November 10, 2010 Meeting

Discussion:

We’re in the last stretch. November 10 was our 2nd to the last meeting. We have one more meeting (11/17/10), and the final week of tones we’re on our own. We will take a break from Primal, and jump into Celestial the week following Thanksgiving. (12/01/2010).

Discussion:

All in all, the discussion was very short. We had a discussion regarding territorialism which was pretty interesting.

I don’t know how I feel anymore.

I like doing the tones. All of them have been enjoyable.

I’ve liked all the tones. I haven’t enjoyed the canker sores, hemorrhoids etc. that hve been going on. They heal, and tehn others erupt. I do a lot of juicing, have for years.

Sounds like everyone’s doing well. We’ll move on then. I’ll share parts of it with you. It’s part of the book that I’m working on. Part of what was discussed has been posted to the blog (pictures of chakra centers). These pictures are not like mine, but similar. Kathryn made copies from handout given to he from Marsha. It depicts the variety of cones, but not the number of cones. It shows how the information comes in, goes into the spinal column. The spinal column goes from the crown to the root into the root chakra and spreads out. From the spinal column, the tone goes out into the rest of the body: into the organs. i.e. : chest: the information goes into it, into the central nervous system and into that general area. Not necessarily to the rest of the body. This drawing does not show that from the root chakra, there are more chakra points. The chakras merge. If you draw them in, you can see how they overlap and run together. You may be working on the heart, but on the throat as well.

The tougher part of the chakras is in the picture of the 7 major chakras w/ the chord/ note that is assigned to each chakra. This handout will help you understand which chakra you’ve been working on once you learn the tones. Only the 7 major chakras were on the picture. Not on the arms and legs. We can spread them if we’d like.

*Root Chakra also in the foot : note of C
* Sacral also in the ankle: note of D
* Solar Plexus also in the calf: note of E
Etc…

The root can also become the Crown. This is where things become confusing. You would have a possibility of B and C chord in the same area (Root chakra). If you’re listening to 1, and someone else is listening to tone 2, both may be working on the root chakra w/ a different chord. Yet another person may be listening to tone 6 which is a G chord. What will that do?, What is happening? 1 is working on one sound, another is working on another, a third is working on a third. Each person is getting what they need. Because the root, crown and throat all overlap, all 3 chakras are being worked on. This is just the first 5 minutes of the first tone. The vibration moves through your spinal cord clearing just those areas. This illustration is very elementary. This will help you know what you’re doing in the houses when we move on to Celestial. This will help you understand which house and chord you are working in/ on and then you can choose which tone you need to focus on healing a specific area. Even when you go to a symphony, or listen to classical music, you can decide which key you want to listen to music. It may be handy to know which house, wheel you are working on and which tone you need to focus on to heal various areas. This handout is just the primary 7. The chakra centers are on the arms and legs as well.

A chart was handed out. The chart is incomplete, but depicts the 12 chakras, the notes each chakra is assigned to. A great deal of detail was put into discussing the chart, but without the visual, it doesn’t make sense to write it down. This was not part of the packet handed out to include in the blog. If you were not in class on 11/10/10, you may want to discuss the getting a copy of the chart with Chase. The chart is very informative, but it is incomplete as it covers material that will be covered in Celestial.

The universe once shared that Gurus are only given 3 solid, full new contextual books. The gurus write only 3 books, and each book thereafter is based on the initial 3. Bits and pieces are being given to the various gurus.

The final part of the book involves Sound, Color, Chakras and Vibration. An example is given of the first tone, what and why you are getting out of it. This is the section which is placed on the Blog. Chase read through it. Rather than reading, and re-writing it, it’s been copied below. !!! Please respect privacy on the portion from this book. Please keep it between us, and do not share it with people outside of our group!!! (note from Cara)

Sound, Color, Chakras, Vibration

Each chakra has a color, sound and vibration.  When certain cords for specific areas of the body are in harmony one is well.  When there is an imbalance illness and dis-ease can and often will occur.  We humans have programmed ourselves to become ill and transition.  Normally the body is broken down by systems.  In this paradigm or model we will use the chakra areas and develop a healing component via sound, color, and vibrations. 

Here is an example of how a set of cords would be reflected in the body. 

The cord F reflects the heart.  The heart area of the body holds within all of the chest area.  This area would include all parts that are within the chest area of the body.

1.  The heart,
2.  Skeletal, (to include the rib cage, floating ribs and costal cartilage,    sternum, sections of the spine, and articular system),
3. Lungs
4. Sections of the Digestive system (sections that flow through the chest area)
5. Muscular system within the chest area.
6. Circulatory system (different yet included with the heart
7. Nervous system within the chest area
8. Skin system
9. Basically everything within the area from the bottom of the neck to just below the rib cage.                   

Sample:

Tone #1

F (sharp)

C

D (flat)

B (minor)

Heart and throat:  Here the F sharp is employed.  By adding the sharp to the F, this formula it incorporates enharmonically equivalent to G flat in addition to F cord, which will include the throat chakra area.  Therefore, for the first 5 minutes this cord will work with the entire heart/chest area and the throat area.

Root:  The next 5 minutes is the cord of C natural.  This cord works primarily with the root chakra, which are the gonads and/or base of the spine.  Many would believe that the root chakra is only the gonads or groin area.   The ending or bottom of each hand and foot is also a root chakra.  So, the C natural operates within all the root chakra areas, the foot, the hand and the groin.

