Ruach Elohim "the word 'Ruach' cannot be construed as a person. It is a force. It is invisible and like wind, because it can be felt or experienced, but not seen. It is the breath of God which disperses His life-force, His energy and His intentions/mind." - Hebrew Roots Click On To Discover More

Chi "Chi, like pneuma, is translated as "breath," "energy," "ether" or "material force," but is better rendered as "matter-energy." - A New Day Click On To Discover More

Vishwa Prana "The most ancient spiritual text of India, the Rig Veda, has some interesting things to say about the breath. In the great Hymn of Creation (10:129:2) it says of the Absolute: "That One Thing, breathless, breathed by its own nature." - Abbot George Burke (Swami Nirmalananda Giri) Click On To Discover More

Pneuma "The Stoics identified this world-soul with God or Zeus. One source described God as an intelligent, artistic fire that systematically creates the cosmos as it expands; in the same passage God is called a pneuma that pervades the whole cosmos as the human soul pervades the mortal body." - Scott Rubarth Click On To Discover More

Damaru of Shiva "According to Hindu mythology, Shiva is the lord of the cosmic dance and the cosmic sound of AUM, from which the entire universe in generated. Shiva is often depicted with an "hourglass drum" or damaru, which provides the music for the dance, and symbolizes the act of the creation of the universe through sound." - Michael Drake Click On To Discover More

Shabda Brahma "The whole macro cosmic universe is a projection of sound vibrations. From that sound the whole world has evolved. In the Bible there is the reference: “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God.” This word is called the nada or the shabda.." - Desh Kapoor Click On To Discover More

Vaikhari "The fourth and gross stage of nada is called vaikhari. Vaikhari sound is audible and producible. The spoken sound is vaikhari. It is produced by friction or by striking two things against each other. Its frequencies of vibration are conducted within a certain limited range." - Desh Kapoor Click On To Discover More

Pashyanti "The second stage of sound, which has less frequency and is more gross than para, is pashyanti. It is a sound which cannot be heard, but it can be seen. Pashyanti in Sanskrit means ‘that which can be seen or visualized’. The ancient scriptures maintain that sound can also be perceived. How does one see a sound? Well, have you ever heard a piece of music in a dream?" - Desh Kapoor Click On To Discover More

Madhyama "A form of sound having lower frequencies than para and pashyanti, but still subtler than the audible vaikhari form of sound, is known as madhyama. It is a sound produced in whispering." - Desh Kapoor Click On To Discover More

Brianwaves "There are 4 basic brain wave frequencies and each correlates with a specific state of consciousness. Like sound frequencies, brain waves are measured in Hz, or cycles per second." - Linda Gabriel Click On To Discover More

Om "And when you have pronounced this properly, all vowel sounds are in that pronunciation: "Aum." And consonants are regarded simply as interruptions of "Aum," and all words are thus fragments of "Aum," as all images are fragments of the form of forms, of which all things are just reflections." - Joseph Campbell Click On To Discover More

Lakshmi "Symbolically she represents all the supreme qualities, and powers of God. She is the splendor, radiance and abundance that flows from the Divine. All the positive qualities that you may find in the universe emanate from her." - Jayaram V Click On To Discover More

Flower of Life "This structure forms the basis for music, as the distances between the spheres is identical to the distances between the tones and the half tones in music. It is also identical to the cellular structure of the third embryonic division." - Andrew Monkman Click On To Discover More

Color "If light is a wave, then it must have a frequency right? Well, yes it does, and it turns out we already have a name for the frequency of light our eyes detect, called "color." - Colm Kelleher Click On To Discover More

Creation of Atom "This part can be defined as "The Big Bang." We don't know at all what happened here. At this point our tools break down. Natural Laws stop making sense, time itself becomes wibbley wobbley." - Kurzgesagt Click On To Discover More

Dharma Wheel "The Buddha was the one who "turned the wheel of the dharma" and thus the wheel symbol is the Dharmachakra, or "wheel of law." The Tibetan term for this symbol, **chos kyi'khor lo, means "the wheel of transformation.." - Nitin Kumar Click On To Discover More

String Theory "String theory posits that vibration translates into energy—the higher the frequency, the greater the energy. Energy, Einstein has already explained, translates into matter—as in E=mc2. So, using the speed of light as the exchange rate, these vibrations generate particles of matter." - Tzvi Freeman Click On To Discover More

Sound "Everything and every one of us is made of energy that is vibrating. When things vibrate they create sound waves which we hear as sounds, words, and music. Music can literally be the language of the Universe." - Gary Lite Click On To Discover More

