense in your environment could help simulate the experience. To enhance the feeling of being there in an actual forest, you could fill a room with lively pictures of dense woods and breathe in the essential oils while your eyes soak in the pleasure of the images of the lavish verdure. As an add-on, you could go for a deep tissue massage with sounds from the forest while being engulfed in the woody fragrance of the essential oils.

Simulate with Harmonic Egg

Another way of obtaining similar benefits to forest bathing without stepping into an actual forest is to use a harmonic egg. A harmonic egg is an egg-shaped chamber, as large as a room, where you could recline in a zero-gravity chair while experiencing the harmonious, soothing effects of light, sound, and vibration. The inside of the egg is made with wood, and the shape of the chamber utilizes sacred geometry; used together, both can potentially mimic the feeling of being present within a forest. The use of tonal healing techniques could be applied to modulate the internal atmosphere to sound as close to a natural forest as possible. The use of frequency medicine, which forms an integral part of the harmonic egg, is a well-researched method of healing.

Benefits of Forest Bathing

Let us now look at some of the great things forest bathing could do to your mind and body.

• Stress Reduction

Forest bathing has been seen to significantly reduce cortisol, the hormone that otherwise remains elevated for those who deal with chronic stress.

• Improved Immune System

Japanese research has shown that spending time in the woods enhances the natural killer cells in the human body. This effectively arms the immune system to fight against various illnesses.

• Improved Heart Health

Taking a walk among the dense foliage could significantly lower your blood pressure, thus improving your overall heart health. If you are dealing with hypertension, this is nature’s gift for you.

• Boosting of Mood and Creativity

Spending time with nature and away from digital distractions could help release hormones that pertain to happiness. Being one with nature might also nurture the creative portion of the brain.

• The Woods Are Calling

Being surrounded by nature is beneficial to both physical and emotional health. Take some time out of your busy lives to immerse yourself in the arms of Mother Nature and benefit by her abundant gifts of diverse flora. ‘A walk in the park’ is often the simplest way to heal yourself and give yourself the much-needed energy boost.

The Power of Sound Baths

If there is one thing that is common to all those who live the modern lifestyle is that life is full of stress and no matter what you do you keep finding yourself in anxious situations over and over again. Among various ways to reduce stress, one of the well-researched ones is meditation. While there are many different ways to meditate, an upcoming method is to go for sound baths. If you are wondering whether sound baths are good for you, read on to find more about this new technology. In many ways sound bath could be just right for you given that music has been used for healing even in ancient times. So let us delve into what sound bath is, how you can do it, and what the benefits are.

What is a Sound Bath?

A sound bath is nothing but a way to relax your mind while ambient music plays in the background. To benefit from this technology you must visit a licensed sound therapist. In a sound bath class, a sound therapist plays music at different frequencies while you are either lying down comfortably on your back or are sitting on a chair. In other words, sound baths help you reach a meditative state by playing relaxing, soothing, and engaging sounds. Many different ways are used by sound therapists to ensure you reach that meditative state. Here are a few ways in which sound therapy works.

Frequency Medicine

The most popular method that sound therapists use to initiate a sound bath is by playing repetitive notes on small instruments such as gemstone bowls, crystal bowls, and gongs. Different frequencies played harmoniously result in getting your troubling thoughts away from your mind so that you can enter a meditative state. The state of mind is divided into the alpha, beta, and delta stages. The beta stage is your alert state of mind and it is this state that you need to come out of. When different frequencies are played on different instruments, it leads to a change of stage from beta to alpha, where you are conscious of your surroundings but your mind is more relaxed. The way this works is that the different frequencies cause different vibrations in your body and change the pattern in which your mind thinks. With prolonged exposure, you could reach the delta stage where your mind goes to sleep, relaxes, and rejuvenates.

Harmonic Egg

A Harmonic Egg is a large, egg-shaped chamber about the size of a room. It is designed with sacred geometry and living wood on the inside, which boasts of effective acoustics. Once inside the chamber, you could recline in a zero-gravity chair while you embrace the soothing sensation of light, sound, and vibration. This combination can produce a relaxing and calming effect on the mind so that you let go of your stressful thoughts. Please note that this is a nascent technology and studies to back it up are rare, but other research suggests positive effects of light and sound therapy on various illnesses.

Combination with Massage

A third way to relax and rejuvenate is to combine a deep tissue massage with sound. In such a scenario, rhythmic frequencies are played while you lie on the massage table soaked in the goodness of essential oils and the healing touch of your therapist. Deep tissue massage continues to alleviate your pain and relax your muscles, while the sound therapy ensures your mind is relaxed and you reached a state of total calmness. Frequencies from different instruments are applied to your energy points to ensure you experience the maximum benefits of the deep tissue massage as well as the sound healing process.

Why Do You Need It?

Now that you know what sound baths are, let us talk about some of the benefits of this new technology.

Reduce Stress

It has been already established that a sound bath is beneficial for reducing anxiety and stress. So, how does it do that? It is more to do with different notes being played at different frequencies from different instruments in a harmonious way that changes your brain waves. When your brain reaches a relaxing state, it induces a reduction in heart rate, palpitations, and other anxiety-related symptoms.

Normalize Blood Pressure

The power of sound therapy is also known to reduce blood pressure. If you are suffering from hypertension you might want to give this a try. When your mind is exposed to different sounds and vibrations, there is a positive effect on your heart health and your respiratory system. This effectively normalizes your blood pressure levels.

Improve Mindful Meditation

While the therapy itself can be considered as a meditation method, it is also beneficial if you want to use sound in addition to other ways to meditate. For example, if you happen to use a yoga pose for meditating, using soothing sounds in the background helps your mind get out of bothering thoughts to focus on the sounds instead. This process helps you reach a state of mindfulness.

Heal Yourself With Sound

Sound baths are a painless way to heal your mind, but if you are new to this, ensure you find a licensed sound therapist in your area. Once you attend a few classes by a qualified instructor, you will begin to notice changes in your body and your mind. Use the power of sound today to bring about a healthy you.
