HOW CAN SOUND HELP HEAL EACH CHAKRA?
Sound healing works by using vibration, frequency, and resonance to bring the body and energy system back into balance.
Each chakra responds to specific tones and harmonics — when these frequencies reach the body, they help clear stagnation, restore flow, and calm the nervous system.
Below is a simple guide on how each chakra is supported through sound.
