What is Audio Pharmacology? What is Sound Healing?
Sound healing is the therapeutic application of sound frequencies to the body/mind of a person with the intention of bringing them into a state of harmony and health.
Sound Healing can be transmitted to a person in a number of ways:
• Through using their own voice
• Through using their voice with other voices
Created by Shannon Harris, Audio Pharmacology is an integrative technique of ancient healing systems used in a form of medicinal music and visuals. It uses the Five Element System (Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire) coupled with other sight and sound modalities to aid in the sensational process of tonal healing through inspirational meditation. With the use of deep breathing, color, light, sacred images, elemental/ environmental audio references, energy/ organ system frequency balancing, and binaural/monaural brain waves the experience induces vibrational harmony to its practitioners.
What is the 5 Element System?
The Wu Xing also known as the Five Elements, Five Phases, the Five Agents, the Five Movements, Five Processes, and the Five Steps/Stages, is a Oivefold conceptual scheme that many traditional Chinese Oields used to explain a wide array of phenomena, from cosmic cycles to the interaction between internal organs, and from the succession of political regimes to the properties of medicinal drugs. The “Five Phases” are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. This order of presentation is known as the “mutual generation” sequence. In the order of “mutual conquest” or “mutual overcoming”, they are Wood, Earth, Water, Fire, and Metal. “Wu Xing” is often translated as Five Elements and this is used extensively by many including practitioners of Five Element acupuncture, Qi Gong, Bazi and etc.
• Through using their own voice while listening to music
• Through listening to another person’s voice or a number of voices
• Through listening to an instrument or instruments
• Through listening to music or sound through a loudspeaker or through headphones
How does sound healing work?
Each organism has its own vibratory rate.
Every object in the universe has its own unique resonant frequency. Tap a wineglass and it will emit a ringing sound determined by its size, shape and the thickness. When an opera singer vibrates a glass with her voice the singer has matched her voice
What’s unique about our system?
• Holographic 3D Audio – 3D audio is done through “imaging,” which basically means you are able to conOigure a system so that the listener is unable to discern from “where” the sound is coming. In essence, it’s the creation of a lifelike, three-‐ dimensional image that seems to extend beyond the walls of the room and behind the loudspeakers or headphones.
• Live Audio Mixing of several ancient sound frequency modalities in real time aligned to the directional generation and control/restriction of the 5 element system. (No Audio Pharmacology live sessions will ever be the same)
• Live Video Imaging drawn by a real time audio analyzer. The sound determines what you will see in real time. (No two video presentations during the live Audio Pharmacology sessions will ever be
completely identical)
to the resonant frequency of the glass and
set it into vibration. As the singer increases the volume of her sound the resonance becomes too great for the forces that hold the glass together and it shatters.
Luckily, our bodies are more Olexible than a glass! The cells of our body enjoy the vibration of sound.
The human body is made up of 70% water; this makes it a very good conductor of sound.
Every organ, every bone, every cell in the body has its own resonant frequency. Together they make up a composite frequency like the instruments of an orchestra. When one organ in the body is out of tune it will affect the whole body.
Through the principle of resonance it is possible to use sound to bring the body back into harmony hence avoiding the need for drugs or surgery.

• Oximeter monitoring during live demonstrations to measure oxygen level and pulse rate.

Shannon Harris – Earning a B.S. in Computer Science in 1996 from Western Illinois University with a minor in Mathematics and African American Studies, Shannon has worked for some of the leading IT companies in the industry for over 20 years (IBM, AT&T, LaSalle Bank, Advantis, SBC, etc.). During his tenure, Shannon has held various roles from System Programmer, Senior Data Surveillance Engineer to
supervisory positions while simultaneously running and operating his company ‘Urbanicity’. Urbanicity specializes in raising awareness via communal art/music/fashion/events in support of global crusades for the last 15 years spanning its reach to audiences on 6 continents. Shannon has honed his skills as a professional DJ for 28 years and world touring DJ/Musician/artist performing in 5 continents globally for the past 10 years. He has worked as a international recording artist for 15 years with releases on labels in Japan, London, Kenya, and Italy to name a few.
He has taught 2 master level programs in Kemetic Sound Healing for Antioch University in conjunction with co-‐facilitating the HOC (Healer of Color) monthly community circles and healing retreats/events since 2012. In 2013, he became the founder and CEO of the ‘The ASSIST Society’ a not-‐for-‐profit organization aiding in sustainable solutions assisting indigenous cultures worldwide with a head quarters/home in Illinois and Kenya. For the last 9 years he has been a devoted practitioner of Qi Gong/TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)/Meditation/Bazi techniques and veganism for the last 7 years, which lead to the creation of Audio Pharmacology. Audio Pharmacology is an integrative technique of ancient healing systems used in a form of medicinal music and visuals. It uses the Five Element System (Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire) coupled with other sight and sound modalities to aid in the sensational process of tonal healing through inspirational meditation and energy manipulation. With the use of deep breathing, color, light, sacred images, elemental/environmental audio references, energy/organ system frequency balancing, and binaural/monaural brain waves the experience induces vibrational harmony to its practitioners.
