Traditional / experimental practice
Chakra · Throat · 141.27 Hz
Four minutes of a 141.27 Hz tone (Mercury; from Hans Cousto's cosmic octave set) with a rubbed, swelling crystal bowl at the same pitch and a soft drone an octave below. One of the seven main stops of the Chakra Journey; the ten-minute version is in the Long Journey. Chakra frequencies are a spiritual practice from various traditions; no scientific effect is claimed.
A traditional or spiritual practice, not a scientific claim.

Compare with another sound
Hear both at the same loudness; drag the slider to the middle and they blend.
In the middle the two sounds truly blend; loudness is matched.
8 trials, half of them the same sound; get at least 7 right and the difference is audible. The result stays on this device.

Frequencies and chakras
A spiritual practice from various traditions; not a scientific claim. The school behind the frequency set used is stated.
Evidence level T: Traditional/spiritual practiceWhat do we know?
- The chakra concept comes from spiritual traditions of Indian origin.
- Sets that assign frequencies to chakras vary between schools; there is no agreed list.
- The set used in the app comes from Hans Cousto's "cosmic octave" school: mostly octave multiples of periods such as the Earth's rotation, lunar phases and orbits (e.g. the Earth day, 194.18 Hz, for the root).Cousto 1987 · Cousto 2009
What don't we know?
- Evidence gapThe effect of frequencies on chakras has not been scientifically tested.
- Evidence gapThere is no evidence that transposing a period into the audible range by octaves creates any connection to that phenomenon.

A session's level is the weakest of its linked claims; it is never raised by a strong but unrelated claim.
