Is Your Name Who You Are?

by Jill Mattson

Ancient people used sound and music to heal, balance and uplift their worlds. One crucial way was to properly use the sound of one’s name. The sound of one’s name is a constant energy-influence for one’s entire life because of the sheer number of times it is heard. In ancient times, how one said his name was crucial, as it described his energy to others. They guarded against saying their name in combination with negative emotions as these subtle energies intermingled. They would, however, say their name with love to uplift their subtle energy communication, or utter their name with the feeling of power to assert their authority.

Reflect on how you say your name. When you introduce yourself to others, does your name sound like a question or a request for approval from others? Is it a warm and inviting sound? We can easily perceive how others react to us – all on their own. This subtle art that we are discussing arms us with the power to put out a vibratory field in our voice so that others react to us as we decide. It is simple to do this: merely project a feeling when you say your name. That simple exercise intertwines your name with energy that emits more powerfully in all directions throughout the quantum fields. This is tantamount to throwing a little pebble into a lake versus a large rock – the difference is obvious.

The Ancient Sumerians took the art of using the sound of one’s name to another level. They converted one’s name into pitches. There were several processes that were utilized to convert one’s name to music. One system was called Gematria, in which a number was assigned to each letter in the alphabet, and thus letters were converted into numbers. For example, the 25th letter of the alphabet would represent the number 25. Numbers were then used as frequencies. The number 25 correlated to 25 cycles of sound per second or a very low musical note! This converts the letters in one’s name to sound. Ancient people listened to the music of their name and harmonized with this sound. Thus, they accepted their energies, strengths and weaknesses in a positive and harmonious manner.
