Hear your Healing: Part 2

By: Amber Colbear



Last issue, we discussed the principles behind Vibrational Sound Medicine and its’ intricate relationship to the body’s in-built system of resonance frequency. By introducing a variety of pure tonal sounds we can in essence “tune” the body back into its natural state of being, just as we would tune a guitar by playing it alongside the harmonic scale. 

Each of the seven main energy centres within the body, (known as chakras in the east, and over here in the wild west, modern science call them nerve bundles) has a specific frequency resonance that each vibrates to when they are in a balanced state. Interestingly, each chakra or nerve bundle resonates to the same frequency in correspondence with the notes of the Harmonic Scale.

 Literally, you could say we all are Music; beating to the tune of our own drum. Take a look at this chart and see how the anatomy of the body meets each chakra and the musical note associated with it. 

If the body is in a state of imbalance a variety of issues may surface. One could even say we are manifesting these blockages with our thoughts, but we can certainly use music to re-tune ourselves. It is a simple as listening to our body talk. 


How do you feel when you listen to different genres of music? 

Why is it that fast tempo progressive metal rock, and its’ subgenres like “Screamo” have such an ill-sided effect on our temperament? 

Not to generalize, but at concerts where this type of music is forefront, crowds tend to form mosh pits, creating what is also called controlled violence circle pits, usually found at the foot of the stage. 


Participants in mosh pits, claim to utilize this particularly violent outlet to show their “love” or appreciation of the music. Meanwhile, if we were to be graced with another Bob Marley or John Lennon concert, their audiences were always found in a peaceful state, often communing with other concert goers over their mutual love for the artists’ performing.

If you find that you feel off, take time to listen to how your body responds to the music you most often choose to listen to. Remember that pure tonal sounds that resonate with the harmonic scale are healing to the body and stimulate the energy centers listed in the charts, resetting them into their natural state, ultimately putting you at ease. An easy way to pinpoint music that balances the body’s energy centers is to look at the lyrics. Not to play up the puns, but most often, the lyrics will denote and echo the energetic impact of the tonal frequencies contained within any piece of music. 

Therefore, you can quite literally re-tune your body with some of your favourite songs. Go through your music library, check out the keys in which your favourite music was composed, pay close attention to the lyrics and build yourself a dandy lil’ playlist of ditties that will have your body rocking to the tune of perfect pitch in body, mind and spirit! It’s that easy! For more on vibrational sound medicine, visit
