Some of the key takeaways are that resonance can trigger quantum events and induce changes in consciousness, and that living systems like cells can act as resonating bodies. Meditation and focused attention can also create resonant effects.

Resonance occurs in living systems when they are driven to oscillate at specific frequencies, such as through vibrations in the form of waves. This can happen through interactions between systems or through external forces. Brainwaves also exhibit resonance properties.

Examples of how resonance is used therapeutically include healing practices that use chanting and prayers to create resonant interference patterns, as well as non-local resonance effects from prayer. Meditation has also been shown to have therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Resonance can trigger of a series of quantum events and therefore induce several changes related
to consciousness at micro as well as macro level within a living system. Therapeutic effects have
been observed in several religious meditative and healing practices, which use resonance in the
form of chanting and prayers. A living system may have many resonant frequencies due to their
degrees of freedom, where each can vibrate as a harmonic oscillator supporting the progression
of vibrations as waves that moves as a ripple within the whole system. A cell as an organism or
cells in multicellular organisms act as resonating bodies that trigger of oscillation of oscillatory
proteins of the cytoskeletal network. The resulting protein conformational changes generate a
conscious moment that is regulated via electron tunneling, delocalization and superposition in
space time geometry. Consciousness or sentience are phenomenal characteristics of every cell
and even though we don’t know the “why” we surely can predict and hypothesize the “how” of
consciousness to be quantum computed, which enables the cell to understand and judge
perceptions giving it a prospect to behave as per will.
Key Words: Resonance, meditation, quantum, consciousness.

Introduction
Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when a given system is driven by another vibrating
system or external force to oscillate with greater amplitude at a specific preferential frequency
(Wikipedia). Vibrations travel in the form of waves and can interact at any given point of time in
the universe and so is the possibility of it being absorbed within a living system. Resonance is
used as a medium to transfer power into all kinds of waves ranging from lasers to microwave
ovens and musical instruments. The brain works on electrical activity which exists in the form of
brainwaves ranging from high amplitude, lower frequency delta waves to low amplitude, higher
frequency beta waves (Zhuang et al 2009). The Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) predicts that
all conscious states are resonant states but not all resonant states are conscious states for it has
yet to be proven (Carpenter and Grossberg 2003). Similarly, the Phase Conjugate Adaptive
Resonance (PCAR) theory, proposes this form of resonance that occurs in living forms created
through the processes of quantum entanglement and which results in an instantaneous exchange
of information (Mitchell and Staretz 2011).
Resonance occurs when an object is vibrated at its natural frequency or naturally occurring
frequencies. The technique of healing is a best example of resonance, where healers focus on
their subjects to create a resonance interference pattern resulting in a healing effect, attributed to
the supernatural. Similarly, when people pray for others they initiate a non-local resonance

process which may result in a positive effect due to focused attention. Brain regions associated
with attention and sensory processing were found to be thicker in persons who would meditate
daily in comparison to persons who would not, and the thickness of these areas increased with
increasing years of mediation practice (Lazar et al 2005). In deep meditative states, the
oscillators bring about a creation of standing wave within the body, which is the natural vibration
frequency of the body that gets amplified due to the presence of a same frequency vibration from
another body which may be living or non-living.
A living form is made up of water and therefore is a damped oscillating system, where water
brings about a damping effect by reducing the energy carrying capacity of the resonating waves
(Jenkins 2011). The phenomenon of resonance creates an increase in the extent of oscillations of
the oscillators present within the living form e.g. proteins (Julicher 2001). According to quantum
physics, there is no empty space between two objects; this vacuum is the Zero Point Field (ZPF)
which propagates vibrations as forms of quantum fluctuations at specific frequencies (Puthoff
and Little 2010). Vibrations as resonating waves creates interference patterns which may be
constructive if the frequencies are similar and destructive if the frequencies are not similar. A
constructive pattern would result in an enhanced positive effect while a destructive pattern would
result in reduced negative effect. The holographic model by Pribram suggests that the brain acts
like a frequency analyser and filter, which allows the brain to use what it needs preventing an
overexposure which may be an event occurring at a cellular level (Pribram 1999). Animals
without auditory features, identify complex sounds by segregating them into their constituent
frequencies which is a feature achieved by vertebrates through selective tuning of
mechanosensory hair cells.
Does resonance play a role in cognition and does it support consciousness at cellular or
multicellular level? Consciousness generated through quantum computing by means of the
ORCH-OR model suggests microtubule vibrations that resonate within the tubules to generate a
stream of consciousness (Hameroff and Penrose 2014). Resonant vibrations in megahertz and
kilohertz frequencies have been recorded within single microtubules and bundled microtubules
inside the neural cells which correlate well with the quantum computed process of the ORCH-
OR model (Pitkanen 2014). Ordered water on the microtubule surfaces and the internal hollow
core of the tubules have also been suggested to enhance transmissions through quantum based
optical modes calculated by its Frohlich coherence. Electron tunnelling, exciton hopping, long-
range classical and non-local quantum processes involving entanglement, superposition and
quantum computation is possible within the cytoskeletal structures is due to the lattice-based
geometries that exist within these structures (Hameroff 2013) and are triggered by the resonant
waves absorbed.
Electromagnetic impulses of apt frequencies can produce resonance at cellular levels and may
stimulate a variety of functions within the cells that may have propounding effects visible at the
exterior. Quantum based models such as the ORCH-OR theory when applied at cellular level has
helped sort the “how” of consciousness and cognition which may not be wholly related to neural
cells but definitely influences the biological cellular network through resonance. Alzheimer’s
disease is caused due to cognitive dysfunctioning, and its main cause is the disruption of the
microtubular Tau protein (Kolarova et al 2012) which confirms that microtubules act as
propagators for consciousness and cognition. Meditation and chanting is an art of managing
one’s own vibrations at a cellular level, which is not produced directly but is derived by a

