The chakras, or energy centers within our body, play a crucial role in our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Healing music, frequencies and seed mantra chants (‘beej’ mantras) are some of the best known ancient techniques to align, balance and unblock our 7 energy centers.
Science behind Chakra Healing Frequencies and Chants. How do these techniques actual work?
Each chakra vibrates at a specific frequency, and by immersing ourselves in healing music and sacred chants, we can nurture and balance these vital energy points.
On a more scientific level – these ancient techniques are based on principles of frequency resonance. Remember that experiment we used to do in our science lab, where when we kept a vibrating tuning fork near a hollow pipe, it started to vibrate too. Actually most of the musical instruments use principle of resonance, Indian instruments especially – such as sitar, sarod, sarangi, they all have sympathetic strings which are not played, but they resonate when the main strings are played.
Similarly, when we come closer to these healing frequencies, our bodies, and our cells and our energy system starts resonate with the same frequency as the music. More we immerse ourselves in these sounds, more we start to align and tune our chakras.
