    This paper explores the relationship of sound, color and the chakras. I wanted to do some deeper investigation on the relationship between sound, color, and the chakras.  One of the most evident relationships is that there are 7 colors in the rainbow, 7 notes in the major scale and 7 chakras. For the most part there is a general agreement on the colors of the chakras. The root chakra is red and as we move up, the colors change according to the color spectrum leaving us with a violet crown chakra. Since the color red has the lowest frequency of the colors in the visible spectrum, it makes sense that red corresponds to the root chakra.

Yantras are the maps of consciousness, geometric forms that were visualized by yogis in deep states of meditation when they tried to experience and understand the subtle vibrations within their own bodies and the cosmos. When you look at a yantra, it makes a huge impression on the energy patterns of your mind.  These inner energy patterns begin to respond to concentration and awareness when you meditate on a yantra, as those images create powerful psychological impressions. Concentration on yantras develops intuitive as well as creative ability.

This paper explores the transformational power of chanting on the heart and mind. Our mind is a creature of habit and the thought cycles can be hard to adjust after they have been there for so long. However, the upside to this is that once we do change the “program” to be a healthy one, than it is more likely to stay in place as well. Chanting and using mantras to focus one’s attention can help quiet the mind. The sacred world among us - There is a sacred world around us. First I thought that the name for this written work should be the secret world around us, but actually is not secret. It has always been there, in front of us all the time, interacting with us, making our lives possible, balancing the energies of nature, life and dead. It’s all about to open our eyes, the eyes of the heart and this world will become accessible to us. The vibrations of life, the energy and spirit within everything and all. This world is called by many the “world of the elementals” or “The faery worl...

As sound becomes the new modality, I’ve begun to review the Tibetan bowls as a new venue. With the history of the bowls as stated “the sound of the void”, Bodhisattva Gwalawa Kamapa, the Tibetan bowls manifest the sound of the universe manifesting. The sound acts upon the physical while the sound is healing to the cellular level.

The Didgeridoo is the worlds oldest wind instrument, which was developed by the indigenous Australian people, who are known as the Aboriginals. This instrument is
created naturally by termites, which hollow out the center of Eucalyptus tree trunks or
branches. The tribesʼ people find a piece that is well suited to craft into a didgeridoo,
and then burn out the inside and put beeswax on the end to make the instrument playable. The Aboriginals have been playing this instrument for thousands of years, and use it in the ceremonies and rituals, which are full of dancing and singing.

For forty thousand years people across the world found ways to consciously vibrate a column of air within tubular shaped natural materials, the earliest known example so far being of animal bone. Though we know little about the sounds these Neolithic instruments made, we recognize their forms as flutes. Many indigenous cultures today still connect to their ancestral traditions with music from flutes made of wood, clay, shells and bamboo. In Hawaii it is the sweet sound of the ‘ohe hano ihu (bamboo nose flute) that has survived from ancient times. Its history shines a light on the deep spirituality of the Hawaiian people and culture.

A paper illustrating brain entrainment through method acting. Schopenhauer said perfectly about the degree of creators gifts: Talent hits a target, in which no one can get; Genius hits the target, which no one sees. And: if it is true that a genius - a man who knows that no one knows what makes him such an opportunity developed super-consciousness.

Short Description
Handheld frame drums are among the oldest known musical instruments, dating back to prehistoric times. Drums have throughout the ages been used for ritual, prophecy and celebration. And, through the process of rhythmic entrainment, drums have the power to heal both individual and collective bodies. The key to the use of the drum as an instrument of healing is through repetition - monotony does not represent a lack of skill or imagination, but serves a therapeutic purpose, much as mantra, breath and chant repetition are used in Eastern traditions.   This paper describes the method and effect of rhythmic drumming.
