While working in the 1990s as a professional violin-maker, I swore my clients to secrecy about my unusual abilities. I am able to dramatically alter violin sound without even touching the instrument. I regularly tune musical instruments for professional players around the country over the phone. I was living in the Washington, D.C. area where leaks are a part of the landscape, and I soon found the rumors to be even stranger than my skills. It was time to be public, to write a book and to begin teaching others how to change vibration using only the power of thought.

These skills are not just useful to transform the sound and playability of stringed instruments, they are also powerful tools for healing humans and animals. Because enhancing the sound of violins is audible, it shows the reality of this vibration-altering telepathic work. Working with violins also demonstrates to my students that they have effectively focused their consciousnesses in order to intentionally shift the world that appears to be outside of them.

Over the years I studied everything from Reiki to Brennan Healing Science -- graduating from Brennan Healing Science Training in 1997 -- but none of these healing modalities change audible sound. However, a hands-off dramatic acoustical shift in a violin brought about by using only the heart and mind offers immediate evidence that telepathic energy healing is real and that similar effects on people and animals are possible. It also supports claims for the effectiveness of healing at a distance

I now offer workshops to teach others these skills, with an eye toward increasing people's understanding of health and illness. My students observe for themselves that thought transforms physical reality and that space (distance) does not exist when working in these dimensions of telepathic healing. Most of my students are not musicians and they do not have a well-developed sense of sound discrimination, however they find they can hear the changes of violin sound as they learn these "tuning" skills in class.

I begin the class by showing students how to alter resonance and frequency while tapping a simple bowl. The students next work on each other to modify the tap pitches of various body parts. By the first afternoon they are ready to learn how to telepathically create more beauty of sound in violins, which they never physically touch, but hear others play after each tuning pass.

By the second day, I introduce those students who are grounded enough (their energy distributed throughout their body and connected to the earth) to using the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. These are keys into vibrations that create and alter physical matter. Use of these energies can greatly enhance the effects of telepathic healing and tuning. This is a topic I cover in much greater depth in the Level II class, which is taught on a different weekend some months following the Level I class. 

Teaching "Regular" People

In the beginning, my classes were filled with musicians, graphics artists, government lawyers, and the like. I was able to teach them to ground for the psychic work without much hair-pulling (theirs or mine). Most seemed to pick up the basic telepathic tuning skills in a weekend of intensive work, even though these abilities are not ones that most would have considered possible. (No wonder "The Twilight Zone" was my favorite TV show when growing up!)

I always include two violinists in each class and a number of violins so my students can hear that they are actually changing the sound of the instruments and it isn't just wishful thinking. My first class, many of whom had no background in any kind of healing work, physical or energetic, came for a second weekend and we got deeper into ways of working to mentally change audible and inaudible vibration.

Once a student learns to be fully in his or her body and not just concentrated on thinking and analyzing, it is possible to teach the next step: to have some control of one's own consciousness and how it can be used to change vibration.

My first Level II class departed after an intensive and fun weekend and the class members stayed in touch with each other by e-mail. Within two weeks, working as a group, they fixed two broken wrists. Both healings took place within three hours of the original e-mailed request.

The first was a young woman who had served as the graphics designer for my book Ears of the Angels, and who also had completed that level II class. She had been straining to cut a thick tree branch with the wrong tool when suddenly she heard a crack. The pain let her know the source of the cracking sound - it was not the wood. A bone in her wrist was clearly out of place and she could not move the damaged joint in any direction. Her chiropractor examined the sorry limb. He insisted it was broken and that she needed to get an x-ray immediately. Instead, she e-mailed her class. Three hours later, she was able to move her wrist normally and with no pain. Her chiropractor was very surprised but still concerned and urged her to go for an x-ray. However, she felt healed and returned to her life as usual. Well, maybe a little less usual. Anyway, her wrist is still doing fine.

A week later the same chiropractor received a call to pick up his son from school. According to the school authorities his son's wrist had just been broken. The chiropractor delayed going for the x-ray of what again appeared to be a broken wrist. Instead, he called my graphics friend who immediately emailed her classmates. Three hours after the e-mail was sent out, the boy's wrist regained its range of motion and the pain had evaporated. The chiropractor didn't take his son in for an x-ray even though he had been so adamant that his injured client should get one.

