This series is another step on the path that is clearer for me all the time: the Symbalas are serving as focusing lenses for co-creative attuning processes.

A 12-Chakra Symbala series has been a thought form for several years (encouraged by two associates, Arlene Arnold and Michele Louie) and a serious intention since last Fall, but the energy for it didn't begin to manifest until this Spring of 2007. Then it came through like an avalanche!

The connection to Cyndi Dale's amazing work, which led to the creation of the 'Elemental Resonance' series, is once again the catalyst. Cyndi's comment when she saw them says it all, "Lahrinda, these are absolutely beautiful! Your work is fantastic!"

A clear picture of the human energy system includes an understanding of the revolving doors (chakras) between the material and spiritual realms.

"Chakra is actually a Sanskrit term meaning 'wheel of light.' A chakra is nothing more or less than a wheel of light revolving in and through our energy system....Chakras regulate, maintain, and manage the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being on the physical plane. Chakras themselves serve as revolving doors or portals between our body, mind, and soul.

"New Chakra Healing presents a view of the visible and invisible aspects of our beings, and highlights various methods that can be used to open these portals." New Chakra Healing by Cyndi Dale, cyndidale.com.

Here's a YouTube video to expand your journey through the first 7 Chakras with sound. This is a collaboration with Jonathan Goldman, who is a writer, musician and teacher. He is an authority on sound healing and a pioneer in the field of harmonics. He says of our joint effort, "I think our work is in divine resonance!" Visit his website.

Each of the 12 chakras in this series will be accompanied by a short, descriptive paragraph from New Chakra Healing by Cyndi Dale.

May these Symbalas be inspiring and useful to you on your path of attunement, both personal and universal.
