How do chakras relate to sound healing?

- Heart Chakra: a little above your heart
- Throat Chakra: your upper chest or back of your neck

Root Chakra
When it comes to the physical body, your root chakra relates to the hips, knees, legs, and feet.
On the other hand, emotionally speaking, it’s associated with feeling safe and grounded.

To activate this chakra, you can chant “Lam” or “Nam Lam” for between three and eleven minutes while playing one of the instruments mentioned or listening to a recording.
Sacral Chakra
Physically speaking, your sacral chakra affects the reproductive system. Spiritually and emotionally, it’s about sensuality, creativity, and “being in the flow.”
Like the root chakra, you can use gongs, drums, lower-toned Tibetan, and crystal bowls to activate this chakra. By the way, the sacral chakra frequency to use is 480 Hz.
As for the mantras, you can repeatedly chant “Vam” or “Mam Vam.”

Throat Chakra
Communication, self-expression, and speaking your truth falls on the realm of your throat chakra.