Teaching Differently Able Adults: Physicians

Eventually, courtesy of an article about my work by Dr. Christiane Northrup in her Health Wisdom for Women newsletter, and another by Swaha Devi in Body and Soul magazine, I began to attract MDs to my classes.

The doctors reminded me that once upon a time I too experienced my life through the filter of my very analytical brain. I too had not appeared a natural talent for the sort of work I do now. I had been a science kid, winning a trip with my immunology project to a National Science Fair while in high school. I was later a pre-med student and majored in neurobiology at Cornell. Rearranging my consciousness was not an overnight job. In fact I used to call myself a "psychic brick." And now, too many years and carbs later, part of what I hope to do is show that the telepathic tuning and healing abilities are real, and teachable -- even to doctors -- and could greatly expand medical knowledge and treatment options.

The first MD to attend one of my classes was a psychiatrist. That was no problem. He was easy to work with, was well grounded, and had a flexible consciousness. He was as good as one of my very gifted students who introduced herself as "just a stinkin' hair dresser." Our lady of the tresses thought she pretty much was performing therapy work for her clients, so she might as well study healing. From what I have observed, it was an excellent choice.

More psychiatrists attended. So far so good. But then came the MD clinical practitioners who were focused on curing the body. They were wonderful, lovely, gifted and dedicated doctors for whom my class was somewhat of a shock. One wrote to me later that she thought she had "seen and dealt with most anything" . . . until my class. Although she had studied matters of the spirit, she was very much focused on what was needed physically to heal her patients. To teach her to change sound on a violin across the room took a bit more work on my part than usual. Her medical training and her clinical hands-on experience in some ways seemed counterproductive to the shifting of consciousness for telepathic tuning. She and the other "body" practitioners were used to being the final authority on matters of life and death. Their approach was stitch this, vaccinate that, remove the other -- with enormous responsibility resting on their shoulders. Interestingly, they did not have the kind of grounding needed for the telepathic work. It took some effort on all our parts until they were able to reach the required state.

One of my students, a professional violinist, made an interesting point. When I mentioned I noticed that it is easier to initially teach musicians this telepathic work than MD clinical practitioners, her comment was, "Musicians are used to dealing with the invisible." And perhaps psychiatrists are also used to dealing more with the invisible, making them more like the musicians; Maybe this is also true for the lawyers, graphic artists, and hair dressers.

Of course I am making a sweeping generalization, which at best cannot be applied to all cases. Besides, there are many doctors who are musicians. I myself am neither doctor nor musician. I am, or rather was, a violin-maker - possibly the worst case of all for learning this work as violin-makers tend to be embedded both in what they believe to be 300 years of "sacred" tradition and in making physical changes to wooden parts in tenths of a millimeter.

To illustrate my point: a psychiatrist who had attended my class brought her beautiful-sounding telepathically-adjusted fiddle to a stringed instrument shop for some physical repairs. She wrote to me: "I explained what I'd studied with you and who you are and what you do. 'You believe in that stuff?' the violin maker asked, the moment he understood what I was saying. Then he instantly added (before I had a chance to answer): 'Well, you're a psychiatrist, so of course you do!' (and waited for no response from me on either count)."

Perhaps it is a good thing to have come from the worst case myself. If I can do this work, there is hope for everyone else. So far everyone attending a weekend intensive has left with some telepathic sound tuning abilities.

In defense of my sweeping generalization about the extra energy and effort it seems to take in the beginning to train physically-focused MD practitioners in telepathic tuning, I have to wonder if this phenomenon is related to the statistics on "physicians who fly." Their records are the worst in the annals of the history of flying. Doctors who pilot their own private planes apparently have more crashes than any other group. (This is not the sort of grounding that is useful!) Could it be that having the final authority on life, death, and health in our culture creates that "I can and have dealt with most anything" perspective -- a view that in turn makes it harder to focus on flying, either mentally through states of consciousness or physically in an airplane? I don't know.

