The dis-harmony of the body can get restructured by sound in the body. The calming sounds from singing bowls can induce a sense of peacefulness and relaxation. 

Furthermore, the tones of each bowl will enter your system and transform all the negative emotions into harmony. Sound is a potent form of energy. This form of traditional music therapy reduces stress, pain, deep relaxation, and develops self-awareness and creativity.

How to Balance Chakras?

After recognizing and tuning up the Chakras in the body, you can then move on to the balancing of the Chakras. However, one must note that everyone has a different way with the Chakras. Hence, one method that works best with one person may not work for another. 

It is essential to find out which method works best for you. Some of the methods include visualizing a light entering a Chakra, or massaging the area with their hands. A soothing atmosphere will help you immensely during the healing and balancing process.

You should start by striking the rim three times and then move the striker around the rim of the bowl. You can visualize filling the energy center of the color of the Chakra while listening to the singing bowl. You must have positive feelings of warmth and healing in the process. The tone of the bowls can feel or see the vibrations from the bowl and you can use your voice to balance the Chakra. 

Moreover, you can sound the bowl and then move the bowl over the area in a clockwise direction. If you are doing an overall tune-up then the best way to start is with the root Chakra and then move your way up the crown Chakra and back down. On the other hand, if you are working with a single Chakra, you can do a separate Chakras balancing to ensure that they are in sync with each other. 

Furthermore, you can direct energy into the Chakras by using singing bowls or moving your hands in a clockwise pattern. Stones or crystals associated with each Chakra, or colored candles help immensely in assisting, balancing and tuning the Chakras.
