Before getting into Planetary Harmonics and Bio-harmonic resonances, let us first explore the
octave of visible light, that which the human eye sees, and its relation to sound. The octave of
visible light, extending from the color red to the color violet, is forty octaves higher than the
middle audio octave, that which you would hear on a piano keyboard. Light, however, is
measured by its wavelength, whereas sound is measured by its frequency.
Frequency is a measure of how many waves occur in a given moment of time. The most common
unit of measure for frequency is the Hertz (named after German physicist Heinrich Hertz). One
Hertz = one cycle per second. A frequency of 60 Hertz means that there are 60 cycles occurring
in one second. People with computers often hear of Megahertz (MHz) or Gigahertz (GHz) (106
or 109 hertz, respectively) when referring to how fast their computer memory or hard drive
runs. The frequencies within the light octave are much faster than this.
If we were to raise middle C, which has a frequency of ~523 Hertz, by forty octaves (523 times 2
forty times), we would have a very high frequency of 5.75044581 x 1014 Hertz. That is 575
trillion cycles per second. Because of these unweilding numbers, light is measured by the length
of a wave (space) rather than how many waves are occurring in a second. A higher frequency

means that there are more waves occurring in a given amount of time, thus the waves become
shorter as the frequency becomes higher. Thus, Frequency and wavelength have an inverse

relationship. Professional Area Special Feature Videos Lunar Planner Home
Waves of light are quite short. For example, the center frequency of the color green has a
wavelength that is 0.0000005132 meters long (0.5132 x 10-6 meters). To make this easy, we
measure visible light (and interatomic distances) in a unit called the Ångström (Å) (named after
the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström). One Ångström = 1 x 10-10 meters (that is 0.1
nanometers). The colors of the visible spectrum are measured in thousands of Ångströms. As
shown in the following chart, the visible spectrum of light, that which the human eye sees,
extends from about 7800 to 7000 Å (red) to about 4000 to 3800 Å (violet); and some children
and some adults to 3100 Å (near UV)*. Also shown in the chart are the center wavelengths for
each of the seven basic colors; their corresponding audio frequencies; and the location of the
musical notes of an audio octave translated to the the visible spectrum.
* People whose visual range extends into the near UV can see deep shades of violet, whereas
those who cannot see near UV only see black.

To convert the middle audio octave to light (wavelength) we must first raise the note (frequency)
forty octaves (frequency times 2, forty times).
Bio-Harmonic Resources Professional Area Special Feature Videos Lunar Planner Home
Example: To convert middle A (440 Hz)to its corresponding wavelength in the visible spectrum.
First we must raise 440 Hz forty octaves (440 times 2, forty times).
Note: This is the same as 440 x 240 (2 raised to the 40th power), or 440 x 1099511627776.
Note: using the speed of light in air or the speed of light in a vacuum will yield slightly different
results.
Thus, when we raise each note in middle audio octave by forty octaves we find its corresponding
color harmonic. As shown in the chart below, the note "G" lies in the red area of the color
spectrum. The note "A" raised forty octaves lies in the orange part of the spectrum. The note "B"
lies in the lemon (yellow-green) part of the spectrum. The note "C" in the green band; the note
"D" in the turquoise-blue band; and the note "E" lies in the violet band. Notice that the note "F"
lies in the far violet area of the visible spectrum. This is near where the human eye range of
color perception begins to drop off (typically at about 4000 to 3800 Ångströms, although unique
to each person). The note F, when raised 39 octaves rather than forty octaves, lies in the far-red
/ early infra-red area, near the end of visual perception in the red area (~7800 Ångströms).
Because of this, the note F embraces the visible spectrum, and thus has some red and some
violet.

