He hecho una selección de mis diapasones favoritos acompañados con unas breves explicaciones, intentando hacer un mix cientifico pero comprensible de algunos de los usos de los diapasones. Mi maestro me aconsejaba que siempre diera una base científica de lo que mostrara, libros y nombres de las personas que me han influido o de las que directamente me han enseñado, así que eso intento aquí. Seguiré profundizando más en este interesante mundo de la sanación a traves de frecuencias de vibraciones energéticas, reestructuración de ADN, limpieza de Aura, y armonización en general del ser.
El primer contacto con este conocimiento vino a través de mis estudios de sonido en el SAE allá por el 2004 o así. Más tarde, apartir del 2012 en mis investivaciones personales sobre el sonido y de archivos desclasificados de la CIA di con el punto de partida de hacia dónde me iba a dirigir los siguientes años. Reflejé en el proyecto Mutantes del 2015 parte del desarrollo de estos conocimientos, di con una chamana que a su vez me conectó con el primer curso que recibí sobre el uso terapeútico de los diapasones, continué impartiendo algún taller y practicando con amigxs. Seguí profundizando en los estudios y las prácticas hasta el día de hoy de manera más profesional. En la actualidad estoy desarrollando un proyecto que abarca desde el sonido de los diapasones directo sobre el cuerpo fisico a la materializacion del sonido a través de grabaciones para poner en práctica binaurales y una serie de experimentos que seguiré explicando en otros post.

Les hago mix con un poco de info sobre algo que a priori a lo mejor no relacionan, pero a raíz de estos conocimientos yo di con la clave de lo que estoy desarrollando al dia de hoy. Algunos me toman por loca, otros me toman de ejemplo

Manifesting with water
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Do you want to know the easiest way to manifest?
If I told you it's possible to manifest with water would you believe me?
Well, this is actually true! Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that water exposed to negative stimuli took a disorganized form, meanwhile the samples exposed to positivity were beautiful, perfectly formed and organized.
But what does that mean?
Thoughts and affirmations can change water!
So how can we apply this to our manifestations?
Not only is this proof that your thoughts and words CAN change your reality, but also water can be a powerful manifestation tool!
I'm sure you can find countless ways of implementing water to your practises on tumblr, tiktok and other platforms, however I think many of them are really unnecessary. You really don't have to spend hours meditating in front of a glass of water, doing a whole ritual with 100 other ingredients etc. If you like to do it that way then great, do it. However I found 2 ways that will take you just a couple of seconds or minutes to do.
1.Affirming before drinking water.
If your a living being I can assume that you DO drink water, so why not take this advantage and use it as a manifestation tool? You're going to drink water anyways. This method will take you seconds to do. Get a glass (or anything you can drink from) of water. Then you're going to say an affirmation. I personally recommend saying one affirmation everytime you drink for some period of time (for example a day, a week). Say your affirmation like you mean it, feel the emotions and drink it. That's it. SO EASY!
2. A cleansing shower.
If you are struggling with manifestation this will be the one for you! It works for everything, but I think it's the best for working on your self-concept, so for this example we are going to focus on releasing blocks.
Go take a shower. Feel the water on your skin and imagine it cleansing your soul, when you wash your arm, imagine cleansing negativity and a white light emitting from your skin. While you're doing this affirm your favourite affirmation. I usually go for "I am free from any limiting beliefs". Continue to affirm, feel the blockages go away.

