What is Therapeutic Sound Healing?
Modern science is only now beginning to recognizing what the ancient mystics and wise men have told us for centuries; that everything (including you) is in
a constant state of vibration. The most elemental state of vibration is that of sound. Everything has an optimum range of vibration, and that rate is called
resonance. When we are in resonance, we are in balance. One way to use sound to heal the body is to recognize that every organ, and every cell, absorbs and
emits sound, and has a particular optimum resonate frequency. By exposing the body and brain to certain therapeutic sound healing frequencies, they will begin to "resonate"
with those sound healing freuqencies, much like a drum that begins to vibrate with the rythms around it.
Emotions and mental states also have certain resonant frequencies; this is the secret behind the transformative power of spiritual music and song, spoken
prayers and mantras. When exposed to a resonant sound frequency long enough, the body (and mind) will fall into sync; if you have ever been to a large rock concert
or a rave, you will understand this. If you sing in a choir, or regularly meditate with mantras, you will intuitively understand this too, because you have
experienced it. Therapeutic sound healing and sound therapy techniques are used to realign the "out of sync frequencies" you may be experiencing within you mind or
body, by exposing you to the optimum sound healing frequencies for the changes you wish to make within yourself.
What Are Solfeggio Frequencies?
These original sound frequencies were used in Ancient Gregorian Chants, such as the great hymn to St. John the Baptist. The chants and their special tones
were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings when sung in harmony during religious masses. I use the Solfeggio frequencies as carrier waves for my
sound healing audio programs.
The Six Solfeggio Frequencies include:
1. UT - 396 Hz - Liberating Guilt and Fear
2. RE - 417 Hz - Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
3. MI - 528 Hz - Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
4. FA - 639 Hz - Connecting/Relationships
5. SOL - 741 Hz - Awakening Intuition
6. LA - 852 Hz - Returning to Spiritual Order
These sound healing Solfeggio frequencies are reputed to have many psycho-spiritual and physical healing benefits- the third note, frequency 528, relates to the note MI on the
Western musical scale, and derives from the phrase "MI-ra gestorum", which in Latin means "miracle." Amazingly, this is the exact frequency used by genetic
biochemists to repair broken DNA ? the genetic blueprint upon which life is based!
What Are Chakra Healing Sounds?
Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning "spinning wheel of energy". These energy centers within our bodies receive and transmit energy, and each is situated at
a major endocrine gland, and nerve bundle within the physical body, called a plexus. Each Chakra is connected and associated with a different part of the
body, as well as different emotions, thoughts and spiritual states. There are seven major Chakras. Each chakra has a color, and different gemstones and
crystals can be associated with these, as well as different sounds.
Understanding and using your chakras can promote physical, emotional and spiritual healing. In an "East meets West" coincidence, the Solfeggio frequencies
correspond to the Chakra tones, with the Crown Chakra vibrating at 960 Hz. The subliminal and self hypnosis sound healing programs on this website utilize the various
Chakra tones associated with the issues addressed in the program to help heal body, mind and soul.
The Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine. It is closest to the Earth, and can be utilized for Earthly grounding. It controls your physical
vitality, ‘flight or fight’ response, physical survival instincts, and the emotions of desire, anger, jealousy and greed. The First, or Root, Chakra governs
life lessons involving the lessons of the material world, such as survival, and stores information involving family beliefs and loyalty, you ability to
stand up for yourself, superstition, instincts, physical pain or pleasure, and touch. Your sense of self esteem, safety and security are also based here.
An imbalance in the First Chakra may be indicated by a loss of interest in the ‘real world’ and practical survival, obsessions and addictions, volatile
emotions, selfishness, restlessness and a lack of energy.
The Navel Chakra is located just below the navel, about 2-3 fingers. It is also known as the Sacral, or Second Chakra. In Martial Arts, it is called
the “Hara”. It represents your sexuality, creativity, self esteem, pleasures and frustrations. The Second Chakra governs life lessons involving blaming
and guilt, manifesting, money and prosperity, sex, power, control, and it is the base of you creativity and sense of morality. Information stored in the
Second Chakra involves feelings of duality, personal magnetism, your patterns of control, your sociability, and emotions and feelings. An imbalance in the
Second Chakra may be experienced as an eating disorder, drug or alcohol addiction, depression, and intimacy issues, including impotence and frigidity.