Sacral:  The third set of 5 minutes is working with the sacral area however, with a twist.  This set of 5 minutes employs the D flat.  The D cord encompasses the area located at the lower abdomen of the body.  When the flat is added it further includes the (C) enharmonic.  This then would include the root chakra of the body and as discussed above this includes the bottom of the feet, palm of the hands and the groin or bottom of the spine.    This is a much larger area then just the sacral area.  The combination of the cord with the flat is ½ step lower pitch cord from the D, which makes the area broadened. 

Crown:  The last 5 minutes is the crown and is the case for all the Tones of The Chase Carter Method, Tones for Healing.  The crown chakra represents the top of the head and is the connection point to the higher self and our spirituality.  It is the B minor consisting of the pitches B, C sharp, D E, F sharp, G and A.  The harmonic minor raises the A to A sharp.  It has a relative major, of D major, and its parallel major is B major.

The B minor is the last cord in all 12 tones, which bring the spirit into balance at the end of each healing session.  It further heals the mood or sensory feeling of melancholic (gentle complaint) or acceptance (surrender).

Particular emphases is placed here at this point of explanation as

the B minor plays an extremely important role in our lives and has a very important and major role in our healing process.

Friedrich Daniel Schubart (1739-1791), a Christian theorist, regarded B minor as a key expressing a quiet acceptance of fate and very gentle complaint, something commentators find to be in line with Bach’s use of the key in the St. John’s Passion. (Re-write) By Beethoven's time, however, the perception of B minor had changed considerably: Francesco Galeazzi wrote that B minor was not suitable for music in good taste, and Beethoven labelled a B minor melodic idea in one of his sketchbooks as a "black key".[3] In relation to the Baroque interpretation of the scale, the B minor chord also has a very melancholic and grieving feel to it, giving the feeling of suffering and gentle complaint. The chord was famously used as the first chord in Pink Floyd's 1979 hit "Comfortably Numb", commonly renowned to be a very emotional and melancholic song. The second movement of Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, one of the most famous compositions for the classical guitar, is in B minor.

It is a common key used in rock, folk, country and other guitarist-based styles because the standard tuning of a guitar causes all the open strings to be scale degrees of B minor.

With this bit of history it is no wonder that the B minor would be the cord or vibration for the top of the head to include the brain and the endocrine influence is on the pineal gland. 

The cerebrum makes up 85% of the brain’s weight, and it’s easy to see why.  The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls your voluntary muscles – the ones that move when you want them to.

It is the cerebellum that creates the balancing act for all individuals.  The cerebellum is 1/8 of the size of the cerebrum, but very important.  It controls balance movement, and coordination (how your muscles work together).  It is this organ that allows you to stand up right, keep your balance, and allows you to move around.

The brain stem is the system that keeps you breathing and more.  This organ has a huge responsibility to keep you alive.  The brain stem manages and is in control of all the functions your body needs and requires to stay alive such as breathing air, digesting your food, and even the circulation of the blood.  In addition to all of this it is also responsible for controlling your involuntary muscles.  Those are the muscles that work automatically.  There are several involuntary muscles that work without you even thinking about it or telling that organ to function. 

Two very important involuntary muscles are in the heart and digestive systems.  It is the brain stem that communicates to the heart and tells it to pump more or less blood to the body depending on your physical need.  You exercise you brain stem tells your heart to pump more blood to the body faster.  Further, it is the brain stem that informs the stomach to start digesting your lunch.

The pituitary gland controls your growth.  This gland is very tiny about the size of a grain of corn.  However, it has a very important function and is not to be taken for granted.  It has the responsibility to produce and release hormones into the body.  It is the pituitary gland that has a great deal of responsibility during puberty as well.  It is this special time in a young boy and girls life that the body slowly changes whereas they become men and women.  Yes, it is all thanks to the hormones released by the pituitary gland.

One of the other very important functions of the pituitary gland is to control the amount of water and sugars in your body.  It helps keep your metabolism going.  It is your metabolism that goes on in your body to keep it alive and growing and supplied with energy, such as breathing, digesting food, and moving your blood around.

Most everything has a thermostat to maintain and control the body temperature and so does our body.  It is the hypothalamus that has the responsibility of temperature control.  It has two very simple but important functions, to heat the body and to cool it off when needed.  If you are too hot the hypothalamus tells it to sweat.  Likewise if you are too cold the hypothalamus gets the body shivering.  In both cases shivering and sweating are the hypothalamus way of keeping your body’s temperature back to where it needs to be.

 

Here are a few of the well-know classical pieces in the key of B minor.

    * Violin Concerto No. 3 (Saint-Saens) - Camille Saint-Saens

    * Mass in B minor - Johann Sebastian Bach

    * Piano Sonata in B minor - Franz Liszt

    * Piano Sonata No. 3 in B Minor, Op. 58 - Frederic Chopin

    * Violin Concerto No. 2 in B Minor (La Campanella) - Niccolo Paganini

    * Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Op. 74 (Pathetique) - Pyotr Ilich Tchaikovsky

    * E lucevan le stelle from Tosca - Giacomo Puccini

    * Cello Concerto in B minor - Antonin Dvorak

If you listen any or all of the above you will hear the two variations referenced above, quiet acceptance (surrender) or the grieving feel to it, offering the feeling of suffering and gentle complaint.  Further, the B minor offers the two forces of good and evil if you will or choice with balance.  In many cartoons you see the good angle and the devil sitting on a characters shoulder.  This displays the conscious level of the soul, chi, or spirit.  This theory represents the duality of choices of how you feel and what you are feeling.  What choices do I make and how do they make me feel now and during the various stages of the process to completion, if there ever is a completion.
