This post discusses using sound healing to tone and balance your chakras.
Mystics of many faiths believe that sound creates and pervades everything that exists. Sound healing is easily available using the tool almost everyone has: the voice. Sound healing can also be done using instruments, drums, singing bowls, and a myriad of other tools.
Sound healing is based on vibrational frequencies. Everything in the universe is made of energy that vibrates at its unique speed or frequency. If a person is in pain or feels out of balance, it may be because their subtle energy system is blocked or causing physiological issues.

What is MCAS?
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. It can cause severe, disabling symptoms every day, including potentially fatal anaphylaxis. MCAS often occurs with other chronic conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Managing MCAS is challenging because many healthcare providers are unaware of it, and diagnostic tests can be unreliable. Treatments include antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers, as well as avoiding triggers. Check out this post on managing MCAS.
Intention
Sacred Self-Healing relies on intention and frequency. Intention directs frequency to bring about healing. The universal formula for healing is:
Intention + Frequency = Healing.
In this expression, “frequency” refers to the specific healing modality being applied. Setting an intention is particularly beneficial when utilizing self-healing methods such as frequency and forgiveness. This post covers more information on the power of intention.
Beneficial Frequency
Beneficial frequency refers to natural vibrations that synchronize biological and Earth systems, to support overall harmony. For instance, visible red and blue light from the sun are beneficial frequencies because they regulate circadian rhythms. Likewise, Earth’s Schumann resonance is a naturally occurring frequency that aligns internal and external rhythms for health. This post discusses beneficial frequency in more depth.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness, like love, is seen as a high-frequency energetic state connected to compassion and gratitude. In contrast, emotions such as resentment and anger are thought to have lower frequencies, constricting rather than elevating well-being. Forgiveness helps elevate energy, promote emotional healing, and support physiological balance. Science hasn’t measured the frequency of forgiveness, but studies show that forgiveness can improve heart and brain patterns and help the body work more smoothly. Forgiveness brings balance, healing, and peace—both emotionally and physically. This post delves deeper into forgiveness.
What are chakras?
Chakras are energy centers in the body. The seven main chakras are the Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown. There are many other known chakras, but these seven are the primary ones. They are located at nerve centers in the body, and each chakra corresponds with a color. (See the Chakra Guide below. Chakras are vortices where energy enters or leaves the body, and chakras are known to metabolize energy. You can initiate healing of the body, mind, and spirit via the chakras, and we can access our connection to Spirit through them.
You can tone, balance, and send healing to the chakras using a combination of intuition, light, or other healing frequencies.
What is Sound Healing?
Sound Healing is a form of energy therapy based on vibrational frequencies that have been found to positively affect organs and tissues, as well as brainwave activity, which can change how a person feels and lives in the world. It can induce a state of calm, boost immune function, and resolve emotional and mental difficulties.
Intention and frequency healing
All frequency healing works on the intention you set. With an intention, you catapult your healing by directing frequency exactly where you want to apply it. Without an intention, you will still receive some benefits from frequency healing, but it can take much longer. Intention is the key to getting the most out of anything in life.
Intention setting is powerful because it signals your willingness to see things differently. And all it takes to put forgiveness in motion is a little willingness. So, intentions are more than goals; they join you with your Higher Teacher. When you set an intention, you combine your desire to be a partner in your healing with the seen and unseen forces at work in the Universe. Quantum physics has found that our thoughts can influence animate and inanimate objects. The same holds in your life. Whatever you put loving thoughts or positive energy into is more likely to come to fruition. You can influence your emotional, physical, and spiritual state by setting intentions.
Toning the Chakras
In my sessions with my clients, I begin by balancing the chakras. Today I’m going to show you how to balance your own chakras using sound healing. Sound healing is a practice that I use every day to balance my own chakras. Using the voice and the vowel sounds that correspond with each chakra, you can send sound vibrations to your body. Each chakra corresponds to a specific vibrational frequency, which matches the vowel sound associated with it.
How often can you vocal tone?
This practice can be done daily to balance each chakra by moving up and down the body. Typically, I tone each chakra 1-3 times and then move to the next one. If you knew that a specific chakra needs balancing, you can tone the vowel sound for that chakra for several minutes. Do what feels good. If, when you tone a certain chakra, your voice sounds jittery or skips, that might be a signal to focus more loving sound energy there.
Be gentle with your voice
Above all, this is meant to be a gentle self-care practice. Use the voice at a comfortable pitch and tone without strain. Begin by taking deep breaths, and breathe comfortably during the practice. It’s okay to take breaks, start over, or stop if you experience any discomfort.
I’ve included here an MP3 recording of me toning the chakras. Give it a try, and let me know what you think.
You can do it anywhere!
Toning the chakras can be done sitting, standing, or lying down. It can even be done while driving a car after you’ve had a bit of practice. Please be safe!

The bucket theory
The bucket theory simplifies understanding symptom reactions with MCAS. Imagine your body as an empty bucket you don’t want to overflow. Reactions to various stimuli fill the histamine bucket at different rates, forming the total histamine level (how full your bucket is). More histamine means more symptoms. By managing triggers, reducing exposures, and taking medications and supplements, you can control your bucket’s level.

Sign up for the SSP!
I’ve found the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to be the most helpful bottom-up healing strategy if your nervous system has been overloaded with toxic exposures, including mold or non-native EMFs, chronic infections, concussions, stress, or trauma. The SSP is a passive listening therapy based on Polyvagal Theory that helps heal nervous system dysregulation. Many people with MCAS and other chronic conditions have nervous system dysregulation stemming from infections, toxic exposures, concussions, and trauma. The SSP is an easy-to-use app that lets you listen to specially filtered music for 30 minutes each day as part of a 5-hour cycle. Studies show the SSP has a profound effect on mental health and chronic conditions. Here’s a short podcast describing the Safe and Sound Protocol.

Heal your mind!
While the SSP is a bottom-up, somatic therapy for healing the nervous system, the Sacred Self-Healing Method I offer is a top-down nervous system-healing modality that focuses on cognition, attention, perception, and emotion, using the mind’s higher functions. The SSP and the Sacred Self-Healing Method complement each other and together produce lasting results. Here’s a short podcast on my self-healing practice.
