“Entrainment is the tendency for two oscillating bodies to ‘lock into phase’ or synchronize with each other when exposed to each other long enough.” (Bonnie Baumgartner)
“Entrainment is actually an aspect of resonance. Resonance may be defined as the frequency at which an object most naturally wants to vibrate.
“One object may set another object in motion if it shares the same resonant frequency.
“If for example, you strike a tuning fork of 100 cycles per second and bring it near another tuning fork of that same frequency, the second tuning fork will be set in motion.
“Even though it has not been struck, the second fork will begin to vibrate and sound merely by being in the same field as the vibrating tuning fork.”

While attending my young child to sleep, I use visualizations of colors, music , and thoughts turned “real” to help us drift to a quiet place. I feel that our hearts or vibrations slow down together.
It’s a wonderful thing to “match” another being in this way.
