  1. Hello,

    I am starting to learn everything concerning the CHAKRA.
    During my investigation, I found this list:
    1st CHAKRA: G (194,48 Hz)
    2nd CHAKRA: G# 210,42 Hz)
    3rd CHAKRA: B (126,22 Hz)
    4th CHAKRA: C# (136,10 Hz) (Same frequency as the OM)
    5th CHAKRA: C# (141,27 Hz)
    6th CHAKRA: A (221,23 Hz)
    7th CHAKRA: F (172,06 Hz)

    Now, I have the following problem: I have a complete set of 'normal'
    tuning forks (C, C#, D, ...) but not the CHAKRA tuning forks that
    exist.

    I would like to know if it is true that the 4th & the 5th chakra use
    the same tuning forks (c#). However, I see that there is a slight
    difference in Hz between the 4th and the 5th chakra.

    Core question: Is it really necessary to purchase a chakra tuning
    forks set, or can I use the c# tuning fork for both the 4th and the
    5th chakra.

    Any help is really appreciated,

    Best wishes,

    Stefan

  2. Hello,

    Thank for the invaluable information, but the core question (should I
    buy CHAKRA tuning forks instead of the basic tuning forks that I have)
    seems still opnen.

    I got the frequencies of the website:
    http://www.planetware.de/tone/cosmic.html (and then click on your left
    side table of chakra's)

    So please, help me out on this.

    Best wishes,

    Stefan

    A file applied to your tuning fork set will raise their frequency.

    If you are looking for a health benefit, then the regular tuning forks are
    fine.

    If you want to tune a musical instrument to a standard, then one could use a
    auto-chromatic tuner like the Seiko ST-1100 no matter what the temperment or
    scale.

  4. Dear Stefan

    there must something wrong with this frequenzes. Cause A ist 440 Hz. Puting
    down A one oktave is 220 Hz not 221,23 Hz. Although nobody can hear the
    difference between 136,10 Hz and 141,27 Hz or even 126,22 Hz. If you tune
    any instrument, you won´t hear the difference. Even such guys als Rubinstein
    did´nt know that. He always wanted that his piano was tuned on 380 Hz
    instead of 440 Hz. His Tuner couldn´t convince him, that this was imposibel
    even for a tuning maschine.

    So I looked at the page you´ve named, and I couldn´t find any sense in that,
    nor on music side nor on spiritual meanings. I´m not a master or even a good
    scholar in yoga by myself, only one who practice for al long time, if ten
    years are a long time. There are tunes witch correspondent with chakras, but
    maybe it is a good fortune to try it by yourselve witch chakra answer on
    witch tune. Please forgive me for my bad englisch, cause i´m not in juse of
    writting it for al long time.

    A trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 the commas help identifiying

    Rules of punctuation according to whom? Get over being Anglo-centric....

    sue

    Get over being Anglo centric? What are you talking about? I was pointing
    out that you were using punctuation correctly unlike some here that replace
    periods with commas because "it adds style" or some other redneck-hillbilly
    excuse for poor education.

    And I see you use them when appropriate. No gratutiously or without
    regard to the rules of punctuation.

    And *I* meant that your `judging' the use of commas instead of periods
    as `style or poor education', shows that you're in need of some
    education. Most European countries *properly* use them that way.

    You mean most non-anglo non-scientists and non-technical people. Theres
    a lot of 'pet' german dialects also.

    "pet" German "dialects"? What do you mean by that? And, eh, rules of using
    comma's and other punctuation is actually very different from language to
    language. Don't expect the whole world to have a firm grasp of English
    grammar. And, use your own punctuation correctly, if you want to [censored] about
    non-native writers not always using correct English grammar. "There's" as in
    "There is", not Theres (not a word). And, since you're reffering to a
    plural, use "there are".

    Most of continental Europe does.

    A trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 the commas help identifiying
    what the number is. Would it be 1000000000000 in German?


    No. It would be 1.000.000.000.000 or, simply 1.10^9

    Correction: 1.10^12....

    Sue, this is the Internet, darling. We use American English here. Make a note

    Yeah, a month old x-posted thread to which to reply!

    They use commas instead of decimal points in SA too, presumably due to
    them having much Dutch ancestry and despite them once being a member of
    our blesséd Commonwealth.

    Ostensibly to prevent this confusion, over in this part of the world --
    poorly taught and followed, even to those who claim themselves educated
    -- convention says any number over one thousand is supposed to be
    grouped neither by . nor by , but by .
