Sound Healing to Balance the Chakras
|
Sound Healing is the use of sound to balance and align the physical
body in energy centers called "chakras." It is a vibrational therapy
and can be understand as being energy medicine. A common medium for
sound healing is Crystal Singing Bowls.
The use of sound and music for healing is ancient and can be found in
many spiritual and sacred traditions. Sound Healing, based on ancient
techniques, has recently become a popular again among alternative
healing enthusiasts. One of the reasons it is so popular is that you
can find sound anywhere. If you know how to use it, any sound can
provide healing. Practitioners may likewise use anything that falls
within the scope of sound. Although mediums range from classical music
to drumming and chanting to electronically synthesized sounds to
acoustic instruments, The Chakra Chack provides quality crystal singing bowls used by Practitioners Dr. Andrew
Weil and Dr. Mitchell Gaynor. The use of sound as a means of healing
dates back to prehistoric times. Shaman chanted and drummed to heal
people. In the schools of Egypt, India, Greece, Egypt and other
countries of knowledge, the use of sound and music for healing was a
widely used and highly developed science. Scientists had found sound,
or sonic vibration, to be among the fundamental forces in the universe.
More recently, Dr. Hans Jenny of Switzerland demonstrated that various
substances such as plastics, liquids and sand would take on different
shapes depending upon the frequencies they were subjected to. These
Cymatic experiments showed that sound has the ability to manipulate
molecular structure. Since the body is composed mostly of liquids, it
becomes easy to see how sound can manipulate the human body.
Pioneers of instrumentation Sound Healing, include Peter Guy Manners,
MD from England, Alfred A. Tomatis, MD from France, and Robert Monroe.
Manners' Cymatic Instrument projects documented specific frequencies
and their effect on the human body. Tomatis' Electronic Ear uses sound
to treat emotional problems and learning disabilities. Monroe
discovered that sound waves could be used to synchronize the two halves
of the brain to create an accelerated consciousness.
The vibrational healing tools known as Crystal Singing Bowls are a by-product of the computer industry. Perfect quartz crucibles are
a prime growing environment for computer microchips. Previous to the
beginning of the current interest in sound healing, rejected bowls were
broken and re-used to form new bowls. Eventually, as sound therapists
became aware of the vibrational qualities of these quartz bowls, they
began to buy the rejected bowls as tools for sound healing.
