Sliding selenite privacy panel for window

This element is made up of several parts, outlined below, that come together to form a privacy solution for the Mindfulness Center. Essentially it’s a sliding glass door, on a channel system mounted to the ceiling, illuminated with LED lights and finished with a custom painted treatment.

Healing Elements

In the tradition of the Folk Artists of Audrey, the paint covering the panel will be 1) handmade using an all-natural lavender derivative for oil paints and 2) the pigment will be ground out of rocks foraged from right outside of Nashville. The finished effect is a soft, frosted panel that will filter light through the transluscent particles of rock (See the sample image below).

In terms of vibration, as the light passes through this crystal material into the room, it will reflect/refract through these particles and this will change the structure of the light ever so subtly. If you think about air as a substance matter is moving through all the time, it is not a far stretch to think about the light and atmosphere of the room to be affected by the calming, vibration of this mineral. To give you a sense of what this would bring to the room, below is a quote on its metaphysical properties:

“The colorless beauty and translucency of selenite is often attributed to purity and peace in both metaphysical beliefs and color theory. Selenite is excellent to use when meditating or trying to achieve mental clarity, as it is believed to compel the person holding it to be honest with themselves.

Selenite is considered a high-energy crystal that vibrates at a high frequency. Despite being an incredibly soft stone, so soft a fingernail can scratch it, selenite gemstones are believed to be a stone of protection that wards the mind. It is commonly used by crystal practitioners as a way to cleanse the body, mind and spirit of negativity and self-limitation--as well as cleansing other gemstones being used in healing practices.” -Fire Mountain Gems

Logistics

Purchase a ready-made sliding glass panel/interior door custom fit to the window, apply the painted treatment to it onsite at Audrey, and then have it professionally installed with lighting that will illuminate the panel when it’s in its resting place (to the side of the window).

Next steps

the magic of 60 degrees

Sean, you recently informed me that a lot of magic in cooking happens at 60 degrees.

Here’s the power of 60 degrees and it’s connection to 528.

From building hexagon frames (above!) I know the number of degrees in the mitered corner of a hexagon (or an equilateral six-sided polygon) is 60 degrees.

There is something about 60 degrees and perfection. There are many triangles totaling 180 degrees, but an equilateral triangle is 180 (3x60) degrees. There are many six sided polygons totaling 360 degrees, but a hexagon is 360 (6x60) degrees. There are many ellipses, but a perfect circle is 360 (6x60) degrees. Have you heard that it is near humanely impossible to draw a perfect circle?

I’d like to link this perfection to archetypes, or this idea of Platonic forms. Something about the number 60 moves us closer to perfection. Plato talked about “forms” being the “non-physical essence of all things” and that objects in the world are like imperfect reflections of this ideal…the example we always used in philosophy class was that of a chair. Most every human can recognize a chair, but there is not one chair that defines all chairs in existence.

Even in math, these shapes exist in a rather abstract realm. In the real world, their “perfection” is only as measurable as humans most precise measuring instrument. For example, we can only claim a circle is “perfect” as precisely as we can measure it, which is limited by our technology and perception after a certain decimal point of accuracy. The number “60” may be a key to bring us as close as possible to geometrical perfection.

Perfection, in it’s purest state, does not exist in our world—our experiences in the natural world and everything we encounter are imperfect reflections of archetypical ideal.

This “archetypical realm”, I believe, is another dimension (6D) where an ideal version of our selves lives—our highest self. As we strive for perfection, we are guided toward this ideal state through our intuition. This is the voice inside you that keeps telling you to make more pizza.

I think everything in our phenomenal world has a corresponding perfect archetype that we cannot quite fathom in this three dimensional plane… it’s through the process of creating that we are able to receive that glimpse!

All perfect equilateral shapes can be encompassed inside a circle. Tesla demonstrated this, as illustrated by this 3 minute video.

If 60 degrees connects us to geometric perfection, and 360 circle holds all perfect equilateral shapes, examining what other phenomena we can structure around a circle could tell us something about its ideal, perfect state?

The relationship between 60 and 528

We can examine 528 relationship to perfection by wrapping it around a perfect circle.
To do this, it’s helpful to think of the circle of a clock.

528 x 60 = 31,680

528 oscillations per second multiplied by 60 gives you the number of oscillations per minute, or 31,680 oscillations in one minute.

The Common Ground Between a Circle and a Clock

Total degrees in circumference of clock: 360
Total minutes in an hour (or seconds in a minute): 60

360/60 = 6

So “6” is our common denominator

88 x 6 = 528

Multiplying 88 (one degree of oscillations of the circle) by 6, we get 528 Hz!

Oscillation

As you can see from the above, there are several different ways oscillations can play out.

When you look at the first figure which shows a dampened oscillation, you can think of sound dissipating as it moves through air.

Food, Alignment, and Perfection

The phrase “coming into alignment” can be applied to many different scenarios. There’s the physical alignment of our spine and bodies, the alignment of our energetic bodies (through reiki, acupuncture, etc.), the alignment of our actions with our values…I would make a case that moving through trauma is aligning the origins of our emotions with the events in our life—and that triggers are aligning the emotional volume with the timing of those events.

