528 Hz - MIRACLE TONE

528 Hz - MIRACLE TONE
"There is no secret here, towards the end of each note you hear (assuming your wearing earphones), upon the heightening of the frequency so too is your central cortex stimulated". - Professor Chris Thorpe BM, MRCP, FRCs. 
 It somewhat 'guarantees' to influence positivity throughout the mind, creating a bond between the brain and the central nervous system whilst stimulating the pineal gland. Research is still being carried out but to date 98.7% of people tested have reported a very noticeable or drastic increase in confidence and positivity after only listening to this track once. However Professor Thorpe urges people to listen to it on a regular basis, for at least a week before noticing what he describes as a, "Profound understanding of yourself, along with a deeper understanding of the world around you." He then goes on to say, "the mind can only be cleared once it understands itself and the space within, however this can take time, listening to this audio track once-a-day for a week should be sufficient in giving clear results. There are different parts of the brain the frequencies within the audio masking stimulate - the left, the right and the central cortex, the frontal lobe is also key here. That is why we recommend wearing headphones to achieve optimal results, the eyes must also be closed." Research undertaken in Birmingham, UK, 2012. 987 people out of 1000 tested claimed moderate to extreme positive psychological results after hearing this track just once. © Rainford Studios Media

The Secrets Of Vibration (528 Hz) - Hidden truths of sound! - Law Of Attraction -Part 1 John Lennon performed "Imagine" in 528. Why? Because he "got," as we have--the opportunity of co-creating peace-on-earth, by musicially tuning to the "LOVE frequency. 528 Hertz is a frequency that is central to the "musical mathematical matrix of creation." More than any sound previously discovered, the "LOVE frequency" resonates at the heart of everything. It connects your heart, your spiritual essence, to the spiraling reality of heaven and earth. 1. The Solfeggio Scale promotes a musical scale based on the 528hz C as being the "holy" scale of God. 2. That the current musical standard (440hz A) was institutionalized by the Rockefeller Foundation and Joseph Goebbels. 3. That sound frequencies can effect cellular structure/DNA. 4. The frequency of 528hz (C) has the ability to heal DNA. p3 download!

INSPIRED ACTION

There is a huge difference between inspired action and busying yourself with activity in trying to make things happen. When you are busying yourself with activity because you don’t believe the Universe is working with you, everything is hard and feels like a struggle. You feel as though you are pushing against the current of the river and getting nowhere. You feel exhausted, things begin to go wrong, and it feels like nothing is going your way. But when you are working consciously with the intelligence of the Universe, everything is effortless. All your needs to accomplish your vision are met, and you are in a flow that is indescribable.

LET IT BE

Have you ever heard of the saying ‘ what we resist persists, and what we embrace we erase’ ? When we welcome everything into our heart and let it be, there is no struggle.  John Lennon said it beautifully, ‘when I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be’.  Everyone can have their own interpretation of what these words mean, but it’s the ‘let it be’ that brings about the peace.  Try this next time your faced with a challenging situation in your life, and see what happens. It may be uncomfortable to begin with because we are used to taking control towards an outcome, but it is very interesting to watch what happens when you just let go, and let be, before reacting.
