Golden Ratios Dr. James Hopkins Pythagorean Harmonic Healing with the Pythagorean Monochord As a result of independent research on the life and teachings of Pythagoras, Dr. James B. Hopkins was inspired to comission a series of unique musical instruments for healing purposes. Pythagoras who lived 500 BC is credited with being the father of mathematics, the inventor of geometry, and the father of music. He was the first to calculate accurately the mathematical relationships between the musical scales, the harmonic ratios, and the overtone series. Pythagoras was the first person to prescribe harmonic frequencies and music to treat human conditions. He invented instruments and with the use of sound and vibration he was able to bring an individuals attention and awareness to their Divine Nature in order to facilitate healing. About the Pythagorean Monochord This Divinely Inspired Instrument is 7 feet long and has 117 strings. When all the strings are tuned to precise frequencies, the Instrument generates infinite harmonic overtone ratios. These frequencies emanate organically and combine mathematically to create exquisite cosmic symphonic orchestrations that unfold geometrically. I call them "audible fractals". Within these pure harmonic overtone series you will hear fathomless galactic choirs and instruments unimagined. The Harmonic Proportions are to sound as the Golden Ratio is to structure- both of which are attributed to Pythagoras 569 BC. When you listen to this recording, it is hard to believe that it is entirely acoustic! There are no synthesizers, no computer enhancements, and no special effects. I use only my fingers on the strings which are attached to a wooden resonant chamber (like a giant guitar or a massive cello) The Instrument is designed to be played while a human being is lying on top the chamber so that your body is bathed in these Sublime Harmonic Frequencies. Even more difficult to believe is that all the strings are tuned to only two notes. (D&A) This Phenomena is known as the Lambdoma Sequence. "I purchased your CD and have had amazing & incredible results from playing it. I have had joint pain for more than 5 years that has traveled around in my body. It feels like nerve pain. Since January 2007, it has been in the joints of my left side of my body with the pain in my ankle being the most severe. Sometimes the pain shoots from my ankle up the left side of my body. I was unable to walk or stand while traveling to the conference. Within one hour of being at the conference, the pain was completely gone. I think this was primarily due to the vibrations present at the conference. I have become increasingly aware over the past year of being able to feel vibrations in my body. As soon as the conference was over the pain began to return. I should probably say that while narcotic pain killers, muscle relaxants, tranquilizers, and non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs provide some relief, they do not completely make it go away and this is not a route I choose to take it there is any alternative. Since returning from the conference, my use of pain relief medication has decreased by more than 75%. I listen to your CD almost every day at least once. On these days, I am Pain FREE!!"