I do know that it is very important to train doctors who are open to this work. The psychiatrists and body-focused MDs who have studied telepathic sound tuning are noticing changes for the better in their practices. For example, one doctor who had completed my Level I course wrote that her tune-ups created a noticeable difference in every aspect of her practice. She was tuning the session of each patient even before the appointment started. She realized that she could feel whether the energy was going to be accepted or not. If the energy was accepted, the procedure -- such as a shot of local anesthetic -- went quickly and easily with little or no pain. Back pain, skin problems (such as poison ivy), and lacerations all healed much more quickly than in her previous experience. She injected one ganglion (lump on a tendon) with medicine and it disappeared between Friday and Monday. She had never seen one vanish so quickly. She also mentioned that 6 patients whose corneas had "pieces of metal blown into and stuck on the corneas" of their eyes visited her office in the space of three days, which is not a usual occurrence. Even more unusual was that instead of referring them to the ophthalmologist, she tuned the appointments and was able to quickly and easily remove the metal shards in five of the six cases. (The sixth case she referred to an eye specialist.) An exam the day after her procedures showed no visible abrasion or injury in the eyes of any of the five cases.

A psychiatrist who had completed Level I of my classes emailed me, "I often tune when I can't intervene any other way, or when I haven't been able to make a difference using a more conventional approach. I've seen some very positive results and have been told about others." One case she mentioned specifically was of a mother who was having parenting issues with her young daughter. This is a patient who had worked intensively in treatment for a number of years on various issues. Treatment had included psychotherapy, medications, complementary supplements, herbs, and spiritual work. When the psychiatrist realized that the problem involved in this particular issue stemmed from the patient's own childhood (when the patient was the same age as her daughter now was), the psychiatrist "tuned" the energy of the woman at the childhood age of her daughter. The problem with her present time daughter was immediately resolved.

Perhaps even more important than the individual healings is the understanding that is gained by observing or learning this work. Each of us has far more power than we realize to help ourselves and others as we go more deeply into how each of us creates and changes our reality with thought.

Finally, I do not wish to be too hard on the poor doctors, especially those open enough to attend my courses. By the Level II class, all the doctors (so far) have integrated the grounding and flexibility of consciousness and are doing every bit as well as my "regular" students. I am heartened that perhaps we really will make a significant change in the practice of medicine and the understanding of what lies beneath illness and health from a much greater perspective.

After thirty years as a violin-maker, I feel confident in saying that some of the violin-makers organizations make the American Medical Association look positively New Age. I have yet to have a single violin-maker attend my course!

Case: Daniel Benor

Editorial note: I asked Deena for a current clinical vignette to illustrate her work, along with the report of the person she helped -- in that person's own words. Deena was reluctant to do this, because of several issues. First, this would put pressure on her to perform, which would be contrary to her practice of sending healing to be used as needed by the higher self of the client -- unrestricted and unshaped by her own expectations or wishes. Second, not all results of healing work are observable on a physical level or are observable immediately. Many are, but sometimes the change of belief may take place over time, and then will be followed by physical metamorphosis. Third, in Deena's words: "Sometimes to have a freshly healed person think or write about the change when it's brand new brings up the client's fear of whether the new pattern (emotional and/or physical healing) will stay. As clients focus and concentrate on the situation to write or speak about it, if they bring in doubts or fears, the extra focus may create a backslide. I like my clients to just continue with life as usual, and let the change become the norm, not a big deal, just as soon as possible. Then, down the road it can be spoken of and written about once confidence in the shift has been raised by the passing of (our illusion of) time. It's like gluing a violin together, you have to leave it alone until the glue is dry or you'll end up with pieces of wood instead of a violin."

Although Deena's book has many examples of healings - written up by the client's themselves - I wanted something completely current since Deena continues to evolve her skills and techniques. I suggested that we put out a prayer wish that a person who is willing to share their experience should appear within the next week (as we were close to publication deadline), and that if this should come to us then it would be an indication we were to use this case in the article.

