Resonates?

Resonates, to me, rings true or rings right.

Now that doesn’t mean that right or true can’t change. But at the time, if someone says or does something that sits with my present understanding – it resonates.

Jeffrey Hollands conference talk, “Are We Not All Beggars” – resonates with me.

We bought two singing bowls in Nepal which are used in meditation, and they totally resonate. The sound enters your bones and vibrates. They are pretty amazing.

Singing bowls (also known as Tibetan Singing Bowls, rin gongs, Himalayan bowls or suzu gongs) are a type of bell, specifically classified as a standing bell. Rather than hanging inverted or attached to a handle, singing bowls sit with the bottom surface resting, and the rim of singing bowls vibrates to produce sound characterized by a fundamental frequency (first harmonic) and usually two audible harmonic overtones (second and third harmonic).[citation needed]

Singing bowls are used worldwide for meditation, music, relaxation, and personal well-being. Singing bowls were historically made throughout Asia, especially Nepal, China and Japan. They are closely related to decorative bells made along the silk road from the Near East to Western Asia. Today they are made in Nepal, India, Japan, China and Korea.

I took my daughter to a buddhist temple one Sunday where the instructor took two pieces of wood. He hit one piece of wood on his chair with a thud. And then to the railing in front of him. Loud but sharp sound. Then he struck the wood with the other piece of wood and in harmony, the two made an incredibly beautiful and ringing sound that was pleasant to hear.

His lesson to all of us: When you find the right place to be in your life…it sound true and beautiful. When you are in the wrong place, even doing the same action sounds dull or sharp and painful. We all have the right place to bring out our inner beauty, as we were meant to be.

That resonates.

R4H,

Ask someone you know who plays guitar (well) to show you how they tune the guitar using harmonics. It’s a thing of beauty when two strings ‘resonate’ with each other, and probably as good an object lesson as you can get on the topic.

I agree. And it drives home the point that both notes need to be perfectly in tune/properly spaced from each other to get the resonance.

I can’t just suddenly start using “resonance” now, so I’ll probably just stick with the annoying-even-to-myself Valley Girl “totally understand,” “totally agree.”

But, this is the place! Lots of resonating going on here. :thumbup:
