How to use sound to balance the chakras

There are many reasons to enjoy the soothing sounds of crystal bowls. If you've ever attended a sound bath, you have likely experienced the profound relaxation associated with this unique vibrational healing modality.

In addition to its calming, relaxing effect, singing bowls also possess the ability to realign or heal the chakras, or energy centers of the body. This is because each of these energy centers has a “unique vibrational frequency.” These frequencies can interact with the vibration frequencies that are created when playing a singing bowl.


Like any musical instrument, crystal "singing" bowls rely on friction and vibration, like striking or rimming the bowl with a mallet, to create sound. The sound waves created when one plays a singing bowl interact with the unbalanced chakras causing them to self-correct.

Chakra balancing with singing bowls restores a “harmonious flow of energy” to the chakra system in a natural and calming way.

Yoga Wake Up recently collaborated with sound work practitioner Nicole Motter to release a 7-part chakra balancing sound bath series. Each 10-minute audio session, which can be played as a wakeup or anytime features a unique audio-guided meditation and crystal sound to balance and realign each corresponding chakra.