Planetary Harmonics
The astrophysical parameters of a planet are, in part, that which create its astrological
characteristic (psychophysiological resonance). An example chart of Earth's Harmonic Spectrum
is presented below. Earth's astrophysical parameters are shown translated to their
corresponding alpha brain wave frequencies, audio frequencies, and corresponding light (color)
wavelengths.
The fundamental frequencies of a planet are derived from the planet's astrophysical parameters
such as diameter, circumference, rotational velocity, orbital period, perihelion/aphelion
distances, orbital velocity, etc. These frequencies generally have very long wavelengths, thus
they lie in the very low frequency (ELF) and ultra-low frequency (ULF) range. Planetary
harmonics govern natural long-term biological growth patterns, monthly and yearly biological
processes, and daily brain and psychophysiological function.
Like audible sound, brainwaves are measured in frequency, were as light is measured by its
wavelength. The mid-audio octave is six octaves up from the alpha brain wave octave, and, as
presented above, the visible octave of light (color) is 40 octaves up from the mid-audio octave.

When we think of a color of light, generally we are visualizing a narrow band of many
frequencies (wavelengths) that comprise a single color or shade of color. In the chart shown
above, the center frequency (wavelength) of each of the basic colors is shown, as well as their
corresponding audio and brain wave frequencies. Also shown is the conventional musical scale,
which reveals where each note lies with respect to the colors in the light spectrum.
The following chart shows the fundamental Earth harmonics in light, sound, and brain wave
frequencies. All of these frequencies (and many more) create Earth's unique "Harmonic
Signature."
"Spacial" astronomical parameters, such as the distance of a planet from the Sun or Earth, its
diameter and circumference, to name a few, have harmonic resonances just like "time-related"
parameters, like the orbital period of planet (its year); or its rotational period (its day). All of
these parameters create a planet's complex "harmonic signature." That is why it makes little
sense to say a planet resonates with one specific frequency. The harmonic signatures of all of
the planets in our solar system, as well as a myriad of ever-changing resonances occurring
between the planets, as well as those created by their ever-changing cycles with each other,
produce our Solar System's Grand Evolutionary Symphony in which all life on Earth evolves.
This is the "harmonic environment" in which every biological rhythm breathes and evolves.

The 7.83 Hz. Schumann Resonance figure that many people hear about is a number made
popular by researcher Robert Beck whose work on ELF signals, Earth resonances, and their
affect on brain wave frequencies was presented at a U.S. Psychotronic conference and published
in late 1970s. He reported that 7.83 Hz is a brainwave frequency often detected when psychics
are in their intuiting mode. Others following his work proclaimed the Schumann Resonance to
be 7.83 Hz., although this has led to some confusion as to the true nature of the Schumann
Resonances (yes plural), and to the assumption that Earth herself resonates at this one
frequency, which it does not.
In actuality, there are several frequencies between 7 and 50 Hertz that compose the Schumann
Resonances. These frequencies start at 7.8 Hz and progress by approximately 5.9 Hz. (7.8, 13.7,
19.6, 25.5, 31.4, 37.3, and 43.2 Hz.). These resonances are NOT composed of fixed or specific
frequencies any more than the collective mood of human surface consciousness is fixed.
Changes occurring in these frequencies are quite normal and do not indicate anything out of the
ordinary. All of these frequencies fluctuate around their nominal values. For example, the
fundamental Schumann frequency fluctuates between 7.0 Hz. to 8.5 Hz. These frequencies vary
from geological location to location, and they can even have naturally occurring interruptions.
These frequencies were reported by Schumann in 1952, he reporting the lowest in the group to
be about 10 Hz. They were later measured by the National Bureau of Standards at Boulder
Colorado in the 1960s where the 7.8 Hz nominal figure was confirmed along with the 5.9 Hz
progressing overtones.
Nikola Tesla also measured and reported these frequencies and their power levels, predating
the work of Schumann by 50 years. Tesla, however, reported the first four resonances only. They
included the 7.8 Hz fundamental, a 14.1 Hz second harmonic, a 20.0 Hz third harmonic, and a
25.0 Hz fourth harmonic—all very close to the measurements made later. Source: "The

