Sound affects us in a variety of ways, impacting our physical, emotional, and mental health. Deepak Chopra says we “metabolize all of the sounds in our environment.” At any moment we can do a “sound check” on our environment and ask ourselves, “Are these sounds increasing or depleting my energy? How are they affecting my ability to focus and concentrate?” Sound does not exist without its counterparts, light and shape. This is evident when sound is applied to sand or water and geometric shapes appear that have color bands of light. Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The energy of an electromagnetic wave arrives in chunks consisting of little particles of light called photons. At the biological level, light is referred to as a biophoton. Sound is not visible, nor is it part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sound is a wave of pressure—a mechanical wave— and requires a medium such as air or water to propagate. The phonon is the amount of acoustic or vibrational energy. The biophonon (sound energy) sits aside the biophoton (light energy) as an element within our biological structures, so sound and light exist beside each other. Physicists tell us that sound creates the structure for the light to communicate. Danish scientists theorize that our nerves communicate through sound impulses, not electricity. In my view, sound precedes the electrochemical signaling within the body.
