Music, Rhythm and… Dance
In a previous article, I wrote about the pleasure of listening to music and how changing the frequency can affect our experience. What is music for us? Why do we look for rhythm? Why do we like to dance?
I lived in a flat with my son and my parents, for a few years. The building was located in a suburb of the city, and it was common for music to be played loudly from some of the apartments. Whenever my son heard the music, he would start dancing, regardless of who was watching or how many people were around. He didn’t care if people looked at him or laughed at him; all that mattered was the music that moved him.
But even though we all love music, our tastes can differ greatly. What I enjoy listening to may not be to your liking, and vice versa. And that’s perfectly natural…
What is music?
Music is the language of the soul. It stirs in us, not the instincts, but the deepest thoughts.
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN
Paganini called it “the most subtle form of material movement”.
Emotion
All that exists is energy vibrating at a certain frequency.
DAVID ICKE
Our emotions are characterized by their own vibrational frequency, and when we fail to express them, they disturb our inner harmony, resulting in chaos and disharmony. Over time, suppressing our emotions can lead to emotional buildup, like a pressure cooker.
Dr. Masaru Emoto’s experiments have shown that sounds can transform the matter of their vibration. For instance, the shapes of water crystals photographed in those experiments vary depending on the words that reach them. Similarly, sand placed on a plate takes on different shapes when subjected to the vibration of different sounds. Cymatics films demonstrate how materials transform into different forms when exposed to the vibration of sounds.
Why rhythm and dance?
Disorder produced by a lack of rhythm of history can create chaos, storms, and disharmony in human society, much like a tuning fork, that scatters lycopodium powder on a blade when incorrectly fixed. See how rhythmically nature repeats the succession of seasons.

Music means harmony and rhythm. Rhythm is an essential element of both the universe and music. It is a binder that maintains balance. Anything in excess can lead to spoiling, deforming, and destroying harmony. Therefore, it is the rhythm that makes the balance exist. Our thoughts and emotions can disrupt the body’s balance, resulting in chaos, disharmony, and illness.
Sounds can negatively or positively impact the body through vibration, depending on their frequencies. Their normal frequency is known to be between 20 to 20,000Hz. Music can release pain-relieving endorphins, says Professor Dr James Hurtak while sacred music creates energy vortices and energetic pulses that encompass the entire body. The “KIAI” battle sound of Japanese warriors uttered as trained samurai “chills your blood,” says David Icke. Sounds with very low frequencies of cycles per second (20–30 Hz) can kill a human. They produce a reduction in blood pressure and partial paralysis of the listener. High-intensity sounds above 150 decibels can rupture the eardrums, while sounds above 185 dB can damage internal organs and cause death by damaging internal organs or even causing the lungs to explode.
As humans, we are emotional beings. Emotion fluctuates, and we seek harmony, variation, and novelty, and we strive to synchronize our rhythm with the universe and music. We dislike routine and boredom because they generate disharmony, and quarrels can also result from a lack of harmony. The frustrations and disappointments of intimate relationships are all expressions of rhythms that are out of sync. The loss of connection with the tradition of music and dance in public gatherings expresses the frenzy and alienation of our societies, according to Dr. Stephen Rechtschaffen.
However, the power of sounds activates our DNA, a fact known since ancient times. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras called music sacred geometry and prescribed it as medicine because sounds were used to heal the body. At the same time, the vibration of music was used to open the portals of time and other dimensions, says Patricia Cori. Shamans use music in their ceremonies even today.
The ancient knowledge is demonstrated nowadays by NASA using huge amounts of money. Have certain rules been established in vain about the kind of music that must reach people’s ears and souls? The answer is given by Patricia Cori in Universe of the Soul, which is that the power elite master control of sound and abuse this knowledge to keep people under their control.
Schopenhauer believed that music had the power to influence our emotions. He said the adage in A-flat expressed the greatest pain and became a heart-rending lamentation. On the other hand, flat dance music expressed the disappointment of mediocre happiness. Noble harmonies, however, cleansed the soul, elevating our thoughts and making us feel better about ourselves.
The sounds of music and dance have a profound effect on us. They reveal our rhythm, and the more chaotic the music or dance, the greater the discrepancy between our rhythms. When we feel anger, we tend to listen to loud music, while slow, romantic music sets the mood for love and intimacy. As Plato once said, all love songs are but a chapter of the pathology of the soul (Arthur Schopenhauer). However, we all love listening to music, and the higher and more joyful its vibration is, the more we want to move, to dance even if we are alone, and the happier we are.
However, music and dance are still integral to community gatherings. The different rhythms reflect differences in culture, says Dr Stephen Rechtschaffen, who mentions neighbouring tribes in Africa.
Rhythm defines us and dance, which remains one of the forms of human expression, setting emotions in motion. Whether there are two, or they dance in groups, they have the same rhythm, which will reflect the harmony of emotions. The dance thus becomes the synchronization of the music with the body movement.
In a way, we are music, we seek harmony, and we need rhythm. When we find the rhythm we were looking for, we become our own masters, says Dr. Stephen Rechtschaffen. When we find our rhythm, we dance the dance of life in a way we like it…