* A part of Earth's upper atmosphere is ionized plasma caused by the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
This layer, the ionosphere, couples Earth's outer magnetosphere with Earth's inner neutral
atmosphere.
The Schumann Resonances fluctuate around their nominal values because of slight variations in
the size of the ionospheric cavity. The ionospheric layer breathes due to variations in solar
cycles and solar activity, fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field, and other deep space ionizing
effects. This in turn changes the size of the cavity, which in turn creates variations of the
frequencies resonating within that cavity.
The Schumann Resonances are also a part of the many frequencies that create Earth's
"Harmonic Signature."
The 7.8 Hz. Schumann fundamental frequency is quite close to Earth's 7.5 Hz. circumference
harmonic (calculated using the speed of light at Earth's surface). It is also close to 8 Hz., an
ideal natural number from a mathematical perspective (see Pythagorean Scale above). Because
of all of these factors, the 7.83 Hz. frequency, the 7.8 Schumann Resonance or an 8 Hz.
frequency, had been proclaimed by some to be an ideal frequency to attune to, and that to
electronically generate a frequency in this range may even protect us from unwanted harmful
frequencies—a point upon which I, any many others, tend to differ and which I elucidate upon in
the "Light and Sound for Healing" section below.
The fundamental 7.83 Schumann frequency is however our fundamental alpha brainwave
frequency, and the cerebrospinal fluid (nearly 100% water) in the ventricular cavities in the
brain resonates with and amplifies this signal. This is why it is essential to live in ways that are
attuned to Earth, free from entraining man-made electromagnetic pollution.
To support our greatest well being, and to make possible our evolution and spiritual awakening,
we must allow ourselves (and our brainwave patterns) to breath in concert with mother Earth
and with her natural cycles moment-to-moment. The Earth is a spherical receiver of cosmic
energy (evolutionary intelligence) which directs our biological process and spiritual evolutionary
unfoldment. The Earth re-radiates the cosmic information it receives from its core outward in
complex long-wave signals. We receive these signals via our spinal columns and cranial
structures (a vertical antenna system). The cranial cavity, the capstone to this antenna captures
this information and re-focuses it to the pineal gland, a neuro-endocrine transducer in the
center of the brain, where it is then transmitted (via the hypothalamus) as signals that direct the
pituitary gland, the master control center of the brain. These signals are further distributed via
the rest of the neurological system.

Signals in nature breath and meander. Only man-made signals are well-defined sign-wave
frequencies. It is possible to entrain the brain with artificially generated signals in a matter of
seconds, and at a cost. We are not intended to function at one specific frequency. Entraining
ourselves with artificially generated frequencies for extended periods, whether 8 Hz or by the
50 and 60 Hz power fields and radio frequency polution we live in, can be debilitating and is
dangerous. It can create degeneration, disease, and mental, emotional, and physical disharmony
and imbalance. Most importantly, it can keep us from receiving and integrating the cosmic
intelligence provided by mother Earth in a harmonious way. That intelligence is responsible for
our evolutionary awakening. It is more important now than ever to be attuned to Earth and the
natural cycles of nature—our entire astronomical harmonic environment—for our optimal
health, our mental, emotional and physical stability, and our spiritual awakening.
Although there are many other parameters creating each planet's "harmonic signature," the
following chart is a comparison of the four basic parameters of each of the primary planets:
rotation and sidereal period (time), and circumference and diameter (space). Corresponding
brain wave frequencies, middle octave audio frequencies, and light wavelengths are shown for
each planetary parameter.

