Having grown up with four cats I’ve always loved the sound of cats purring. Recently I found out that they had healing powers as well.
Cat’s purr within a range of 20 – 140 Hertz which, as the diagram below shows, can be beneficial to humans. Cat purring has been linked to a reduction in stress, heart disease and strengthening broken bones. Animal planet’s website even suggests that people with cats live longer than those without.
On a recent Healing Codes workshop a cd of cats purring was played throughout to invoke a deep sense of calm.
It enhanced the sense of wellbeing and deep healing that The Healing Codes bring by allowing us to reach the Gamma state, which occurs between 25 – 100 Hertz, 40 Hertz being typical in humans.
Benefits of the gamma frequency include:
Increased memory function and recall Increased sensory perception Better vision Sharper hearing Better sense of smell and taste Increased brain sensitivity leading to a better perception of reality Better focus Being able to process sensory information faster and more fully
In the gamma state our brain is able to process vast amounts of information very quickly, remember it, and retrieve it later. We are naturally happier, calmer and more at peace. Increased time in the gamma state is a wonderful anti-depressant, people suffering from depression often have low gamma activity.
Of course, you can’t let go of issues like depression without first finding the stress. Once found, you need to focus one universal love to let go of the issue. The Healing Codes work on the scientific principle that an energy frequency is changed when it is ‘hit’ by an opposite frequency. The energy frequency of universal love heals anything. This is where we came in. Our purring cats will heal us. True compassion comes from a feeling of oneness with the universe.
