CHAKRA BALANCING and use of Sound Healing

The chakras are energy centers in your body that play an important role in your health. Most people think they need to be in a yoga class to work with the chakras. Sound healing with tuning forks can be a simple but powerful way to balance the chakras and improve the flow of energy in the body, resulting in less stress, and more energy to make life changes.

Where are the Chakras?

Chakras are the bodies 7 major energy vortex centers that run along the spinal column extending from the base of the spine to the brain. The chakras are the control center for the flow of energy in the body and all energy coming into the body. They link the physical body to the subtle energy fields around the body that represent emotional, mental and spiritual activities. The chakras are connected to the physical body through the spinal column. There are three primary energy channels in the body.

The central energy channel, the Sushumna, runs along the spinal column. Two other channels, the Ida (female energy) and Pingala (male energy) intertwine along the Sushumna. The chakras are created where these two channels cross the Sushumna. Excesses or deficiencies in each chakra will indicate where the body is out of balance. These imbalances can manifest in the form of physical aches and pains or illness or in an emotional imbalances such as anxiety or an addiction. Although many people associate the chakras with sitting on a yoga mat, sound can be an effective way to improve the flow of energy in the body and restore the proper balance to each chakra.

Using Tuning Forks and How it Works

Quantum physics is now confirming that our bodies are not solid matter, but an orchestra of vibrational frequencies. Each cell, organ or body system has its own optimal frequency that corresponds to a health state. Illness and disease indicate that the vibrational frequency is out of balance. The specific frequencies of various sounds can change the frequency of the chakra. At a metaphysical level, aches and pains are an indication at the cellular level that the life force energy of the physical body is blocked.

The power of sound can release trapped energy and make this energy available for restoring health and making life changes. Tuning forks can search out and work on blockages in the subtle energy bodies that surround the physical body and change imbalances before they manifest at the physical level.

How it works

Since there are many types of tuning forks that use different frequencies. Some are based on the current musical scale while other are based on specific numerical sequences or energies.

One example is the tuning based on the ancient Solfeggio frequencies which are a part of an ancient musical scale that was originally part of the Gregorian Chant. These powerful frequencies were replaced with modifications in the musical scale based. These frequencies have been rediscovered and are now being used to reduce stress, increase energy flow and facilitate the body’s ability to heal itself.

Each of the six frequencies correspond to one of the chakras:
1st Chakra uses 396 Hz for Liberating Guilt and Fear
2nd Chakra uses 417 Hz for Facilitating Change
3rd Chakra uses 528 Hz for Transformation and Miracles
4th Chakra uses 639 Hz for Connecting to Others
5th Chakra uses 741 Hz for Expressions and Solutions
6th Chakra uses 852 Hz for Awakening Intuition
7th chakra connects to the Universe and the previous six frequencies

What to expect..

A PURE practitioner works by having the client first lie down on a massage table. The client hears the tone of the first tuning fork. The fork is held over each chakra to achieve balance. After the root chakra, the client hears a combination of the UT fork and the next chakra. The interval between the two forks is important. The PURE practitioner creates an energy bridge from the root chakra to each succeeding chakra. The two forks are used to trace the intertwining energy channels up the base of the spine to the crown.

Chakra balancing is an important role of the energy within the body and maintaining the proper balance necessary for optimum health. Sound therapy can restore balance to the chakras and facilitate the movement of energy throughout the body. It can be a simple but is definite and powerful technique.

CRYSTAL THERAPY

Crystals are powerful healing tools and you can us them to boost and help with your physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial health; and they can support your romantic life, help you and your children sleep better, amplify your healing and assist you in feeling happier and peaceful.  Although they may seem like inert objects, crystals are both filled with energy and very much alive.  They’re basically conduits of energy.  That is why crystals are used in watches, radios, satellite communications and medical devices.  Modern technology uses ancient natural crystals to boost radio waves and vibrational medicine using crystal energy.

Crystals are thought of as “new age” but they are not.  They have always been a part of our old planet for a long time.  Crystal Children (sensitive to crystal energy and/or psychic babies) are showing a knowledge wisdom that comes from the many lifetimes that crystals serve as jewelry, healing tools and have inhabitant of this plant for a long time.  They are associated with ancient wisdom and heavenly caverns of mystery.  Why? Because crystals are record-keepers of memories and knowledge about the earth’s spiritual healing energy and are members of the mineral kingdom in the physical world.  We are entering into a new phase in our relationship with earth when working with crystal therapy.

If you believe, like we do, God is omnipresent everywhere thus the Creator is within the crystals. Crystals have a spirit that is alive and vibrates, all good and the desire to bring joy, healing and happiness to earth.  Crystal therapy is an intuitive way of working with stones to effectively heal or enhance the energy flow for healing.  When you work with stones you evoke the angel energy and guidance by channeling the divine light through you body.   Clearly understand and keep in your mind that your intention stated by your tone will be the outcome and the crystal amplifies that energy.  So the old adage, “ the power of positive think” holds very true here so be careful with your underlying intentions.  Before you begin, take the time to center and quiet your mind and body.  Ask yourself then “What are my intentions with this crystal?”  Ego-based intentions can block healing.  Let the light and love flow through you into the crystal and allow healing.

