What is sound meditation? This phrase is very prominent these days, and most of us are simply curious on how sound meditation can help us achieve focus, and re-engage our “true self”. If I were to point to a single phrase that encompasses the importance of sound in relation to the human psyche and personal well-being - it would be this;

“If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration” -Nikola Tesla

We as humans are walking energy, vibrating at multiple frequencies. If we're to break this idea down into the esoteric realm of Chakra meditation. It is important to note the seven major Chakras and the Universal OM have their own individual frequencies/notes. The Chakras are an intricate energy system that communicates with our body's glandular functions.

The importance of developing the Pranic Energy Body connection with Chakra balancing involves initiating the subtle energy body via yoga and meditation. This can be accomplished with sound meditation to help focus on working with the specific Chakras and developing our subtle energy bodies' ability to “oscillate” with an external sound catalyst. This workshop is designed to be accessible by all levels of yogic, and meditative pursuits and will cover these subjects.
