What if sound could heal the mind and body? In this episode of The Expansion Room, host Shervon Laurice and guest Terrie Weaver, a scientist and trained sound healer, explore how vibration, frequency, and music can restore balance, reduce stress, and open the door to deep emotional healing.
Discover the neuroscience behind sound therapy, Tesla’s 3-6-9 frequency code, and the unified energy field explored in The 1 Field. From brainwave entrainment to soul resonance, this conversation bridges science, spirituality, and the art of vibrational healing.
Terrie Weaver is a Reiki Master and Sound Healer. She earned her Masters of Science from John's Hopkins University and spent her early career as a scientist and life science educator. After facing a serious health challenge that couldn't be solved by Western medicine, she turned to holistic health. This was a turning point in her life, and now she has dedicated her focus to helping others heal with sound, movement of energy, and connection to the Earth.
In the first segment of The Expansion Room, Shervon explores the intersection of science and spirituality through the practice of sound healing. She welcomes guest Terrie Weaver, a scientist-turned–sound healer and Reiki master, who shares her journey from biotechnology and medical research to holistic healing after personal health challenges. Together, they discuss how sound therapy uses vibration and frequency to restore balance in the body, support the nervous system, and enhance emotional and physical well-being.
In this segment, Terrie Weaver explains how frequencies such as 528 Hz and 963 Hz can support emotional balance, chakra alignment, and even deeper states of consciousness. Through sound baths, many people quickly enter theta brainwave states associated with meditation, intuitive insight, and deep physical relaxation. Shervon mentions that sound healing works by bringing the body’s cells into resonance with specific sound frequencies, much like metronomes eventually synchronizing when placed together
The third segment begins with, Terrie and Shervon discussing the experience of sound healing, where participants can receive physical and mental benefits regardless of whether they have visual experiences or fall asleep during the session. Terrie shares with us her experiences conducting sound healings and mentioned how people often report personal and varied experiences, including seeing colors or patterns, communicating with loved ones, or simply feeling a physical shift. Shervon recalles her first encounter with sound healing 10 years ago, where she saw patterns and felt a profound physical shift, describing it as a "cheat" for meditation due to its ability to help people drop into a meditative state more easily.
The Final segment begins with Shervon and Terrie discussing the benefits of sound healing and its applications in personal wellness and diagnostics. Terrie shares her personal experience with sound healing, which helped her overcome severe hives by identifying food dye allergies and using grounding techniques. They explore the future of sound healing, including its potential for collective healing, diagnostic applications, and its role in managing mood disorders and physical ailments. Terrie emphasizes the importance of natural healing modalities and encouraged listeners to explore sound healing and other alternative practices for overall well-being.
00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:13.309 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Hello, and welcome to the Expansion Room. I'm your host, Siobhan Larisse, and today we're going to be talking about a fascinating topic that is at the intersection of science and spirituality called sound healing. And…
00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:18.099 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I had my own experience with sound healing for the first time.
00:01:18.570 --> 00:01:27.229 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: About 10 years ago now that really shifted my, idea about
00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:41.730 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: what is woo-woo, and what is science-y. And so, sound healing, more and more, is being, incorporated into,
00:01:41.750 --> 00:01:47.350 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Mental health, as well as an alternative to physical health.
00:01:47.380 --> 00:02:00.790 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: practices. It is also sometimes called sound therapy, and it uses vibration and frequency to help restore balance, harmony, and wholeness, both to body and mind.
00:02:00.910 --> 00:02:05.759 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: My special guest today is a friend of mine, Terry Weaver.
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:21.039 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And she bridges the gap between the two worlds. She's a trained scientist, Reiki master, and sound healer. And she helps people to experience restorative and measurable effects of sound
00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:25.710 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: On the nervous system, brain waves, physical and emotional health.
00:02:25.790 --> 00:02:28.049 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: So, welcome, Terry!
00:02:28.260 --> 00:02:29.200 Terrie Weaver: Thank you, Mr. Martin.
00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:31.219 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Good to be here.
00:02:31.810 --> 00:02:38.590 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Let's see, I think we'll go right in. If you can tell us a little bit about
00:02:38.750 --> 00:02:43.469 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Your journey, and what brought you to sound healing.
00:02:44.130 --> 00:02:52.259 Terrie Weaver: Sure. My name is Terry Weaver. As you mentioned, I'm a scientist, and, recently.
00:02:52.520 --> 00:03:05.329 Terrie Weaver: have devoted my attention to sound healing and Reiki, due to some circumstances in my life, but basically my background, I have a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University in biotechnology.
00:03:05.370 --> 00:03:19.759 Terrie Weaver: And, BC, or before children. I worked as a scientist for several years at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and various, allergy, immunology, and cancer labs. And then, when I started my family.
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:29.220 Terrie Weaver: I worked as a science educator, mostly undergraduate courses, that I taught lab courses in area colleges, and I taught
00:03:29.410 --> 00:03:35.130 Terrie Weaver: Biology, and forensic science, biotechnology, and genetics.
00:03:35.350 --> 00:03:40.249 Terrie Weaver: And I was doing that while I was raising little ones, and nice. Part-time.
00:03:40.430 --> 00:03:52.889 Terrie Weaver: And then, when my children were, older, and more… a little more self-sufficient, and I had more time, I went back to science. And in the last 5 years of my life, I worked as a cell biologist.
00:03:53.170 --> 00:04:10.369 Terrie Weaver: My project was focusing on pediatric Crohn's disease and studying the immunological patterns of cells, and looking for a cell signature of Crohn's disease, indicating the onset of the disease, and also diagnostic tools
00:04:10.410 --> 00:04:15.180 Terrie Weaver: Using cells that were less invasive than other methods that are currently used.
00:04:15.430 --> 00:04:16.070 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Okay.
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.319 Terrie Weaver: And, also I developed, 3 patents in the area of
00:04:20.469 --> 00:04:30.869 Terrie Weaver: biofluid diagnostics, specifically saliva. So, in essence, wouldn't it be great if when you go to the doctor and a blood test is ordered, instead of going.
00:04:31.059 --> 00:04:41.739 Terrie Weaver: to a lab and having, you know, it drawn from your arm, which can be painful and kind of inconvenient to go in. Wouldn't it be great to just spit in a tube and send it off to a lab?
00:04:41.740 --> 00:04:50.499 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Much easier, yeah. Right! Not invasive, you can do it at home, you can do before and after treatments, you can do it at different time points during the day.
00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:56.400 Terrie Weaver: It's very, very easy to do, and it contains the same information.
00:04:56.810 --> 00:05:00.349 Terrie Weaver: So, that was the technology I was working on.
00:05:00.350 --> 00:05:00.730 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Nice.
00:05:00.730 --> 00:05:02.610 Terrie Weaver: I had a…
00:05:02.760 --> 00:05:13.399 Terrie Weaver: a, health challenge, and, that turned me to holistic healing modalities. And basically, it was,
00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:23.299 Terrie Weaver: It was a combination of sound healing and grounding, the two of those things that really made a fork in the road for me and changed my life entirely in a different direction.
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:29.170 Terrie Weaver: And also the loss of my job a year ago, almost a year ago, that,
00:05:29.350 --> 00:05:47.880 Terrie Weaver: really had me sit down and evaluate my life and think about what I wanted to do, and the direction I wanted to go in. I feel like the shift for me was so huge, and I learned so much about myself, and healing, and just what human beings are, like, what we are and what we can do.
