Dr. Schumann and Your AVS Machine:
Surfing the Schumann Resonance

by Jeff Labno

About 20 years ago, I first became aware of atmospheric resonances, and boy was I stunned concerning their power and consequences.

Early one morning in the late seventies, I was having breakfast with my friend, Dr. Bob Beck. This conversation became the start of a whole new understanding for me.

He said that he had been asked by the U.S. Navy to check out and find the cause of some very strange happenings in Eugene, Oregon. People driving around town were falling asleep while behind the wheel. I remembered reading something about that in the newspaper, but never thought much about it.

At that time, Bob was making small and portable brainwave machines for NASA. The astronauts used them to prepare for the unusual brainwave states that occur when in zero gravity.

Using very sensitive equipment, Bob detected a very low frequency of 7.25Hz resonating in the atmosphere at Eugene. He said it was being transmitted from Russia.

Bob's story was like something you read about in science fiction. I needed someone else to convince me that an atmospheric frequency could affect brainwaves so dramatically.

A few months later, my dad joined us for breakfast to listen to Bob's story. My dad worked on Mach aircraft and spacecraft as a vibration specialist. After breakfast, my dad confirmed that the technology existed for such things to happen, and the Russians were using low frequencies to communicate with submarines. He was very impressed with Bob Beck's findings!

One day, Bob showed me an array of strobing magnetic devices developed to counter the atmospheric frequencies that were putting people to sleep. They were made in East Germany which then was being bombarded with low frequency Russian communication transmissions. These protection devices were in the shape of pens, or tiny metallic boxes which you could put in your front shirt pocket. The Max Stress Controller is an example of this type of technology.

In 1980, I set up a biofeedback workshop for Bob Beck where he mentioned that listening to an audio simulation of the Schumann Resonance Frequency, you could learn to match your brainwaves with that frequency while hooked up to a biofeedback machine. This would produce a state of mind where you could see things clearly with your mind - remote viewing.

So, what's up with the Schumann Resonance? What is it, and what does it really do?

In the early ‘50's physicist W.O. Schumann made known the existence of atmospheric resonances precipitated by the 300 lightning strikes per minute and the resultant sonic booms called thunder. In the early ‘60's, magnetic transducers were developed to record these atmospheric resonances, now known as the Schumann Resonances.

These resonances consist of a base frequency of around 8.73 Hertz, and ten overtones; the main ones being 14, 20, 26, 33, 39, and 45 Hertz with a daily variation of plus/minus 0.5 Hertz. The frequency fluctuates depending on atmospheric factors such as tides, magnetosphere, and day time versus night time. This gets complicated, but if you want to research it, look on the web for Martin Fullekrug at the Institut fur Meteorologie and Geophysik, Univ. Of Frankfurt.

The source of this atmospheric activity is the sun converting hydrogen into helium which produces the solar wind. The solar wind carries highly charged particles through space, some of which collect in the Earth's magnetosphere. These ions traveling faster than the speed of sound ionize atmospheric gases producing the Northern Lights, plus feed into the moisture of thunderclouds from the ionosphere causing lightning.

UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory pioneered the installation of two triaxial magnetic transducer measurement stations at Hollister and Parkfield, California, in order to measure and record the Schumann Resonances. Any increase in these frequencies would indicate increased activity on the sun, which is useful for forecasting seismic activity on Earth. They publish them daily at: http://www.quake.geo.berkeley.edu.

Two other monitoring sites are located in the Negev Desert, Israel, and another run by the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo, Japan.

A site by Scott Fusare with details on building your own Schumann Resonance transducer is: http://radio-research.bei.t-online.de/project5/zchumann1.pdf. Building specialized transducers (Schumann Transducers) has many hidden challenges. My first job involved building transducers and data systems to measure vibration resulting from earthquakes on the containment vessels of nuclear power plants.

What makes the Schumann Resonance so interesting, is that so many AVS machines use it for meditation programs. Quite a number of other types of Schumann Resonance products have also appeared on the market.

The first Schumann Resonance product was developed in 1974 by Dr. Ludwig in Germany. It is a small box which emits this resonance in the form of magnetic strobe. He worked with NASA to install a Schumann device on manned spacecraft. Dr. Ludwig worked at the Institute of Frequency Technology, is a doctorate of Physics, and currently develops medical therapy devices.

Another researcher, Dr. Andrija Puharich developed the Teslar watch in 1986. Dr. Puharich and his friends were known as the "Round Table Foundation of Electrobiology". Some of the illuminaries were John Hammond, Nikola Tesla's only student, and Warren McCulloch (Cybernetics).

I first began doing detailed research on the resonance because of the many conflicting definitions that were out there. A popular geologist, Gregg Braden, says for example, that the frequency for this resonance is rising. When you check out the published frequencies on Berkeley's website, you can see for yourself that there is no evidence of it rising, it remains at 7.83 Hertz!

In 1999, a product specialist paid a visit to Gregg Braden at a Sedona workshop to ask him about this discrepancy. Gregg admitted that it is not the Schumann Resonance (atmospheric frequency) that is rising, but instead, the frequency of the Earth itself. He said that transducers deep in the Earth at a secret location in Russia and Norway are the basis for his research. He says that increased activity of people, buildings, cities...are the cause of Earth's frequency rising.

When you look at the state of affairs of life in the city, it is easy to see how all the noises of the city take your brainwaves and body rhythms on a "wild ride". Then we have the invisible world of EMFs strobing at additional frequencies. It is interesting to note that people living in the country are much calmer than those living in the city.

So, what's the benefit of using a Schumann Resonance product? It works well for EMF protection because it keeps your body's rhythms in tune with those of nature, enhancing your ability to heal. This frequency is also at the transition point from consciousness to being unconscious; that is why it is used for meditation. The Yogis call this the point of bindu - conscious unconsciousness. Some people say that it helps them be more creative, do remote viewing and even sleep better.

The first AVS machine to use the Schumann Resonance was the Mind's Eye (1988) by Synetic Systems. Now, Schumann Earth Frequency programs are common to most machines. The companies that use this resonance are Synetic Systems, DAVID Paradise, MindGear and brainwave synchronizer. There is a significant public response to using these programs, people really like them! These programs work by pulsing a sound tone at 7.83 cycles per second.

Other types of Schumann Resonance products (Magnetic Field Generator, Mini Harmonizer) strobe a magnetic field at 7.83 cycles per second.

The most popular Schumann product is the Teslar watch; wearing a watch is quite convenient. In his design, Dr. Puharich put a scalar 7.83 oscillator inside a watch shielding it from 60Hz alternating current with a copper plate with a mobius loop to cancel out the effects of alternating current. Wearing the watch, people report a greater sense of wellness, relief from jet lag, and greater overall energy.

This wraps up my story on the Schumann Resonances. Pending reader response to this story; there could be a follow-up piece. So, please write to us if you have anything to contribute.