summation of electromagnetic vibrations within the cells that can produce healing effects within
tissues and poorly functioning cells (Barnes 2015). Over time meditation produces permanent
changes in the state of the brain in relation to consciousness wherein higher level in activity of
the frontal cortices have been observed in regular meditators. It is a cognitive process that
induces relaxation, regulates attention and develops an attitude of detachment from one’s own
thoughts (Newberg et al 2010).
Modern science claims that biological systems are too warm, wet and noisy for quantum
processes to occur with the major problem being decoherence that has been discounted based on
the evidences of molecules to harness heat and energy that promote quantum states rather than
decoherence (Bhattacharya and Raha 2013). Resonance occurs without regard to distance or time
separations and without physical communications. Experiments have provided a confirmation
that these resonant based experiences are not illusionary or imaginary, but occur through a form
of interconnectedness created by resonating frequencies inside and outside the living system
(Cambray 2009). A living system may have many resonant frequencies due to the degrees of
freedom where each can vibrate as a harmonic oscillator which supports the progression of the
vibrations as waves bringing about a ripple effect within the whole system.

Resonance at Cellular Level


Vibrations as resonating waves of different frequencies found all around us and some of these
vibrations occur at frequencies which may not be perceivable, but interact with our bodies. But
do cells in a living system resonate? Resonating waves of different frequencies and wavelengths
can be absorbed as a mix within the cell, which may lose their energy due to the damping effect
of the water-based cytoplasm resulting in reduced frequencies triggering off a cascade of
quantum events within the cytoskeletal protein network of the cells. Simplest to the most
complex organisms are interconnected using information obtained by nonlocal quantum
coherence (Josephson and Pallikari-Viras 1991). Based on the ORCH-OR theory (Hameroff and
Penrose 2014), it can be hypothesized that every cell generates its own nonlocal quantum
coherence through quantum computing within cytoskeletal structures like the microtubules and
the evolution of these cytoskeletal structures suggests that they were present even in the most
simplest form of primitive organisms (Pereira 2015).
Resonance occurs when a damped oscillating system such as a cell is subjected to frequency
similar to the oscillation of the system which results in accumulation of energy within the
oscillators e.g. microtubular proteins which are known to generate mechanical resonance at a
frequency of 1510 MHz (Pizzi et al 2010). The cell, its microtubules and proteins can be
considered as a “tuned system” which consists of oscillators of identical resonant frequencies
wherein if one oscillator starts emitting, the others get activated and because the coupling is ideal
they will respond to the lowest signals and resonate. A quantum phenomenon operates at macro
as well as micro level which support the communication and signalling processes that exist in a
cell. Cellular resonances have been detected in a wide range of cell types, including bacteria,
yeast, algae, avian and mammalian cells (Pohl and Pollock 1986). Several changes and
stimulation effects at different frequencies of vibrations generated by means of sound waves
have been noted in plant cells (Hassanien et al 2014).

