I found that meditating with color and sound on each of my chakra centers was helpful in making me feel more harmonious.

Sometimes I meditate and chant the sound “Om” with each chakra color. It was difficult at first to combine the two, but with practice it not only became easier but actually felt natural.

Om is said to be the original audible word best duplicating the vibration of God. It is a “power” word and has been used for centuries to instill harmony in healing. Actually, Om is an easy, soothing sound to hum, coming from deep in the throat and chest. When I chant it over and over it puts me in touch with the center of my being. I found that the longer I chanted Om, the deeper the state of my consciousness became.

However, since I didn’t want to become a monk, I stopped chanting Om for deep meditative purposes. I use it now for color and sound alignment of the chakras. I let the sound reverberate in the center of myself until I feel it touch the place where I feel my soul connect with the universe. The energy I feel is soothing and therapeutic.

I first learned how effective sound could be internally when I began singing lessons. I couldn’t understand why I felt so much more centered after a lesson. And it really didn’t matter what my voice sounded like—it was the effect of the vibration on my solar plexus, heart, and so on. I remembered how diathermy, which is the therapy of sound waves, was a favorite with dancers and athletes whenever an injury was sustained.

Since I am so sensitive to sound, I travel with a white-sound machine that duplicates the gentle sound of ocean waves. (Actually it has rain, waterfall, Surf I, and Surf III) Whenever I am in cities, particularly to sleep through traffic noise, I use the white-sound waves (Surf II) to drown out the sound pollution from below.

I think we are all sensitive to sounds in ways that are not measurable. Harsh sounds can affect our minds and bodies and spirits in very deleterious ways. Conversely, beautiful music and the peaceful, rhythmic sounds of nature nourish us. We are like receiver sets attuned to incoming and outgoing electromagnetic vibrations. We have highly attuned nervous systems, which, when violated, can make us sick and anxious.

The Schumann resonance is an equation which concludes that the human system vibrates at a basic rate of about 7.8 to 8 cycles per second, which is inaudible when it is relaxed. The frequency of brain waves produced in meditation is also in the 8-cycles-per-second range.

Physicists claim that the Earth itself vibrates at 8 cycles per second. The nervous systems of all life forms are attuned to this basic frequency. Thus, there is an invisible harmonic resonance between the Earth, as a living vibrating entity, and the human being when in a relaxed state. When