The entire universe is built upon octaves of itself. “Coming into alignement” could be uniting these octaves, creating a path of resonant harmony. I believe you are already doing this when you season green beans with the aminos of those beans, or create squash that roasts in octaves of itself. I would love to spend some time alongside you or Colby in the Audrey Lab, asking questions that ties your work back to the larger phenomenal universe.

Perhaps this research could be continued through a grant through the non-profit of Audrey, or with myself as a temporary employee. I am so fascinated by the intersection of my research with your vast, encyclopedic knowledge of food and cooking.

sound bowls and 528 hz

Studying the Solfeggio frequencies and Sound Healing led me to Quartz Sound Bowls. The sound from these bowls, as it dissipates, surges through the octaves of sound, re-entraining the energy to the frequency of the bowl on its way through the body. This happens on many levels: from the audible, to the palpable, to the cellular, molecular, down to the subatomic.

why sound bowls?

• Sound bowls are intuitive to use

• Healing will happen inherently, regardless of the users knowledge or skill, and the room is already soundproof

• They are a relatively new invention (a byproduct of Silicon Valley in the 90’s) so there is no concern of cultural appropriation

• There is no minimum time limit for their effectiveness

• The resonant tones of the bowls clears energetic blockages in our body and bring us back to homeostasis (I think they are resonant with parts of our subconscious!!!—not sure how to prove this yet)

• They are 99.99% pure fused quartz, and carry the metaphysical benefits of quartz (quartz powers our computers, clocks, and cars)

• They can be lit from below to provide a soft light feature in the room. Like the panel, the quartz crystal will filter light and sound energetically in the room.

• They’re beautiful objects!

Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, an oncologist (Western, traditional medicine) who incorporated sound healing modalities into his treatment plans, speaks of the benefits below:

Gaynor: I also use quartz crystal bowls. These are made out of the same quartz crystals that microchips are made out of. They can be tuned to any note and they’re incredible. When you play them, it brings out all sorts of tones, overtones and harmonics in your own voice. That can also be very healing. I think it’s very important for us to bring back some of the ancient wisdom. When I started looking into sound and healing I found that every culture on earth has used sound, voice and music as part of their healing rituals...

...We can look at ourselves as vibration, and so tone and voice and music effects us on every level. It’s important to know you’re exposed to disharmony every day. Cars honking at you in a traffic jam, a jackhammer when you’re walking along the street, or somebody yelling at you. But all these things can be retuned. We need to take time to retune our bodies, like we would a fine instrument. The way to do that is to take 15 or 20 minutes in the morning and another few minutes before you go to sleep at night to focus on your inner harmony.”

The Musical Scale of the sound bowls

For the room I’d like to recommend:

A set of eight quartz bowls in the C-Major Octave with 444Hz A tuning,
which makes the 5th Middle C 528 HZ.

This will center the 528 Hz bowl/frequency at the heart of the golden sprial of the room. A full C Major scale allows for the more musically inclined using the room to play songs in the C Major key. Including both the fourth octave C (264Hz) and fifth octave middle C (528Hz), I believe, will aid in the clearing of energetic blockages. The nature of sound from these sound bowls is rich and resonant, full of overtones and undertones. In my experience in working with these bowls, to “book end” yourself between two octaves of the same note feels beneficial…it’s as if the resonant sound of the low C and high C stretch towards each other, while bridging all of sound in-between the two notes. This becomes very interesting when you think of the C Major scale in terms of chakras, as each note of the scale relates to a chakra:

• C = Root

• D = Sacral

• E = Solar Plexus

• F = Heart = ~ 360 Hz

• G = Throat

• A = Third Eye = 444 Hz

• B = Crown

• C = Root = 528 Hz (Grounding/Rooted in Love)

I have more research about the specific healing Key of music if you are interested!

Through a process called “toning” you can use your voice to match the pitch of the bowl, to integrate that healing frequency surrounding you by using your voice to “match” and create the same resonant frequency from the inside-out! Sound moves through water at nearly five times the rate it moves through air.

When you think about the high water content in our bodies, it’s easier to imagine the transformative power of this toning technique. There is also evidence that the 528Hz frequency can actually purify water. This was successfully performed on a section of water from the BP Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

In 2010, John Hutchinson, an electromagnetic energy expert from Vancouver, B.C., Canada, helped purify poisoned water off the Gulf of Mexico following the BP oil spill. He and his research partner, Nancy Hutchinson (formerly Nancy Lazaryan), used the 528 Hz frequency and other Solfeggio tones to reduce the oil and grease in polluted water

...

Their results were certified by Dr. Robert Naman, President of Analytical Chemical Testing Laboratory, Inc. of Mobile, Alabama. Dr. Naman, an analytical chemist with almost 30 years in the field, tested the samples and confirmed the complete removal of oil and grease from the after treatment sample source tested.

As you can see, the amount of oil and grease “before” the frequency treatment was 7 ppm (parts per million, or milligrams per liter); while the samples that had undergone the frequency exposure measured less than 1 ppm. (Results)

If our bodies are mostly water, it does not seem like a stretch to me to assume the 528Hz frequency could remove toxins from the water in our bodies.
