"Ah" - the breath - the first letter sound of the alphabet

Akara, the first letter of the Sanskrit alphabet, is the beginning of the Vedic literature. Without akara, nothing can be sounded; therefore it is the beginning of sound.
Hiragana
This is the first letter, of the Japanese alphabet, hiragana, A. It is pronounced "Ah" as in the 'a' in "fall, call and ball."

Music as Vibration and Power - The Keynote
Each individual's keynote is also influenced by the keynote of the astrological and planetary sign under which they were born. Although it manifests in matter, the keynote has a Spiritual Origin. Physically, the keynote emanates from the base of the skull at the medulla oblongata. For those sensitive enough to hear it, it is a droning sound similar to the buzzing of a bee. Eastern mystics call it 'Om' which they also consider to be the sound of the Universe.
The microcosm is the macrocosm.
Sympathetic Vibration
One simple way to rejuvenate and improve our health is to reinforce or 'tune up' our keynote through the use of sympathetic vibration.
Here is a simplified example of how sympathetic vibration, sometimes call 'resonant frequency', works. If you were holding a tuning fork and a friend stood near you while playing another tuning fork, soon the fork that you are holding would start to vibrate to the same note as your friend's fork. If your friend's note is played long enough loudly enough and aggressively enough, your friend could cause your tuning fork to shatter. Both tuning forks must be of the same pitch or key, otherwise they have no effect on each other. Only tuning forks that are similarly tuned will vibrate together or influence one another.
This is the principle that Joshua used in the Battle of Jericho.
By trumpeting the keynote of the walls, they were able to crumble the fortress.
Sympatric vibration has been understood by the military for ages. Every commander knows not to ever let his soldiers march across a bridge. Instead, they walk. If they were to hit upon the resonant frequency of the bridge, the vibration of their marching feet would literally trample down the bridge, destroying themselves in the process.
Vibration can destroy. But the reverse is also very true.
Playing the keynote in a soothing manner causes everything in the surrounding area that is of the same pitch to resonate. Everything that's on the same vibe begins to harmonize. Scientists established long ago that plants grow faster, larger and healthier when soothing music is played in their presence. Likewise, by listening to relaxing music played at the correct pitch, we strengthen the harmonization of our own keynote. The Spiritual bodies become energized and aligned, which vitalizes the etheric body (which in turn causes the rejuvenation of the whole person).
One of the many ways this is accomplished is by the regulation of brain chemicals like serotonin which are related to feelings of well being peacefulness.
By reinforcing our individual key notes, Soul Music vitalizes and strengthens our Spiritual and physical bodies allowing the Music of the Spheres to truly live within us. The stronger the note, the healthier the Spirit, the stronger the body and the longer the life.
Music as Vibration and Power - Resonance
Resonance, An object free to vibrate tends to do so at a specific rate called the object's natural, or resonant, frequency. (This frequency depends on the size, shape, and composition of the object.) Such an object will vibrate strongly when it is subjected to vibrations or regular impulses at a frequency equal to or very close to its natural frequency. This phenomenon is called resonance. Through resonance, a comparatively weak vibration in one object can cause a strong vibration in another. By analogy, the term resonance is also used to describe the phenomenon by which an oscillating electric current is strengthened by an electric signal of a specific frequency.
An example of resonance is provided by a motor that causes vibration in a piece of furniture in another part of the same house. These vibrations occur because the furniture has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the vibrations set up by the motor. The furniture is said to be in resonance with the motor. Resonance can also be observed in an automobile when a certain partan ash tray, for examplevibrates when the car is traveling at a certain speed. The ash tray is in resonance with the vibrations of the engine at that speed.
Mechanical resonance can produce vibrations strong enough to destroy the object in which they occur. For example, soldiers marching over a bridge can set up extreme vibrations at the bridge's natural frequency and shake it apart. For this reason soldiers break step to cross a bridge. In 1940 wind gusts at Puget Sound Narrows, Tacoma, Washington, caused a suspension bridge to vibrate at its natural frequency and the bridge collapsed.
In music, resonance is used to increase the intensity (loudness) of a sound. The comparatively weak vibrations produced at the end of an organ pipe, for example, cause a column of air in the pipe to vibrate in resonance, thus greatly increasing the loud-ness of the sound. This principle also applies to the human voice, in which the vibrations of the vocal cords are reinforced by resonant vibrations in the oral and nasal passages.
Electrical resonance is used to tune radios and television sets. Tuning consists of establishing a circuit with a resonant frequency equal to the assigned frequency of the desired station.
