According to John Nash’s article, The Shekinah: the Indwelling Glory of God, The Shekinah possibly had biblical roots but took definite form as a feminine aspect of God in the rabbinic period and gathered strength through the Middle Ages. The Shekinah was associated with the rainbow, the expression of God’s glory and symbol of his covenant with Noah, with the cloud and pillar of fire that went before the Israelites during the exodus, or more abstractly with the Holy Breath or the Holy Spirit.

The notion of the revealed glory of God, the divine presence in the world.  At times, “She who dwells within,” The Shekinah speaks to us as an important figure in today’s quest for the divine feminine and for greater understanding of the multi-faceted nature of God.

Significantly, in the Hebrew gematria, “Shekinah” has a value of 385. In gematria, since an exact “correct” sum was often difficult to achieve in the spelling of a word or phrase, the calculated value in the classical system was allowed a leeway of +1 or –1, which difference was called the colel. Thus some gematria values are not precisely equal to the sacred cosmic number they were intended to symbolize, but may miss the exact total by the value of ±1 without altering their symbolic significance. Thus, the 385 could actually represent 384 hz or a higher octave of the Just or Pythagorean tuning of the note G (432 concert pitch) and the 192 hz Mariam or Mother Mary tuning fork.

According to Margaret Starbird’s book, Magdalene’s Lost Legacy: Symbolic Numbers and the Sacred Union in Christianity, in Greek gematria, the sum of the letters in Mariam is 192. This number represents the epitome of four—actually 3 × 4^3. That is significant, for as we have seen, four is the number of Earth, as is reflected in such phrases as “the four corners of the earth” and “the four winds,” and 444 was identified with “flesh and blood”—all the living creatures of the earth, but especially human beings. As we have seen, common expressions like “the four elements,” the “four seasons,” and “four directions” also reflect this concept of four related to physical matter and “mother” earth. In several languages the name of Mary is associated with mother, matter, and material, all of which are related to the Sanskrit matr (Latin: mater, matron; Greek: matrix). In Latin, maritare is “to wed,” a word whose derivations appear in Romance languages and in the English “marry.”

The shape Plato associates with the element earth is the cube, and even (as opposed to odd) integers were considered feminine in the ancient world. Three times the cube of four, that is, 3 × 43 or 3(4 × 4 × 4), equals 192, the gematria of “Mariam.” Because of the associations of the number four with the feminine, “matter,” and “flesh and blood,” the gematria of Mariam reflects the concept of “mother,” and thus all the Mariams in the Gospel story share in this meaning. The name “Mariam” when it appears in the Greek texts of the Gospels with the final letter m thus bears universal connotations of the feminine “container”—the flesh-and-blood vessel or womb of the Mother—through the computation of its gematria.

The Low OM is useful for working on the lower body due to its grounding tone. It has been shown to help reduce swelling and inflammation as well as promote bone healing. Strained muscles, tendons and ligaments may also benefit from its tone. It complements a Mid OM Tuning Fork creating a resonant octave. The Low OM, like all cosmic OM vibrations is relaxing, soothing, balancing, sedative and grounding.

Mathematician Hans Cousto calculated the Earth Year (OM) frequency in his book, The Cosmic Octave.

According to Margaret Starbird’s book, Magdalene’s Lost Legacy: Symbolic Numbers and the Sacred Union in Christianity, Mary Magdalene was the true feminine counterpart of Jesus in their “sacred marriage” of opposite energies. Evidence of her equal status is shown through the popular ancient practice of gematria or assigning numbers to letters. Mary’s epithet was given the number 153: a representation of the archetypal sacred feminine and the vesica pisces (). The vesica pisces in sacred geometry is also known as the the womb or matrix of all other geometric forms. This highly significant symbol is shaped like an almond, egg, or seed and was also associated with the sacred feminine in the ancient world.

Astute readers of John’s Gospel will recognize the number 153 as the number of fishes the disciples caught in the net at Jesus’ redirection. Many believe this “multitude of fishes” to be another symbolic reference to the vesica pisces and its generative or manifestation potential.

The Otto 128 hz tuning fork adjusts the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which contains the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic nervous systems. In some cases one can stall out in a Sympathetic nervous system cycle, which is regularly caused by shock or trauma. This response is known as the “fight or flight” reaction. The Otto 128 can permit the stuck Sympathetic Nervous System to discharge, cue the body to move into the “rest and relax” Parasympathetic Nervous System, and permit the typical suitable free passage between the sensory systems.

Research demonstrates that the Otto 128, used correctly, boosts nitric oxide allowing healthy functioning body systems and facilitating tissue healing. Nitric Oxide enables the body to delicately move into the Parasympathetic “rest and relax” mode making an ideal situation for body cells to work and mend.

Instructions for USE: For adjusting the ANS, utilize the Otto 128 (or Otto 64) by setting the vibrating fork’s stem end on the sacrum. Also effective when put on the rib heads, thorasic vertebrae, sternum, and illiums (aka the “hip” bones). The Otto 128 is utilized to recuperate bone tissue, as well as any connective tissue. Two activated 128 Ottos held a couple of inches from the ears make a wonderful supported low tone which is beneficial for grounding and relaxation. Tune a solitary point just a few times per day and just 2 times on each point, or the helpful nitric oxide may diminish instead of increment.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: DO NOT utilize the Otto 128 directly on a broken or cracked bone, as this can bring about additional bone harm. Alternatively, utilize the Otto 128 tuning fork on a zone nearby to increment nitric oxide and help tissue regeneration. Medical staff frequently utilize the Otto 128 to analyze broken bones and neuropathy.
