Using Sound to Facilitate Rest

This is something I use to help other people, generally, when I was using them more, back then. I have not got a big enough office here to have the seven big bowls that we have, the coloured ones, there is not enough room. So I have just got one smaller one that I occasionally use if I want to help someone focus, or in meditation. If you engage the sound, it can bring you into a place where you are at rest. So I do use it that way occasionally, but I have never really used it particularly for myself. It depends entirely really on what people need.

Intention Carried Through Sound

So I could use it to release a healing frequency. Again, it is my intention. When I play the sound, the sound carries my intention. If my intention is for you to experience peace or rest or joy or love or healing, then my intention is carried. And if you receive that intention and agree with it, and come into agreement for whatever it is I am releasing, then that begins to engage and touch you. You can use it in meditation just to focus your thinking and your mind on the sound, or you can use breathing techniques alongside it or independently of it, just to actually get your mind focused.

A lot of people struggle getting their mind to stop going round and round and round and thinking of things all the time. When it comes to meditation, you are fixing your thoughts on God to engage with God, and if there are lots of other thoughts going around, it can make it really quite difficult. So sometimes breaking the thought patterns that we have with a sound, so that we focus our thoughts on the sound, or even with breathing, slowly breathing in and breathing out very deeply and very slowly, can just get our mind off our thinking. Some people’s minds are like washing machines that just go round and round. They just cannot turn it off. They cannot come to a place of rest.

Helping Focus and Engagement

Sometimes people need something to distract them and to focus their thinking so that meditation becomes easier for them and engaging God becomes easier. I have used it in lots of different ways, and I have used it in activations. It is not as easy in an activation when you are on the other end of a computer and a microphone. Sometimes you do not feel quite the same as what I am feeling if I am playing it in the room, but my intention is the same. Sometimes it can be quite distorted when you are trying to record it, which is not always the best.

I have used it in groups of people to focus a healing intention so that they would receive healing. When I first started using the bowls, we had a group of people who were interested to try them out, and we just practised intention. We went around the room and each person would play the bowl. I showed how to do it, and then I encouraged each person to focus their intention on a word and then play the bowl and release the word through the bowl. The rest of us would just receive what word they released.

Different Responses to Sound

It really was quite amazing. One person got every single word spot on. Others got the impression of the word. So if the word was peace, some people would feel calm, some would feel different words describing a peaceful rest, or other words they felt the intention in a way that they related to with a particular word. Some would say tranquil, others would say restful, but most people got it. So then we started to use that in helping people, releasing those sounds over people.

But some people might find it helpful and some people might find it distracting. The first time I played it to someone, one person said, “That is really piercing,” because it was hitting against something in their mind, so it felt quite uncomfortable. Another person said, “Wow, that is amazing.” Not everyone experiences the sound or the frequency or the intention in the same way. Sometimes it made the recordings quite difficult to hear what was going on, so I do not do it that often now in recordings.

396. Finding Balance: Spirit, Soul and Body in Union

Mike Parsons

It’s an interesting thing when you look at the Merkabah, the energy gates, the Sephiroth and the Tree of Life, and how they all relate to spirit, soul and body being fully in union and oneness. It’s not about being pulled one way or the other. I think being out of balance is where the soul is in control and starts taking energy, applying it for its own ends. You could call that a DIY perspective.

God’s built certain basic needs into us—needs He wants to meet, things He wants to provide. But when we’re not looking to Him, we start looking to other people to meet those needs. That’s when we start drawing from them instead of from God, which is out of balance. When the soul is dominant, it can even draw on the energy of the spirit to outwork its own humanistic perspective.

Spirit – Soul Balance

When spirit and soul are balanced, they’re not in tension or pulling against each other; they’re in relationship. Within the body, they work together. Then, when you look at someone else, you’re not looking at them from a selfish or physical perspective. Instead, you see their beauty—that is, who God created them to be. And that beauty could be physical, spiritual, emotional or about their character. There are so many aspects to it.

God wants it all balanced so that spirit and soul are in harmony, not competing. When they’re in balance, the energy flowing between them isn’t corrupted or perverted. It’s not being drawn off independently of our relationship with God. Beauty then becomes about seeing people the way God sees them, not based on what they can do for us or just their physical appearance.

Seeing People Through God’s Lens

When we’re in a balanced place, we can see people as God sees them—looking at their whole being, their aura, even the energy around them. It’s about honouring the person for who they are, who God made them to be. That includes encouraging them, nurturing them, helping meet their needs and seeing beyond the physical.

God meets our five core needs—purpose, security, significance, love and acceptance. But as sons of God, we can also encourage others in their purpose, give them security in our relationships with them, affirm their significance, love them unconditionally and accept them as they are.

A Kingdom Culture

So many people, especially women, feel pressure to look a certain way to gain acceptance. Some even go to extremes, like plastic surgery, to meet those expectations. But in the kingdom, we need a different culture—one where we see beyond the physical to the spirit and soul. We need to demonstrate what it means to honour people for who they really are.

This is where the energies within us—living water from our innermost being—come into play. Spirit and soul need to be in harmony and balance. If they’re off-balance, whether spiritually or emotionally, it affects how we live. You can’t be so spiritually focused that there’s no practical outworking in everyday life. Heavenly things need to be demonstrated on earth—“on earth as it is in heaven.”

Living in Oneness

When spirit, soul and body are in union and harmony, we have the energy we need to be ourselves. That balance comes through renewing our minds, healing our hearts and focusing our energy with the right motive—one of union and oneness with God. It’s about doing things from that balanced perspective, not from a soul-driven or selfish motivation.

When we’re balanced, we can look at someone and see the whole person—their frequency, their aura, their being—and honour who God created them to be. We can bless them with our attitude and approach, seeing them with love and respect. It’s about recognising the beauty and wholeness of the person, just as God intended.