00:05:48.120 --> 00:06:01.650 Terrie Weaver: that I just feel like my place is to share that with others, and teach others that, you know, we ourselves are healers. We're all natural healers, and we just have lost the ability to even
00:06:01.730 --> 00:06:14.849 Terrie Weaver: think that. We think that we have to turn to a doctor, or a specialist, or a wizard of some, or a guru, but really, it's all inside of us, and it's so exciting when we learn how to have the confidence and to tap into that.
00:06:14.970 --> 00:06:23.569 Terrie Weaver: to, self-heal ourselves of most anything. That's what humans were designed to do, and it's just been lost along the way.
00:06:23.900 --> 00:06:24.600 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Absolutely.
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:25.689 Terrie Weaver: That's my new role.
00:06:26.350 --> 00:06:29.210 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Wonderful. That's a lovely roll.
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:46.880 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I think… I think there's so much happening now in the Western world where people are waking up to what you're talking about, is that we don't have to, reach out to doctors or… or use pharmaceuticals.
00:06:46.970 --> 00:06:58.170 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: As much as we have been in our society, when we can use modalities, like sound healing, just…
00:06:58.270 --> 00:07:13.689 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Tapping into our own intuition and listening to our bodies and figuring out what we need, shifting our diet and what we consume as food, and looking at that food as medicine, right?
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:23.850 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: using the ways to move our body to release energy. There's so much going on now in our society that people are tapping into.
00:07:23.850 --> 00:07:24.850 Terrie Weaver: Right. And…
00:07:25.030 --> 00:07:26.120 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: they're not…
00:07:26.740 --> 00:07:38.739 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: just going to the doctor and listening, or being told what to do with your bodies, right? Right, right. And so that's the shift, I think, that we've needed.
00:07:38.880 --> 00:07:39.480 Terrie Weaver: It is.
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:40.489 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: really long time.
00:07:40.490 --> 00:07:43.530 Terrie Weaver: Now, now, Western medicine does have its benefits.
00:07:43.530 --> 00:07:44.010 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Absolutely.
00:07:44.010 --> 00:07:50.459 Terrie Weaver: having a baby, or you broke your arm, you know, Western medicine will take care of you. Exactly. No problem.
00:07:50.460 --> 00:07:53.130 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: You've been in a car accident, you need that.
00:07:53.130 --> 00:07:53.880 Terrie Weaver: Yes.
00:07:53.880 --> 00:07:54.580 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Whatever it is.
00:07:54.580 --> 00:07:57.059 Terrie Weaver: Thank you, Ambulance, for saving my life. Yes, thank you.
00:07:57.060 --> 00:07:57.520 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Hmm…
00:07:57.520 --> 00:08:11.130 Terrie Weaver: emergency crew for saving my life. But, some things, you know, you know, chronic conditions or, conditions involving inflammation, things like cancer, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, on and on and on.
00:08:11.130 --> 00:08:18.260 Terrie Weaver: Those kind of things, medical science, not so much… not so helpful. Not so helpful. Maybe for some people, but, you know.
00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:27.060 Terrie Weaver: popping a pill can only do so much to help, and there's also really huge power in the placebo effect. Gosh, you could do a whole show on just that.
00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:29.190 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I know.
00:08:29.190 --> 00:08:29.600 Terrie Weaver: But.
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:30.720 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yes.
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.750 Terrie Weaver: Yeah, so I think that,
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:42.800 Terrie Weaver: people are… kind of like myself, I turned to holistic modalities more out of desperation.
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.399 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I would do anything.
00:08:44.400 --> 00:08:51.069 Terrie Weaver: To feel better. Anything. I would try anything. There wasn't anything I wouldn't try. I was just so desperate to feel better.
00:08:51.070 --> 00:08:51.420 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yeah.
00:08:51.420 --> 00:08:54.779 Terrie Weaver: And, now that… now that I do, I'm 100% better.
00:08:55.030 --> 00:09:04.900 Terrie Weaver: can get into my journey a little later, but I… I'm so much better now that I just feel like I need to tell my story, and also, you know, hold space for others, and…
00:09:05.260 --> 00:09:14.169 Terrie Weaver: and work with them and show them how to tap into their own… their own wisdom. That's what this is all about. It's like when you said reaching out.
00:09:14.280 --> 00:09:25.109 Terrie Weaver: To others, versus… you really… our eyes are faced the wrong direction, if you think about, really, we should be focusing inward, because that's where it all is.
00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:26.090 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Absolutely.
00:09:26.090 --> 00:09:44.819 Terrie Weaver: I think that we're supposed to claw and grab and reach for everything outside of ourselves, including reaching for happiness, reaching for health, reaching for everything we want, but it's all inside of us. So it's really beautiful when you can learn to tap into it and utilize it.
00:09:44.910 --> 00:09:49.059 Terrie Weaver: For not just health, but well-being, happiness, joy, you know, you ever…
00:09:49.060 --> 00:09:54.650 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Wonder why the masters of the world smile so much? I know, right? Right?
00:09:54.650 --> 00:09:58.330 Terrie Weaver: They've got it figured out. This is all just a projection.
00:09:58.330 --> 00:10:01.400 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: They are super content.
00:10:01.770 --> 00:10:10.040 Terrie Weaver: Yes, they are. That's… I think that's… I think as my… my, my own personal journey continues, I've become more content
00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:20.490 Terrie Weaver: And honestly, in things that, common society doesn't look too highly upon. Slowness, calmness, mindfulness, Simplicity.
00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:20.830 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I mean, I.
00:10:20.830 --> 00:10:23.029 Terrie Weaver: My soul craves simplicity.
00:10:23.030 --> 00:10:35.510 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Exactly, and that brings me to… on this show, we have talked a lot about, in previous episodes, the parasympathetic nervous system. And that's that calmness you're talking about, right?
00:10:35.830 --> 00:10:36.530 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: rest.
00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:51.469 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: That relaxation, digest is in there. But that's what our natural state is supposed to be. This calm, restful way of moving about the world.
00:10:51.630 --> 00:10:56.819 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Most of us are in sympathetic nervous system, fight, flight, or freeze, most of.
00:10:56.820 --> 00:11:00.940 Terrie Weaver: Most of the time. Yep. Most of the time. It's a tough one.
00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:01.290 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: one…
00:11:01.290 --> 00:11:02.170 Terrie Weaver: Times to live forever.
00:11:02.170 --> 00:11:03.939 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: out of alignment, right?
00:11:03.940 --> 00:11:05.260 Terrie Weaver: That's totally out of alignment.
00:11:05.260 --> 00:11:05.740 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yeah, smoke.
00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:07.570 Terrie Weaver: Indeed. I agree.
00:11:07.570 --> 00:11:10.630 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Indeed. And so sound healing affects…
00:11:10.790 --> 00:11:16.530 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: that for us. It helps us to reset our central nervous system.
00:11:16.920 --> 00:11:23.199 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: get back into parasympathetic nervous system. It helps, our brain waves.
00:11:23.370 --> 00:11:34.579 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And it helps our energetic frequency in general to literally feel better physically and mentally and emotionally. Totally.
