Sound healing can manifest in many different forms - using music for a healing meditation, chanting and toning, using singing bowls, using a rattle, gong or bell for aura cleansing, or listening to nature sounds.

There is a specific mantra to be chanted and a specific musical note for each of the main chakras. Toning the correct mantra at the correct pitch can form the basis of chakra healing (see chakra list below).

Use of a singing bowl will permeate your whole aura and energy field, or you can buy a collection, one for each chakra! You can buy crystal and Tibetan copper singing bowls tuned to a particular pitch. Here's a link to further information on this:
How To Use Singing Bowls: Singing Bowls For Healing
Rattles, gongs or bells can be used around your aura to cleanse it.

If you are looking for suitable CDs to use for healing meditations, try nature sounds, spiritual or New Age music, or classical music (tip: look for a piece in the correct key corresponding to the musical note of the chakra you want to heal.)

As for colour healing, to some extent you probably already use it! You probably choose to wear certain colours when you're in a certain type of mood, for example, or are drawn to buy yourself flowers of a specific colour, or to hold or carry a crystal of a specific colour. See my TTT on colour healing with crystals for further info:

You could also use a light box for colour healing. The best types to buy are the type that go through the full spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, as this will address all your chakras. You can start a meditation by focusing on the light box, or have it on close by you at night to assimilate the colour healing. This is a particularly good treatment for SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorder). To source a lightbox, google it to buy online or try Ebay.

Another method of colour healing is to use colour candles. I will be specialising in making rainbow chakra candles for my shop. Again, you can start a meditation by focusing on the colour candle. If you are working with the colour for healing, try carving the word "heal" into the candle before use. If you are working with it for something else associated with the colour (see chart below) try carving that word into it. Source candles at car boot and yard sales - there are great bargains to be had!

This chakra chart will show you the corresponding musical note, mantra, colour and life energies associated with that chakra/colour. If you need background info on the seven main chakras, try this post first:

Ive been looking for a good music c.d for years now

Carrie, this is a good one specifically for chakras:
A 7 Chakra Balancing Meditation and Hypnotherapy CD.
We used it a lot in year 2 of my crystal healing course.

This one is excellent too, not chakra-specific but certainly raises your vibrations:

I have this one at home.

I'm really interested in learning more about singing bowls. i just feel very drawn to them somehow.

This is a fantastic resource, thank you so much honey!
