Changes in dietary pattern, subtler exercises, swadhyay, positive mental attitude promotion, proper relaxation, proper meditation, music therapy and mantra chikitsa, agnihotra becoming a part of society are means of managing stress. Out of which we are discussing here the use of music as a tool for energy balancing and stress management.

Music and its Relation with Energy and Body

The bip-bip-bip of a tiny fetal heart, the muffled syncopation of a mother's pulse, oscillating brain waves, the ebb of flow of hormones, the cadence of death. These countless other organic rhythms make up the biological drum beat of life. If we go further we find that whole universe is rhythmic. There exists particular frequency relation among all particles.

The sound is first sign of universe. As per vedic methodology, the three lords are Khalve (matter), nad (sound) and akhar (alphabet). The first tanmatra of chetna or life is sound.

Even in deep meditation a person hear sounds such as,

1. The chirping of birds.
2. The sound of crickets.
3. The sound of bells.
4. The sound of conch.
5. The sound of the ring (an Indian lute).
6. The sound of mridanga (barrel drum).
7. The sound of flute.
8. The sound of pakhavaj (another type of drum).
9. The sound of trumpet.
10.The roar of a lion.

As per narad sanhita (an ancient book of music and drama) It is said:
Birds, crickets, dear etc, each animal sings. Therefore, it is proved that music exists is all our environment.

Maharshi Panini in his book "paniniya shiksha" describes the origin of sound as follows:

When soul wishes to express the means of mind of wisdom then it stimulates fire of the body and that fire forces air which generates basic sound. This sound as per the place of origin i.e. heart, throat, and vocal is known as mandra (slow), Madhya (medium) and tivra (loud). The sound multiplies and become audible by ear and called shruti (which can be heard). These shruti are 22 on which seven swar are based. At present we have 7 basic and 5 secondary, total 12 swaras.

We know very well that sound is a kind of energy and human body is encircled by physical and etheric (cosmic, magnetic, and telluric) energies. The change in harmony of environmental energy effects on the mind of a human and resulting misbalance and stress which is seen in the form of various mental and physical illness.
Therefore, use of music can be a tool for balancing human energy.

How music can be used ?

A particular type of sound generates a particular type of energy-waves, which can be measured by its frequencies whose unit is Hertz, which is effecting a particular sense of our body.

The music has seven basic chord and similarly body has 7 chakra, 7dhatus (constituent), 7sensory organs, 7desires and obstacle. These all are in harmony with each other. Even the sound and color of the chakra are 7 and also there exists so many
combination of 7 in universe i.e. 7 seas, 7 continent.7 lokas etc.

Now we shall see the correlating swar (base chord) with chakra and their emotional sequences as per the chart.

Effect of Sound

As per the sound scientist world has been created by sound. Rains, flood, storm. Earthquake comes because of occasional change in frequencies and current of sound. All the momentum of earth and space is based on sound. Here we will discuss some of experiment on sound.

During First World War Germany used one machine which could generate/million hertz per second sound which used to disturb all sensory nerves of man and they were died.

Crystals
CRYSTALS AND ENVIRONMENTAL BALANCE

The energies from crystals (Lead Crystals, gems, stones, and minerals) react from our Aura of energy, energy in the area (office, home, and vehicle) and make the balance of energies. The most important of the many Fengshui and other enhancements to life that crystals perform is bringing each of us closer by removal of obstacles, so blockages are neither in use nor in environments.
The Tibetans and Chinese observed this and for the past 5000 years have been refining a system of Geomancy to assist us in feeling our lives. This System known as Fengshui also brings the wonderful energy present in the beauty of nature into our living environments.

Crystals have the ability to radiate healing energy travels and crystals help in balancing the same according to need of house and person.

Crystals can be used as pendulum, antenna for yes/no answer to problem also with practice.

Crystal's energies are the area with rainbow effects and so it is desirable to put some in windows or with lights.

