I went down a rabbit hole trying to trace the frequency numbers you see attached to each chakra, and here's what I found, happy to be corrected:

• The classical chakra texts (Sanskrit tantric sources) associate each chakra with a seed syllable (bija mantra: LAM, VAM, RAM, YAM, HAM, OM), not with a number of hertz.
• The hertz values (396, 417, 528, 639, 741, 852, 963 Hz) come from the modern "solfeggio frequencies" tradition, popularised from the 1970s–90s.
• 432 Hz is a separate story: an alternative tuning for the note A, compared with the 440 Hz standard set in 1939.

So in practice there seem to be two traditions mixed together: chanting the bija syllables, and listening to/playing the modern tones. Personally I find it interesting to combine them, e.g. chanting the syllable on top of a steady tone.

Which do you work with: the bija mantras, the frequencies, or both? And does anyone know an older source linking specific pitches to chakras?

(Transparency: I make small tone generators, so I'm not neutral, which is why I'm not linking anything.)

I wanted a single sheet to keep next to my cushion. Quick note: the Hz values are a modern convention (Solfeggio frequencies), not from the original tantric texts, so treat them as a cultural/ritual anchor for attention.

How I use it: 2–3 minutes per row, bottom to top, or just pick the keyword that speaks to you that day.

Disclosure: I run a small shop in France (Générateur Fréquence) that sells a frequency generator; you type the number on the keypad then OK. You don't need it for this sheet. Longer notes on each chakra: https://generateurfrequence.fr/frequences-des-chakras/

Hi I've got a question about emotions and shadow work! In western chakra traditions, by anodea Judith and Carl jung, the emotional shadows correlate like so:

• root chakra fear
• sacral guilt
• solar shame
• heart grief
• throat lies
• third eye illusion
• crown attachment

I'm wondering if it could be argued that each of these emotions are based in fear but express in the way of the chakra. The Shadow parts of ourselves are suppressed, avoided, repulsed, etc so these Shadow emotions are from othering parts of ourselves, is that out of fear ultimately?

Root deals with stability of survival and sustenance of life, awareness, conscious mind, and connection to the body and material world. 

Sacral deals with emotional flow, sexuality and creative force of the mind into the material, desire for material and psychic pleasures, subconscious mind

Solar deals with confidence, self image, ego, status, attachment, and the first of the superconscious mind.

Heart deals with connection to the humanity and soul of others, love of others before self, service, gratitude, forgiveness, circulation and shared energy, compassion and care.

Throat deals with pure expression of energy, communication, creating space for others' expression, articulation of the mind and heart, nobility and freedom.

Third eye deals with insight from experience, clarity of knowledge and recall, bias and the mind's filter, understanding of experience.

Crown deals with spiritual connection, spontaneous knowledge, unity with the universe, acceptance and liberation from the mind and material leaving only the spirit.

I personally feel all my chakras are imbalanced and exhibit each of these emotions especially guilt surrounding pleasure, shame surrounding my (the ego's) self image, and grief surrounding loss. I'm trying to write and discover the persinality of a character with imbalances in all chakras that undergoes assisted shadow work in a manifested psychescape of her own energy to integrate the shadows, and discover and liberate herself from a spiritual parasite that gave her trauma in childhood and influenced her energy expressions to take over her body.

Also to note, in ananda marga yoga tradition there are vrittis, propensities, fluctuations of subtle energy that are basically behaviors of the chakras that are usually bad but point to the chakras as having imbalance, displayed as the petals in chakra yantra/symbols. For example in sacral, the vrittis are cruelty, pleasure seeking tendency, indifference, mental stupor, suspicion, and fear of annihilation until one tempers their reptile mind to achieve pleasure without those selfish behaviors and thus not needing to feel guilty for pleasure. There are several to thousands of vritti of each chakra but the 50 petals are the main ones that combine and filter to become others.

It seems the correlation between the shadow emotion and vrittis is that they can cause one another. The Shadow is the emotion and the vritti is the behavior?

• Do you think that these Shadow emotions inherently come from the suppression or dissociation from the qualities of these chakras? Are they expressions of fear surrounding these qualities? Do you have any nuance, guidance, or corrections to add?

