The Chakras

The Chakras

The human body contains seven major energy centers know as Chakras. These spinning energy centers help to regulate ones mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. When they are balanced, energy paths flow easily through the body. Balancing the Chakras is a type of holistic healing. Vibrational sound therapy can aide in this healing practice.

Each Chakra has a corresponding color. The Root Chakra (red) is found at the very base of the spine. This Chakra represents grounding and basic trust. Moving up is the Sacral Chakra (orange) located at the sacrum. It expresses our sexuality and creativity. The Solar Plexus (yellow) is in the gut area. It brings about wisdom and power. The Heart Chakra (green) is just that, located at the heart. It reflects love and healing. The Throat Chakra (blue) helps with openness in communication. The Third Eye (indigo) – awareness, and the Crown Chakra (violet) our spirituality.

How does sound therapy help to balance the Chakras? The Chakras respond to musical notes. The Root to the C note. Sacral, D note. Solar Plexus – E note. The Heart, F note. Throat – G note. The Third Eye responds to the A note and the Crown Chakra, the B note. Therapeutic metal and crystal singing bowls are tuned to vibrate at these frequencies bringing about balance to these energy centers when played on or close to the body.
