Sound healing is being used more an more today on all parts of the body and Chakras are no left out of this form of healing in fact I have found that some people respond better to Tuning Forks then to crystals.
People also use singing bowls to heal, but I have not used these for healing, the only time I have used a singing bowl is in when I am attuning a student to a Reiki Level, I will not comment on their use.
The are mantras that use sound to heal and meditation I am sure most of you have heard of "Omm" (not sure of the spelling) and there are mantras for the Chakras as well, so I will give you the notes for the tuning forks and the Mantra name as well.
