Root Chakra
The root chakra is responsible for holding the blueprint of your physical vitality. It is the foundation on which all the other chakras are built. Furthermore, the root chakra is also responsible for your basic survival needs like food, shelter, and water. The energy vibrating at the root chakra, or lack thereof, regulates your health and your passion for life. Activating red energy takes focus. Your ability to stay focused and not flitter from one thing to another without accomplishing anything is controlled by your ability to stay grounded and in the present moment.
Tibetan Singing Bowl – Root Chakra
A Tibetan bowl, generally made from a bronze alloy containing copper, tin, zinc, iron, silver, gold, and nickel is a type of standing bell played by striking or rubbing its rim with a wooden or leather-wrapped mallet. This excitation causes the sides and rim of the bowl to vibrate, producing a rich sound. The unique singing properties of Tibetan bowls were utilized as a way of investigating a liquid’s interaction with solid materials — a situation that arises in many engineering applications such as the wind-loading of bridges and buildings.
When a fluid-filled Tibetan bowl is rubbed, the slight changes in the bowl’s shape disturb the surface at the water’s edge, generating waves. Moreover, when these changes are sufficiently large, the waves break, leading to the ejection of droplets.
The new findings could benefit processes such as fuel injectors and perfume sprays where droplet generation plays an important role.
The high-speed videos allowed the researchers, from Université de Liège and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to quantify how the droplets were formed, ejected, accelerated, and bounced on the surface of the fluid.
A similar phenomenon exists when rubbing the edge of a wine glass, which inspired the design of the glass harmonica by Benjamin Franklin. However, the Tibetan singing bowl is easier to excite than the wine glass, since its resonant frequency is much smaller.
The sound of Tibetan singing bowls harmonizes and allows for deep relaxation of both sides of the brain. It stimulates stress relief on all levels and the elimination of toxins from the body. After sound therapy emotions are calm and the mind is clearer and the sound vibrations have an effect on the body after the singing bowls have been played on it.
