Chakra Balancing with Sound Healing

 


How to Balance & Tune
Chakra Energy
Using Healing Sound Vibrations

Page Summary | Chakra Energy  | Sound Healing | Chakra Tone Chart


Chakra Energy  

Chakras are spinning wheels of subtle energy.  The major chakras span from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.  They guide the wellbeing of our bodymind and lifeforce energy.  You can learn more about chakras and their influences here.   Get info related to chakra elements, directions, sounds, senses, and other attributes here.

Chakra energy is often out of balance.  It can run too high or too low.  This can negatively influence your actions, relationships, as well as your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Use my Chakra Chart to help you in knowing if your energy is balanced, excessive, or deficient. A variety of helpful strategies are given to improve your wellbeing.

There is a lot you can do to gain balance and have better health by either increasing or decreasing chakra energy.  This can be supported through intentionally using sound, color, crystals, and mantra.  Yoga postures and pranayama (breathwork) influence the chakras. Healthy lifestyle choices make a difference.  Meditation, guided relaxation and imagery are very effective. Using hand and finger positions called Yoga Mudras are also powerful.


Sound Healing

Sound healing intentionally uses musical instruments and vocals to help with harmonizing the body, mind, emotions, and spirit into wholeness. A positive impact on wellbeing happens when these dimensions are tuned and in balance.

Sensing calmness, connections, mental clarity, emotional equilibrium, insightful awareness, and balanced energy often happen.

A variety of instruments can be used including Tibetan and crystal bowls, tuning forks, drums, bells, flutes, gongs, chimes, strings, and keyboards.  Vocal singing and toning are powerful as well.

The tones, frequencies, and vibrations used in sound healing are experienced both physically and energetically. Obviously, sounds are heard with the ears. Not so obviously, they are experienced and absorbed through the skin, by the cells, and in the energy field.

Sound healing facilitates vibrant health by activating the relaxation response, synchronizing and activating brainwave frequencies beneficially, and supporting heart coherence.  It has been shown to regulate the nervous system. Chakra energy is often toned and harmonized.  Chakra disharmony is discussed below.

Sound healing is based on age-old teachings and backed up by modern science.  It’s interesting, relaxing, and fun.


Chakra Tone Chart

This Chakra Tone Chart can help balance your chakra energy to improve your wellbeing.  These sound vibrations are based on ancient Vedic (Yoga) and Tibetan notes and tones, and western music.

Use this Chakra Chart to help you know if your energy is balanced, excessive, or deficient. It gives you a variety of helpful strategies to improve your wellbeing.

Try all the healing sound vibrations to find out what you like and works best for you. Notice your felt reaction to each of these scales, notes, and sounds to determine how your bodymind responds to each vibration.

  • The Sargam scale from Indian music goes from the lowest to the highest note of any scale (like solfege or do-re-mi).  This makes it very versatile. It allows you to start on any note depending on your vocal range or the instruments you have on hand.  For example, if you have Tibetan or crystal bowls, start on the lowest tone for the root chakra and play progressively higher tones for ascending up through the chakras.
  • Yoga (Vedic) tones are based on the western diatonic scale.
  • Tibetan tones and notes are based upon the perfect 5th interval.
  • Bija sounds encode the 5 elements into sound. They are used to stimulate and strengthen chakra energy when depleted.
  • Vowel tones diffuse, connect, and move energy.  They are helpful to calm and soothe energy and when energy is excessive.
    • Alternate vowels are sometimes used instead of those shown on the chart.  Try these variations out on yourself to find out which vowels resonant most for you.  They are Root – UH (as in huh).  Sacral – OOO (two).  Solar Plexus – OH (toe).  Heart – AH (awe).  Throat – EYE (eye). Third eye – AYE (play).  Crown – EEE (speak).

Yoga & Mindfulness classes, retreats & workshops with Julie Lusk provide the perfect way to get exercise, gain flexibility, add strength, and relieve stress.  Focus is on opening, balancing and strengthening the body/mind/spirit connection through yoga and meditation.  Mindful stretching, focused breathing and yoga nidra (guided relaxation) are combined to create a relaxed, secure atmosphere that is contemplative, challenging and fun.

Holiday Energizers

December 19, 2011 by Julie Lusk

Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, St. Nicholas, Kwanza, Winter or Summer Solstice, Navidades, Hanukkah, St. Lucia Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s, the holidays can be stressful.

 

Decide now whether this year will be full of the season’s stressful traps or fulfilling with plenty of treasures to be thankful for.  Take some time to set priorities and make the necessary changes so the holidays are inspiring and energizing instead of a drain.  Pay attention to what your needs and wishes are for your body, mind, and heart while finding the balance with sharing with others.  I hope these Holiday Energizers from Whole Person Associates help you as much as they help me.

Cheers!

 

Know what goodies will fill you.  What kind of contact will be fulfilling for you?  What kind of gift exchange will be meaningful to you?  What do you need to help your heart and soul feel refreshed?  If you know clearly what you want, it’s easier to choose activities that are likely to satisfy your desires.

 

Ask for what you want.  Don’t hint.  Don’t wait for someone to read your mind.  Don’t expect others to guess what will satisfy you.  Speak up.  If you’re lonely, ask someone to share your celebration – or ask to share in someone else’s.  If you love surprises, let people know.  If you need time alone in the midst of togetherness, say so.  If you can’t get what you want, want what you get, it’s much more satisfying than wishing for the impossible.

Rose gold flute handmade by Dave Lusk

David Lusk is a master flute maker who specialized in making customized, handmade gold and silver symphonic flutes and head joints.  He serviced woodwinds and manufactured parts for new and antique flutes for over 40 years. He began designing and building handmade flutes and head joints during the early 80’s after apprenticing with the Landell Flute Company in Vermont.  He is retired from servicing classical flutes, piccolos, and clarinets.

Currently, Dave is happily hand-crafting Native American style flutes from wood.  Doing so unites his love of flute-building and woodworking with his love of music, knowledge of acoustics, and the intricacies of  instrument design.  He enjoys adding unique artwork to each flute he designs and makes.

Dave lives in the Cincinnati area. His customers live throughout the world.