Notice the close resonance between Jupiter's circumference harmonic and Pluto's
circumference harmonic, and between Jupiter's diameter harmonic and Pluto's diameter
harmonic. Astrologically, Jupiter and Pluto work well together, this being one indicator of why
this is so. The same holds true for Pluto and Mercury. Many interesting correspondences can be
found when exploring planetary harmonics. Another example is the close resonance between
Mercury's rotation harmonic, and Neptune's sidereal period harmonic. An in-depth presentation
of this research and work which I began in the mid-1980s, I may publish in the future.
The following material reveals how to adjust the pitch of the conventional musical scale so it
resonates to different planetary harmonics—in this case, Earth or Venus. Composing music in a
pitch resonant to Venus, for example, can bring out an entirely new expression and an entirely
new response from the listener.
The following two charts show musical octaves adjusted to the planetary harmonics of Earth and
Venus. The first chart is more educational in nature. It shows the conventional musical scale, the
Pythagorean musical scale, and a musical scale shifted to resonate with Earth's mean
circumference.
The Pythagorean musical scale is simply based on whole number progression of 8 Hertz as the
fundamental frequency to create the note "C." That is, 8 Hz. raised 6 octaves is 512 Hz. This
drops the pitch of the conventional musical scale—from middle C being 523 Hz. to middle C
being 512 Hz. Eight hertz is very close to the Schumann Resonance of 7.8 Hz.
The musical scale based on Earth's circumference drops middle C yet further, down to 479.104
Hz.

Distance 726.66 Hz 3751 Å (near UV)
note "G" adjusted to this harmonic. The scale
based on the sidereal (orbital) period of Venus has the note "A" adjusted to this harmonic.
This last scale may be the easiest for musicians to explore for reasons discussed below. This
scale raises the note "A" from the conventional 440 Hz. to 442.38 Hz. To compose music in this
slightly higher pitch can provide a quite interesting experience. Because "A" is the primary note
in this scale (resonant to the Venus sidereal period), it may be of interest to explore composition
in the key of A, or with emphasis on A.

Obviously it is not possible to change the pitch on all musical instruments, but the pitch can be
changed slightly on some reed and string instruments, and on some synthesizers. Because the
pitch is shifted the least amount based upon the Venus Sidereal Period, it may be the easiest one
for most musical instruments to easily accommodate.
More sophisticated synthesizers may provide the capacity to vary the pitch to accommodate the
other scales, and some may even offer the ability to program the frequency of each note
individually (which provides a means to create non-conventional scales with the planetary
harmonics). Either way, there is the need to have a frequency readout of at least one note to
adjust the pitch control of the synthesizer. If a synth does not have this feature, it is simple to
connect a "digital frequency counter" for this purpose. (Ask your local electronics' wiz to help).
To adjust an acoustic instrument, simply use a microphone (and amp if required) fed into a
"digital frequency counter."
There are many ways to explore the use of Planetary Harmonics. Applying them in musical
composition is a safe approach. However, caution should be exercised if using any electronically
generated frequency for a sustained period.
My exploratory research in the 1980s using specific colors, sound, and geometry tuned to the
planetary harmonics was extremely affective at stimulating mental, emotional, and physical
response for healing purposes. The different harmonic parameters of one planet also have
different effects as well (too involved to discuss in this introductory presentation). The use of
specific frequencies in this more focused way should be explored only by those who have a
thorough understanding of pioneering medicine; light-sound technologies; mental, emotional,
and physiological correspondences; and the "healing crisis" process.

frequencies can
trigger or accentuate any "condition of weakness." If a person has a thyroid condition and
suppressed anger, certain frequencies may trigger this condition and enrage the person. If a
person has a thymus (heart chakra) immune weakness and suppressed fear, sustained man-
made frequencies can trigger and hold that person in extreme paranoia. (This type of
entrainment already occurs due to the 50 and 60 Hertz electromagnetic fields people live in
daily and the electronic devices they live with—including TV's and computers.) For this reason,
and when using frequencies for healing purposes, specific frequencies (especially in coordinated
color and sound), should be used in sequences or progressions designed to bring a person
completely through a healing crisis rather than simply trigger the condition, or worse yet,
sustain it.
