Healing Instrument Design and Revolutionary Treatment Methodology Based on Pythagorean Principles is basis for New Music CD called Golden Ratios; new music CD by Dr. James Hopkins Ushers in New Era for Harmonic Healing

New Leaf Distributing will feature the former chiropractor's new healing CD Golden Ratios in their exhibition booth (#541) at the International New Age Trade Show®-West (INATS® West) June 28 - 30th; CD release date set for June 24, 2008.

Los Angeles, CA (Billboard Publicity Wire) June 24, 2008 -- While thousands of clients - celebrity and civilian alike - have experienced the gently healing hands of Dr. James Hopkins, relatively few have had the honor of enjoying the effects produced by his new sound healing services. That will soon change, as Dr. Hopkins celebrates the release of his first CD called Golden Ratios, based on the Pythagorean principles he uses in his revolutionary healing practice. As of June 24, 2008, the CD will be available via New Leaf Distributing, who will feature it at the upcoming International New Age Trade Show®-West (INATS® West; www.inats.com/west).


Golden Ratios by Dr. James Hopkins
this massive tragedy was like telling Picasso he could no longer paint. Golden Ratios is actually an instrumental recording of a unique acoustic instrument designed to generate harmonic overtones. The instrument is a massive seven-foot long horizontal cello "bed" with 117 strings that was also designed for a human being to lie on top of it while it's being played. Recorded by Ron Bartlett in a "state of the art" sound stage, the CD contains six tracks varying in length from 3:11 to 18:53 and was mastered by Bernie Grundman Studios.

"What is hard to believe," says Dr. Hopkins, "is that there are absolutely no 'special effects' used on this recording. Everything you hear is pure natural acoustics emanating from the instrument. While nothing can compare to the actual analog experience of lying on top of the instrument itself -- BEING physically present while you 'feel/hear' hundreds of strings actually vibrate, surrounding your body with a Living Geometric Cocoon - this high-quality digital recording is the next best thing."

The profound instruments that gave birth to this extraordinary CD are original creations based on Dr. Hopkins' collaboration with the finest luthiers in the world. The instruments are the result of seven years of research, studying Pythagorean principles after an early retirement from 25 years as a chiropractor in Studio City, CA. To date, there are twelve unique instruments of spectacular design in the doctor's treatment studio; an inspiring series of CD recordings is in the works. Positive word-of-mouth has built Dr. Hopkins a steady schedule of global clients over the past few years.

Innovative film composer Graeme Revell (during his personal healing session) found it hard to believe that the exquisite sounds were purely acoustical & not enhanced by a synthesized or computer. He was convinced otherwise only after examining the entire studio to confirm that there were no connections to electronic components.

Dr. Hopkins says that even though all the 117 strings are tuned to only two notes (D&A), the mathematical combinations produce an infinite series of harmonic overtones known as the Lambdoma Sequence. He calls them "Audible Fractals" and says that the "Harmonic Proportions are to sound what the Golden Ratio is to structure." He describes some of the heavenly sounds as "cosmic symphonic orchestrations, fathomless galactic choirs, transcendental-multidimensional waveforms, audible sacred geometry with a sublime aesthetic."

This doctor-turned-healing-musician advises that this is not simple relaxation music to listen to while entertaining or driving; rather, it should be used manifestly during meditation, contemplation, intentional healing, massage therapy without casual conversation, soul travel, lucid dream cognition, sleep aid, Tantra, yoga intensive, creative processing, raising consciousness, connecting to source & universal intelligence, or what can generally be categorized as "Inner Plane" work.

Dr. Hopkins has dedicated himself to the healing arts for most of his fifty years. He has been blessed with purpose his entire life, finding tremendous satisfaction and personal reward by facilitating the well being of others. As a chiropractor living in the Los Angeles area, Dr. Hopkins cared for a "dream clientele" for over 25 years. Adhering to a strict policy of word of mouth only, he attracted many thousands of high-caliber patients from all over the world.

