hello friends. welcome to YOQI. I'm Marisa and I'm pleased to guide you through the six healing
sounds. one of the greatest contributions of traditional Chinese medicine is understanding
how our emotions affect our health. we intuitively know that stress, anger, worry,
sadness, and fear don't feel good. and this is science. fear-based emotions stimulate the release
of toxic chemicals while love-based emotions stimulate the release of healing chemicals.
Qigong views the world in the language of energy and emotions are energy. they are a frequency that
is stored and recorded in your energy field. so, negative fear-based frequencies attract negative
energy while positive frequencies attract positive energy. thousands of years ago the ancient healers
looked to nature and they saw that humans and animals make specific sounds to release emotions
in different situations. they discovered that the vibration of certain sounds resonates with certain
organs in the body. so, we can use the sound to clear organs of negative emotions, like clearing
worry from the spleen, anger from the liver, fear from the kidneys, and sadness from the
lungs. so the six healing sounds is designed to transform negative emotions into positive virtues.
the six healing sounds dates back to the fourth century AD. it is recorded in the
"record of longevity and nourishing life" by dow hong. now today there are many different
interpretations and applications of the sounds. the method that we will
be using today incorporates specific postures with breath, intention, sound,
and light. the sound vibration is used to clear negative energy from the organ. this is purging.
while the light brings positive virtuous energy into the organs. this is tonifying.
so the six healing sounds is a purging and tonifying practice. it is a healing meditation.
before we get started, let's review the six healing sounds and their correspondences. the
six healing sounds correspond to the five-yin organs and the triple-warmer. the first organ
is the lungs, because this is the organ of release and letting go. the lungs are affected
by sadness and grief. their virtue is courage and righteousness and the colored light is white. the
sound for the lungs is like your going to say "sssnake". the next organ is the kidneys. the
kidneys are affected by fear and shock. their virtue is peace and tranquility and the color
is blue light. the kidneys sound is the sound is like rushing water or blowing out a candle. you
can try with me now. next is the liver. the liver is affected by anger and stress. the positive
virtue of the liver is kindness and generosity. so when we use the sound we can transform stress into
kindness and relaxation. the colored light for the liver is emerald green light and the sound is hu.
just like your hushing or calming a baby. the next sound is the heart sound. the
heart is the Emperor of all the emotions and is affected by hatred. its virtue is
love so when we use the sound, we can transform impatience, hatred,
and hastiness into love and joy. the color of the heart is red light and the sound is ha.
next is the spleen. the spleen carries the frequency of worry and doubt. when we use
the sound, we can transform these frequencies into trust and sincerity. the colour of the
spleen is golden yellow light and the sound is " ". this is a guttural sound so you
feel it coming from the spleen. now it's important that when you make the sounds,
that they are not just a vibration from your mouth, they're also an extension of the lungs
and vibrate in the organs. the last sound is the triple warmer. this is a special meridian
in traditional Chinese medicine that is very important to regulate your endocrine system
and to balance the energy in your body. the color is purple light and the sound is " ".
the six healing sounds can be done any time of day. every day it's great to use as a purging
method before other Qigong practices and it's recommended to use before bed. this will help
clear out any accumulated energy that you may have taken on throughout the day and
help to promote a good night's sleep. so are you ready to tap into your inner light? find
a comfortable spot preferably on a chair and join me let's move some Qi (energy).
