The purpose of an individual Healing chime is to help an individual attain a better balance of one or more of their major chakras. Healing chimes are tuned to a specific chakra and when played focus a stimulating tone into the chakra(s) thus helping to create a better flow, or balance with and between the chakras. Chakras maybe over stimulated or under stimulated depending on established patterns of thought, emotion, or physical behavior. The advantage of using the chime energy is that it bypasses the defensiveness of the ego's blockage as it attempts to maintain the old dysfunctional energy pattern. When one's chakra(s) is out of balance either over stimulated or under stimulated, various physical and emotional problems can be manifested. By gently stimulating a chakra with sound vibration created by the Healing Chime the balancing point within the chakra is activated and begins to bring the high and low points towards the center. The balancing of the chakra begins to provide better overall health for the individual. The Healing Chimes is a form of sound therapy and is not a one shot fix. Rather the Chime needs to be listened on a consistent basis to set up a new pattern. Eventually one can begin to realize new insights about themselves and their environment. We have been told by individuals who have used the chimes that our Chimes are the American equivalent to Tibetan Singing bowls, and produce similar results. One difference however is that our chime's sound last several minutes with one strike of the mallet.

The psychological aspects of the major chakras can be contemplated for further insights by drawing a major arcana card, meditating on the card while playing the associated chakra note.

According to Eastern Tradition, chakras are centers of energy that supply energy to the blueprint of the body. Chakra is the Sanskrit word for wheel and many people who can see chakras describe them as spinning wheels or vortexes.
Each of the seven major etheric chakras influences specific organs of the body. The chakra can be in a balanced state, or over stimulated with energy, or under stimulated, thus affecting the health of the various organs. An over stimulated or "hot" chakra is said to lead to aggressive conditions such as inflammations, while an under stimulated or "cold" chakra can lead to passive debilitating conditions such as infections.

Most authors have described the major chakras as being located along the spine, over the forehead, and at the top of the head. The common names of the seven major chakras are as follows: first chakra or root chakra, second chakra or sacral chakra, third chakra or solar plexus chakra, forth chakra or heart chakra, fifth chakra or throat chakra, sixth chakra or brow chakra, seventh chakra or crown chakra.

The major arcana of the tarot is said to correspond to the seven major chakras. Each chakra has three major arcana cards representing the psychological aspects of the subconscious, the conscious, and the higher consciousness. This method of study and mastery was represented in the Great Pyramid of Egypt and corresponds to the twenty-one steps leading to the King's Chamber. The sarcophagus in the King's chamber is constructed to produce three octaves of the same note when struck in specific areas. This note was used to stimulate the three psychological aspects of that chakra. Traditionally, each major chakra is influenced by a specific note ranging from C to B. The subconscious, conscious, and higher consciousness aspect of each chakra is stimulated by a different octave of the same note.
