(Video) Sound Healing Fundamentals: Chakras, Resonance, and Entrainment

Transcript:

Hi everybody. It's Laura Ela with Abundant Balance. I just wanted to give you a quick explanation of how sound frequencies work and how they benefit us.

Starting with the chakras or the energy centers of the body, chakras are considered to be the convergent points where energy flows and interacts within the body.

They're not just physical locations, but they also represent different aspects of our being, influencing our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The seven main chakras run from the bottom of the spine all the way up to the crown of the head.

The sound frequencies align and balance these systems in two ways: through resonance and entrainment.

Each chakra resonates with a different frequency. Each of the instruments that I play in my sound baths, and each singing bowl, plays at its own specific frequency. The correlating vibrations help to open the chakras and facilitate the natural flow of energy, to maintain a harmonious balance in the body.

Entrainment is the process where two or more systems become synchronized with each other, like brainwaves and heart rhythms. The different frequencies stimulate different brainwave patterns, potentially leading us into a greater state of parasympathetic rest and repair versus fight or flight. So, for example, when I play the buffalo drum, I align it to the rhythm of the heartbeat to create entrainment.

So there you have it. I hope that gives you a little bit more explanation of how sound benefits the body. So we'll see you next time.