"Dr. James Hopkins - Pythagorean Harmonic Healing 1 Golden Ratios - CD"


Dr. James Hopkins - Pythagorean Harmonic Healing 1 Golden Ratios - CD
(Dr. James Hopkins) While I'm not really a math geek, I have always been interested in the idea of the golden ratio and how it keeps popping up again and again. I have also been aware of how things like sound and vibrations affect the human body. So this CD by Dr. James Hopkins is fascinating to me in that context. This really isn't a listening to CD ("Hey man, listen to that droning sound, I believe this is going to be the next Nirvana"), It's more of a meditating CD and a study in harmonics, music and math and how they all relate. What's also interesting is that the instrument played on this CD is really one of a kind, and the 117 strings are tuned to only two notes (D & A). The idea of the instrument is that a person lies on top of it while it's being played from below, therefore bathing the person in harmonics that help induce healing. While I'm not going to get into the new age one-with-nature gooiness that one associates with such thinking, I will say that the CD is relaxing and is perfect for mediation and the thinking behind the instrument is fascinating.

""A Very Powerful Experience""

Golden Ratios CD by Dr. James Hopkins

I felt this album almost as much as I heard it; a very, very powerful experience, I'm sitting here pulsing and floating and resonating and appreciating. This album is a phenomenal accomplishment. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

""Hugely Impressed", "A Whole New Genre""

Golden Ratio by James Hopkins
I am Hugely impressed with this! As soon as I loaded and press play, I found my spine want to bolt upright with attention. I have already been playing it with my massage clients and yoga classes. It feels like a whole new genre beyond Shavasana & Meditation music. Some deep states of mindlessness have been the positive responses from my students. This morning I had around 30 yoga students harmonizing with OM as it played in the background. Very sweet. This deserves to receive more marketing! I would like to stock this at the studios, and to have a chance to actually lie on the instrument, while James plays- WOW!!!!!!

Welcome to your Life!

Golden Ratios
Pythagorean Harmonic Healing 1
Dr. James Hopkins
www.drjameshopkins.com


After being enthralled and listening to Father Andrew Rogers’ CDs ( www.andrewrogers.us ) the past several months I thought it would be nearly impossible to listen to a CD that came close. I waited, and in New Agey fashion, I picked up THIS CD! Golden Ratios Pythagorean Harmonic Healing 1.

What a listen it is! It is truly a refined experience which both enlivens and engages one at all levels of experience, dealing possibly with the most important energies per session.

As I lay in bed listening to Dr. James Hopkins’ Golden Ratios healing CD at first I thought, “What is all this noise?” Within mere seconds I noticed my face was smiling. Smiling! Now there’s an autonomic response for you! the beginning of many.

Hopkins, who has spent most of his 50 years in dedicated pursuit of healing and helping others (he is a chiropractor to the stars and world celebrities, based near L.A., California) has invested himself, time and much money, he says, to create the most unusual instrument.

He calls the instrument the Pythagorean Monochord. It has 117 strings, each 7 feet long, and all tuned to either of two notes, D or A. Ideally, each healing treatment has a patient lying on top of this Monochord while it is played. Thankfully, we can listen at home via our CD players, or rips via iTunes to our iPods. Ah, technology!

It is likely that the CD experience is not as immersive as the live ‘Me being on top of the Monochord while it is played’ but my experience is profoundly significant. I’m eager for you to try it.

As Dr. Hopkins says, “It works due to the law of physics. Resonance, entrainment, and brain wave synchronization are phenomena that enable the process to occur naturally and effortless.”

“Imagine lying on top of a massive cello with hundreds of strings! Every string is precisely tuned to exact frequencies that generate infinite ranges of exquisite harmonic overtones. These emanations unfold like audible fractals.

