about

Lately I have been starting my days by writing down my intentions. I then read them aloud a few times, trying to both fully embrace and be embodied by the words. After this ritual, I begin my chanting.


The practice started as a way to get to know my body better, especially regarding how it reacts to sound. Each of our bodies are unique resonators and respond differently to different frequencies. For me, the pitch of Ab, tuned to 103.8 cycles per second, is a comfortable foundation to build my exercises.

However, I first sing the sub-foundation of Eb, which is a fourth below Ab. I drone on this pitch, focusing on the physical location of the 1st chakra (the root chakra) in my body while imagining red emanating from the region. Eventually, I shift my attention from the 1st to the 2nd chakra (the sacral chakra), again visualizing the physical location as well as now imagining orange emanating.

When I begin to visualize the 3rd chakra (the solar plexus chakra) I visualize the new physical location, I imagine green emanating, and I begin to sing the foundation or tonic pitch of Ab.

This continues to the 4th chakra (the heart chakra) where green emanates, and the singing goes up a fifth to Eb. This Eb is an octave above the 1st and 2nd chakras' pitch.

I then continue to the 5th chakra (the throat chakra) where blue emanates, and the singing goes up a fourth to Ab, which is the octave of our tonic pitch.

Eventually this leads to the 6th chakra (the third eye chakra) where indigo emanates. The singing goes up another fifth to Eb, which is two octaves above the 1st and 2nd chakras and one octave above the 4th chakra.

Finally, the 7th chakra (the crown chakra) is reached. Purple emanates and the singing rises a fourth to Ab. This note is two octave above the 3rd chakra and one octave above the 5th chakra.


I believe sound and frequency manipulation has many, many untapped uses in this world. And by doing these exercises, I'm hoping to unleash this potential for a type of healing. I sing these pitches and visualize these locations and colors with the intention of "opening up" and releasing any blockages of energy that may have collected and stagnated in the region.

The last tidbit about this composition is that it is written for the February 2022 Full Moon which occurs in the constellation of Leo. Leo is generally regarded as manifesting in the 7th, or crown, chakra.
