SOUND TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED INTO METATONES

To most people Metatones sounds as though it is a totally new sound therapy. However, many of the techniques and technologies utilized by Metatones have been successfully used by respected professionals for many years. The next few pages will highlight some of the healing sound techniques successfully utilized by others that are integrated into the Metatones technology. It is important to understand that when it comes to the human brain man has learned how to monitor its functions through the use of EEG tests and more recently QEEG monitoring technologies.

Binaural Beat

As also discussed within the Description of Metatones - Part 2, when different frequencies are simultaneously played through right and left channels of stereo headphones the difference between those frequencies creates what is referred to as binaural beats. Robert Monroe made this practice well known in the 1960's with his book, Journeys Out of the Body. Today the Monroe Institute continues the work started by Robert Monroe and is considered by many to be the leader in alternative sound therapy. Monroe utilized this binaural beat technique to induce a variety of responses and benefits. For example, if frequencies of 300 and 400 hertz are played in the right and left ears respectively, 100 and 700 hertz binaural beats are created. The difference between and the sums of the frequencies played into each ear create electrical signals within the brain. These self generating signals occur whenever the two hemispheres of the brain work together. As previously discussed, this is a unique type of exercise therapy for the brain. Properly used, binaural beats alter and refine existing brain wave patterns into what Monroe called hemisphere synchronization. Simply stated, binaural beat technique facilitates improving brain-wave activity into a more organized, coherent and synchronized pattern. In other words, long term use of binaural beats induces healthier brain waves and reverses the vibratory patterns indicative of mental disabilities.

Research has shown the proper use of the binaural beat technique can result in a variety of positive effects including accelerated learning abilities, reduction of pain and enhanced immune system functions. Electroencephalogram (EEG) research has shown that the binaural beat technique must incorporate existing brain-wave patterns. The proper techniques produce expanded higher-order brain wave patterns out of which expanded states of consciousness emerge. Because Metatones uses the vibrations of the human voice it incorporates the vibrational patterns of the brain.

High Alternating Frequencies - Above 8,000 Hertz

Alfred Tomatis, M.D. (www.tomatis.com) is another famous alternative sound practitioner. There are over 100 centers world wide that utilize his technique (the Tomatis Effect) to treat a variety of symptoms including deafness, various emotional disturbances, hypertension, ADD, ADHD, insomnia, speech defects, epilepsy, hyperactivity, dyslexia, autism, depression and many more. The research done by Tomatis resulted in the conclusion that the ear is the primary organ of consciousness. According to Tomatis the ear is the vehicle of a much larger and complex human process than previously believed that involves every cell in the body. The diagram of the human ear in a few pages documents this perspective by illustrating that all major organs of the body have meridians in the ear. Tomatis came to believe that the proper mix of sounds provides nourishment for the entire body in the form of electroneural stimulation to the brain. The long time success of the Tomatis sound therapy demonstrates that this nourishment or energizing affect has many positive effects on the brain functions.

A portion of the Tomatis work included recording mother's voices at high frequency ranges above 8,000 hertz. Tomatis would then play the recordings back to children with disabilities such as autism, dyslexia and hyperactivity. Noticeable immediate improvements in learning abilities and behavior patterns resulted. Tomatis developed and refined his techniques into a recording process called the "electronic ear". This technology switches between high and low frequencies. He found that the use of high frequencies enhanced the benefits of the sound therapy, including a noticeable whole-body healing and energizing effect plus a jump in overall mental abilities. We believe that this energizing "Tomatis Effect" is an increase in the exchange of energy and information with the zero point field. Consistent with our previous discussions, the increase in beneficial energetic flow is obtained by improving the level of vibratory synchronization between the zero point filed and the human energy field. These conclusions seem rudimentary in light of documented research that shows many positive effects from the Tomatis Effect including increased mental capacity, accelerated learning abilities, improvement in memory, enhanced concentration, weight loss, improvement in the ability to relax, overall reduction of stress and many other benefits.

Subsequent to the alternative sound therapy breakthroughs of Robert Monroe and Alfred Tomatis, M.D. many others have expanded, altered and refined the basic techniques that these gentlemen discovered. Although there are several sources available on Monroe, Tomatis and others, we referred to Michael Hutchinson's book Mega Brain Power for the information included within. In summary, at the heart of many of the best alternative sound technologies are the following four components:

1) Binaural beats
2) High frequencies - above 8,000 hertz
3) Alternating between high and low frequencies
4) The human voice

These techniques represent proven elements of the most successful alternative sound therapies. In addition, we suggest that all of the documented successes of these and other alternative sound therapies are based on the principle of resonance. Metatones incorporates all of these successful techniques plus a few new technologies that the Metatron team has invented and discovered over the years. The two most significant additions and discoveries are the Metatones keynote theory and the common vibratory formula to the human energy field, both of which have their foundations in the principles of basic physics. In the final analysis, in comparison to other effective sound technologies we suggest that the Metatones sound therapy is the easiest to use, least expensive, most potent and overall most effective.