Octaves and Elements "In music, there are triads and octaves. A triad is a chord consisting of three notes, each three notes apart on the musical scale. An octave is the same note, but a different pitch, for example, low C, middle C, and high C. In the 1800s, two scientists came up the chemistry versions of triads and octaves, but they don't have anything to do with musical notes. What's similar to the musical version is the spaces between the elements involved in triads and octaves." - Study.com Click On To Discover More

Archeometer "The Archeometre is a universal canon (guide), which wants to point the relationship out between the astrological indications, tones, smells, letters and colors. The musician finds therein the color of tones, the writer the tone character of letter etc. The Archeometre is to also point practical use out that the religions, arts and architecture a synthesis from different ranges to form." - Encyclopedia Britanica 1911 Click On To Discover More

Dove "The dove of love and peace is also the symbol of the soul in India." - Polly Schofield Click On To Discover More

Music of the Spheres "Musica universalis (literally universal music), also called Music of the spheres or Harmony of the Spheres, is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies—the Sun, Moon, and planets—as a form of musica (the Medieval Latin term for music). This "music" is not usually thought to be literally audible, but a harmonic, mathematical or religious concept." - Pythagoras Click On To Discover More

Chakras "Mantra” is a Sanskrit word made up of two syllables: ”man" (mind) and ”tra” (liberate). Thus in its most literal translation the word ”Mantra” means ”to liberate one’s mind”. In Sanskrit a ”seed” is called ”Bija.” The word ”Mantra” when translated by virtue of its practical use relates to a sound that can ”create transformation.” - Sohini Trehan Click On To Discover More

Buddha and Silence "When Buddha got enlightened on the full moon day in the month of May, he kept silent. For a whole week he did not say a word. Mythology says that all the angels in the heaven got frightened and said, "Once in a millennium someone blossoms so fully like Buddha. Now he is silent, is not saying a word!" It is said all the angels approached Buddha and asked him to say something, please speak something. Buddha said, "Those who know, they know, even without my saying, and those who do not know, they will not know by my words." - artofliving.org Click On To Discover More

Cymatics "Cymatics, from Greek:, meaning "wave", is a subset of modal vibrational phenomena. The term was coined by Hans Jenny (1904-1972), a Swiss follower of the philosophical school known as anthroposophy. " - Wikipedia Click On To Discover More

Hamsa Bird "The hamsa laid a golden egg on the waters. (This is the same role taken by the goose in ancient Egypt.) From that egg sprang the god Brahma, the Creator. In the Upanishads, the hamsa is said to possess the sacred knowledge of Brahma. Therefore, it symbolizes the elevation of the unformed toward the Heaven of Knowledge." - Justin Swanstroöm Click On To Discover More

Vowels "The tradition of chanting vowels is very ancient. As Melanie Braun writes in her article on the mystical implications of vowel intonations, “in ancient Egypt, the laws of music were even engraved on the temple walls. The Egyptians took the seven vowels from the Oriental languages and used them as musical characters." - Maria Danova Click On To Discover More

Ek Onkar "There is but one God. Truth by name, the creator, all-pervading spirit, without fear, without enmity. Whose existence is unaffected by time, who does not take birth, self-existent, who is to be realized through his grace." - Sikh Holy Book/symboldictionary.net Click On To Discover More

Sefer Yetzirah: Book of Formation "The Sefer Yetzirah, which means "Book of Formation,” is a short book about the theories of ma’aseh bereshit, the mystical account of the creation of the universe. [[{...} Basing its speculations on theories that had long been discussed by kabbalists, the book argues that God created the world with thirty-two secret paths of wisdom. These paths of wisdom are composed of the ten sefirot and the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet." - SparkNote on The Kaballah Click On To Discover More

Seven String Lyre "The Egyptians confined their sacred songs to the seven primary sounds, forbidding any others to be uttered in their temples. One of their hymns contained the following invocation: "The seven sounding tones praise Thee, the Great God, the ceaseless working Father of the whole universe." In another the Deity describes Himself thus: "I am the great indestructible lyre of the whole world, attuning the songs of the heavens." - Manly P. Hall Click On To Discover More

Ein Sof "Ein Sof, or Eyn Sof, Hebrew: in Kabbalah, is understood as God prior to any self-manifestation in the production of any spiritual realm, probably derived from Ibn Gabirol's term, "the Endless One" (she-en lo tiklah). Ein Sof may be translated as "unending", "(there is) no end", or infinity.[" - Wikipedia Click On To Discover More