00:11:34.690 --> 00:11:37.179 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: It's one of those things…
00:11:37.570 --> 00:11:56.019 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I thought sound healing was something that was brand new when I first heard about it 10 years ago, but in kind of doing a little bit of research, it's been a thing that's been around for, like, a millennia. Like, they have been using sound in different ways for people to…
00:11:56.020 --> 00:12:05.640 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: have coherence, heart-brain coherence. When we think of the shamans and their rituals when they use drums, that is part of sound healing, right?
00:12:05.640 --> 00:12:06.190 Terrie Weaver: Totally.
00:12:06.190 --> 00:12:10.379 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Hoping to get the communities
00:12:10.660 --> 00:12:20.979 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: heartbeat incoherence, right? Heart-brain coherence and coherence with the people that are in the community.
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:38.150 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Oftentimes, music is being, music or sound is being used to calm angst, and that's what we're seeing now in the research, to calm angst and anxiety, to raise people out of depression.
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:53.499 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: It's a… it's a fascinating field, and we'll talk definitely more about that in this episode, but it's… it's a thing that I love, and it is… it is… it is so woven into our society.
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.680 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And it's a lovely…
00:12:55.830 --> 00:13:13.420 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: thing that we can access that, in a lot of ways, doesn't really cost us a lot of money, or if any kind of money, right? It's like, if you can use sound… we see it with babies. I don't know if you've ever seen… you've had two kids. Have they ever taken a spoon to a pot?
00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:15.120 Terrie Weaver: Oh, yes.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:25.129 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Right? Or something to something else, just to bang it, because… not only because they can hear, right? But it's making a rhythm for them that they like.
00:13:25.540 --> 00:13:31.179 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: So it starts for us really simply early, and so…
00:13:31.310 --> 00:13:48.110 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: in looking at, and I want to encourage the audience to, as you're looking at ways to bring more balance, more coherence in your life, to really think about sound as one of those ways to do so.
00:13:48.230 --> 00:14:08.049 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: So we're about to take our first break, and when we come back, we're going to answer the question with Terry of… from a scientific point of view, what's actually happening in the body when we are exposed to these kinds of frequencies? So when we come back, we'll start there.
00:15:17.150 --> 00:15:23.100
00:15:53.480 --> 00:16:07.029 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Welcome back to the Expansion Room. I'm your host, Siobhan Larisse, and today we are talking about the benefits of sound healing for mental as well as physical health. And today, my guest is Terry Weaver.
00:16:07.180 --> 00:16:26.989 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And we ended this… the last segment with a question, right? What is happening in our bodies, with these healing sound frequencies, and why do we feel such an immediate shift when we have sound healing?
00:16:28.730 --> 00:16:32.560 Terrie Weaver: Okay, I have, maybe two parts to answer this question.
00:16:32.770 --> 00:16:44.819 Terrie Weaver: First, when the body is exposed to healing frequencies, so those are frequencies at a specific Hertz, that's a measurable, number, or, you know, unit of measure.
00:16:44.930 --> 00:16:48.649 Terrie Weaver: The cells are brought into resonance with one another.
00:16:48.840 --> 00:17:05.249 Terrie Weaver: And a good way to illustrate how this works is, this is a YouTube video anyone could look up if you want to see. If you know what a metronome is, if you're in music, a metronome is a… is an instrument that has a ticker in it, tick, tock, tick, tock, and it.
00:17:05.250 --> 00:17:05.750 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: You can.
00:17:05.750 --> 00:17:18.850 Terrie Weaver: You can adjust it to, different, paces in music, so that you have an orchestra that's playing at the same pace, a song, in unison, and so they're in, you know, resonance with one another.
00:17:18.849 --> 00:17:23.720 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: If it's off just slightly, any one instrument is not in the same.
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.890 Terrie Weaver: rhythm, it won't work. The whole thing won't work.
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:40.140 Terrie Weaver: Right. Somebody did an interesting experiment where they put, metronomes in a room, in a space, all together, a whole bunch of them, like, maybe 50 of them, all at different paces, right?
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:48.450 Terrie Weaver: Set to the same time, you know, interval, but not… they're all ticking at all different, you know, all different times.
00:17:48.580 --> 00:17:51.309 Terrie Weaver: Over time, they all synchronize together.
00:17:51.310 --> 00:17:54.260 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Exactly. I remember that experiment. That was awesome.
00:17:54.260 --> 00:18:00.329 Terrie Weaver: Yeah, it's… when you see it, it's a very powerful image, and that is the way that I describe resonance.
00:18:00.330 --> 00:18:08.190 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Those instruments had a way of tuning into one another. It's just part of one of life's mysteries.
00:18:08.430 --> 00:18:09.230 Terrie Weaver: Yeah.
00:18:09.230 --> 00:18:14.020 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: But it's the same thing with the shamans beating the drum, and the whole community…
00:18:14.020 --> 00:18:17.339 Terrie Weaver: Absolutely, they're putting that group in resonance with.
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:28.390 Terrie Weaver: So when you, expose your cells to sounds, if you, say, you go to a sound healing and a person is playing sound bowls, or just a number of meditative instruments.
00:18:28.930 --> 00:18:32.149 Terrie Weaver: If that sound is at a specific frequency.
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.290 Terrie Weaver: It can put your cells in resonance with that frequency.
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:49.969 Terrie Weaver: A lot of research is being done on specific frequencies. Research is limited so far, but, you know, it's coming around. It's… people are coming on board to, wow, this is really powerful.
00:18:50.100 --> 00:18:57.360 Terrie Weaver: And, you know, some of the frequencies are even known to, have effects with certain chakras, so if you're not.
00:18:57.360 --> 00:18:57.810 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yeah.
00:18:57.810 --> 00:19:00.999 Terrie Weaver: chakras. Chakras are the energy centers of the body.
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:01.330 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yeah?
00:19:01.330 --> 00:19:15.369 Terrie Weaver: And so, you know, for example, 528 Hz is known as the love frequency, and that's where, if an instrument is played in that… in that range, it can evoke DNA repair and emotional balance.
00:19:15.550 --> 00:19:24.479 Terrie Weaver: There's, 963 Hz can stimulate the pineal gland, open up the third eye, so to speak.
00:19:24.790 --> 00:19:42.930 Terrie Weaver: make us more conscious, elevate consciousness, if you will. So, this is something interesting to look up online if you want to do your own little rabbit hole of information about, you know, the number of hertz, and there's… there's all kinds of different… you can even get tuning forks that correspond to.
00:19:42.930 --> 00:19:43.470 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yep.
00:19:43.740 --> 00:20:00.440 Terrie Weaver: different number of Hertzes and, that have desired effects. So if you have a person that is suffering from a certain ailment or needs help with a certain, like, maybe they have a broken heart and they want to, you know, expand the heart, you know, 528 Hz might be a good frequency to work with with that person.
00:20:00.620 --> 00:20:12.320 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Absolutely. One of the things I love about these, the numbers, the hertz that you noted is that they are in line with Nikola Tesla's
00:20:12.560 --> 00:20:20.640 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: original theory all those years ago about frequency, about vibration, and he…
00:20:20.750 --> 00:20:35.200 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: talks so much about, I think his favorite quote, his famous quote is that if you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.
