There are really two kinds of resonance I want to focus on. The first is harmonic resonance… and I’m sure that most people have seen it demonstrated in school…  Do you remember the experiment where one tuning fork is struck and starts to vibrate… And then a second identical tuning fork also begins to vibrate even though it has’nt been struck? That’s an example of harmonic resonance. The basic idea is that one thing that is in a state of vibration can have an effect on another thing that is somehow in tune with those vibrations.

The second type of resonance I’ll call wave resonance. In this type of resonance there are two things that are vibrating. The first one is vibrating at a certain frequency and phase. If the second thing vibrates at the same frequency and phase then the resulting vibration from both will be stronger. On the other hand if the second vibration is out of phase with the first, then the resulting vibration will be weaker… and that can be called dissonance. So, the basic idea is that when two objects are in a state of vibration, the resulting vibration from both depends on the degree to which they’re in phase or, the degree to which they are in resonance or dissonance.

We can sum this up with two basic principles. First that one object will react to another vibrating object when it’s somehow tuned to that object. For the moment, don’t worry about what tuned actually means, but think of it in terms of the two tuning forks or tuning in to a radio station. Second, when two vibrating objects are in the presence of each other their vibrations will interact to produce a resulting vibration that is either stronger or weaker depending on the extent to which the two vibrating objects are in resonance. These two ideas have been presented in terms of only two objects, but the same idea can be applied to hundreds or thousands of objects or more.

Now, let’s relate this to the Human Energy Field by returning to the basic building block of the universe, Qi. Qi is in a state of vibration. Well, actually, there are millions and millions of vibrations, not just one. The physical, emotional, and mental energy bodies are in a state of vibration.. and so are the chakras and meridians. These vibrations within the body interact resonantly and dissonantly. And we interact with other people and other things in the environment both resonantly and dissonantly because everything… and I mean everything has vibratory information. The fact is that we’re not isolated beings in the universe. Instead, we’re constantly interacting with everything… and we know that both from the ancient teachings about Qi and the most modern teachings of physics… It’s just a little hard for our egos to deal with.

And there is a special relationship to the human nervous system and brain. Objects in the world work through our senses to create certain patterns in our neurosystem. In a sense we can think of these objects like tuning forks that set off certain neurological tuning forks in our brains. That’s really the act of perception and recognition… and that recognition sets off certain energies in our body. A basketball may give rise to enjoyment. The amazing thing is that when we just think of that same object we set up the same resonance in our brain and send the vibration out to the rest of our bodies and to the world. This is a huge leap in thinking because it takes us from the Newtonian marbles of concrete, discrete objects to the world of people, animals, plants, things, emotions, and ideas all interacting with each other at vibrational levels… and the resonant interactions among things result in changes in the human energy field. Some have an overall strengthening or positive effect and others have a weakening or negative effect. That is the essence of enegetic medicine.
