Prayer and Synchronicity

Recently, I was speaking with a friend whose wife had just had surgery.

He told me the folliwng story which stopped me in my tracks. It is about the power of prayer and the healing that can bring:

My wife was about to have surgery, it was a all of a sudden but we knew this could happen. Just a few days before the event, I decided I would think of my mother and ask her for help at this time of need.

Her answer was a message. My mother's family was born in Swansea, Wales. We used to watch TV together when I was a child as you might expect. One of those shows was the now world famous sci-fi TV series Doctor Who. This show is largely made in Wales.

I stayed in a hotel across the road from the hospital. On the first day I walked from the hotel to the hospital to visit, I came upon a car parked in the driveway directly across from the hospital. The number plate of the car read:

1 DR WHO

A smile came across my face and I knew that my mother was watching. This is a true story. That car was there every day my wife was in hospital. On the last day she was there, I saw what I assume was the owner of the vehicle, getting into the car. I stopped and hesitated and thought who could it be? He looked like my grandfather from Wales, short, stocky, typical body type from that part of the world.

In that moment, I decided I could not approach and ask. I do not know why but I felt compelled to keep walking back to the hotel. I turned around to see where the car was going. That was the last time I saw that car. My wife was discharged the next day.

I cannot begin to explain why this happened but it did. My father although not an overtly religious man, always lit two candles every Friday for his parents. I feel sure now, that I will definitely pray more to my parents for I know they are listening.

Gastric Band Weight Loss Hypnosis CD

I have had my doubts about listening to a CD and expecting the CD to make any difference to my weight but reading some of the reviews, it is like anything that any person might try i.e. if it works for you than good. So, it is not a drug which I do not like, it is not exercise which is not really possible under most circumstances, it is listening to someone help me believe that I can eat less.

So, what harm can it do? Well, as with most weight loss programs, everyone has to tune the program to their specific need and mode of lifestyle but the message is the same - you HAVE to stick with it and see the course. At 12.99, it is way cheaper than visiting a gym which I personally loathe and if it helps me lose any weight and keep it off, then it is well worth it. The Portal of Healing.

Forgotten In Time: The Ancient Solfeggio Frequencies

Forgotten In Time: The Ancient Solfeggio Frequencies

"These original sound frequencies were apparently used in Ancient Gregorian Chants, such as the great hymn to St. John the Baptist, along with others that church authorities say were lost centuries ago. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings when sung in harmony during religious masses."

The Six Solfeggio Frequencies include:

UT – 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
RE – 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
MI – 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
FA – 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
SOL – 741 Hz – Awakening Intuition
LA – 852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order

Whatever you believe about music, sound, frequency and it's effect on humans, Solfeggio Tones is a very important subject and one that I am just coming to, from a point of a trained musician and composer, sound producer and more. My original training dealt with different tuning methodologies including Werckmeister, Pythagorean and Quarter Comma Mean Tone not to mention the 12 note system developed by composers such as Schoenberg, Berg and Webern.


Why the Solfeggio Tones were lost to us or not taught is a mystery but I would say it is a known fact that the Catholic church as it was then, was quite instrumental in controlling what intervals a Monk or composer could use in their work. This would lead to various tuning systems being used and it was not until J.S. Bach and The Well Tempered Klavier, that a more 'standardised' system of tuning came into being.


By this time, I assume that the use of Solfeggio Tones in mainstream music, like the old 'harmonic series' did later on, became somewhat irrelevant since most composers, musicians and most importantly, instrument makers had adopted equal temperament as the standard for tuning.


But Solfeggio tones are not just about a tuning system. They are about their impact on the human body and more importantly, the human spirit. I have said it several times in other blog postings - Music is a force that cannot be underestimated and if the use and practice of Solfeggio tones can help some one in some way, then I am all for that and I encourage people to seek out music in their lives and let music enrich their spirit.

Keeping older drivers on the road

Keeping older drivers on the road

"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.
"What we are doing is to look at ways of keeping people driving safely for longer, which in turn boosts independence and keeps us socially connected."

This is vitally important research and we must all do as much as we can to encourage the research and any implementations that are suitable. Getting older should not be a crime and driving is a very important part of our life and how we can stay a little more independent.

I need a charger for my old IBM Thinkpad and I found this to my surprise on Amazon. So, I will give this a go for the laptop is still useful for messing around with things and messing things up. If it does not work out, then I am not going to be so bothered about it.

Right now, the laptop is just sitting there and doing nothing. At least this way, if the adapter works, then it will be a result, if not, then someone else can have the pleasure of breaking it for spares.

Fabrice Muamba - a miracle man

Having just read this article on how Fabrice Muamba was clinically dead for some 78 minutes and is now alive and making a recovery, I moved to ask the question, how?

How is is possible for a man, albeit a young fit footballer who was playing at full tilt, to have a full on heart attack and not have a heart beat for 78 minutes and not only live, but live to tell the tale?

I am not sure but there is one thing that lady luck bestowed upon Fabrice that day - the skill of at least one very determined expert in cardiology and the skill of those who first attended Fabrice on the pitch. If anyone was in doubt about the power and effectiveness of CPR, heart massage, mouth to mouth resuscitation call it what you will, there can be no doubt that a combination of CPR, drugs and the expertise of the London Chest Hospital truly saved his life.

I am also moved by the spirit of the crowd that day, who collectively began to chant 'Fabrice' from the stands. Maybe it was their power as well which gave Fabrice the will to live. It is a nice thought.

Whatever the case is, if you or anyone you know, has been thinking about doing some form of CPR training and put it off for one reason or another, then here is a good news story where it worked. Let this story be your motivation to get the training, for one day, it will save a life.