Sound waves are the best sources of vibrations and exist as three classes, infrasound, audible
sound and ultrasound and their effects vary accordingly. At vibrations of 261 Hz altered growth
in human gingival fibroblast cells was observed by Jones and team, which showed on increased
and decreased rate of proliferation based on the amplitude and exposure time (Jones et al 2000).
Electrical oscillations have been measured in yeast cells during reproduction which was found to
be maximal during mitotic division (Pokorny et al 2001). Resonant vibrations generated through
music are known to affect mood and emotions, which has been mainly focussed on the brain and
its cells and not on cellular metabolism, which may be the case in organisms with non-auditory
apparatus. Yeast cells demonstrated a 12% increase in growth rate and 14% reduction in biomass
production with a significant difference in the metabolite profiles on exposure to different sound
frequencies, confirming the enhancing effect of these vibrations at a cellular level (Aggio et al
2012).
Unicellular eukaryotes such as amoeba and paramecia exhibit complex cognitive capabilities like
cooperation, learning, feeding and escaping without the presence of neural tissues. These
organisms manage these cognitive functions via quantum computing in the microtubules present
in the cytoplasm which is the same in microorganisms with the FtZ type of tubulin proteins
(Pereira 2015) Cooperative spinning in suspended cells has been observed in yeast cells,
erythrocytes and protoplasts at 30 – 40, 20 – 40, 80 – 100 and 140 – 180 Hz which has been
demonstrated in a Frohlich model, where an assembly of randomly oscillating, lightly coupled
similar dipoles, cooperate if the chemical input power exceeds a certain level (Cifra et al 2011).
Theoretical quantum biophysics and computer based simulations have been used to analyze
quantum coherence within the tryptophan rings of the tubulin molecules present in the
microtubules which use quantum dipole coupling among the tryptophan generated resonance
clouds mediated by exciton hopping or Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) across the
tubulin protein lattice (Di Maïo et al 2014). Evolutionary patterns of tubulin and tubulin-like
proteins of the cytoskeletal network of the cells have existed from the very beginning of life, and
though not comparable to the present forms, have given rise to similar structures by maintaining
their purpose of existence (Pereira 2015).
Cultured human breast cancer cell line MCF7 showed an alteration in cellular morpho-functional
parameters such as cell size and cell granularity when exposed to music generated resonant
vibrations conforming to the direct interference of these vibrations with hormonal binding
processes that could modulate physiological and pathophysiological processes within these cells
(Lestard et al 2013). Vibrations through music therapy have also been associated with the NAc
activation and ventral tegmental area (VTA) regions of the brain which regulate autonomic,
emotional and cognitive functions. Dopaminergic neurons that originate in the VTA region
directed to the NAc and forebrain regions associated with rewarding stimuli have been activated
with vibrations generated through music (Chanda and Levitin 2013). Pulsed transcranial
ultrasound has been shown to improve memory functioning in Alzheimer’s mice by the break-
down of amyloid plaques which may help to boost the weakened cemi-field within the neurons
or the microtubules within the neurons (Craddock et al 2012).
A cell as an organism or cells in multicellular organisms act as resonating bodies that oscillate
trigger a flow of vibrations through the whole system, mediated by the oscillatory proteins of the
cytoskeletal network. Sheldrake’s theory of Hypothesis of Formative Causation explains this
concept, utilizing resonance as his model in a developing organism. According to him,

developing organisms are shaped by resonating fields which contain the form and shape of the
organism, with each species having its own field and several fields collaborating and interfering
in a multicellular organism like humans or a colony like the ones found in bacteria (Sheldrake
1992). If a tuning fork designed to produce a specific frequency is subjected to oscillate and is
brought into the vicinity of another tuning fork of the same frequency it will begin to oscillate,
this is known as resonant entrainment which can also be applied to biological systems wherein
cells oscillating at a particular frequency can oscillate neighbouring cells at the same frequency
generating a quantum-based conscious or cognitive effect.

