✧ What is a meditation or healing chime?
A meditation chime or healing chime is a sound instrument made of suspended metal tubes or rods, which are struck or allowed to vibrate with the wind or movement. It emits pure, long, resonant and harmonious sounds, designed to induce a state of deep relaxation and support energy or spiritual work .
These chimes are often tuned to specific frequencies (chakra, Earth, or healing frequencies like 528 Hz) and carefully crafted to maximize their vibrational effect. Unlike traditional decorative chimes, they are used in meditative, therapeutic, ritual, or even musical contexts.
✧ Origin and symbolism of chimes
🌏 Deep spiritual roots
Chimes have their origins in several spiritual traditions around the world:
In Asia (particularly in Tibet, Japan and China), bells and chimes were hung on temples and pagodas to ward off evil spirits and attract benevolent energies .
-
In India , sounds were considered vehicles of divine energy (Nada Yoga) . Bells, singing bowls and chimes were used to awaken consciousness.
In the West , the sound of wind chimes in gardens or at home entrances was associated with protection of the home and harmony with nature .
Today, healing chimes are part of a holistic approach, between lithotherapy , meditation , reiki , feng shui and sound therapy .
✧ What are the benefits of healing chimes?
