Before you begin

According to some ancient indian traditions there is a life force called prana that flows through energy channels called nadi situated in a subtle body overlaying the physical body. The meeting points of these channels are called chakras.
Although it is believed that there are many of these energy points, seven chakras are considered to be the most important ones and thus called the basic chakras.
Each chakra can be stimulated with a particular frequency.
That means you can use special sounds to balance the energy of your own chakras.