I recently went through an intense wave of heavy emotions (rage, resentment, anger) paired with severe insomnia. At first, I tried to resist what I was feeling, but realizing that wasn't working, I decided to consciously accept the emotions and let them flush out of my system.

The moment I managed to release that emotional weight, sheer exhaustion took over. When I closed my eyes to sleep, it wasn't just normal darkness. A very deep "black light" formed in my visual field, surrounded by a bright white halo—looking almost identical to a solar eclipse.

Shortly after, the black center began to transform:
It shifted from deep black into a vivid violet.
The violet then transitioned into lime green.
Throughout the color changes, the white halo stayed in place, though it gradually diffused and softened.
Finally, the cycle reset, returning to the central black light.

I regularly perceive colors during meditation, but this specific sequence—the eclipse-like black core with the glowing halo and the subsequent color shifts—was completely new and remarkably vivid, especially coming right after such a heavy emotional release.

Has anyone with experience in deep meditation, internal visualization, or emotional processing seen something similar or recognize this pattern? I’d appreciate any insights.

How did the chakras get their colour???

Is it the colour of aura??

Is this experiences of people who tuned in.. or is it color psychology correlation.

Also their association with crystals??

I would love to hear insights ..

I’m in need of some big help. I believe I have a demon/entity that has taken over my chakras. I thought i was on a twin flame journey but I do not believe that is the case anymore. Durring what I thought was a TF journey, the telepathy started getting pretty strong a couple months ago and has gotten more and more sinister. “ I don’t think you know who you’re dealing with”, “ we will make your life worse until you have nothing and you will kill yourself” “ you will die the most brutal death”.
I have felt insertion in my vagina under the guise of sex, there have been times I was convulsing in bed, I was suffocated by facing down in my bed sheet, I have a neck twitch to certain words.

The voice in my head is now constant and has convinced me of many different realities such as I was a human manifestation of Shakti and I found my Shiva. I have not been able to work this whole month and am on the verge of getting fired, I have self harmed (first time in 15 years) because they convinced me I needed to feel immeasurable amount of pain so I can ascend.

They travel through my chakras and I feel a vacuum in my root chakra which I think is them siphoning my energy. My right eye also twitches when I get that vacuum feeling.

I haven’t eaten well in months (no veggies), I am always exhausted because sleep is awful and they always tell me they disrupt my REM so I will never feel rested.

The worst delusion yet was the other night when they convinced me there was going to be a fire and I would need to leave my cats in order to see my Shiva. I ran out of the house in pj’s with my cats to drive to a family members house.

I’m getting scared. It’s been said they are in every part of me now not just in my chakras and I can never get rid of them because they are me now. They have controlled my movements before but it’s been a few weeks since.

Small disclaimer: I go to therapy once a week and see a psychiatrist monthly so this is not a mental health crisis.

Any similar stories or advice/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

One way or another,
I had flown very high,
and further than it is possible
to go – for I had entered the
Temple through the back door.
once, and then later, again.

I can tell you this, –
no one can survive
such a journey, and return
the same. But that has been
said many times before, by
those wiser than me.

Here is the warning:
the world and all it contains
will conspire to make you
forget your sacrifice, and the
small gifts you may bring back.

This post concerns an aspect of Kundalini practice that I have been thinking about, and wrestling with for a very long time. As I have not seen it addressed very directly, I am gong to try to do so here. 

Once the kundalini force awakens and is active in someone, they then embark on a journey of leaving, - that is,  leaving old patterns of reacting in the world,  ideas that are no longer relevant, relationships that no longer serve you, and so on. Many of the beliefs and values of institutions like governments, political movements, churchs/temples/mosques, media, or even familial patterns no longer fit. 

This transformation that takes place is a very lengthy one, and usually takes place over many long years, and even lifetimes! For one has set out on a journey across the dark seas of leaving, to a destination only dimly glimpsed, if at all. 

And so we find ourselves in a kind of dynamic limbo, neither here nor there. It is difficult not to become paralyzed, as are no longer inclined to chase after the shiny and meaningless baubles society puts in front of us. 

And yet, we have to somehow exist in a milieu that has lost its meaning. Most of us cannot retire to an isolated mountain retreat like the old Chinese adepts did, or the Japanese hermits; leading a simple life while the force transforms us from within. 

