6 Sonidos Curativos Comparados El Secreto de las 6 Silabas o Los 6 Sonidos Silenciosos Basicos para la Salud. Keneth Cohen dice que es atribuido al Budista ermitaño del siglo 6. Craig Reid dice que hay una descripción del siglo 5, por el famoso medico chino, Tao Hung jing. Uno debe de inhalar por la nariz y exhalar por la boca … Hay una forma de inhalar y 6 formas de exhalar el aire. Las 6 formas de exhalar pueden curar diferentes enfermedades, eliminar la Ira y el corage, malestar, con la silaba SH eliminar el exceso de calor interno, problemas cardiacos, con la silaba HO (pronunciada “Jooo”) eliminar las preocupaciones, la tension, con la silaba HU (pronunciada “Juuu”) eliminar pena, tristesa, para equilibrio,con la silaba SSS eliminar el exceso de frio interno, con la silaba FU eliminar la tension con la silaba HI (Jiii) Cada sonido se asocia con algun organo interno, a veces mas de uno: El Maestro Taoista Ni Hua-Ching dice que: “Cada una de las 6 Vibraciones tiene una influencia Psiquica en la esfera de energia de su organo correspondiente, la cual promueve la expulsión expulsión de impuresas impuresas y toxinas de esa esfera del organo organo y sus manifestaciones, manifestaciones, y ayuda a colectar colectar energia fresca para cada organo y los sistemas del cuerpo que controla.” El Maestro Taoista Ni Hua-Ching dice que: “Si el sonido o vibracion es muy fuerte o agudo y demasiado fuerte, este sonido puede dañar el CHI CHI del cuerpo.” cuerpo.”
Although a number of different modern masters teach the six sounds technique, there are a re differences, both small and large, in the sounds that they describe: •
•
•
The pronunciation of the sounds varies. Most of the apparent differences seem to arise from the difficulty of representing these sounds phonetically in print. Comparing the descriptions given by different teachers can help give you insight into the correct production of the sound. However, the sound for the kidneys really does vary significantly, and is given by different teachers as Foo, Chway, or Chrroooeee. The degree of vocalization varies. In many cases, the sounds are apparently just the sound of your breath exhaling, with such variations as can be caused by different positions of the tongue, lips, and teeth. However, some teachers pronounce some of the sounds as if they include a vowel, so the vocal cords in your throat are actively vibrating. Sat Chuen Hon vocalizes each of the sounds, which greatly shortens the consonant part of the sound the emphasizes the vowel instead. At the other extreme, Ni Hua-Ching says that each vibration must be inaudible: "If the sound is coarse and audible it will hurt the chi of the body." The order of the sounds varies from teacher to teacher. In most cases, the order follows the productive cycle of the Five Phases. However, different teachers begin from different points in the cycle. And Ni gives an order that doesn't relate in any obvious way to Five Phase theory.
The following table lists the sounds as explained by several teachers. The account given here is somewhat simplified. For example, some teachers suggest visualizations to accompany the sounds.
Also, some of the teachers below (Cohen, Davis, and Reid) provide suggested movements to perform while making the sounds. For full details, refer to the works cited under Sources later in this article. Phase

Reid
1. Hsü, "as 'shoo,' with lips pursed, but softened by the umlaut over the vowel."
2. Her, "as 'her,' but without the final 'r,' with mouth open, tip of tongue pressed against lower teeth, and syllable aspirating in the top of the throat on exhalation."
3. Hoo, "'who,' with the lips rounded and the tongue suspended in midmouth, as if blowing out a candle."
4. Sss, "as in 'hiss,' without the initial 'hi-,' with your tongue behind the lower teeth and the upper and lower lips slightly parted."
5. Chway, "as in 'way' with a 'ch' in front. Lips slightly pursed on the initial 'ch,' then relaxed and open on the final 'way'."
6. Shee, "'she,' with the teeth slightly parted and lips formed in a small smile."
Additionally, Jou, Tsung Hwa states: "The Taoists use a Mantra of Who, Shoe, Foo, Way, Chemmy, She, which not only trains the concentration, but strengthens the body through the correspondence of each sound with an internal organ. If in a group, this is usually done by chanting the same syllable over and over, or it can be done by chanting prayers." It is difficult to tell how to fit these syllables into the table above, but they evidently form a variant of the same system of six healing sounds.
Note 1. In the Organs list of above chart, the Triple Burner is probably unfamiliar to most Westerners. Beinfeld and Korngold define it as "an integrating function that ties together and h armonizes the physiologic processes of the primary Organ Networks."