Cognition & Consciousness as Quantum Resonating Characteristics of a Cell


Human based consciousness comprises of, what we see, hear, touch, taste, smell, feel, etc, which
is termed as ‘phenomenal consciousness’ and this has led to a one-way thinking in determining
the existence of true consciousness (Clark 2001). Cognition and consciousness have always been
linked to the neural tissue or the brain which is collection of neural cells, but there is more in
understanding conscious driven efforts by a single cell. Understanding and reasoning forms the
basis for intelligence in many unicellular organisms which survive, based on the ability to
perform cognitive functions without the presence of a neural system (Shapiro 2007). This kind of
intelligence cannot be compared to the intelligence observed in higher organisms, but does show
some overlap in areas of mental activity, memory and learning (Westerhoff et al. 2014).
Amoeba proteus is a well known protozoan, known to show several behavioural responses e.g.
regulation in the rate of reproduction based on availability of food, encapsulation, etc (Anderson
1988) which are conscious activities driven by awareness. Pseudopodium is a highly defined
energy mediated structure formed in amoeba and supports behavioural responses associated with
procurement of food as well as exhibiting a choice for food. They also demonstrate the capability
of differentiating between inorganic and organic food and can isolate an unknown object from an
engulfed food particle (Parsons 1926; Mast and Hahnert 1935) which is demonstrates the
decision making capability of the organism. Amoeba has no structures for reception of stimuli
but the protoplasm is aware and responds to a stimulus, which gives it the ability to perceive and
recognize its own kind and engage in cooperative behaviour. Cognitive smartness and
intelligence in these organisms, supports social behaviours related to learning, memory,
anticipation and risk management (Gregor et al. 2010). Can these conscious events be quantum
computed via resonant vibrations induced in microtubules present within the cytoplasm of these
organisms?
Sentience or consciousness can be hypothesised as a quantum computed event driven by the
microtubular proteins oscillating at similar frequencies that create a quantum resonant wave of
energy driving the feeling of being aware. It is based on a signal that a simple unicellular
organism procures from the environment which can be compared to a firing potential of the
neuron that creates a coordinated and synchronized pattern within the system. Awareness or
being conscious holds the key to survival and is displayed by all living beings. Adaptive
cooperative behaviours observed in primitive organisms e.g. Archae, has helped these organisms
survive in the past as well as present, which also justifies the fact, that quantum consciousness

and cognition may have been the cause of evolution and differentiation or may have been the
reason for a shift from unicellularity to multicellularity (Pereira 2015).
The relevance of quantum measurement theory in biology is based on the hypothesis that it
already takes place within the cell and is responsible for consciousness and conscious driven
activities. The “how” of consciousness can be understood but the “why” can never be answered
because it is a phenomenal event which divulges the reasons for creation. Whether unicellular or
multicellular, we all depend on our past experiences and its observations and use this for several
actions that need to be performed in our day to day life, which is managed by the conscious
decisions that we take, which may be new or retrieved from memory. Induced vibrations at
different frequencies have helped enhance this activity at cellular and multicellular level with the
mechanism of its action similar to the processing of a quantum based computer.
Schumann calculated the Earth’s-ionosphere cavity resonance frequency to be 7.83Hz, which is
known as the Schumann resonance, and which is also the frequency by which our biological
system is tuned to earth. Several studies were conducted, where people were shielded from the
naturally occurring Schumann resonance frequency, which resulted in disruption of circadian
rhythms resulting in health effects such as migraine, headache and emotional stress which was
restored when the subjects were re-exposed to this frequency (Persinger 2014). Quantum
generated resonance processed through electron tunnelling and super positioning of phonons or
photons results in conformational changes in proteins within the cytoskeleton network of cells; a
conscious event gets generated.
Meditators, healers, religious, mystics and natural psychics routinely use the technique of
resonance, by focusing attention on physical objects and icons by allowing intuitive perceptions
to enter a state of conscious awareness. The experience is an altered sense of space-time with
closure of self and a unified sense of relationship with all that exists through the balance of the
resonating frequencies between the cells, the body, the earth and the universe (Mitchell and
Staretz 2011). Consciousness and cognition are phenomenal characteristics of every cell and
even though we don’t know the “why” we surely can predict and hypothesize the “how” of
consciousness as quantum mediated, which enables the cell to understand and judge perceptions
giving it a prospect to behave as per will. The flow of consciousness can enhance cognitive
features in unicellular and multicellular living forms giving them the ability to survive and
become aware of their environment.

