Rhythm of Life

Medical science has confirmed that infants begin to responding to sounds around them long before they are born. Ilchi Lee suggests you to think about this. When you were developing in your mother’s womb, your ears were practically the only sensory organs taking in information. Your skin could sense the warmth of your mother’s body, but it was a consistent, unvarying temperature, and you were suspended in the amniotic fluid, an environment with very little variety of texture. Your eyes were closed to the dark interior of your mother’s body and your mouth had no food to taste.
You lived alone in a dark world where the unceasing rhythm of your mother’s heartbeat was your constant companion. This and the sounds of your parent’s voices were the first stimuli to create connections in your brain and the first to begin giving definition to your being. When you hear the sound of rhythmic drumming now, or when you follow the rhythmical movements of Brain Wave Vibration, Ilchi Lee says, you are transported back to a place of newness and simplicity.
Music is such a consistent part of the experience of life that you could say that rhythm is essential to life. Medieval scholars of Europe hypothesized that a great harmonic system, called “the music of the spheres,” kept the planets in their proper orbit and rotation. Likewise, they believed that an internal harmony existed within the human body. This may seem naive to the modern scientific mind, but on an intuitive level, there is great truth in that concept. Just stop and quiet yourself for a moment, and you will feel it. Ilchi Lee believes music really is a universal experience and the universal language.