00:20:35.290 --> 00:20:43.230 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And out of that came this 369 thing, right? It's this 369 code that everything breaks down
00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:46.389 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: 3, 6, 3, 6, and or 9.
00:20:46.630 --> 00:20:59.469 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And that's what the Hertz… when we use sound healing in reference to these Hertz, they bring us back in resonance with the idea of the way the Earth vibrates.
00:20:59.780 --> 00:21:18.009 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: the way the Earth's frequencies, move, and we are part of Earth. No matter how much we want to think we're separate from, and that's probably part of the reason that we see so many woes on the planet, but we are part of the planet.
00:21:18.520 --> 00:21:19.600 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: we…
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:28.989 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: want to be in frequency or in coherence for our best optimal health. And when we're out of that.
00:21:29.540 --> 00:21:32.049 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Sets everything off.
00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:41.999 Terrie Weaver: It does, it does. It's interesting that we're really just learning, or scratching the surface, really, of this. I think this is going to blow up.
00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:58.600 Terrie Weaver: Over time, when… I mean, we already have so many technologies that utilize sound, you know, ultrasound, sonar, I mean, there's so many, human advances that have been made because of, utilizing sound frequencies.
00:21:58.650 --> 00:22:05.959 Terrie Weaver: Absolutely. So another thing that, that happens is, in the brain, the electrical activity
00:22:06.170 --> 00:22:15.799 Terrie Weaver: That can be measured, so if you see people with sensors on their… on their head that are having, you know, an evaluation of what's going on in their brain electrically.
00:22:15.800 --> 00:22:16.350 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Hmm.
00:22:16.590 --> 00:22:24.230 Terrie Weaver: The… the brain waves that are measured can be placed in categories, you know, so delta is… that's deep sleep.
00:22:24.490 --> 00:22:35.329 Terrie Weaver: Theta is the state of meditation. Alpha is relaxed alertness. So you're… you're not asleep, but you're not really doing anything. Maybe you're just…
00:22:35.930 --> 00:22:44.619 Terrie Weaver: relaxing, you know, reading a book or something like that. Beta is waking consciousness, and gamma is when you have intense focus.
00:22:44.840 --> 00:22:49.059 Terrie Weaver: you know, you're intensely focused on something.
00:22:49.290 --> 00:23:08.890 Terrie Weaver: what sound… sound healing does in particular, so let's… let's give, you know, a typical sound bath, what would happen in a sound bath experience. So I'm a sound bath… a sound healing practitioner, so I would go into a room with people who are either lying on mats or in chairs, couches, and I use grounding mats also.
00:23:08.890 --> 00:23:11.709 Terrie Weaver: To kind of enhance the experience. And they…
00:23:11.710 --> 00:23:16.030 Terrie Weaver: basically listen. So, if you've ever taken a yoga class.
00:23:16.050 --> 00:23:19.989 Terrie Weaver: My favorite part of the yoga class is called Shavasana, it's at the end.
00:23:19.990 --> 00:23:20.640 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yes.
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:27.029 Terrie Weaver: you're all done with all the work that you're doing, you get to rest and just be, and it's the best.
00:23:27.530 --> 00:23:32.709 Terrie Weaver: So sound healing, a sound bath, is just… we're just gonna do shavasana.
00:23:32.710 --> 00:23:36.310 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Slip all the work? For an extended period.
00:23:36.310 --> 00:23:51.349 Terrie Weaver: Yes, we are. It's typically an hour, and you basically just lay there and listen to music and relax, and the amazing thing about it is that, people are… a lot of people are able to enter the theta state
00:23:51.390 --> 00:24:08.410 Terrie Weaver: Almost immediately. Even people who are even trying it… not all people, but a lot of people, people that I've talked to, and my own experience. The first time I ever went to a sound bath, I dropped down within minutes. Call it dropping down. You're able to access that.
00:24:08.410 --> 00:24:10.679 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Those theta… that theta…
00:24:11.280 --> 00:24:13.220 Terrie Weaver: brain state, and…
00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:36.179 Terrie Weaver: deep relaxation. And when that happens, not only does deep healing happen in your body, where your body releases tension, if there's a particularly traumatic memory that's on the surface, maybe it might release, you might get a twitch in your arm, and it's just really… it doesn't… you're not necessarily conscious about it, but it's your body's way of moving energy and releasing and healing.
00:24:36.250 --> 00:24:45.140 Terrie Weaver: And it is… it's so deeply relaxing that a lot of people, including myself, have huge intuitive hits.
00:24:45.230 --> 00:24:55.000 Terrie Weaver: I have had, visions, I've had almost kind of like a dreamlike… dreamlike state, where I'll hear from my guides, or I'll hear from, you know.
00:24:55.130 --> 00:25:05.530 Terrie Weaver: just nudgings to do this or that to… on my path, you know, hints. Some people call it breadcrumbs, but in a way that's really obvious.
00:25:05.530 --> 00:25:06.160 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yeah.
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:18.239 Terrie Weaver: And so it's a way of not only healing your body and your energy, but getting in touch with your own intuition, with your own inner strength, with your own inner guidance, right? It's a way to…
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:29.620 Terrie Weaver: to just… it's like getting on the phone and calling yourself and saying, hey, what's up with me, and how do I fix this whatever problem it is? And then you get advice, and in a way that
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.839 Terrie Weaver: You know, some people see colors or patterns.
00:25:33.280 --> 00:25:39.539 Terrie Weaver: it's… it's… people have very interesting experiences, and, when I… when I conduct sound healings.
00:25:39.790 --> 00:25:47.020 Terrie Weaver: At the end, I invite people to share, and sometimes people share their experiences. Sometimes they don't, it can be very personal.
00:25:47.020 --> 00:25:48.740 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: But, you know, people have…
00:25:48.740 --> 00:26:07.960 Terrie Weaver: Heard from loved ones that have passed away, they see, you know, interesting, flashes of colors or patterns, or… it's just… it's so varying and fascinating what, what people are able to access in that state. And some people fall asleep, and they don't have any memory of it whatsoever, but that's okay.
00:26:09.100 --> 00:26:20.370 Terrie Weaver: You know, sleeping is in the delta… the delta brain waves, and so you're still receiving benefits, so it doesn't matter if you're in the, you know, the theta state and you see, you know, your spirit guides, or if you're just…
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:36.039 Terrie Weaver: totally asleep. It doesn't matter, you still receive all the benefits, and your body is able to reset, and you're able to get out of that, as you mentioned, the fight-or-flight state that a lot of us live in, in our modern culture. Yeah. It's a chance for the body.
00:26:36.040 --> 00:26:36.980 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: More in the Paris.
00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:37.469 Terrie Weaver: Really good.
00:26:37.470 --> 00:26:38.040 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: big.
00:26:38.040 --> 00:26:39.240 Terrie Weaver: Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:43.159 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: No, I said we just… we're supposed to be much more in the parasympathetic.
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:54.899 Terrie Weaver: Yes, yes, and it's… it's, it's interesting, too, because it's something that can be almost learned. I went to so many sound baths myself as a… as a client.
00:26:54.970 --> 00:27:11.310 Terrie Weaver: In so many different places. One of them was outside, and it was wonderful, the sounds of nature integrated. One was in someone's backyard pool. We got to float in the pool while my friend was playing the bowls, and that was otherworldly.