Within two days, I sprained my back in leaning over a table to place a book on a scanner. I had severe pain radiating into my left hip joinjoint – pain that took my breath away whenever I rose from a sitting position; pain that left me with no comfortable position when lying down. Over the next two days, I asked for help to sort out this pain (separately) from Deena and two highly gifted medical intuitives.

I then realized that I may have been the answer to my own prayer for someone to share their experiences of a Deena Spear healing in the IJHC. So here are the salient details partly from e-mails between Deena and myself. 

11/18/03

I e-mailed Deena about having the back pain and asked whether she would be willing to help me through her healing. She offered to work with me over the phone, which we were able to do immediately.

Deena had me count to five, sent healing for about a minute, and had me count to five again. My voice had deepened. She felt that was a positive sign. After about five minutes of healing in this way, the pain had significantly lessened.

When I asked Deena for her observations on my healing she replied:

"I can't say much about my side of the healing because there really wasn't one -- I just send to the "you" in my consciousness (this alerts you that there is energy available to you if you want to take it) -- and then the whole thing takes place on levels that are too fast to track. (They even zip for Marianne who sometimes watches and comments as I try out new techniques) I think I might have quickly scanned your energy at one point and decided to give you another zap as I felt some blockage in energy flow still but beyond that I don't remember much. I don't analyze during my healings. They take place on levels far beyond my linear brain's ability to follow or understand. Tracking your voice was more for you to hear that something was happening. It used to be important for me too until I weaned myself off of the need to hear it. These days I rarely speak to my clients (unless I'm tuning a musical instrument) -- everything takes place by email. I now have clients in places like Australia and China, so it's also much more convenient. Thank goodness there isn't really space/distance. I finally have my wish -- no need to dress for work."

Next morning:

Hi Deena,

Many thanks for the healing last evening. There was a distinct improvement.

It's still aching when I sit still for a period of time and then get up.

I'm fascinated by the change in voice! While people often comment on my calming tones, I've not been known for contributing in positive ways to musical productions. I love listening to music but can't sing on key. My piano teacher at age 6 gave up on me - with good reason. My first wife spent 4 hours (while we drove on our honeymoon) in efforts to teach me to sing happy birthday on key... to no avail. My daughters used to giggle and laugh, in fact, when I recited the Sabbath kiddush prayers.

I'll be most interested to experience more of this at your workshop!

Blessings

Dan 

Hi Dan - I'll keep sending - if your back doesn't clear entirely the next step is to find out what the issue is - also maybe sitting still for a period of time isn't serving either - just to honor certain root assumptions of physical reality.

All the best - Deena 

11/20/03

Hi Deena,

Thanks for the continued healing. Practical advice appreciated too.

I'm working now with a highly gifted medical intuitive who is helping me uncover and deal with layers of meanings

Blessings

Dan 

Hi Deena,

My back continues to improve.

Some of the underlying messages: In peeling the Sissyphusian onion of life, I've reached a layer of feeling I didn't want to be born. The amazing medical intuitive helped me connect (yet again) with my inner child, offer him love, accept his love.

On my own, in follow-up meditations, realizing I hadn't kept a promise to my inner child to spend time with him regularly. Needing to settle down to serious commitment to a practice of constant meditative awareness of my connection with the All.

I'm usually healthy, so a pain like this is a serious wakeup call to attend to spiritual business!

Q: If you heal houses of toxins, and seal unglued stringed instrument parts, could you seal a leaky basement?

Q: Here's a real stretch: Could you reach back in time and seal a leaky basement, so the indoor-outdoor carpet that is now smelly from mold will be free of its past that led it to mold? Perhaps this is the wrong focus, and the Q should just be to ask guidance whether they can suggest/ aid in finding a path to the desired outcome?

Thank you again for being there and for being you!

Blessings

Dan

Hi Dan - Okay - I hope you are ready for this!

Your back, your leaky basement, your moldy carpet are all the same issue. Remember in my paper when I mentioned first one must be grounded. All three of these things are outward world symbols created by you as a reflection of the need to build a more solid foundation within yourself. (You may be interested to know that Dr. Christiane Northrup just mentioned in her newsletter "Health Wisdom for Women" about fixing her leaking house foundation - so you are in good company.)