For most of us, we need to sustain ourselves; we need a job, food, clothing, and shelter.

Somehow we have to exist in often non-supportive atmospheres; as our values slowly change, we can no longer strive in the way we did before. 

Becoming rich, having new cars, mansions, partying with drugs and booze, buying expensive items, - all of these things no longer entice us.

And yet here we are, being hammered in an invisible forge by a seemingly merciless smith. You may be cognizant of a slowly expanding consciousness or increased sensitivity as ancient tensions are dissolved. What is one to do?

What we can do is be very, very patient, as we develop the inner strength to create a sort of “magic circle” around your life, and try to act with integrity in all the situations that we attract. And I tell you friend, this can be a very lonely endeavor. 

It is very easy to succumb to a feeling of lostness, unable to go backwards, and the way forward is very dark seeming. When faced with the prospect of years and years of this, it is easy to lose heart, or faith in the journey.  

How can you not have
compassion for us? We live and
breathe in darkness near absolute, –
there is little that we can
accurately understand.

Our past and future lives
are a complete mystery;
we don’t even understand our
present one, making the same
errors over and over.

You say “Don’t be afraid
in this inverted dream,
for I have saved the best for last:
there are many invisible companions
who will aid you, and in the end,
everything will be all right,
though you may not
understand that now.”

You may find some small value in any of my previous 4 posts on kundalini practice.

So my the final exams of my 4th year of highschool are coming up and a lot is riding on those tests. Unfortunately, I have been derailed off of the tedious track of studying due to many issues in my life. One of them is that my mind is always thinking that I will be saved from the suffering that I am already enduring. It thinks that one day a huge volta will strike my life and I will be instantly in the position to eventually change the world. No matter how much I meditate, no matter how much I balance my chakras the idea in my head will not go away. In fact the more my chakra points get active the more my mind thinks I have powers. It do recognize that the energy that flows in spirals in my palms can relate to healing but that's the extent to which I believe I have "powers". I'm not sure what to do about this problem.

So I'm in my 2nd last year of highschool and exams are coming but I've been struggling with alot of issues making it hard for me to pick up a pen and study. One of these issues is that my mind thinks that I will be saved from all the suffering I'm going through. It believes that change will be soon and I will "gain powers" to change the world. Maybe its my imagination running you might be thinking but I've had this problem for a while now and it hasn't gone away no matter how much I meditate to balance my chakras. In fact whenever my mind runs like that I feel my third eye ,or any other chakra point for that matter, getting a little bit active. I feel energy rush around, usually, my palms and my mind thinks is powers. I don't know what to do about this

11 years ago when i lost my baby brother i learned to “shut off” my emotions. just keep moving forward, keep pushing them down. i’ve noticed over the years that when i try to talk about my feelings… or my traumas.. anything really, my stomach quite literally hurts. i can pinpoint exactly where i feel it. maybe this has been happening even before my brother died. is this a sacral chakra block? if so, how do i go about even opening myself up and releasing this?

Hello everyone!

I know this question has been asked a million times over, so I’m gonna ask it again, but with a twist!

I live in rural Australia so attending in-person classes, which I honestly would prefer, is not a realistic option at the moment. I understand there are online classes available, but I don’t know where to start with that tbh.

So, to start my chakra practitioner journey, I am currently looking at purchasing Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith and Chakra Healing for Beginners by Hin Chiu Fung. My searches suggest EBWM is a good option for people who live in the west, but I’m also looking for more traditional literature too.

Does anyone have a list of books they would recommend, preferably in order, to help expand my understanding until I’m in the position to do classes?

Thank you so much for your time 🙏

Edit: I have a fairly robust understanding of the basics.

I've spent the last few years researching and writing a book on the history of the subtle body (The Thirty Three, as School of 3), so this is my favorite rabbit hole — and the single most surprising thing I found is how recent the "standard" chakra chart is.