HYPNOSIS

When you hear the word hypnosis, you may picture the mysterious hypnotist figure popularized in movies, comic books and television. This ominous, goateed man waves a pocket watch back and forth, guiding his subject into a semi-sleep, zombie-like state. Once hypnotized, the subject is compelled to obey, no matter how strange or immoral the request.  Stage performance would have you barking like a dog and a snap of a finger.

This popular representation bears little resemblance to actual hypnotism, of course. In fact, modern understanding of hypnosis contradicts this conception on several key points. Subjects in a hypnotic trance are not slaves to their “masters” — they have absolute FREE WILL. And you are not really in a semi-sleep state — you’re actually hyper-attentive. .

What is Hypnosis?

Being hypnotized means to simply be in a trance-like, very relaxed state.  All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and you don’t even need a hypnotherapist to become hypnotized. Have you ever lost yourself in a really good book or movie? Ever daydream? If so, you have already experienced the state of hypnosis. But a hypnotherapist, however, can effectively help you take on physical and mental health challenges in a more directed way.

Hypnosis: Alternative medicine

While hypnosis has been around forever, it has recently become more and more mainstream as people have been reaching for alternative ways to rid themselves of pain, addictions and stress. According to the Mayo Clinic, hypnotherapy may be used to change negative behaviors, such as smoking, bed-wetting and overeating. It can also be used to reduce or eliminate fears, stress and anxiety.

Hypnosis creates a new inner belief

The theory behind hypnosis, is that hypnosis can gently release blocks and fears from the subconscious levels of our mind, and create a new inner belief that will set the wheels in motion to make changes in the way you think, feel and behave.

What happens during hypnosis?

During an initial consultation, the hynotherapist will ask you questions about the issue you are seeking to resolve.  You set the goals your want to achieve i.e. stop smoking, manage your weight, eat healthy, forgive someone, perform better in job, become less angry or more romantic.

Typically, you will be asked to either lay down or sit down in a comfortable chair. The therapist will gently guide you to a state of relaxation. Some people will feel very at peace, others may feel light while others may say they don’t feel anything at all. Regardless, the goal is to get as relaxed and calm as possible.

The therapist will then begin to make new suggestions to you while you are in this state. For example, if you are seeking to kick the nicotine habit, the therapist may say “If you are asked to a cigarette, you will say “I’m a non-smoker” or ” You are going for a walk when you feel the need to smoke. You are no longer craving nicotine.”

The basic premise is to place these new, powerful thoughts in your subconscious mind so you will be able to believe them and change your reality. After the session is completed, the therapist will “wake” you up and you should feel alert and refreshed.

Every one can benefit from hypnosis

Some people believe they cannot be hypnotized. Anyone can be hypnotized, if they want to. Every human experience self-hypnotized on a daily basis at some level. If you have ever daydreamt, then you have hypnotized yourself.Though you may not seek the guidance of a hypnotist, you do have the ability to bring yourself into a trance-like relaxed state, which can help you relieve the grind of daily stress.

If you have particularly pressing health issues, talk to a naturopath or another alternative medicine professional to see if hypnosis is right for your situation; they can direct you to a qualified hypnotherapist. Hypnosis, whether it be self-induced or professionally guided, can be a beneficial addition to your overall healthcare.

Pros of Hypnosis

Hypnosis offers the potential to help treat your medical conditions without the need for invasive therapies or additional medications. Hypnosis a safe treatment option, with minimal side effects.

While it may not work for everyone, hypnosis is what’s known as a complementary therapy. A person can use hypnosis in addition to other treatments for depression to enhance an overall sense of well-being, lift mood, and boost feelings of hopefulness. Hypnotherapists use it to treat a number of conditions, including:

  • anxiety,
  • chronic pain
  • concentration problems
  • irritable bowel syndrome
  • smoking control
  • teeth grinding
  • addictions to shopping, sugar, gambling, sex, nail biting, etc
  • forgiving and opening self up to love
  • self confidence
  • reduce fear to public speaking

A person with depression experiences a wide variety of emotions. Hypnosis can help a person learn to reduce and/or better control feelings of anxiety, stress, and sadness. Hypnosis can also be used to treat negative behaviors that could be worsening a person’s depression. These behaviors may include smoking and poor eating and sleeping habits.

Cons of Hypnosis – What the experts say

Hypnosis is relatively safe.  Some other potential side effects are headache or feeling light headed. However, these usually fade shortly after the hypnosis session.

People considering hypnotherapy should first consult their doctor or psychiatrist.  People suffering from delusions, hallucinations, or other psychotic symptoms might not be the best candidates for hypnotherapy.

Before you attempt hypnosis, you will talk to the therapist first.  Be open and honest with them.  It may be possible that hypnosis is not an effective treatment method. The therapy requires a person to focus and enter a trance state of hypnosis. For some people, this is very difficult.

Hypnosis appears to work best when used with other forms of treatment. It may help reduce a patient’s resistance to other more traditional treatments.

It’s important to remember that depression, along with severe and chronic mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, also affect a person’s physical health. Depression is more than just feeling sad or having negative thoughts. It’s a condition where the chemicals in your brain are imbalanced. Hypnosis is a complementary therapy, and it shouldn’t be the only therapy a person uses to enhance their mental health.

Anyone considering hypnosis and under a trained mental health professional, discuss it first.