00:27:11.670 --> 00:27:27.100 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: But I actually came across a video like that, where, like, the pool was stacked with floating devices, everybody was on them with little blankets, and someone was doing sound healing, and I was like, oh, that has got to be the coolest way of doing this.
00:27:27.100 --> 00:27:44.160 Terrie Weaver: It was amazing. It also was when the sun was going down, so the sky was getting darker, darker, and then the lights were coming around around in the pool area. It was very elegant. Along the landscape and the sounds of nature all around, it was… it was, like I said, otherworldly.
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:44.599 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I love it.
00:27:44.600 --> 00:27:45.090 Terrie Weaver: Mmm.
00:27:45.090 --> 00:28:02.609 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I love it. You know, it's funny, my first, very first introduction to sound healing 10 years ago, I was definitely one of those people who saw patterns. I was blown away that, I mean, I'm in a dark room, my eyes were closed, and I could see these patterns going.
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:10.119 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: you know, before, like, waves before my eyes, and I opened my eyes at one point. I was like, what is happening?
00:28:10.120 --> 00:28:17.020 Terrie Weaver: And I just closed him back and just enjoyed the process, because I could feel something shifting.
00:28:17.020 --> 00:28:18.610 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Physically in my body.
00:28:18.610 --> 00:28:19.350 Terrie Weaver: Yes, yes.
00:28:19.350 --> 00:28:20.469 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: really profound.
00:28:20.470 --> 00:28:35.090 Terrie Weaver: Totally profound. And the other thing is that shift that you're mentioning, and what I was calling dropping down. A lot of people are able to achieve this, and I don't want to say everyone, because everybody's experience is different, but some people try meditation, and they try it year after year, and it just, for whatever reason.
00:28:35.090 --> 00:28:35.660 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Right.
00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:48.490 Terrie Weaver: I, myself included, I… basically, ADHD, my mind's all over the place, I can't slow it down. There's something about those instruments. When you lay down and you're inviting, you're inviting rest and restoration.
00:28:48.770 --> 00:28:59.999 Terrie Weaver: you open up in a way, your mind is distracted with those sounds, and it helps you just drop right down into a meditation. It's almost like a cheat for meditation.
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:10.479 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: It really is, but I think of sound healing, just like I think of Yoga Nidra, which we've talked about on this program a lot, as forms of meditation.
00:29:10.840 --> 00:29:16.460 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Because we don't have to… meditation doesn't have to be, oh, you sit in the lotus position on a cushion with your fingers…
00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:17.060 Terrie Weaver: Right.
00:29:17.060 --> 00:29:21.680 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: So, right, there are other ways to access
00:29:21.900 --> 00:29:32.939 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: That state in our brain, so that we connect to our guides, our higher selves, and our intuition, right?
00:29:33.330 --> 00:29:38.870 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: So it doesn't have to be that. I encourage everyone to find their thing.
00:29:38.870 --> 00:29:41.309 Terrie Weaver: Right? Yes, and this is a tool.
00:29:41.310 --> 00:29:42.429 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: another way.
00:29:42.430 --> 00:29:42.810 Terrie Weaver: Exactly.
00:29:42.810 --> 00:29:57.030 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Exactly. Yep, I know someone, as a matter of fact, he was a guest on the show a couple of months ago, and he… he also felt like he couldn't meditate, he didn't… he thought he didn't have the DNA to connect to spirit until he did a breath practice.
00:29:57.190 --> 00:29:58.929 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And boom, he was there.
00:29:58.930 --> 00:30:00.460 Terrie Weaver: That worked for him, right.
00:30:00.460 --> 00:30:05.789 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yep, so we are all wired in whatever ways we are wired, and that is a gift.
00:30:06.100 --> 00:30:16.369 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And in that, you need to find which way you can tune inward that's going to be the best benefit for you to access that state.
00:30:17.650 --> 00:30:27.170 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: So we're about to take our next break, and when we come back, we'll talk about, we'll answer this question, like, from your perspective, Terry.
00:30:27.550 --> 00:30:43.670 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: As both a scientist and sound healer, how do you see this principle showing up in your work with sound? Nikola Tesla's frequency, idea, the 369, how… how do you…
00:30:44.100 --> 00:30:50.440 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: experience it when you're offering sound healing for people. And so when we come back, we'll answer that.
00:31:51.780 --> 00:32:01.029
00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:30.509 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Welcome back to the Expansion Room, where today we are talking about the benefits of sound healing.
00:32:30.540 --> 00:32:44.909 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And before the break, we asked the question of our guest, Terry Weaver. As both a scientist and a healer, what is she noticing in reference to Nikola Tesla's
00:32:44.910 --> 00:32:52.999 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: principle about frequency and sound, the 369, how does it show up for you in the work that you've been doing so far?
00:32:55.570 --> 00:33:01.929 Terrie Weaver: This is something that is kind of an ongoing investigation on my part.
00:33:01.930 --> 00:33:03.989 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I am,
00:33:04.100 --> 00:33:12.529 Terrie Weaver: classically trained scientist, and so I observe cause and effect, and I like to take accurate notes, I like to ask questions.
00:33:12.530 --> 00:33:24.500 Terrie Weaver: And so, since the sound healing is a relatively new endeavor for me, I've been participating in sound healings for years, but as a practitioner myself.
00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:30.560 Terrie Weaver: starting to work with people, I'm just basically going on what I'm learning, and
00:33:30.870 --> 00:33:40.599 Terrie Weaver: Tuning forks is something I'm incredibly interested in. I've been doing a lot of research on tuning forks. I'm trying to decide which ones to get, and at which Hertzes.
00:33:40.810 --> 00:33:47.559 Terrie Weaver: Because, I have seen demonstrated that you can actually diagnose
00:33:47.710 --> 00:34:07.580 Terrie Weaver: certain blockages, or, like, say there's a, you know, damage or something in someone's organ or bone, by simply bringing the fork and holding it over certain areas of the body. So, for example, let's say someone has an injury on their shoulder, and they haven't told you about it. You could ring, you know, a…
00:34:07.790 --> 00:34:14.070 Terrie Weaver: A tuning fork, and hold it on one side versus the other, and it will sound differently.
00:34:14.310 --> 00:34:14.960 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Wow.
00:34:14.969 --> 00:34:25.889 Terrie Weaver: So, that is fascinating to me, because… because I was a scientist involved in diagnostics, I never even thought about sound the way
00:34:26.089 --> 00:34:34.169 Terrie Weaver: sound reverberates, you know, it reflects back, you know, that it can carry information. And if you think about how sonar works to.
00:34:34.170 --> 00:34:34.610 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Right.
00:34:34.610 --> 00:34:51.869 Terrie Weaver: the map, the bottom of the ocean, how it sends waves down, and the way that they come back, how they're recorded, you can figure out what the depth is at any given… that's how we can figure out the topography of the bottom of the ocean with sonar. It's kind of like the same thing with a tuning fork. You're sending a wave of energy into
00:34:51.870 --> 00:34:56.650 Terrie Weaver: A person's body, and it's picking up energy and reflecting back.
00:34:56.650 --> 00:35:02.480 Terrie Weaver: to, you know, to the observer, what's going on in that person. That's totally fascinating to me.
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:03.390 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: It is!
