I mean a scary, end of the world as\nwe know it, hunker-down-in-our-basements, real-life crisis. It&#8217;s a little bit\nlike the movies&#8230; with a disturbing dystopian feel&#8230; maybe millions dead? I\nmean, wow. But now that we have had a chance to get used to the thing &#8211; we are\nstarting to MOVE. I see real action and urgency and even results. The\ngovernment and the private sector are actually cooperating. And the banks are\neven helping out. And of course, the First Responders and the Medical people\nare absolute SAINTS! True Heroes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My thing is <em>Sound Healing<\/em> and Alternative Views on\nSpirituality and Ancient Civilizations and the nature of the universe and ourselves&#8230;\nAnd amazingly, today I see Modern Science using Sound and Music in new\nstartling ways &#8211; and even fighting the Coronavirus pandemic with music&#8230;\nSounds like what I would do. Anyway onward&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\nrecently read about a Team of scientists from MIT who were literally using a\nMusical attack on the Coronavirus. Without attempting to be technical &#8211; the MIT\nscientists converted the protein on the spiky protrusions of the Coronavirus\ninto a musical score. They examined the virus at a microscopic level. At this\nscale, they could detect building-block amino acids that comprised the virus.\nThey assigned musical notes from a musical scale to each amino acid. They then\nselected instruments and &#8220;played&#8221; the musical score of the Amino\nAcids, making up the virus. Amazingly, the resulting composition was a\nreasonably sonorous coherent piece. You can read the original article at Sciencemag.org\nby Vineeth Venugopal on April 3, 2020. There is also a recording of the music on\nthis website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nMIT researchers were using a technique called <strong><em>sonification<\/em><\/strong>. The process\nof sonification assigns musical notes to certain key quantities in nature. Then\nthe resulting music is played and analyzed for critical underlying patterns and\nsequences. This approach has been used successfully in the past on a wide\nvariety of studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exerts on Sonification from Wiki: In 1976, philosopher of technology,\nDon Ihde, wrote, &#8220;Just as science produces an infinite set of visual\nimages for virtually all of its phenomena&#8211;atoms to galaxies are familiar to us\nfrom coffee table books to science magazines. So &#8216;music,&#8217; too, could be\nproduced from the same data that provides visualizations.&#8221; This appears to\nbe one of the earliest references to sonification as a creative practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonification&nbsp;is\nthe use of non-speech&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sound\">audio<\/a>&nbsp;to convey&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Information\">information<\/a>&nbsp;or perceptualize data. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Auditory_system\">Auditory perception<\/a>&nbsp;has advantages in temporal, spatial, amplitude, and\nfrequency resolution that open possibilities as an alternative or complement\nto&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Data_visualization\">visualization<\/a>&nbsp;techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nresearchers hoped that by composing a musical representation of the protein on\nthe outside of the Coronavirus that they can detect and exploit weaknesses in\nthe protein. They have an extensive database of similar musical representations\nof other proteins. Music can give a unique view on the underlying physical\nsystems &#8211; and in this case, hopefully, reveal sites of the Coronavirus protein\nthat could be attacked and bound up &#8211; and thus make it unable to attach to\nbiological sites in the cells of their host. In other words, researchers\nbelieved that they could get unique insights into vulnerabilities in the\nCoronavirus through music. And further, attack these weak points and render the\nvirus harmless to humans. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nwork of the MIT scientists is not surprising to me. I have been studying the\nspecial power of music and sound for a long time&#8230; OK, 40 years or so. I have\nseen that music and sound are fundamental aspects of our universe. Sound Energy\nis embedded in the fabric of the universe, and it can be deployed in many, many\nways. And the fact that the molecular structure of a protein on a deadly virus\ncan be converted to a musical score &#8211; is just one more affirmation to me that sound\nis a universal constant. I have seen Sound and Music heal, affect\nconsciousness, intellect, and emotions. Sound Energy can even interact with\nsubtle energies crossing the physical and the spiritual realms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most\nrecently, I have collaborated with Modern Master Sharry Edwards on yet other\nnew applications of Sound Frequencies. Sharry has been able to identify\ncritical compounds and nutrients for optimum protection of your immune system\nagainst the Coronavirus in particular. I have taken Sharry&#8217;s frequencies and\nmade them available to anyone for FREE, easy listening (headphones are best).\nFor anyone interested, visit the site: CoronaVirusDefense.org to learn of our\nefforts to help battle this modern scourge with sound based tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jill\u2019s interview with Darius goes into details of how this music is effective. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youwealthrevolution.com\/ywr19\/offers\/Jill\/\">Her offer <\/a>includes the best of her soundhealing modalities! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Jill Mattson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jill Mattson is a prolific Artist, Musician, and Author.
