Working with A Sound Bath Master and the information he shared has me feeling,thinking and moving in higher Frequencies. I understand.
Stimulating the various chakras can sometimes help remove blocks and allow the energy to flow more freely, and that is why in the ancient Vedic tradition they used the sounds of different instruments to stimulate different chakras. So what is this connection between various instruments and the various chakras?
Instruments and Chakras
Drums are connected to the Muladhara chakra, and big pipes or trumpets (wind instruments) affect the second chakra. The third chakra is stimulated by string instruments played through friction like the violin and the heart chakra resonates with plucked string instruments like guitar and piano. The sound of flute stimulates the throat chakra and small bells are connected to the Ajña chakra between the eyebrows. The sound of the blowing of the Shankha or conch finally stimulates the Sahasrara or crown chakra.
This phenomenon was already known to the sages in the ancient Vedic times and is also revealed in the scriptures dealing with the architecture of temples. Large temples used to have seven big gateways that lead one to the main deity. Each consecutive gate having different instruments to stimulate the 7 chakras and direct the energy upwards to the top of the head where bliss is experienced. The outermost gate would have large drums, the next large trumpets, and so on.