00:35:03.390 --> 00:35:13.819 Terrie Weaver: locate blockages, energy blockages. You know, when we pent up our emotions, our society isn't really good about, well, we think we're getting better, but…
00:35:13.940 --> 00:35:29.620 Terrie Weaver: Especially for men, just, about repressing emotions. You're not allowed to cry, you're not allowed to show emotion, you're not allowed to… you know, and what that does is it piles up over a lifetime, and it can concentrate in certain areas in the body, and it can present in the form of different illnesses.
00:35:29.620 --> 00:35:44.480 Terrie Weaver: So what happens when we press our emotions, and we don't process our feelings, it can become entrapped in the body and create a blockage. And a tuning fork can almost be like a diagnostic instrument. It can find a blockage.
00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:52.110 Terrie Weaver: locate it so that an energy healer such as myself, I'm also a Reiki practitioner, can then work on the energy, the movement of the energy.
00:35:52.250 --> 00:36:10.369 Terrie Weaver: in that part of the body. I use a combination of Reiki and sound healing, to work on those blockages once they're identified. Right now, I'm kind of doing those intuitively, but the tuning fork really, that's something physical that, again, cause and effect that you can observe and record.
00:36:10.370 --> 00:36:16.540 Terrie Weaver: You know, you can go on YouTube and look up tuning forks yourself and be fascinated by the different uses.
00:36:16.590 --> 00:36:32.719 Terrie Weaver: Of them, as I mentioned, I was doing in my own journey. And then as far as releasing blockages and, you know, treating different areas of the body, you can use sound directly on that part of the body, say the shoulder analogy I gave, or example I gave.
00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:37.490 Terrie Weaver: If you hold a tuning fork of a certain frequency on that shoulder.
00:36:37.860 --> 00:36:38.400 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yeah.
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:48.360 Terrie Weaver: and let it vibrate. It is incre… it is incredible. I speak from my own experience. I had a practitioner once hold a tuning fork on my crown chakra, and I experienced…
00:36:49.270 --> 00:37:08.349 Terrie Weaver: I don't even know how to put into words, but an incredible healing. And it was visceral. It was all through my body. I had goosebumps, and I saw colors, and there was definitely an opening happening there. Another thing that can be done is you can put a, sound, one of the
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:17.039 Terrie Weaver: bowls directly on the person, you know, on their heart chakra. I've even seen… I saw, yesterday, someone
00:37:17.250 --> 00:37:25.450 Terrie Weaver: has a huge bowl and had the person stand in it. Oh my goodness! And laid the bowl. I was like, wow!
00:37:26.010 --> 00:37:27.919 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I love it! I love it.
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:47.609 Terrie Weaver: different creative approaches, but I think that it can be utilized in diagnostics and in healing, in locating blockages, injuries, pent-up energy, and helping to release it and move it, because that's how we heal ourselves, is we locate
00:37:47.610 --> 00:37:51.340 Terrie Weaver: And we, we move along energy that's stuck.
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:59.740 Terrie Weaver: We are energetic beings, we are designed for flow, and when we impede that flow, it creates…
00:37:59.850 --> 00:38:05.960 Terrie Weaver: resistance, which can show up in any number of different ailments in the body, so…
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:12.239 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Blockages in the body, ailments in the body. You can even see as… as people age.
00:38:12.860 --> 00:38:24.310 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: If they've not done this kind of, energy blocking, removal, like, you can see where their body shifts or distorts where the blocks are.
00:38:24.780 --> 00:38:28.230 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: You know, and so it's fascinating to watch.
00:38:28.710 --> 00:38:29.170 Terrie Weaver: Yes.
00:38:29.170 --> 00:38:29.920 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: sand.
00:38:30.160 --> 00:38:31.950 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And so, for you.
00:38:32.450 --> 00:38:41.989 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Can you share a little bit about your experience with sound healing in releasing trauma, and kind of accessing that deep…
00:38:42.190 --> 00:38:45.589 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Deep level of healing that you've been talking about.
00:38:46.200 --> 00:38:50.529 Terrie Weaver: Absolutely, I would like to use myself as an example.
00:38:50.670 --> 00:38:53.149 Terrie Weaver: The reason I got into this…
00:38:53.390 --> 00:38:57.479 Terrie Weaver: is because, 8 years ago, I…
00:38:58.020 --> 00:39:05.190 Terrie Weaver: I was sitting at a meeting at work, and my hand started itching. And I looked down, and I had a rash.
00:39:05.470 --> 00:39:10.120 Terrie Weaver: And it wouldn't go away, and it developed into hives.
00:39:10.450 --> 00:39:10.850 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Oof.
00:39:10.850 --> 00:39:18.170 Terrie Weaver: that were so severe that, I was missing work, my quality of life went down the toilet.
00:39:18.410 --> 00:39:28.170 Terrie Weaver: I couldn't cope. I went to multiple doctors, trying to find out, am I allergic to something? Do I have an illness? What's going on?
00:39:28.170 --> 00:39:32.110 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I tried every type of doctor you can think of.
00:39:32.230 --> 00:39:51.840 Terrie Weaver: all different modalities to try to, you know, figure out what was making me have hives. It was… it didn't seem to have a pattern. That was what was so mystifying about it. It didn't seem to be related to food, or environment, or… everybody kept saying, oh, it's stress, it's stress, but I don't think that stress could cause
00:39:51.940 --> 00:39:57.979 Terrie Weaver: the severity of the hives that I was experiencing. So,
00:39:59.650 --> 00:40:19.380 Terrie Weaver: I felt, kind of let down by Western medicine. I started to lose my faith. That was a big turning point for me. I just was like, wow, all they could do is give me a very powerful immune suppressor. I was on a drug called Zolair, X-O-L-A-I-R, for
00:40:19.460 --> 00:40:21.889 Terrie Weaver: 7 of the 8 years.
00:40:23.040 --> 00:40:29.909 Terrie Weaver: Of this, didn't know what was causing it, but it did help. It did take the hives away.
00:40:30.040 --> 00:40:39.500 Terrie Weaver: And helped me just cope. Another thing I did was I swam. I swam almost every day, just to be alive, just to be in my body. It was so severe.
00:40:39.500 --> 00:40:39.990 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yeah.
00:40:39.990 --> 00:40:55.120 Terrie Weaver: And, I would do things like… I can't imagine doing this now, but I live in Maryland, near the Potomac River, up in the, you know, up in the mountain, mountainous part of Maryland. And even in the month of February, if I was having an outbreak of hives, I would just go jump in the river.
00:40:55.170 --> 00:40:56.340 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Oh my.
00:40:56.340 --> 00:40:56.660 Terrie Weaver: Yeah.
00:40:56.660 --> 00:40:57.260 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: That's…
00:40:57.260 --> 00:41:04.220 Terrie Weaver: how bad it felt like, I was on fire and being stung by bees at the same time. That's how severe the hives were.
00:41:04.430 --> 00:41:19.090 Terrie Weaver: And it was so bad, I kept waking up with hives, not knowing what… it's just… I was, like, human torture, right? Wow. So when I started, I learned about grounding, which is basically connecting to the earth. You could do a whole podcast on grounding, Sir Ron.