The Solar Plexus Chakra is just above your navel, at the center of your solar plexus. Emotional memories are stored here, and it's where your ‘gut feelings’
come from. It is the seat of your emotional life, and many of us are naturally connected to our environments through this chakra. The Solar Plexus, or Third
Chakra, governs life lessons involving your self esteem, a fear of rejection or an oversensitivity to criticism, distorted self-image, and a fear of your
“secrets being found out”. Information stored in the Third Chakra involves your personal power, your personality, your sense of ‘knowing’ and your sense of
belonging. An imbalance in the Third Chakra may manifest as a difficulty concentrating, a poor ability to make decisions, or to judge a situation
accurately, a feeling that you are more important, or less than, than other people and trouble taking action or getting things done.
The Heart Chakra is in the heart. It is the center for unconditional love, tolerance, empathy, forgiveness, and compassion. It is the seat of the soul.
The Heart, or Fourth Chakra, governs life lessons involving love and compassion, self confidence and self acceptance, inspiration and hope, generosity, and
on the flip side, feelings of despair, hate, envy, fear, jealousy, and anger. Information stored in the Heart Chakra includes the connections or "heart
strings" to those we love. An imbalance in the Heart Chakra may be felt as a lack of self discipline, difficulty in relationships, attempts to live
vicariously through others, and depending on someone else for your happiness.
The Throat Chakra is located in the throat, near the thyroid gland. It is the chakra of communication, expression and judgment. The Throat, or Fifth Chakra,
governs life lessons of self expression and speaking one’s truth, creativity (especially writing or speaking) faith, and making decisions and will power.
On the flip side, issues of addiction, the need to criticize, lack of authority, and indecisiveness. Information stored in the Fifth Chakra includes
self-knowledge and truth, attitudes, and the senses of hearing, taste, and smell. An imbalance in the Throat Chakra can be felt as difficulty in self
expression, poor learning ability, habitual lying, fear, doubt, and uncertainty.
The Brow Chakra is located in the center of the brain (not the center of the forehead), and is also known as "the Third Eye". This chakra governs spiritual
direction and wisdom. It is the seat of dreams, inner vision, and the spiritual life. Life lessons centering around the Brow Chakra include understanding,
“reality checks”, detachment, open mindedness, trusting your intuition and insights, and developing your psychic abilities. Self-realization, and releasing
hidden and repressed negative thinking. The information stored within the Third Eye Chakra include seeing things clearly (symbolically or literally), wisdom,
intuition, and intellect. An imbalance in the Sixth Chakra might be felt as a learning disability, co-ordination problems, or sleep disorders.
The Crown Chakra is located at the crown of the head. It balances the inner and outer person, and is the connection for the higher self. It is the channel
through which we receive divine guidance, purpose and wisdom. Life lessons to be learned through the Crown Chakra are intuitive knowing, integration of the
whole Self, spirituality, living in the now, discovery of the Divine, the ability to see the big picture in the stream of Life, devotion, inspiration, values
ethics, trust, selflessness, humanitarianism. The information stored in the Seventh Chakra includes your connection to the Divine, your life’s purpose,
your connection to past lives, and Immortality. An imbalance in the Crown Chakra may be felt as lack of purpose, loss of meaning or identity, mental illness,
and senility.
Tibetan Singing Bowls

In Tibetan Buddhist practice, singing bowls are used for meditation, trance and prayer. The use of singing bowls in Tibet is the subject of much debate and
many stories. Some people say they were used for meditation, while others say they were magical tools for transformation of self and of matter. Personally,
I think it is both, and that is why I primarily use Tibetan Singing Bowls (in harmony with the soothing sound of the ocean's waves) to produce the magical
and transformative sound healing used in my sound healing audio programs. The organic sound healing tones are unrivaled for inducing a trance state, and by using tibetan singing bowls that are attuned
to the various Chakra sounds, we can facilitate near magical transformations body, mind and soul.
The old, traditional Tibetan Singing bowls were made out of an amalgam of the Seven Alchemical Metals, which correspond to:
Lead - Saturn - 1st Chakra
Iron - Mars - 2nd Chakra
Tin - Jupiter - 3rd Chakra
Gold - Sun - 4th Chakra
Copper - Venus - 5th Chakra
Silver - Moon - 6th Chakra
Mercury - Mercury - 7th Chakra
As you might see, there seems to be a theme running through this page, that of the healing power of sound and the Chakras! I hope you enjoy listening to my
sound healing audio programs as much as I enjoy producing them!