“It is hard to believe this CD is entirely acoustic. There are no synthesizers, no computer generated effects, etc. I use only my fingers on the strings which are attached to a wooden acoustic resonant chamber (like a giant guitar body or a massive cello)

“The frequencies turn off the “disquieting mind” aligning your mind, body & spirit to the higher order of harmonics.” Hopkins says, as Pythagoras put it, “To effortlessly connect an individual with their Divine Nature”.

“Its healing effects occur on the deepest levels of our being.

“I play the strings from underneath like a cosmic harp. By sustaining it long enough, YOU HAVE TO SYNC UP WITH THE HARMONIC FREQUENCIES. It’s simply a law of physics and since your entire body is physically connected to the resonant sound chamber of the instrument you not only “HEAR” them, but you actually “FEEL” these HARMONIC frequencies throughout your entire body.”

...And also in my bed, lying comfortably with my pillows and Golden Ratios playing on my CD player.

Hopkins continues, “Pythagoras used various intervals of harmonic ratios as a “medicine” for diseases of the body, mind & soul. “He aligned souls to their Divine Nature”. Through music, Pythagoras performed what he called “soul-adjustments”.

“His concept of “The Divine” referred to the observable & measurable fact that there is Absolute Order pervasive throughout the entire Universe (everywhere-all the time) AND that this Order has Intelligence. He taught that this Order, with Universal Intelligence streaming through it, could be accessed and realized through numbers.”

Golden Ratios is the first in a series of five CDs that will be released by Dr. James Hopkins through his Harmonix Healing. I am eagerly awaiting each next CD.

“The highest goal of music is to connect one’s soul to their Divine Nature, not entertainment”
Pythagoras (569- 475 BC)

I strongly recommend reading every word on Hopkins’ web site. It is an education on subjects ranging from ‘planetary tuned gongs’ to Pythagoras to cosmological vibrations. All brilliant and totally cool stuff presented in rather easy to understand text.

""The New Paradigm""

"WOW! As a reviewer I listen to many CDs and usually don't linger with any particular CD after I've spent the time to review it. Yours is one of the albums I've digitized and placed on my iPod -- so 'still' it's often!

I truly look forward to your future CDs as they may be a 'set' of experiences that help usher in the new paradigm(s). My readers will want to know about such a CD series.

""Unbelievable, Deep, Superb""

Awareness Magazine
(volume 15, NO. 5) Sept / Oct 2008
MUSIC REVIEWS
By Jim Brenholts

It is appropriate to describe this music as unbelievable, deep, dense and superb! Using a “Divinely Inspired Instrument,” James has created a masterpiece. The instrument has 117 strings that are tuned to precise frequencies and generate intricate overtones within themselves. They unfold geometrically and James calls them “audible fractals.”

WHEW! WOW! That is heady stuff! This CD is totally acoustic and has some of the strongest overtones ever. Using the inherent sonorities of the instrument and its strings, James builds huge soundscapes and massive atmospheres. There is no trickery involved.

The natural sounds are psychoactive and meditation is a natural development of the experience. As each layer unfolds the mind goes deeper into the heart and soul of the being. As the listener wanders within the self, new paths of discovery manifest and clarity appears.

This is NOT the main function of the instrument. James explains, however, that relaxation is not a side effect either. It is a direct result of deep listening. The full effect of this technique must be an absolute joy. The CD is.

""No Production Expense was Spared, (SERIOUSLY)""

DR. JAMES HOPKINS/Golden Ratios: Either you’re down with the touchy/feely program or you aren’t. An LA doctor created an instrument that you lie on and the vibrations from the strings perform their own healing arts on the patient. This cd is the next best thing to being there, even if you can’t lay on the disc to get similar results. Sworn to up and down by people that have been through the process, the record itself takes new age back to it’s core as the 117 strings on this puppy are only tuned to A and D. A trance record where no production expense was spared (seriously), if you are involved at any level with the healing arts and non-traditional medicine, this could be just what you have been looking for. And in the spirit of staying green, all sounds here are organically produced.