Eleven Method
i recently rewatched stranger things from season 1 to season 4 and took note of how el went to the void…and kinda made my own spin on it and found that the method actually worked for me..lmao and no you are not going to drown yourself in saltwater haha ok
1-as always you can prepare
if you want feel free to do any type of meditation/and or listen to asmr to relax you (optional)
2.the water placebo…(this is where your self concept/manifestation skills come in)
quick backstory i discovered the law march 31st of 2021 it met me when my life was the lowest of lows so when i find out i can change it just by flipping my mindset and putting my entire faith in a method or two i thought oh well..have nothing to lose now..as i continued to do research on the law it reminded me of a memory/practice taught to me by my dad growing up that till this day i still practice and stand by with full faith..my dad handed me and water bottle peeled of the paper and told me that that water carrie’s energy..be careful what you speak while holding a cup of water because “it hears you” sounds a bit creepy? well he actually isn’t entirely wrong..there was a experiment that a doctor by the name of Dr.Emto did speaking negatively-to positively over a bowl of water and took pictures as to how the following affirmations effected the the crystals within the water..i’ll link and article but please research more on this topic because it is very interesting (search “talking over water experiment”) anyways i had realized that i have been manifesting like this for years..ever since i was 10 years old my dad always told me..make a wish upon your water..be grateful for every drop of water you come across your life because it can “feel and hear” ..once i became re aware of this last year i began to consciously manifest with water and BOIIIIII can i tell you water is such a powerful method to bring on desires (i’m selective with when calling a method powerful because at the end of the day it starts with our minds not the method but you know what i mean) so how can i apply this to the void.. i took a bottle of water and spoke void concept/void affirmations over it such as “i always wake up in the void” “entering the void is as easy as sleeping” “i always wake up with all my desires” “my body prefers waking up in the void every morning” etc…say it like you mean it now proceed to drink all of the water knowing for sure in the back of your mind all these affirmations are true…think of it as you are now getting your “super powers” of easily being able to command your state of consciousness in and out of the void LMFAOOO this sounds silly but trust me
3.You are now going to block as many as your senses as possible..smell..taste..touch…hear..see
uhhhh realistically we aren’t in labs and chances are you don’t feel safe entering the void in a bathtub and quite frankly i don’t blame you nor do i recommend (so please don’t lol) buttttt what i did was i put on these noise canceling headphones and a blindfold and to be honest that was more than enough to quite down my brain
4.Decide if you are going to wake up..or “go” into the void state
my first attempt i went into the void state 2nd i fell asleep and woke up in the void state (from a nap i haven’t tried overnight yet)
5.Going in?? read on
with your ears and eyes blocked (i used one of those sleeping mask things) i layed down on my bed and calmed myself down by breathing by for maybe a minute or two as i was doing so i began to imagine myself floating (el usually used her void to communicate/find/see peoples memories/spy so instead of doing so i imagined parts of my dream life/and or appearance/ and or the specific things i wanted to manifest in this void..for an example.. let’s say i was manifesting having clear skin i would imagine myself in first person walking towards the version of my self with clear skin or if i was manifesting a acceptance letter from a specific school i would imagine walking towards the letter and picking it up in the void..makes sense??? i hope so ..after doing breathing and visualizing for about 2 minutes….
..i didn’t even affirm for a long time..i literally just commanded that i was in the void one time and instantly couldn’t feel my body the blindfold on my eyes face nothing…i quickly affirmed for my desires and boom was out of there
6.Waking up?? Read on
don’t go to bed with noise canceling headphones i believe that isn’t safe but yeah feel free to wear the blindfold..but this is pretty self explanatory i just woke up in the void..at first it felt like a dream for a minute until i fully realized i was there but i quickly affirmed for my desire this time it was free front row tickets to see one of my favorite artist at the wireless festival and money so i can pay for the plane tickets and boom i had it once fully woken up
i really hope i explained everything in a way everyone understands and seriously do your research on that water experiment it’s actually quite interesting.
it’s all about intent and faith..as you go about this entire process remember your intention..going to the void..go live your life babes xx
Success story from anon

(TW/CW: violence against trans individuals)
TL;DR: The 2018 NHK dorama Life as a Girl totally moved me. I did not expect to be so moved and thrown by this short series about a transgender woman in Kobe. If you’re into rabbitholes involving either Shison Jun or Machida Keita, this is a MUST WATCH. LONG POST!
I wrote last week that in my Machida Keita rabbithole, I discovered through the Tumblr algorithm a 2018 drama that he co-starred in called Life as a Girl, playing the bumbling roommate of a transgender woman named Ogawa Miki (played by an unbelievable Shison Jun).
Like I wrote previously, I’m deeply impressed that NHK produced this show -- NHK has these edgy tendencies that they don’t let run REALLY deep, like TV Tokyo does with its late-night programming. But I think that NHK leverages its huge influence over Japanese television by delicately introducing topics of mental and physical health and acceptance through short bursts of creative dorama content, and getting just unbelievable actors to carry the topics through (doramas that come to mind include To Heal Wounds of the Heart, with the AMAZING Emoto Tasuku as a psychiatrist who treats clients after the 1995 Kobe earthquake; and Hoshi to Lemon no Heya, which focuses on hikikomori culture, and stars Kaho and Miyazawa Hio, who both just ate their roles). 
Life as a Girl establishes at the start that Miki has been living a confident life as a woman for a few years by the time we meet her. She is working in fashion, in a workplace that totally accepts her, and her immediate community -- her croquette vendors, the aquarium she visits after work -- all love and care for her. 
But Goto (Machida), a high school classmate looking for Ogawa Mikio, Miki’s previous identity, bumbles into her life after falling into debt and needing a place to live. The risks are obviously high for Miki -- she has no way of knowing how Goto will take and understand her transition since the school days, and even after she welcomes him into her home, he takes a few minutes to realize that Mikio has become Miki, and IS Miki, through and through. 
