Chakras are centers of energy located on the midline of the body. There are 7 main chakras … each corresponding to a different life function. They are generally known as:
1st Chakra (Root/red) – survival
2nd Chakra (Sacral/orange) – creative
3rd Chakra (Solar Plexus/yellow) – power
4th Chakra (Heart/green) – love
5th Chakra (Throat/blue) – expression
6th Chakra (3rd Eye/indigo) – intuition
7th Chakra (Crown/violet) – spiritual connection
The Chakra System is very interesting, because it reflects the vibrational level of you … both your inner and outer worlds. When chakra energy is balanced, it is reflected in a more balanced life physically, emotionally & spiritually. Each chakra also corresponds to a different body area, neural network, organ system, vibration, color – and a different musical note or frequency:
1st Chakra – Note C – skeletal/spine
2nd Chakra – Note D – reproduction/bladder
3rd Chakra – Note E – stomach/liver
4th Chakra – Note F – heart/circulation
5th Chakra – Note G – lungs/throat
6th Chakra – Note A – sinus/lower brain
7th Chakra – Note B – nerves/upper brain
Everything vibrates … and where there is vibration … there is sound. Every atom, molecule, cell, gland and organ of the human body absorbs and emits sound and has a ‘vibration signature’ which reflects your emotional and physical health.
When an organ or body part is healthy, it creates a natural resonant frequency in harmony with the rest of the body. Basically … we emit sound. And just as a musical instrument can go out of tune with use, so can our bodies – creating disharmony & dis-ease.

Singing Bowls can help balance the Chakra energy system. Each crystal bowl is specifically tuned to a chakra frequency. When singing bowls are played, and particular sound frequencies are projected into a dis-eased area, correct harmonic patterns can be restored.
Scientific studies show that sound can produce changes in the autonomic, immune, endocrine and neuropeptide systems. Dis-harmony within the body can be restructured by sound.
The sounds from singing bowls are calming and induce a sense of peacefulness … it is a relaxation that goes beyond the physical body. The tones of each chakra bowl will permeate your system – resonating your essence – so that inner chaos, conflict, and dissonance seem almost immediately to be transformed into harmony.
Only recently has the use of sound and music reappeared as a valuable healing mode in our western culture. Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, Author of The Healing Power of Sound: Recovery from Life-Threatening Illness using Sound, Voice, and Music; Director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center states:
“Sound enters the healing equation from several directions:
It may alter cellular functions through energetic effects;
it may entrain biological systems to function more homeostatically;
it may calm the mind and therefore the body;
or it may have emotional effects,
which influence neurotransmitters and neuropeptides,
which in turn help to regulate the immune system
–the healer within.”
The goal of music therapy is to reduce stress and pain, promote deep relaxation, develop self-awareness and creativity. Steven Halpern, a composer of healing music said:
“In my opinion, certain music heals by assisting the body to come into its natural state of balance and harmony. Also, the body heals itself most effectively in a state of deep relaxation.“
Regular listening to crystal singing bowls is a powerful, but gentle, way to balance the hemispheres of the brain, tune and re-harmonize the molecular structure, and strengthen the mind, body and natural immune defense system. They help radiate out negative energy and stress which restrict our body’s ability to function at its fullest potential.
Imagine being completely immersed within soothing, deeply nourishing, healing and empowering sound vibrations resonating from quartz crystal singing bowls. Sound is a uniquely potent form of energy that entrains us to the vibrations of our own essence and that of the universe. What do you think your sound is like?
What better way to greet the ‘Return of the Light’!
