The Sound of Unity: E

(waves crashing) Hi there friends, happy to be with you again. We've been exploring this world of sounds through the different vowels and we have looked at all the simple vowels that we can produce from our throat right up to our lips. Now, what would happen if we started combining those vowels and coming to a little more complex variation of the sound? So what I mean is, when we go from the sound ah to the sound E, what happens? Try that out.

Ah Eh E. Did you catch the sound in the middle? I'll do it once more and pay attention to the sound that comes in the middle. Ah Eh E. So the sound Eh, which was in the middle there has the vibrations from ah to Eh and Eh to E.

So it also shares the vibraty effect of both the simple vowels ah and E. The sound Eh therefore is the sound of unity. It is the sound which is also known as womb sound because it contains that unified element within itself. So the sound Eh is a sound of unity, of union. It is the descending creative force.

It represents the primal forces in the original condition even before manifestation. That's what the sounds are supposed to reveal to us. But let's see what we can discover through our own experience. So close your eyes, take a deep breath, and make the sound Eh. It's the Eh as in bake.

Okay? We'll do it together. Close your eyes, (breathing in deeply) take a deep breath, Ehh. Let's try accompanying the sound with a gesture. So the action that I would recommend is this experience of unifying.

Se we're gonna unify our two palms together in the gesture of namaste and I'd like to share with you also the benefit of this particular gesture because our right palm has nerve endings connected to the left brain lobe and the left palm has nerve endings connected to the right brain lobe. Usually there is only a small bridge that connects them. So when we do this particular gesture of prayer we are in a sense physiologically completing a lot of nervous circuits. And then when we add powerful sounds to that gesture then it dynamizes all these circuits within our being. So we are going to do the sound Eh by consciously observing our palms first, recognizing that these palms represent all these nerve endings, then closing our eyes and as we do the sound Eh, join the palms together and then with a downward movement carry it all the way into the earth.

All right? Ready? So, open your palms up, look at them and become aware of all the nerve endings that are there at the surface of your palms, close your eyes, take a deep breath, close your palms, and then do the downward movement. Start, look at your palms, close them, take a deep breath, (breathing in deeply) Ehh. You can repeat this once more.

So look at your palms, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and do the sound Eh as you bring your palms together and then put it into the earth. (breathing in deeply) Ehh. This particular sound can be particularly helpful when we are feeling that there are certain things in ourselves that are not aligned and we seek to bringing a unity within ourselves. The bringing of unity and alignment of all the different vibrations of our being makes us like a laser light. And just the very fact that one exists in this unified nature has a certain ripple effect then to bring in unity even in our surroundings.

They say that when the Buddha would walk his alignment within was so great that it influenced two kilometers of radius around him. Think that over. Practice the Eh and feel the power within you. Thank you.
