What is Sound Therapy for Chakra’s?
By Anamere

This month’s theme is Chakra’s. I’m sure you have read other articles
within the newsletter on what Chakra’s are and various tools to balance
them. I am hoping this article will enhance this knowledge by utilizing
sound to balance chakra’s. Now that we know and have thought about
the effects of Chakra’s on our Bodies. The question might come to mind -
Can sounds can be utilized to balance our Chraka’s too?

The answer is yes.

Utilizing Musical Instruments, Tuning Forks, Crystal Bowls, Singing
Bowls, Drumming, Chanting and Toning (using your voice in a vowel tone
or singing vowel tones into the chakras) can all be used for our Chakra’s.
But first lets talk general info on sound and the human body and the effects
of sounds on our body.

You may have heard of Dr. Emoto and the extensive scientific research he
has performed over the last decade. This research documented the
relationship words and sound on water molecules. Dr. Emoto’s research
found that when certain word were place on containers or “sounds”
(music) played while water was crystalizing the water molecules changed
form. While certain words such as “Love” or “Gratitude” formed beautiful
crystals classical music produced similar effects. Other sounds and
phrases such as “I Hate you” or Heavy metal music produced muddy or
cloudy water crystals.

It is then interesting to think about the human body. Made up primarily of
water, about 75% what remains is also muscled water, and to think of the
effects of sounds and words on our body’s. It is even more interesting to
think of sound changing and balance the frequency of our Chakra’s in turn
effect the body.

It can and it does!

Study’s performed by many scientist have shown the effect of sound
therapy, toning, chanting and drumming as a balancing tool for the Chakra
system. But how, you may ask, is this measured?

Although Eastern Societies have know this for many centuries by utilizing
the hands and other tools to sense “The unseen energy” of the body, and
things of this nature. Resent studies in the West have used a variety of
devices to back this knowledge with science. Devices such as a SQUID*
Magnetometer, Radionics, Electromagnetic devices and other more
metaphysical tools such as dowsing and pendulums.(*SQUID= super
conducting quantum interference device)



On a more basic level. I like to think about music and the effect it can
have on mood and the way I feel. Either negatively or positively. Think of
a song you enjoy (or not if you wish). Perhaps your favorite song on the
radio, a song from childhood, a loved classical piece or maybe drumming
or chanting. Think of this song. How does it make you feel? Or is it high
symphonic sounds that fill you with a sense of connection and oneness.
Or an upbeat little ditty that creates a sense of social belonging when
heard in a social setting. Is it filled with low tones which might fill you with
comfortable or uncomfortable sexual energy depending on time and place.
It really is interesting to think about music notes and tones making you
feel good or bad.

It is more interesting because each of the chakras is energy that is vibrating
at a certain frequency or “tone”. Each in a logical and orderly sequence of
seven vibrations. Each of the colors of the spectrum also represent a
series of seven vibrations in a logical and orderly sequence, as do the
notes of the musical scale.

Hummmm... Interesting indeed!

Music played in a certain key vibrates a particular chakra. We feel a
particular way when we hear that note. Remember solfege?; the method
of assigning syllables to names of the musical scale: Do, Re, Mé, Fa, Sol,
La, Ti. Each of these frequencies can be used from the 1st to 7th chakra,
the tones and elements become more and more subtle, moving through the
five physical elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether, to the spiritual
elements of inner sound and inner light. The heaviest vibrations or the
longest wavelength are on the bottom and the lightest on the top.

The following is a list of each chakra, basic area it covers, color, musical
note, vowel tones (you might speak or sing vowel tones into the chakra
also can use tone patterns besides the vowels such as: Ah Ee Oh / Eeee
Ahh Ohhh / Ah EL Ee O /A E O / ma / Ha / AUM Hey hey hey-ma ma
hey hey /), tuning fork or crystal bowl frequency which will balance it,
element and intention for each Chakra. I hope you will find this useful.

In ending you can utilize a variety of musical instruments and other sound
tools to balance Chakra’s. There are a variety of Singing Bowls, Crystal
Bowls, Bells, Wind Chimes, Tuning Forks to aid with this. I encourage
you to sing, listen and connect through sound any way/any time you can
you might just balance your chakra’s while your doing this! Listening to
natural sounds such as wind, water, birds and crickets are beneficial. And
of courses singing in the shower as well. It really IS good for the Soul!

May your day be filled with Light and your being be filled with sound!