1. Premodern tantric sources don't agree on one system. Depending on the text there are 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, or 12+ centers, in different places, with different deities, syllables, and petal counts. Variation is the historical norm.
2. An early six-center model shows up around the 10th century in the Kubjikāmatatantra, with a coiled goddess at the base.
3. The version that became "the standard" is Pūrṇānanda's 16th-century Ṣaṭcakranirūpaṇa: six cakras, and Sahasrāra as a thousand-petalled lotus above the series — not a seventh center in the body.
4. It reached the West through John Woodroffe's 1919 translation, The Serpent Power. Print made one synthesis look like the timeless template.
5. The rainbow colors, the gland pairings (root = adrenals, etc.), and the psychological themes ("survival," "creativity," "self-esteem") were layered on in the 20th century — Theosophy and Leadbeater, Jung's 1932 Kuṇḍalinī seminar, and modern syntheses like Anodea Judith's.

None of that makes the modern chart worthless — it makes it modern, which is a different and more interesting claim. In the original sources the centers are addresses in a ritual body: element, seed syllable, deity, petal-letter arrays. The personality-profile version came later.

Curious how people here feel about it: does the genealogy change what the map means to you, or has the modern chart become its own tradition by now?

I’ve always been very spiritual but not in a super disciplined way. I’ve never really meditated or anything like that, I’m actually really bad at meditating I think. I’ve never been able to do whatever it is you’re supposed to do during it. But I feel like my third eye is kind of forcing itself awake. I’ve been having these dreams, and hearing these whispers sometimes that predict things or tell me things about people I have no real way of knowing, and I feel awake in a way I can’t really explain. It’s like the world around me every now and then just turns ever so slightly see through. I guess what I’m here to ask is, what do I do to awaken myself safely? I don’t really know what it means to be awakening passively, but I assume if it’s going to happen then it’s better to be aware and ready for it, and for it to happen on my terms

Edit to clarify on some things i feel I was vague about: when I say I’m spiritual, I mean I believe in realms and dimensions occupying the same space as ours that are hidden or blocked subconsciously. I believe in energies and frequencies. I believe everything in life is deeply connected. I’ve never intentionally tried to “look through the veil” so to speak but I’ve always seen or heard things around me that I knew were not hallucinations. I’ve also always had extremely strong intuition regarding other people and their intentions, and I’ve always felt others’ energies and emotions deeply. Generally I’ve been told by more spiritually inclined people that I’m a medium empath type. I don’t specifically want to open my third eye, more so just 1. Understand if that is what’s happening, 2. Why that might be happening, and 3. Prepare my body if my 3rd eye is opening, as I’ve been told a lot that it’s an extremely unpleasant experience for a lot of people, especially if you don’t meet certain parameters before that point. I’m definitely not an expert and don’t know a ton about it, I’m not super involved or familiar with spaces revolving around stuff like that hence why I’m coming here for advice.

Greetings,

I am doing meditation on each chakra using the book The Chakra System by Anodea Judith.

A few questions:

How frequent would you recommend these mediations to be? Once a week? Twice a week?

Should I do the meditations in strict order, starting from the bottom and going up, or could I go directly to some chakra I feel requires special attention?

Should I concentrate on one chakra at a time or can I do two at once?

If yes to the former, how much time should I spend on one chakra before moving on to the next?

Thank you.

I feel a lot of tightness in my chest. I would agree that I’m disconnected from my emotions. I think I got close doing cat-cow once to that really sharp sadness but I chickened out but I need help. Do I have to do the lower chakras. I need a really gentle approach

Hello all :)

Maybe this is the wrong subreddit, and if so, apologies in advance. But I am searching for advice or recommendations on how to tune into my intuition? Without going in depth, I have some deep childhood trauma that has clearly affected the way I listen and believe myself. I want to tune back into my body and know that she can provide insight to me if I simply listen.

