PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION

IT IS OUR GREAT PRIVILEGE to present to you this brand-new edition of Chakra Frequencies: Tantra of Sound (originally published as Tantra of Sound: Frequencies of Healing), winner of the Visionary Award for Best Alternative Health Book. This newest edition is filled with even more compassionate wisdom and information for you to discover on your journey through the sound current!

The more we have utilized Chakra Frequencies as a tool for teaching and transformation, the more it has withstood the test of time. The information, exercises, and other materials continue to be as timely as when they were first writtenin fact, probably even more timely because the field of sound continues to grow at an astonishing rate, and this book continues to be honored in the field.

Since the first publication of our book, the world of sound healing has truly flourished. We are grateful for thisit is an acknowledgment of not only the ability of sound to heal, but also the extraordinary capacity of sound to transform and create positive, lasting change. More and more people have come to understand the amazing power of sound to create frequency shifts on so many different levels, including the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. So many are beginning to open up to sound. What a blessing!

We are living in extraordinary times nowtimes of great shift and change. Perhaps this is one of the main reasons why there is so much interest in the field of sound healing. Sound can help us heal ourselves and can also bring harmony and balance to this planet. Sound creates change and allows us to adjust our frequencies, enabling us to come into alignment with all the vast shifts that are occurring. Through sound, we can experience a quantum leap in our evolutionboth as a species and as a planet. It is vital and necessaryin fact, it is mandatorythat we learn to adapt to these shifts and changes by adjusting our vibratory level to one that resonates with all that is happening, both within us and around us. One of the fastest, easiest, and most powerful ways of doing so is through sound. Once you learn to use sound to shift your frequencies, the possibilities are limitless.

As both our ancient spiritual masters and our modern quantum physicists acknowledge, the universe is vibration. It follows that our ability to adjust our vibrations by shifting and changing our frequencies means that there is nothing we cant do. Do you want to bring healing and harmony into your life? Use sound! Do you want to create more resonance and peace with those around you? Use sound! Do you want to enhance both personal and planetary quantum evolution? Use sound!

Since its first publication, we have pondered innumerable changes to the title of our book because the popular meaning of tantra in our Western culture is often associated with sexual energy, which has caused confusion in potential readers minds about the books subject matter. The word tantra truly has centuries-old origins that resonate with the principles of vibration and sound. In fact, the etymology of tantra comes from the words tattva (the science of cosmic principles) and mantra (the science of vibration). It was this ancient and authentic meaning of the word that we had in mind when we chose our original title and it was our aim to bring awareness of this cosmic vibration to our readers.

If you understand our premisethat this interconnecting link joining all of reality is both based upon sound and created by soundthen you will truly appreciate the information, techniques, and materials in the book. We have titled the new edition Chakra Frequencies because the seven chakras, located vertically along the center of our bodies, are vortices of vibration. When we focus our sound work on the chakras, we are able to change our vibrational frequencies and allow resonance with greater aspects of the unified field of consciousness. Through learning to work with chakra frequencies, we can enhance our health and wellness, accelerate our awareness, and advance our evolutionary process to embody our interconnectedness with all that is. We have retainedTantra of Sound as the subtitle for our book because its true meaning that we can connect with the cosmos through soundcontinues to have central relevance to the books subject.

We are grateful that you have picked up Chakra Frequencies: Tantra of Sound and we trust that if youve gotten this far in your reading, you realize what a gem you have in your hand. It is our great hope that this new edition will attract an even greater audience of people to the extraordinary and transformational world of sound.