The show focuses on a few immediate themes, with more cropping up later on: 
1) That while Miki is confident on the outside, she is insecure and shaky about her immediate existence and future as a lesbian, particularly as she as not had any surgery at the moment we meet her
2) That with Goto in her life as her roommate, that she will have to experience cishet male culture again, and she notes how this affects her and her behavior
3) That Goto’s presence means that people from her past life as a boy/man will learn about the transition and have their own reactions (which episode two focuses on)
4) That Goto’s presence also makes her realize and reflect on her family’s acceptance, or lack thereof, of her identity
5) That her attraction to women forces her to confront that no matter what, even as a woman herself, she will not find the assumed societal stability that a non-lesbian in Japan would find in marriage with a man
6) That if she gets into a relationship with a het woman, that that het woman may end up leaving her to go into marriage in the end, which (spoilers) ends up happening with a woman that Miki dates in the short series
7) And finally, while this is not OVERTLY stated, it is somewhat implied in episode three, when Miki is briefly attacked by her cishet older brother, that transgender individuals are more at risk for attacks and homicides than cishet individuals.
Before I go on with my analysis of the show, I want to say that my first introduction to a viewpoint into transgender identities in Japan was through the 1993 translation of Banana Yoshimoto’s novel, “Kitchen,” first written in 1988. I didn’t read it until I was much older, already a teenager, so that was the late 1990s/early 2000s (yes, I am old, so old), in which the mother of one of the lead characters was previously his father, and this mother is murdered in a transgender club. 
The way in which transgender identities are treated in “Kitchen” are somewhat reminiscent of how I felt gay identities and culture were treated in the drama version of KinnPorsche by Kinn’s father, Korn, in that -- no huge deal was made about the decision that the co-lead character’s mother made to become a woman. The main character of the novel -- a young woman who has lost her entire family -- regards the mother as the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. And the culture in which the lead character is introduced to is treated quietly, with no reactions recorded at all, and acceptance being a given. It is simply accepted as a way of life in big cities in Japan, one way of life of millions being lived in the city everyday. And most importantly, the transgender individuals are only initially regarded as such -- and by the time their stories are fully told, they are family figures, and never outed again as “transgender” by the author. 
While “Kitchen,” I think, began to establish a line of acceptance for transgender identities and culture in Japanese art (and I am obviously missing plenty of works that certainly cropped up between 1988 and 2018), Life as a Girl allows us to dive specifically into the focus of a transgender woman ACTIVELY living the life that she has chosen, with her small chosen family around her. Miki keeps a blog, and her internal communication to herself is often peppered with pop-up hashtags of what she’s witnessing and summarizing about the world around her. We see the hashtags, many times in rapid-fire fashion, as she analyzes what’s happening around her and as she reads the people around her.
And she’s a master at reading people. When Goto literally bumbles into her life in episode one, Miki knows that it’s just a matter of time before Goto catches on that Miki was Mikio -- and he catches on, and is startled. But Miki’s coolness, her acceptance of Goto’s confusion, her watching him through his process -- she already knows almost all of what Goto will go through to realize that his schoolmate is no longer a man.
What catches and turns Miki, though, about Goto throughout the series, is that Goto only exists on a sincere level (he’s bumbling and foolish and kind of dopey, and VERY cishet -- but he’s deeply caring, and shows it). Slowly over the course of the four episodes, Goto sees the discrimination that Miki faces, and begins to develop a defense of how Miki lives her life -- which we see coming in full circle in the last episode of the series, when Miki is heavily discriminated against by a rich cishet male, and Goto stands up to him loudly and firmly. Miki runs away at that moment -- her coolness can’t tolerate the sheer sincerity of Goto’s loud defense and emotion in defending his friend and her decisions. 
We also see it in episode three, where by chance, Miki is sent to her hometown for a work assignment. While waiting for the train back to Kobe, Goto appears on the platform. Miki is in wonder -- why would Goto, of all people, be here? And Goto implicitly indicates -- it’s because he needed to be here for his friend, who may encounter unpleasantries while in her hometown. (More on this scenario in a moment.)
The way in which we learn a lot about Miki and her ability to survive the world around her is through the ways in which she attends goukon, or group blind dates, of which there are a number throughout the series. Not everyone at the goukons knows that Miki is transgender. But, Miki sets her sights and targets on the women in the group, automatically turning the tables on the socially implied nature of the setting that girls get with guys and vice versa. It’s at a goukon where Miki meets her girlfriend of the series, a young woman with a boyfriend in her country hometown, who is assumed to be with Miki in part because Miki has not transitioned surgically yet. 
