My experiences along these lines include a concert many years ago by Steven Halpern where he demonstrated how different tones affected the chakras, and a voodoo ceremony where I most definitely felt the effect of the drumming on the lower chakras. Here's what I find in the 'music and the occult' section of my library for chakras: >From _Sounding the Inner Landscape: Music as Medicine_ by Kay Gardner, Caduceus Publications, 1990, ISBN 0-9627200-3-8 "The musical pitch related to the root chakra is C; its balancing pitch is the fifth above, G." Root chakra - pitch C, complement G Belly chakra - pitch D, complement A Solar Plexus chakra - pitch E, complement B Heart chakra - pitch F-sharp, complement C-sharp Throat chakra - pitch G, complement D Brow chakra - pitch A, complement E Crown chakra - pitch B-flat, complement F She's getting some of the tones by putting a tone with a color. >From _Music and the Elemental Psyche: A Practical Guide to Music and Changing Consciousness_ by R.J. Stewart: Feet = Earth = C Genitals = Water = D Heart = Fire = E Throat = Air = F Forehead = Spirit = G In _The Secret Power of Music_ by David Tame, I don't find specific musical tones corresponding to the chakras, but on page 277 there is a table with the following correspondences to each of the chakras: Rhythm of the chakra Instruments which particularly influence the chakra Examples of music which correctly energize the chakra by expressing the divine qualities of the ray Musical styles which particularly pervert the correct functioning of the chakra with a note that this table is taken from _The Science of Rhythm for the Master of the Sacred Energies of Life: Uses and Misuses of the Word in the Music of East and West_ by (yikes) Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