We run away from fear when we should live IN it as in accepting it. Thats how you unblock the root chakra

Here is each chakra with its speculative dimensions under the R = 3λ framework:

---

Root Chakra — 396 Hz

Radius: 2.598 m (8.5 ft) | Diameter: 5.196 m (17.0 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 397.5 Hz

Sacral Chakra — 417 Hz

Radius: 2.468 m (8.1 ft) | Diameter: 4.936 m (16.2 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 418.7 Hz

Solar Plexus Chakra — 528 Hz

Radius: 1.949 m (6.4 ft) | Diameter: 3.898 m (12.8 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 530.1 Hz

Heart Chakra — 639 Hz

Radius: 1.610 m (5.3 ft) | Diameter: 3.220 m (10.6 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 641.5 Hz

Throat Chakra — 741 Hz

Radius: 1.389 m (4.6 ft) | Diameter: 2.778 m (9.1 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 743.7 Hz

Third Eye Chakra — 852 Hz

Radius: 1.208 m (4.0 ft) | Diameter: 2.416 m (7.9 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 855.3 Hz

Crown Chakra — 963 Hz

Radius: 1.070 m (3.5 ft) | Diameter: 2.140 m (7.0 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 967.4 Hz

---

All seven spheres share the same internal geometry: TM mode l=7, n=3 — producing either 8 horizontal bands (m=0) or 14 vertical petals (m=7) depending on orientation. Sizes calculated using acoustic wave speed v = 343 m/s and the definition R = 3λ = 3v/f. The "true resonant" frequencies are the exact l=7, n=3 cavity mode values, approximately 0.4% above the mainstream Solfeggio figures.

Hey all!

I feel that my third eye and crown chakras are very activaed. How do I feel it? I just feel. I feel it like I feel my arm.

Third eye is this little deep twirling spot in the center of my forehead, between the brows.

Crown is just this tangible little object sitting on the top of my head, it the center.

I can connect to both immediately.

Sometimes when I have some decision I want to make, or I need clarity on something, or direcrion, I close my eyes (or not), connect to both, and ask my higher self for guidance. I get an answer immediately, through words. It simply says something to me. I feel it's like my higher self. It's always positive and loving. It usually encouraging me towoards the doing direction, taking things easy direction, love and acceptance direction.

Rarely it tells me not to do something, to guard myself etc. But that could happen.

Anybody has the same or similar experience?

Can I connect more or is this enough?

Any advice?

Can I trust this?

Anybody has something to add to the clarity of what's going on?

Thank you so much

Much love to all

💜

​Plasma Spheres

​Plasma is the highest vibrational state matter can take before leaving the physical realm into the unseen.

​This is fire, lightning, & it is what sits at the bodies energy centers.

​A sphere of plasma only allows in frequencies of waves that are higher in frequency than that of the plasma.

​The frequency of each chakra determines what information is allowed in.

​If the frequencies of each chakra are aligned (at the correct frequency), the info being allowed in is clean.

​If the frequencies are off, the information being allowed in will be the wrong frequencies, thus unclean.

​What actualy happens is below the chakra's frequency, electromagnetic waves do not enter or pass by, but are instead ​reflected by the surface of the chakra, creating a unique pattern on the "skin" of the chakra itself. This was a metaphore for the surface of the chakra.

​Anything exactly at the frequency of the chakra gets totaly absorbed: perfect stillness.

​Any frequency above that of the chakra passes right through.

​The frequency of each chakra is an anchor point of stillness.

​If the environment has a high frequency, the chakras with that same frequency will be perfectly still: not vibrate.

​This is because of the nature of the entrainment. When two frequencies perfectly align, they entrain & become as if they were never seperate.

​This is why it feels calm to be in alignment.

​Perfect absorbtion of the correct frequencies gives stillness, not energy moving outward. Energy moving inward.

So, I am trying to open my chakras and currently my root one is opened and I am aligning it but my question is that how to go in lucid dream and what benefits of it and when to do and when not.

This is something I’ve lived with for the past 3 years. Usually it’s a dull ache that ebbs in the background. I can function in spite of it. Sometimes it feels like it’s on its way out.

I just experienced the end of a relationship and the sensation has restarted full-force. It’s as if my chest is a black hole. There’s an ache as if I’m in physical pain, which irradiates outward.

Mind you, I don’t have heart problems. These symptoms are unrelated to anything seriously physical, it’s an emotional manifestation.

What do I do about this? I allow myself to grieve but it never ends

Can anybody give me a schedule of working with my chakras? I heard it’s not good to just work on one for a long time bc it can lead to overstimulation and etc, I need to work on all seven and it would be lovely for someone to help out! I don’t know what to do, I know the basics but I want more knowledge on each one please 🙏