CRYSTALS USED IN BALANCING

(1) Crystals are used by hanging / placing in the room for energizing and for dispersing negative energy.
(2) Crystals by hanging in window of N/E of the house or living room is overall beneficial to family for Education & Knowledge. It is also advisable to place crystal in N/E corner of room or even on study table of children which increases energy
level, concentration and alertness.
(3) Crystals in S/E helps in relationship and partnership. So for better relationship it is advisable to place crystals in S/W of bedroom &living room with natural light or with low voltage bulbs. Like this, we can put up in offices and chambers for good
relationship and undertaking between partners staff & boss.
(4) Placement of crystals in west of children room also helps in children education and overall development.
(5) For missing area, we can place crystals and lamp in the area to increase and for dispersing the energy.
(6) For toilets in unwanted place, we can place it between the toilet door and passage area, and bedroom and toilet door.
Crystals can be placed in N/E or S/W toilets to neutralize the bad effects.
(7) Crystals are also used instead of wind chimes in various areas to slowdown the energy flow-
     (a) Whenever, we can see straight out from main door to window, we can use bugua shape (Eight      direction shape)
     crystals.
     (b) Whenever, we see the front door opens straight towards the staircase, we can use crystals by      hanging between main
     door and staircase.
     (c) If poison angle points into room from beams, overhead ducts, bulkheads, cupboards, columns      which adds harshness.
     It can be also softened by placing crystals on them. (This is tested by Mr. Pankaj and others as I      have not tested).  
(8) Placement of crystals near the computer or above the computer, microwave oven, TV and other instruments helps in
neutralizing the bad effect of Electromagnetic radiation.
(9) Hand in car near mirror also energies the vehicle & increases alertness and positive attitude.
(10) Crystals activate water in a manner similar to magnets placed on water bowl.

Type & Use of crystals:

1. Better use natural crystals in raw form i.e. stone, gitti, boulder etc.
2. As natural stones are not available everywhere, we are using lead crystal. Lead crystals are of various varieties can be used i.e. imported or local, good cut, zerricone (American Diamond) sarwoski, etc. At present, Lead crystals of good cut of
chandeliers or sarwoski are in main use.
3. After Dr. Rene speech and discussions, we can also make useful crystals, gemstone kits with the help of a Rene Antenna
and I am glad that Mr. Pankaj Agrawal has started in testing the same and to make research on the same for better
environment, help in human health
4. Crystals used by Fengshui Experts are Lead crystals, semi Precious Stones in raw form, Mineral deposit stones such as:
     a) Pyratie (Silver Pyrite/ Ruby Pyrite) for North West & West.
     b) Hematite (Black stone with red masses) Iron Oxide for North, Northwest & West.
     c) Copper Stones
     d) Quarter with titanium
     e) Silver Ore
     f) Copper Ore

But due to non-availability, good shape formation (artistic to keep in house/office) they are very costly.
Semi precious stones are also used such as Ruby for South West, Amethyst - North, Southwest, South, Emerald in East, Sapphire in Northeast, etc. But, we can use Lead Crystals of any type anywhere and get more results as we use Coloured ones as per directions.

Semi Precious Stones
We are travelling together,
The path is long
It is strewn with
Bones and Precious Stones.

Since ancient times, stones have been believed to have psychic power. These exert a great influence upon all aspects of our lives. The stone are alive- entities pulsating, radiating, and vibrating at different rates. They create strong energy fields, which enable us to be charged with their energies; they activate our abilities, soothe and comfort, heal and balance through the purity and directness of their beams. They express through their facets our infinite variety of aspects.

Illumination is the key word for the stones

They illuminate the earth as stars do
They have light and shine, even when unpolished
They contain the seed of light, the point of light
The center of the cosmic sea.

The colors are rays of love. Each has its own particular vibration. By understanding the unique properties of each of seven rays we will be able to apply these same qualities to the stones. The study of colors is a preparation to using stones in a healing and spiritually transformative way. The stoned emits the magnetic power of the ray of light contained within. The aura is benefited and the whole being feels more harmonious. Let us review:

     Reds and oranges are stimulating and invigorating to the physical body;
     Yellows vitalize and accelerate mental activities;
     Greens are calming and soothing to the nervous system;
     Blue and indigo are inspirational, giving spiritual tone;
     Purples accelerate and sublimate all processes of body, mind and spirit.