"Interview with 11:11"

"HARMONIA" THE DIVINE PRINCIPLE THAT BRINGS ORDER TO CHAOS


1.Dr. James B. Hopkins You have stepped into a whole new passion in life. What was that born out of?
(What did you do before? Tell your story here about getting into Chiropractic and how that happened.)

We are all on a Divine Path. Sometimes we make choices that move us along our Path & sometimes the Universe appears to accelerate our journey for us. On occasion, traumatic events have propelled me into my next “Higher Purpose” in life.
When I was 14 years old I crashed on a motorcycle & sustained a head injury. I was paralyzed on the left side of my face. I was taken to the “best” medical doctors available. They all told me that nothing could be done to reverse my paralysis & that I must “learn to live with the condition” for the rest of my life.
After allopathic medicine had failed to help me, my grandmother took me to an 86 years old Chiropractor. You must understand that 37 years ago, Chiropractors were considered “Quacks” & few people went to them. I had never even heard of a Chiropractor. To make a long story short… he cured my condition in a week.
This experience taught me to “question authority” at an early age. After all… the “best doctors” had condemned me to a lifetime of paralysis & the (quote) “Quack” fixed me in a week! This event was so profound that I decided to become a Chiropractor & help educate others.
This experience taught me to be more inclusive in my approach to problem solving. It also taught me that along with “Great Challenges” come “Great Gifts”. This traumatic incident led to a profoundly rewarding career & a lifetime of purpose.

2. How was your work in Chiropractic medicine part of this Divine path?

I was able to cultivate many profound abilities within me that laid the foundation for what I am doing now. Deciding what to do with my life at early age enabled me to focus like a laser beam to achieve my desired profession without succumbing to distractions.
Trusting my intuition (& follow my passion) led to a rewarding, respected and remunerative profession. As a Chiropractor-Healer I found “ My Gifts”. (in my hands & in my heart) Through “word of mouth” I cultivated a “Dream Clientele”, thousands of wonderful patients, celebrities & creative geniuses and I was the recipient of huge amounts of love & appreciation. I really LOVED what I did.

3 How have you incorporated the two together?

My work now is divided into three stages. (Physical -Astral -Spiritual)
This process is a gradual “Tiering Up”, into the sublime.

A) Physical: The first stage acknowledges the physical body. Which is the “densest” aspect of our being… therefore the LAST place for dis-ease to manifest. This is the “hands on” part. I do this by incorporating bodywork, massage, structural integration, acupressure, Chiropractic G5 Vibration, Energy work.
B) Astral: In the second stage you are surrounded by a semicircle of profound Gongs. These are special Gongs engineered according to the Principle of Pythagoras’ “Harmony of the Spheres”. It is a Cosmic experience.
C) Spiritual: In the third stage you are lying on a massive Pythagorean Monochord. It is like lying on a massive seven ft long cello with hundreds of strings all of which are tuned to specific frequencies that generate the harmonic overtone series.

4) What brought about this new vision (tell your story of how your career in Chiropractic had to come to an end for a while)

At the peak of my career I lost everything. In less than one year… everything I identified myself with was “taken away”. Beginning with severe arthritis in my hands. Progressive, increasing pain for 6 years until it felt like they had been crushed in a car door. One day I woke up and I couldn’t even open my hands. They had literally curled up into a claw. This event marked the immediate termination of my career. This was like telling Picasso he could no longer paint.
I lost my hands, my career & purpose, my clients (like loosing my family), I lost the income associated with my work, I lost the house I had lived in for 15 years, four dogs died, my Mentor passes away in my arms, THEN a piece of fiber glass got into the engine of my car (into the air ducts) causing me to breath fiber glass daily for six months (without my knowledge) … until I nearly died from respiratory failure.
All this happened in less than one year. I went from being the happiest man alive (in perfect health) to losing everything overnight (almost my life). I could barely breath and I was praying that my next breath would be my last. I thought I would die from exhaustion because I hadn’t slept in 5 month from the constant violent coughing night and day.
However, simultaneous to my suffering, I had a very strong intuition that this was all happening for a reason. I felt that there was a huge “hidden Gift” in this experience. It was like getting hit by ten 2x4’s all at once! The Un - Simran Singh

DR. JAMES HOPKINS’ REVOLUTIONARY INSTRUMENT DESIGN & TREATMENT METHODOLOGY BASED ON PYTHAGOREAN PRINCIPLES; NEW CD GOLDEN RATIOS USHERS IN NEW ERA FOR HEALING HARMONICS.