This all relates to the child who didn't want to come in -- you are comfortable in yourself only as far as the head and neck -- where you can think about things -- do them in the nonphysical levels. Now being mindful is fine, good and important, but it is possible to be mindful (which means staying in the moment) but still not see where you are resisting life (from the neck down - which is that little kid who didn't want to be born.)

So that moldy carpet, that leaking basement and that painful lower back are all physical symbols of resisting physical life. (You have created and projected them into the outside world to help you see.) The cure for the basement and the carpet is on the physical level, which in turn will help the emotional, which in turn will help your back.

This is one of those situations where the energy can support the shift of emotional energy pattern - but the real healing will be done by you - hire whom you need and physically rip out the carpet. Hire whom you need, put in basement drains, contour the land as needed etc. Not a band-aid type of job, but thoroughly so it never leaks again

The doing of those things is the saying - OK I am doing what I came to do - I am joining life fully. Then the lower back, the foundation in your body can completely heal. You are now ready to look at where you have resisted life.

This is a key step for you - it will change everything - and you will also then be out of the analytical head - because you will roll up your sleeves and participate in the physical level physically.

I hope you are still speaking to me (and smiling)! Sent with Love - Deena 

11/21/03

Thanks ever so much, Deena, for your helpful observations and suggestions.

I am always pleased to have further, deeper insights. Your stocks are up on my exchange list!

I must admit I was hoping that it might work the other way around - i.e. that in working on myself the external would be miraculously healed! No harm, I hope, in indulging in pushing-the-limits fantasies.

Blessings

Dan 

Hi Dan - Whew! Not always sure how these things will be taken! And you are absolutely right - as you work on the inside the outside changes. But in this case it is the changing on the outside that fixes the inside (and an inner kid not happy about that 'cause he considers physical reality a burden - that's the lower back pain - and would prefer a reality made of just the thought level - but chose to be here anyway - and now has to when-in-Rome-it in order to learn and have the value fulfillment he (you) chose).

I often wander around saying to myself "What was I thinking????!!" It is not that these things can't be fixed with energy - they can - but that only works when the mental/emotional healing shift is in place. (Otherwise fixing it poof is not healing because it is not in harmony with your highest good and intent in this case)

That's why I sometimes see these miracles in healing - the shift is almost there on the thought/belief/emotional level so my job is something like just add water and stir and voila - healer looks like a genius but in truth wasn't the one who did the real cooking.

You must have resolved or considered a change in a bit of the life-is-a-burden belief or your back wouldn't have gotten any better at all when I sent the energy - just got to keep going and I'll keep sending to support this so that as you look at physicality with a sense of adventure you'll be ready for handsprings.

Do I always do this? Heck No So I'm not judging here. We choose our challenges in the moment from levels where there is no mold and occasionally I find myself yelling at my entity or oversoul level - whatever one calls it - that I would appreciate a different choice of challenges (or none actually when I'm feeling especially like I just want to lie around and eat chocolate cake) as I'm the one having to live it here. Of course that's my resistance - doesn't help a bit but doesn't stop me from indulging in it either.

The envelope certainly can be pushed (Hey I tune violins over the phone) so long as it isn't in avoidance of what we chose to learn and experience here. Once learned - abracadabra - and on to the next thing.

A junior God's science fair project gone bad? Perhaps.

So here's wishing you a lovely day.

With appreciation

Deena's book Ears of the Angels chronicles her journey from violin-maker to energy healer and includes write-ups of healings from some of her clients' perspectives. A soft cover version published by Hay House (not on Deena's website) is available both in walk-in and on-line bookstores. The hardcover version, which contains an extra section (Part II) about the physical changes to violins, which were steppingstones to telepathic tuning, is published by Singing Woods Press and is available to order only on Deena's website. (Deena wanted a hard cover, acid-free paper, smyth-sewn version so something would still be available when the violin-makers are ready -- in a century or two.)
