Chakra Therapy - Balancing With Colors and Sound

Definition of Chakras

Seven Chakras

Chakra (which in Sanskrit is spelled Cakra, the "c" being pronounced as a "ch") is a Sanskrit term which means spinning wheel or vortex. Today, the modern usage of the word is "Wheel of Light," although originally it was used to refer to a chariot wheel.

Interestingly, the ancient healers' description of the Chakras or Energy Centers first studied and written about 2600 years ago has proven to be anatomically correct. The location of the 7 Chakras which everyone has, correspond to our bodies as follows:

• The first five are the five main nerve ganglia of the spinal column where the nerve endings form junctions. At the nerve ganglia, nerves from different organs and parts the body join the spinal cord.
• The other two are the upper and lower areas of the brain.

Each Chakra is also associated with one of the seven endocrine glands. Thus each organ, the entire body and its functions are connected to our Chakras by the nerves which generate out from them and by the endocrine glands associated with them.

Chakras and Vibration

Sound Therapy CDs

Everything moves, from atoms to planets millions of light years away. Electrons move around the nucleus of an atom. Planets revolve around their suns. Everything moves and therefore everything vibrates.

Where there is vibration, there is sound.

Every part of our body vibrates at a specific sound frequency. Each of the seven Chakras has a specific sound associated with it. Colors also vibrate at a specific frequency. And each Chakra has a color associated with it.

That is why the use of color and sound can return balance to our Chakras causing restored health.

The Key To Health and Healing

Chakras are associated with our physical, mental and emotional states.

When energy does not flow freely from the Chakras, the body does not function properly. We need to reestablish the free flow of energy in order to heal.

The key to health is for our 7 Chakras to be in balance. Through stress of any kind, physical, emotional, psychological, our Chakras can become unbalanced or out of tune. Eventually, disease can result. returning our Chakras to balance can heal our diseases. Or better yet, keeping our Chakras in balance can keep us healthy physically, emotionally and psychologically.

Sound Therapy, Color Therapy and Health

Each Chakra or Energy Center is governed by a specific sound and a specific color.

As we expose our body to different color and sound vibrations with Chakra therapy, our bodies absorb that vibration, changing our own body's energy vibrations which can bring our Chakras energy back into balance.

Is There Such A Thing As Too Much Sound Therapy?

There is no need to be concerned about exposing your body to too much of a particular sound when you try to achieve balance. Your body will absorb as much as it needs and no more. It is like a bucket of water that will simply overflow when it is at its capacity.

Your body will usually let you know when it has absorbed enough of a particular sound. You simply will not have a desire for more.