While thousands of clients – celebrity and civilian alike – have experienced the gently healing hands of Dr. James Hopkins, relatively few have had the honor of enjoying the effects produced by his new sound healing services. That will soon change, as Dr. Hopkins celebrates the release of his first CD Golden Ratios, based on the Pythagorean principles he uses in his revolutionary healing practice.

Golden Ratios is actually an instrumental recording of a unique acoustic instrument designed to generate harmonic overtones. The instrument is a massive seven-foot long horizontal cello “bed” with 117 strings that was also designed for a human being to lie on top of it while it’s being played. Recorded by Ron Bartlett in a “state of the art” sound stage, the CD contains six tracks varying in length from 3:11 to 18:53 and was mastered by Bernie Grundman Studios.

“What is hard to believe,” says Dr. Hopkins, “is that there are absolutely no ‘special effects’ used on this recording. Everything you hear is pure natural acoustics emanating from the instrument. While nothing can compare to the actual analog experience of lying on top of the instrument itself -- BEING physically present while you ‘feel/hear’ hundreds of strings actually vibrate, surrounding your body with a Living Geometric Cocoon – this high-quality digital recording is the next best thing.”

The profound instruments that gave birth to this extraordinary CD are original creations based on Dr. Hopkins’ collaboration with the finest luthiers in the world. The instruments are the result of seven years of research, studying Pythagorean principles after an early retirement from 25 years as a chiropractor in Studio City, CA.

Sequence. He calls them “Audible Fractals” and says that the “Harmonic Proportions are to sound, what the Golden Ratio is to structure.” He describes some of the heavenly sounds as “cosmic symphonic orchestrations, fathomless galactic choirs, transcendental-multidimensional waveforms, audible sacred geometry with a sublime esthetic.”

This doctor-turned-healing-musician advises that this is not simple relaxation music to listen to while entertaining or driving; rather, it should be used manifestly during meditation, contemplation, intentional healing, massage therapy without casual conversation, soul travel, lucid dream cognition, sleep aid, Tantra, yoga intensive, creative processing, raising consciousness, connecting to source & universal intelligence, or what can generally be categorized as "Inner Plane" work.

Dr. Hopkins has dedicated himself to the healing arts for most of his fifty years. He has been blessed with purpose his entire life, finding tremendous satisfaction and personal reward by facilitating the well being of others. As a chiropractor living in the Los Angeles area, Dr. Hopkins cared for a “dream clientele” for over 25 years. Adhering to a strict policy of word of mouth only, he attracted many thousands of high-caliber patients from all over the world. After decades of appreciating an exuberant lifestyle filled with travel and a supremely rewarding occupation, Dr. Hopkins incurred severe arthritis in both hands. Nature had dictated that it was the end of his Chiropractic career. He explained that – to him -- this massive tragedy was like “telling Picasso he could no longer paint.”

Simultaneous to working through this crisis, Dr. Hopkins came across a book on the life of Pythagoras. Although he remembered nothing about Pythagoras at the time, the information struck a powerful chord in the depths of his Being; a recognition, per se. Something really resonated for Dr. Hopkins when he read that Pythagoras “used music as medicine” and that he used certain sounds, harmonic ratios, intervals and frequencies to treat “conditions.” From then on, Dr. Hopkins felt as if he had “moved into a current” to channel this work into his own healing practice. After several years of study and preoccupation with the concept of harmonics as it applies to healing, Dr. Hopkins to