00:41:19.250 --> 00:41:31.339 Terrie Weaver: Basically putting your, your feet on the earth, or laying on the earth. I use grounding mats at home. It's, we're, we're… we've become insulated from the earth. Native Americans
00:41:31.520 --> 00:41:43.090 Terrie Weaver: used to, or currently even still do, wear… wear leather-based shoes, so they're connected to the earth. They sleep in an environment that is, you know, conductive to the Earth.
00:41:43.390 --> 00:41:47.500 Terrie Weaver: Animals in nature don't have things like
00:41:47.630 --> 00:42:06.729 Terrie Weaver: cancer or fibromyalgia, you know, they don't… because they're connected to the Earth, we have become insulated from wearing shoes and living indoors. So, if you look at, you know, our lifestyle, some people go the entire day without having any contact at all with the Earth, and why this is so important is because the Earth is like a giant battery.
00:42:06.730 --> 00:42:15.829 Terrie Weaver: And we're not connected to Mother Earth. We're not getting nourished by Mother Earth. And the… the Earth is negatively charged, and.
00:42:15.830 --> 00:42:16.310 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Right.
00:42:16.310 --> 00:42:27.200 Terrie Weaver: Over, our exposure to our environment, and just, you know, static, and, you know, all the devices and the… everything in the ethers, our bodies become new,
00:42:27.340 --> 00:42:38.570 Terrie Weaver: more positively charged, right? We're supposed to be negatively charged. We become more positively charged, and so all it really takes is one little interaction with the Earth, just put your hand on the Earth, and
00:42:38.650 --> 00:42:45.509 Terrie Weaver: The free electrons are flowed into your body, and you're, you're good, you're grounded, right?
00:42:45.550 --> 00:43:01.219 Terrie Weaver: But most people go a whole day, and they don't even come in touch with the earth, including myself. I went to a grounding retreat, a women's retreat, held by some friends of mine, and they did a whole retreat on grounding, and I learned all about it, and I was like, wow, it's used to treat inflammation. So I tried that.
00:43:01.380 --> 00:43:17.230 Terrie Weaver: And it worked so well that I… I went and bought grounding mats, and I even have… I have a grounding pillow I still use. I mentioned I woke up with hives every morning. When I woke up with the hives, they were on my face, but not on the side that was touching the grounding pillow.
00:43:17.500 --> 00:43:21.779 Terrie Weaver: That blew my mind! This is an anti-inflammatory, free thing!
00:43:21.780 --> 00:43:27.980 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yes! It's a free thing that I have access to. So, over time, I found out that.
00:43:27.980 --> 00:43:43.989 Terrie Weaver: Because I spread out the Zolair doses enough that I was able to observe cause and effect, and I took really great notes. I found out I was allergic to food dyes. In particular, red 40, yellow 5, yellow 6, and blue 1.
00:43:44.110 --> 00:43:55.190 Terrie Weaver: And a friend of mine who's a chemist told me, hey, Terry, those… those substances are very, very similar chemically to sulfa drugs, which he didn't know this, but I'm allergic to sulfa drugs.
00:43:55.200 --> 00:44:06.200 Terrie Weaver: And I'm allergic to 4… 3 other classes of antibiotics. So my allergies ended up being antibiotics in animal products and meat that I was eating that I didn't know had been treated.
00:44:06.300 --> 00:44:22.800 Terrie Weaver: And… food dies. So, radical changes in my diet, and using grounding and sound healing, I'm sitting here in front of you 100% better. I'm off the Zolair, and I don't have any hives ever. Unless I have an accidental exposure in food, but I figured it out.
00:44:23.050 --> 00:44:24.640 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Right. Ugh.
00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:27.599 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I love this so much.
00:44:27.600 --> 00:44:29.629 Terrie Weaver: So, in your store figuring out…
00:44:29.630 --> 00:44:32.469 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: And you're healing into your own hands.
00:44:32.940 --> 00:44:34.120 Terrie Weaver: Yes, I had to.
00:44:34.120 --> 00:44:35.260 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: would not do that, yeah.
00:44:35.260 --> 00:44:50.609 Terrie Weaver: they couldn't figure it out. Yeah, yeah, and I mean, I had very, very empathetic, compassionate practitioners, very helpful and listened, and I did all the food, you know, the food elimination diets, and there was never a pattern. There was never a pattern, because there's no pattern to food dyes and.
00:44:50.610 --> 00:44:51.200 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: No.
00:44:51.200 --> 00:45:04.859 Terrie Weaver: antibiotics and animal products and meat, I mean, there's no pattern to that, so it… Exactly. It really took my own, you know, passion to really figure it out and access to my own intuition.
00:45:05.500 --> 00:45:17.679 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Wonderful. All right. Well, we're about to take our final break, and so when we come back, we'll wrap this up and talk about kind of where we see sound healing going through the science.
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:19.410 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: So come on back, y'all.
00:46:20.670 --> 00:46:29.859
00:46:52.450 --> 00:47:01.589 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Welcome back to the Expansion Room, and we are wrapping up our conversation around sound healing and the benefits for our mental…
00:47:01.590 --> 00:47:22.939 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: and physical health with our guest, Terry Weaver. And one of the things that, you know, I'm kind of a little bit of a nerd in reference to sound healing, and there was a documentary that is on YouTube called The One Field, and in that documentary, they are talking about and exploring
00:47:22.940 --> 00:47:27.649 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: The connection that we all have here on Earth.
00:47:27.790 --> 00:47:35.650 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: to the field of consciousness around us and that created us. And out of that is frequency.
00:47:35.720 --> 00:47:49.470 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: and sound, and how we use it, to our benefit, and so they looked at not only the science in reference to healing, and one of the things I saw probably…
00:47:49.600 --> 00:48:06.070 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: 9 years ago was that they're using sound now to heal, to kill cancer cells, which is, like, my favorite thing, right? But also, to use it in, mental health.
00:48:06.140 --> 00:48:15.949 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Specifically for mood disorders, and to use it for other physical ailments. But we can use sound just
00:48:15.950 --> 00:48:30.409 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: on the basic level, like you were talking about tuning forks. We can use music, we can use our own voice for tonal healing. I encourage clients often to create a music playlist.
00:48:30.490 --> 00:48:35.200 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: that… Helps them to either lift their mood if they're feeling depressed.
00:48:35.210 --> 00:48:45.349 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: calm their anxiety when they're feeling anxious, or just need a jolt. I have two hype playlists for, like.
00:48:45.350 --> 00:48:50.400 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: if I'm feeling a little dull, not particularly depressed, but I'm just feeling dull.
00:48:50.400 --> 00:49:06.740 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: I put on a hype playlist and dance around my house, and that shifts my mood, that shifts my energy. So from that basic level to what we were talking about in going to a sound healing, experience to
00:49:06.780 --> 00:49:24.650 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: how shamans use drums to help to, entrain or bring a community into coherence for spiritual healing work. All of it. All of it works, right? And so, Terry, for our guests.
00:49:25.520 --> 00:49:39.740 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: what are you looking at into the future? How do you envision sound healing and frequency being used, not just for personal wellness, but for, like, the collective healing of humanity?
