Chakra Sound Meditation
(A Powerful Chakra Vowel Sound Meditation Technique That Use Sounds To Open And To Balance 7 chakras)
Each chakra has its own frequency of vibration. It varies from the lower chakra with, the deeper sound to the higher chakra with the fastest sound. Just like each chakra has its own color, it too has its own sound. Sound is perceived through vibration. Whatever may be sound and music, it has the power to influence the inner being with an impact on the energy systems.
Chakra balancing can be done by listening to music or mantra. Mantra or repetition of sound makes the body; mind and soul bring together to a meditative state. At this stage, healing occurs spontaneously creating a vibrational environment. If there is the visualization along with making a sound, it is possible to make the experience deep and powerful. Pitch of the sound depends on the level of chakra and its mantra. The lower level has the lowest and higher for the highest. Chakras located in between have the variation according to their levels.
Each mantra has a seed called as “Bija” in Sanskrit. It is the core of mantra or that chakra. While making sound, concentrate on the chakra. Repeat at least three times, it could be for more times also. Gentle and soft sounds are perfectly fine. It is not necessary that they have to be loud. Tune is not essential.
