Chakra Balancing: The first chakra (red) is not in the key of C, but in A.

I am ignorant about so much involving energy. I know it works. I have an ability to help others in pain. That's what I know.
One of our neighbors fell a few months back. Her head hit the pavement and she cracked her pubic bone. I have sent her energy at night. Not knowing if she is being helped by it, but hoping that she is.
A few weeks back my wife and I visited her and during that visit she complained of a pain in her left shin. I asked if I could try to help. She consented. I worked on her foot and lower leg for about ten minutes. I could feel no muscular problem and felt that the pain might be nerve related. I kept trying to move energy through the hurting point to "wash" the area and reacquaint it with the other tissue and nerves around it.
When I was done, she said the bottom of her foot felt tingly. About five minutes later, she said, with surprise, that she was no longer in pain. I thanked her for the opportunity.

Chakra Balancing CD - Chakra Soundscapes
As I finished the second semester of Chakra Balancing at Tai Sophia, I wondered what I would do during the hiatus of about ten weeks before semester three. I didn't wonder very long.
I'm a musician and recording engineer; right brain & left brain (and somewhat ambidextrous.) The first two semesters taught me many things. They also left me wondering about other things. What would a sound for each chakra sound like? To get to the answer, I went left brain to find the frequencies of light to see how they might correlate with the frequencies of sound.
The visible light spectrum goes from red to violet. Think of it visually from left to right. Infrared light (farthest to the left) is invisible. Then red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and violet. The ultraviolet, which is also not visible, to the right. The center of the red part of the spectrum is about 435 Terrahertz. 435 times ten to the 12th. Violet is over 700 TerraHertz.
Two thoughts collided in my brain. First, musically, an octave is the doubling or halving of any frequency. 435THz to over 700THz is an octave in Terrahertz. Visible light is AN OCTAVE!
How to hear it. Well let's reduce, decimate or decrease it proportionally to see where it fits within the spectrum of audible sound. Many people know that 440Hz is an A note. 880, then would be A, one octave higher. 220 would be an A note one octave lower.
Is it a coincidence that 435 equates to a slightly flat A note and is the first visible color (red)? I don't think so. What this DOES call into question, however, is the thought that the key of C, as many people have believed, has to do with the first chakra.
When I discovered that some people thought the key of C to represents the first chakra, both my left and right brains thought it somehow out of sync. Why would the FIRST chakra start in the MIDDLE of the musical scale? As possible answers; The scale of C is simple, and probably the first one someone learns when taking piano lessons because it usually starts with middle C and uses all white keys. Some folks say the key of C is "the people's key." Others say the key of E or G is the people's key.
OK, but these are musical notions. I'm more interested in sound and vibrations.
What about the fact that 435 is NOT 440? OK, but this is our western scale. A scale in which there are only 12 notes (counting sharps or flats) to an octave. You don't have to look very far to find that other cultures use more notes per octave than we do. In fact, there is a 31 note per octave scale that appeared hundreds of years ago based of sevenths. There are even 41 and 53 note scales. That's taking the same octave but instead of having 12 keys on the piano, having 31, 41 or 53 keys.
My point here is that while 440 is relevant, it's not sacred. My chakra instructors have already suggested that within each color, there are at least seven shades of that color, each of which representing something different. So there would be seven subtle variations (maybe more) to each of the seven notes.
I then went right brain and composed my first track. Nothing but A notes across seven octaves with six different instruments and I was INTENDING to compose for the first chakra.
After I was done, I asked a friend with a book group if she would play the CD during her meeting. I asked her not to say what chakra it was intended for, but to ask where people felt it and any other observations they might have. She said, of 15 people, three felt nothing. The other 12 all felt something in their lower abdomens.
My friend quite liked the track but said she wanted it to rise "to make my heart sing." I created a track in the key of D (fourth chakra, by my calculations) and sent it to her. She said that's exactly where she felt it.

Have a wonderful day.