00:49:41.520 --> 00:49:49.769 Terrie Weaver: I believe that as we collectively awaken and recognize our natural healing abilities as humans, we'll see a shift towards
00:49:49.770 --> 00:50:05.069 Terrie Weaver: natural modalities, such as sound healing, and away from pharmaceuticals, surgery. Not that those things don't have value and aren't helpful, but just as people tap in and raise in consciousness and start to understand their own
00:50:05.740 --> 00:50:15.080 Terrie Weaver: basic nature. As human beings, we are all healers, and not just to know it, but to live it and believe… believe it, and know it, and live it.
00:50:15.420 --> 00:50:25.789 Terrie Weaver: there's gonna be so… it's… the future's gonna look very different than it does today. As you mentioned, sound is already being used, to,
00:50:25.860 --> 00:50:37.839 Terrie Weaver: to target cancer cells. It can be used kind of like a laser to, you know, to perform procedures to, you can even break up, stones, kidney stones, with.
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:38.500 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yes.
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:39.840 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Which sound, yup.
00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:55.090 Terrie Weaver: That's non-invasive, and, you know, that's amazing. There's this new technology that I was reading about called, brainwave entrapment, and that's when, a client listens to two different frequencies in each ear. So, for example, maybe 400…
00:50:55.090 --> 00:51:00.539 Terrie Weaver: in one ear and 410Hz in the other ear. And what happens is.
00:51:00.600 --> 00:51:06.130 Terrie Weaver: So, interestingly, the brain actually interprets and hears a third frequency.
00:51:06.130 --> 00:51:06.490 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Yep.
00:51:06.490 --> 00:51:22.919 Terrie Weaver: which is 10 Hz, because that's the difference between the two, right down the middle, and that's an actually imperceptible range, so it's kind of like a way of tricking your brain into accepting and hearing another range that is inaudible, that has healing properties. That's amazing to me.
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:36.490 Terrie Weaver: There's… there's been research on 40 Hz energy, that it can be used in Alzheimer's treatment. Yes. That it can actually… this… this blew my mind. You would think… we've been talking about stimulating the meditative states.
00:51:36.490 --> 00:51:45.049 Terrie Weaver: brainwaves through this whole podcast, but that one actually stimulates the gamma brain waves. That's the active alert,
00:51:45.310 --> 00:52:00.699 Terrie Weaver: wave category. So, wow! Yeah. Great, so I think that, as more people, as I was saying, I'm a scientist, there's other scientists, people who are waking up and starting to kind of understand how this works and ask questions.
00:52:01.060 --> 00:52:18.880 Terrie Weaver: I think the body of research is expanding and growing as people ask questions, and I myself am keeping accurate notes as I go along in my process, and learning and sharing what I learn, and I think that this field has amazing potential for human health and well-being.
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:25.720 Terrie Weaver: Not just for a cure, or treatment, or diagnostics of ailments, but just general well-being.
00:52:25.720 --> 00:52:30.459 Terrie Weaver: Teaching people to relax, to access
00:52:30.460 --> 00:52:46.340 Terrie Weaver: brainwave states that are conducive to energy flow and feelings of well-being. Our culture has conditioned us for the opposite. And I was mentioning earlier about the sound healing sessions that I've attended as a client.
00:52:46.540 --> 00:53:04.809 Terrie Weaver: I've been to so many of them that it's almost like I've become trained, so I'm able to just listen to, you know, go on YouTube and pull up somebody playing singing bowls, and listen to it before I go to sleep, and it often helps me just drop right down, because I've kind of learned it, I've trained myself to
00:53:05.130 --> 00:53:12.180 Terrie Weaver: associate that with a state of deep relaxation. It's amazing what we can do with our brains with practice.
00:53:12.180 --> 00:53:12.950 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: That's right.
00:53:13.160 --> 00:53:14.890 Terrie Weaver: Do whatever thing, I was the…
00:53:14.890 --> 00:53:17.549 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: New normal mic wave.
00:53:17.550 --> 00:53:22.429 Terrie Weaver: my mind and thoughts all over the place, I am able to really hone in.
00:53:22.650 --> 00:53:40.560 Terrie Weaver: And I can even use it to focus on a task, as you were mentioning the favorite song list. I highly encourage everyone to do that. If you're ever feeling a downward spiral, just pull that out and play it. Your favorite songs, they hold so much energy.
00:53:40.560 --> 00:53:47.250 Terrie Weaver: so much momentum, really, to propel you forward and get you out of there. It's like a rescue.
00:53:48.680 --> 00:53:49.110 Terrie Weaver: So, sounds…
00:53:49.110 --> 00:53:51.080 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: That's a perfect way to put it, yes.
00:53:51.080 --> 00:54:09.379 Terrie Weaver: And people know it, I mean, look, you know, even depressed, you know, people who are depressed naturally gravitate towards sound. People listen to music, and they naturally gravitate towards instruments being played. There's just harmony and an elegance to music that lures us all in and soothes us.
00:54:09.380 --> 00:54:11.530 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: It's very comforting. It really is.
00:54:11.530 --> 00:54:13.220 Terrie Weaver: So when you do it mindfully.
00:54:13.520 --> 00:54:20.700 Terrie Weaver: you just give it that extra oomph and power, and also tap into your own inner… inner knowings.
00:54:20.700 --> 00:54:21.320 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Absolutely.
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:26.160 Terrie Weaver: Facilitate your own healing. I mean, I can't believe I'm sitting here telling you I'm 100% better.
00:54:26.370 --> 00:54:32.959 Terrie Weaver: Would you believe it if I told you that my thyroid medication I was taking had yellow dye in it?
00:54:33.430 --> 00:54:39.010 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Oh. So those daily hives I was waking up with every morning, they were from my thyroid medicine, right?
00:54:39.870 --> 00:54:41.120 Terrie Weaver: But it's, you know.
00:54:41.120 --> 00:54:44.989 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: It's so funny, it's in so many things that we don't think about.
00:54:45.410 --> 00:54:48.450 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Eyes, and the chemicals.
00:54:48.680 --> 00:54:49.550 Terrie Weaver: It is.
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:59.979 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: People don't realize the effect that some of the things we're exposed to on a daily basis, the effect that those things are having on our bodies.
00:54:59.980 --> 00:55:15.159 Terrie Weaver: that we are even exposed, or that we are even exposed in the first place. If it wasn't for the sound healing and the grounding, I would not have been able to tune in to that as being the cause of what was the most miserable period of my life, feeling out of control, and…
00:55:15.160 --> 00:55:26.239 Terrie Weaver: Having to take time off of work, and not being able to do things, having to swim every… almost every day. I was in the pool almost every day, just trying to cope, just trying to get my body to settle down, because I just didn't know.
00:55:26.290 --> 00:55:32.199 Terrie Weaver: But I… I mean, it took me a while, but I figured it out, and I owe my life to…
00:55:32.230 --> 00:55:50.569 Terrie Weaver: you know, my livelihood to sound healing and grounding, because those two together really were the fork in the road for me to, to wellness. And I'm so grateful. At this point, looking back, I'm thankful for the hives, because it brought me in tune with myself and with the earth, and it taught me to be mindful.
00:55:51.270 --> 00:55:56.420 Terrie Weaver: And to open my mind to different modalities that I might not have ever considered before.
00:55:56.720 --> 00:56:06.750 Shervon Laurice | The Expansion Room: Exactly, exactly. Well, thank you so much for being here, and for sharing your story, and your expertise about sound healing.
