[Helpers] Chakra sounds up

[percyval]

hey Gustav... this is some really great work! :-)

i have spent some time over 3 or 4 sessions experiencing them, and also 
analyzing them a bit... although i never checked them against an actual 
instrument to see what note is which... just letting my chakras respond...

my guess would be  b,c,d,e,f,g,a,b,c which would be the traditional western 
alchemical associations.... but i know that many folks may respond 
individually, so the usual associations may not be the same for everyone... 
perhaps may even be culturally conditioned...

you have nine tones, which feel to me as described below (which i think is 
also what you have intended).

1- The Earth (out of body below the Root)
2- Root (commonly considered the First Chakra)
3- Lower Belly (commonly considered the Second Chakra)
4- Solar Plexus (commonly considered the Third Chakra)
5- Heart (commonly considered the Fourth Chakra)
6- Throat (commonly considered the Fifth Chakra)
7- Pineal/Third Eye (commonly considered the Sixth Chakra)
8- Crown (commonly considered the Seventh Chakra)
9- The Sun (out of body above the Crown)

i enjoyed all of the different versions of your scales... if forced to 
choose, i think i like "Chakras_Earth_Sun_HarmoniumGlass" the best... all of 
the harmonium versions vibrated many chakras besides the main association 
that i listed above... i was surprised at the varied responses as i played 
random pieces and chanted along.. often several chakras were vibrating 
intensely at the same time...

all of your scales took me into my Crown or out above it... and i think your 
idea to reverse the sequence back down to be very important... otherwise, i 
was occasionally left feeling very spacey, or with a headache... moving back 
down the scale quickly alleviated this...

i have some ideas for combining 2 or more chakra sounds, alternating one in 
each ear (like Monroe's "hemi-synch" tapes) that i'd like to play with... 
but it seems you have more ability and equipment for that than i do... 
perhaps we can work together on some experiments... i'd like to speak by 
phone if we can... i have an international calling plan that allows me 
freedom to call around the world without much expense...

congratulations on doing such a fantastic job...

lovingly,

percyval
