While earning my doctorate in holistic healing I took a class in vibrational healing.
Textbook was written by an MD on staff at Wayne State University Medical School.
I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical of some of the conclusions.
As well as some of the remedies suggested.**
I withheld judgment and passed the class with an A.
How ironic that not long after I found myself turning to the remedies which include Bach Flower Remedies to treat mysterious symptoms that were putting a serious kink in my life.
At this point I didn’t know what EMF Sensitivity was.
Fast forward a couple of decades and I find myself observing a fun side of the science of vibrations.
Quick break to tell folks about one of my favorite videos relating to vibrational frequencies.
Enter the Dragon
Our beardie is a pre-Covid buy but one who came just in the nick of time.
His name is Gyro
As I was the resident expert on reptiles I found myself happily front and center plucking him up and keeping an eye on him when it was time to clean the tank.
We had a Caymen alligator and a lizard when I was a kid – later had chameleons regular guests – much to the chagrin of my cat – in our home in Florida.
While my memories of these family pets from childhood are generally positive I wasn’t too thrilled when a different reptile paid a visit to my room in Florida one night.
I woke up because my cat was at the end of my bed playing with what turned out to be a snake. Fortunately it was a Garter and a small one at that.
Bearded Dragons have incredible personality.
- Gyro is drawn to deep voices
He will turn his head and get close to the glass nearest the direction the voice is coming from.
- Gyro loves to dance to 80s tunes preferring synth bands such as The Cars.
He’s also a huge fan of Queen.
- Gyro is startled by the color black
When I walk by the tank wearing a black sweater or t-shirt etc he will jump and eye the nearest exit.
- Gyro apparently knows who’s boss
If another family member tries to pick him up he struggles. Me? He freezes and doesn’t move.
I believe it stems from the vibrational frequency of my voice.
Though I generally talk to him very gently/assuringly and in low volume when I’m about to pluck him up there was a time the tone was not so sweet.
I came down one morning to find the front glass not secured and Gyro eyeing the exit. Panicked at the thought of having to chase a lizard when there is a cat in the house I yelled “Gyro NO!” He seemed to understand the tone and froze, remaining that way as I nudged him back into the tank he was half out of and shut and secured the glass.
Note: I later considered that while I was repeatedly shouting “NO!” all the peeps in my house slept through the chaos.
One said “Oh I heard you yelling…”
Gee thanks for the concern…
From that day forward Gyro reacts based on the volume/tone of my voice.
I’ve not had to shout at him since.
I generally get down to eye level and talk to him in a low tone I believe sends the message all is well.
I love how he cocks his head as if he’s trying to figure out what I’m saying.
I figure he uses the vibrations -voice tone/volume – as a way to gauge whether or not he needs to hide in the corner.
Just now I cleared my throat and he moved to the corner after which I assured him from across the room “It’s okay Gyro.”
As for kitty and Gyro? They’ve come to accept each other as evidenced by the fact many times I will come to see Nigel staring up at Gyro and he paying complete attention to the kitty – without fear.
They’ll sit like that for 30 minutes or more as if having some silent battle of Mother Nature wits.
Life as an adventure is the best.
** I was never skeptical of Bach Flower Essences as a healing modality. It was one of the first modalities the British ENT Surgeon I apprenticed with taught me.
