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).
