About the Chakras
Vortexes of Energy in and Around the Body
There are at least 7 major chakras or energy vortexes in our body. Learn more about the colours, shapes, meaning, sanskrit names, frequencies, chants, mantras and mandalas of each chakra.
The chakras are energy centers located along the spine that are believed to correspond to different aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. There are seven main chakras, each with a different color and associated sound frequency.
The 7 chakras are:
-
Root chakra (Muladhara): Located at the base of the spine. Associated with the color red and the sound frequency of 396Hz.
-
Sacral chakra (Svadhisthana): Located in the lower abdomen. Associated with the color orange and the sound frequency of 417Hz.
-
Solar plexus chakra (Manipura): Located in the upper abdomen. Associated with the color yellow and the sound frequency of 528Hz.
-
Heart chakra (Anahata): Located in the center of the chest. Associated with the color green and the sound frequency of 639Hz.
-
Throat chakra (Vishuddha): Located in the throat. Associated with the color blue and the sound frequency of 741Hz.
-
Third eye chakra (Ajna): Located in the forehead. Associated with the color indigo and the sound frequency of 852Hz.
-
Crown chakra (Sahasrara): Located at the top of the head. Associated with the color violet and the sound frequency of 963Hz.
The solfeggio frequencies, which include 396Hz, 417Hz, 528Hz, 639Hz, 741Hz, 852Hz, and 963Hz, are believed to have healing properties and can be used in sound healing and meditation to balance the chakras. Each solfeggio frequency corresponds to a specific chakra, and using the frequency associated with a particular chakra can help to activate and balance that chakra.
For example, the 528Hz frequency is associated with the solar plexus chakra, which is associated with personal power, confidence, and self-esteem. Using 528Hz in sound healing or meditation can help to activate and balance the solar plexus chakra, promoting a sense of empowerment and self-confidence.
To use solfeggio frequencies with the chakras, you can listen to recordings of the frequencies, either on their own or as part of a guided meditation or sound healing session. You can also chant the corresponding vowel sound for each chakra, which can help to stimulate and balance the energy of the chakra.
It’s important to note that while there is some scientific research supporting the potential benefits of sound healing and the use of solfeggio frequencies, much of the evidence is anecdotal or based on small studies. It’s also important to approach sound healing with an open mind and to consult with a healthcare professional before using it as a substitute for medical treatment.
