I wanted to introduce one of the first experiments I conducted after researching how to heal with sound frequencies.
Press PLAY on the embedded SoundCloud player below to hear the first draft of a 5-minute experimental piece of relaxing piano music meant to heal the crown chakra. I later re-mastered it for a MusicalGrowth.com album!
It has been deemed VERY effective by a Reiki healer in Arizona. Let me know what you think!
About This Piece
You may not have noticed, but the entire piece was 8 Hz lower than our standard Western tuning! Usually, across all music nowadays including orchestras, radio songs, broadway musicals, basically any music in the West, is tuned to A = 440 Hz. All other notes in our tuning system is then based around this fact.
BUT.
In this experimental piece, I’ve detuned the piano sound library and all the other electronic instruments and effects to A = 432 Hz. I bet you didn’t even catch that, right? 8 Hz lower to create a warmer atmosphere while also becoming pinpoint accurate to the Crown chakra.
The Purpose
The purpose behind tuning this piece 8 Hz lower is to resonate with a specific chakra, in this case the Crown chakra. 288 Hz resonates with the Third Eye chakra and the other 5 chakras also have specific frequencies associated with them. But the Crown chakra has been related to 432 Hz.
I won’t go into detail here, but I would highly recommend reading my article on all this research I did – Healing With Sound Frequencies.
I named this piece, “Pinnacle Mind,” because the frequencies used (all multiples and divisions of 432 Hz) resonate with the crown chakra. So this piece is highlighting the top of our heads, the pinnacle of our being. I then renamed it “Rise of Energy” to help introduce the idea of moving past the mind! It is on my current album, “Piano Steps.”
How was it made?
The way I go about creating most of my healing, meditation, or study music is more improvisatory – in that most of it is made up on the spot of the recording.
I generally begin with a rough idea (i.e. I have these chords and I want to go for these emotions), but other than that, the rhythms, melodies, and overall structure is ad lib. or made up on the spot.
I find this freedom allows me to shape things more organically. I have, of course, written full length pieces without improvisation – for example, operas, 5-movement mixed ensemble pieces, duets, trios, choir pieces, etc. But improvising pieces is on another level.
By creating the music in the moment, I find it makes the music more personal. And this personal touch, I hope, can be felt between the listener and the music.
Conclusion
I know this article is very short, but I only wanted to take a moment and introduce the community of MusicalGrowth to my newest creation.
I’m currently working on an album for LeilaAmani.com to specifically create music to heal each chakra. As I compose, Leila Amani tests their effectiveness and so far, so good! As a Reiki healer herself, I trust in her judgement more than mine. She’s FAR more sensitive to “feeling” chakras than I am, so I’m very lucky in having her trail run these tracks.
I hope to release this album in June 2018 – but we’ll see!

Hello there
i absolutely loved this piece so much. so much clarity
I am hoping to create my own clarinet pieces alongside some chanting meditation music for my yoga students.
Would you please be able at all to help me with certain notes/ scales which work on the clarinet for each chakra?
thank you so much in advance

Hi Sophie, I’m so glad you like this – it’s funny because I re-mastered this and put it on a MusicalGrowth album:
You may have to return your clarinet to at least get the tonic of a Major scale within the freq. range of a chakra (definitely read my other article Healing Sound Frequencies Explained)
Unfortunately, the Western world of of equal temperament doesn’t line up with the freq.’s needed. My work around for MusicalGrowth Chakra Freq’s album (“Once Hidden”) was so ensure each tonic at least matched and then retune the entire scale accordingly. There not really one scale that fits all Chakras, but I’d read the article I mentioned above for a lot more info on this! Best of luck. So great to hear your play clarinet – I hope this helps!
