The word

Back 8

In the Gospel of John it says, “In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God and the Word was God…” In Genesis we find, “And God said, let there be light.” Notice that the phrase does not say something like, “And God made light to shine.” No, God produced light by saying something, by using the power of sound… The clear conclusion is that light was not the original or highest. It was sound. From sound came light, according to Genesis. – Thomas Ashley-Farrand

Both the Buddhist mantra Om Mane Padme Hum and the Ave Maria prayer were used in the study and are generally recited in a single 10-second breath cycle, corresponding to six breaths per minute. In contrast, the average person’s breath rate is 16 to 20 breaths per minute, according to Mehmet C. Oz, M.D., a cardiac surgeon at New York Presbyterian Hospital and director of the Heart Institute at Columbia University. “When your internal metronome slows, you get a variety of beneficial effects,” he says, “and you also lessen the risk of catastrophic events like heart attacks and strokes.” – Alison Rose Levy