At these goukons, Miki is fully engaged in her coolness about the people around her -- how they’ll behave, how simple cishet men are, how the women she’s attracted to will react when they are approached by Miki. 
But what I love about this show is that the foil from the goukons to her co-living existence with Goto forces Miki to face a deeper level of emotion about herself and what it means to be transgender in Japan. Goto’s quiet transformation to a devoted and ACCEPTING friend surprises Miki, and clearly surprises her throughout the show. It’s such a lovely, revealing reflection against the many, many, many defense mechanisms Miki has had to put up in order to survive. 
The other best example of Miki’s coolness colliding with sincerity from others was in episode two, when the bumbling Goto mistakenly invites another high school classmate (Mini-san) to visit Kobe and stay with them. Mini-san’s real intention to come to Kobe was not to relieve his depression, as he told Goto -- it was to find out if Miki, previously Mikio, was a monster (and the subs literally translate this concept as “monster”).
Miki knows what’s up. She already knows the discrimination that she’ll face from Mini-san. And she lets it go through its process, all while Goto is taken aback at Mini-san’s disgusting behavior. Finally, Miki makes her cutting diagnosis of the situation: she reveals that Mini-san is actually interested in cross-dressing, and aids him through his experimentations. This throws Goto -- and demonstrates to Goto that Miki’s warm heart is one that needs investing in.
Finally, the show deals with family acceptance. When Goto appeared on the train platform to accompany Miki home after her first visit to their hometown, I was deeply moved -- and that was before the appearance of Miki’s father and older brother, an older brother who was shown in flashbacks to have tormented the former Mikio as a young man for cross-dressing. 
I have to make a long post longer by processing the family scenes, because I thought it was deeply interesting in how Goto served as a go-between for Miki and her father, to help bring her father to a place of acceptance for Miki’s life. The father is initially presented as being surprised to see his former son as a woman, obviously, and the conversation is light at best -- but it’s clear that Miki’s father is relieved to see Miki healthy.
And Goto, in talking about Miki and their arrangement as roommates (which confuses the hell out of a lot of people, and I wish Goto had just used the word “roommates,” lord, but bumbly Goto didn’t ever do that), misgendered Miki’s pronouns to her father to talk about Miki. 
So as a progressive -- of course that made me wince. But as an Asian, with Asian parents -- I see why the writers had Goto do this. There is no way in living hell that my own parents could ever understand the culture around using correct pronouns. Their concept of reality is only focused on their understanding of their world around them. If a boy was born as a boy, that boy will always be a boy. My parents don’t have the cultural insight, leverage, or conceptual fortitude to understand anything else -- both in their refusal to understand different concepts, but also in the ways in which they’ve lived their simple lives over their lifetimes.
I believe the writers of the show had Goto click into that mindset. Goto was really Miki’s go-between at that moment -- a translator of sorts, from a cishet male to a cishet male, with Goto serving as the image of someone who had worked on gaining understanding and acceptance for who Miki was and how she lived her life.
That demonstration, in front of a family member who could have very well rejected Miki, was AMAZING to watch. And the appearance of Miki’s older brother, who bolted in with his discrimination in the process, judging Miki, attacking her, and railing on her appearance, was also a necessary foil to the moment. Goto stands up to the brother, and Miki also fights back, voraciously and vocally, stating with confidence -- I am a woman, I love fashion, and I have chosen the life I want to lead. 
And Miki’s father accepts it. At the end of the scene, he stands and accepts his daughter, calling her Miki. It was VERY reminiscent of the incredible scenes of acceptance at the end of the movie “His,” with Miyazawa Hio and Fujiwara Kisetsu, when older members of their small town vocally demonstrate their acceptance of a gay couple in their town. 
I think the show ended on a touch of a wiggly note, showing Miki continuing to live her life in kind of a more fun way than we had previously seen, and I think the show certainly could have gone down a more sickly-sweet sentimental route, considering this was on nationally broadcast Japanese television. But that’s a minor quibble. We need to see more transgender actors in roles, but I don’t think they could have cast this better. Shison Jun was absolutely SPECTACULAR as Miki, and he’s my new rabbithole; while Machida Keita ate his role as Goto, and for me, played the first cishet role I’ve been truly happy to see him in. He was cast and USED perfectly to set up how hilarious many cishet male behaviors are, and demonstrated a lot of what Miki left behind, culturally, when she became a woman. 
WHEW. This show tore me apart. I’m keeping it close, and not only for the Machida rabbithole (which, lord help me, will jack back up when I get the Cherry Magic DVD in mere days). Life as a Girl is a MUST WATCH, and I am definitely going to rabbithole more into transgender-focused content from Japan in the coming months.
