The invisible vibrations of sound and music affect the cells of your body. Each tiny vibrating atom or combination of sound waves (harmony) will change the electrical activity of the brain, which will affect your mood and energy.
The magnetic field (resonance) that surrounds everything and everyone is sometimes called an “aura.” In Yoga this “aura” or “energy” corresponds with each of the seven chakras.
Identify Your Energy by the Seven Notes and Seven Chakras
It is believed by some that different notes or tones of the scale have special effects on us. There are seven notes of the major diatonic scale, and there are seven chakras (wheels of energy) surrounding the body, according to yoga philosophy. The chakras are located from the base of the spine to the top of the head. When a certain note of the scale is produced, this is said to activate a certain corresponding chakra. When activated, this energy or aura is sent to the physical body. The Hindus call this subtle, divine energy prana; the Chinese call it chi, and the Japanese know it as ki. It is sometimes called kundalini. Many people report seeing a spinning wheel of light in a certain color for each chakra. Everyone has certain chakras or energy centers activated at different times. Here is a description of the seven chakras, notes and their colors.
Musical Note C: Red. The root chakra located at the base of the spine. It is associated with survival, ambition, grounding one’s physical energy.
Musical Note D – Orange. The sacral or water chakra located just below the navel. It is associated with creativity, sensual and sexual energy, and relationships.
Musical Note E – Yellow. The solar plexus or fire chakra is located midway between the heart and navel. It is associated with physical energy, traveling, personal power and emotions.
Musical Note F – Green. The heart chakra is located in the center of the chest. It is associated with compassion, understanding, love, and healing.
Musical Note G – Blue. The throat chakra is located at the base of the throat. It is associated with communication, speaking one’s truth, clairaudience, and taking away pain.
Musical Note A – Indigo or Purple. The brow or third eye chakra is located in the center of the forehead. It is associated with clairvoyance, intuition, understanding, and inner vision.
Musical Note B – Violet or White. The crown chakra is located at the top of the head. It is associated with spirituality, meditation, and cosmic awareness.
Find Where Your Energy is Concentrated with a Guitar Tuner
When you want to enhance certain energies, find the corresponding note with a tuner or instrument. Hum or listen to that note while visualizing the part of the body where that chakra or energy center is located. There are therapists who use crystal bowls and other methods to create the vibrations and specific tones that you need.
You can check where someone’s energy is most dominant with a piano or guitar tuner. Ask the person to talk about anything that comes to mind for several minutes. Mark on a piece of paper whenever you see a certain note of the scale that the individual’s voice is producing. At the end of the experiment, you will see one or two notes of the scale as dominant. This is where the individual’s energy is centered.
Find Your Comfort Tone By Humming
A more intuitive way to find your healing and comfort tone is to find it by humming. Simply chant or hum the syllable “ooh” or “ah.” Hum down and up a wide register and notice where the tone feels right or comfortable for you. Find that note on a keyboard, tuner or other instrument. Listen to music in that key, chant using that note or get a crystal bowl that resonates that note. You can always come back to your “home” or “healing” tone when you need to get centered or for healing.