Understanding Meditation & Religion via Resonance


The universe comprises of things which have known frequencies or more than one frequency.
Resonance occurs when objects vibrate at their natural frequency or multiple natural frequencies
transferring energy to its adjacent objects so that they begin to vibrate at the same frequency.
This process occurs at a macro as well as a micro level and is the main driver for consciousness.
At a macro level the whole body or object feels the presence of consciousness or encounters the
feeling of awareness which hypothetically originates at a micro level via quantum processing
within the microtubules of the cells. Vibrations from the external environment can enhance the
quantum processes within the cytoskeletal network of the cell, which generates energy utilized

by the cell to perform its biochemical processes. This is an involuntary process which has been
in existence since the creation of life but can be enhanced through religious or non religious
meditative techniques.
Meditation is a process that self-regulates the body and mind and maybe associated with
psychological and neurophysiological alterations. Meditation studies have been linked to an
increased activity in the prefrontal cortex of the brain which is associated several cognitive based
functions (Previc 2006). EEG recordings of skilled Buddhist monks with years of training have
shown a significant rise in gamma wave activity in the 80 – 120 Hz range while this effect was
lower in new meditators. For these Buddhist monks, the purpose of meditation is to free oneself
from suffering and gain spiritual liberation which is the same reason for meditative practice in
other religions (Davidson and Lutz 2008). Mediation can result in major changes in
consciousness which have been observed in people in the state of trance, self-hypnosis and
mystical states (Holroyd 2003). Qigong masters have enhanced or reduced biochemical rates
during plant growth through their meditative practices which involves determining the position
and velocity of the trajectory of an object that needs to targeted via techniques that involve
vibrations (Jahnke et al 2010).
Behavioural changes though observed externally are a cause of quantum restated activities within
each cell; it is a propagation or coherent flow of consciousness within a cell and the cells in a
system. Healers or people praying for others initiate a non-local resonance process with objects
of their focussed attention which has direct effects at a cellular level. A healing prayer of any
religion has always produced positive results which have been always linked to the supernatural,
which may be a possibility, but hypothetically is induced via quantum computation at a cellular
level. What about unicellular organisms? Do they meditate? Unicellular organisms or sentient
organisms follow an involuntary cycle that helps them resonate with their surroundings to
generate energy via quantum processing within the microtubules making them aware of their
surroundings. Adaptive cooperative behaviours observed in microorganisms are more of a group
meditation, wherein microorganisms resonate within their colonies. This behaviour has helped
these organisms survive extreme conditions in the past as well as present, which also justifies the
fact, that it may have helped their ancestors during the evolutionary process from unicellularity
to multicellularity.
Meditation induces hypothetical quantum dipole oscillations which regulate protein
conformational changes by quantum computation such as electron tunnelling, delocalization and
superpositioning within the microtubules. Quantum superpositions was first suggested by
Penrose who demonstrated this feature by his quantum gravity ‘objective reduction’ process
which was confirmed to be computed in microtubules that collapse or reduce by an objective
factor related to quantum gravity (Penrose 1996). Resonance triggers off quantum based events
at vibrations of gigahertz, megahertz and kilohertz frequencies that have been found in isolated
microtubules termed as the “Bandyopadhyay Coherence” (Sahu et al 2013). Microtubule
quantum vibrations induced during clinical trials at megahertz frequencies using transcranial
sounds have shown several therapeutic effects (Craddock 2015) which are similar to therapeutic
effects generated through meditative and healing practices like chanting and praying.

Quantum resonance is a phenomenon; a hypothesis that is driven by another vibrating system or


an external force which oscillates a damped oscillating system at preferred frequencies and
triggers of a series of quantum events as a form of energy transfer at a cellular level.
Microtubules act as strong oscillating systems which amplify and filter out the signals generating
a conscious moment which terminates at the collapse of the wave function in space time
geometry (Hameroff and Penrose 2014). Consciousness generated through quantum based
principles is thus governed by the vibratory patterns of the universe and the particles that create
the magic of being aware. Conscious states are therefore resonant states that trigger learning and
cognitive representations in all living organisms and which helps us in our daily lives, work,
rewards and losses.
Meditation and healing practices that induce vibrations have provided us the secrets of
resonance, which can induce several conformational changes in the patterns of consciousness.
Even though meditation is induced, it is known to create an enhanced effect within the system
that can be correlated to enhanced quantum computation occurring within the microtubules of
the cytoskeleton at a cellular level. We are all part of a universe that demonstrates harmonic
resonance, which includes the smallest wave-like vibrations that can be generated via the
smallest particles of matter to larger orbital resonances that emerge from the galaxies and stars
oscillating at specific frequencies. Biophysics suggests that our biological systems are tuned into
the background frequency of our planet via the Schumann Resonance which occurs at a steady
pulse of 7.83 Hz within the ionosphere cavity of the earth and therefore could be the source of
resonant vibrations that triggers of the progression of quantum generated consciousness within
cells of all living beings.
