Different swaras are produced when the air is tapped by different chakras. I prefer comparing these chakras to the holes on a flute, which control the frequency of the vibration, thus producing different notes, because for me the number of chakras (7) and the number of notes is not a mere coincidence. As per my understanding, the air we breathe comes from the cosmos and so we should be resonating with the corresponding frequency in the cosmos. Everything that is seen in the Universe is nothing but Energy, in different forms. As I understand it, these are nothing but the different energy centers in the human body.
Most of us have heard about the chakras in the human body.
Then a striking resemblance to the working of flute made me arrive at the following results. In quest of an explanation for the above thoughts, I came across the above picture.

Then a series of questions/thoughts etc arose in my mind as if this is so, do we resonate with a particular frequency? If so what is the source of the resonant frequency? Do we have a mechanism to control/alter the frequency, as in flutes where holes control the length of the column of air? So on and so forth. Isn’t our body also an air column, much more complicated though? I say this because, when we breathe, air inhaled from the nostrils is sent to move all over our body and thus it should become an air column. etc., the basic principle of producing sound being the same.Ī similar analogy struck me when I was studying the above phenomenon. Vibrating air columns can be of different types, open, closed at one end, cylindrical, conical etc. This is what I mean when I say stopping the air at different lengths. You may have observed a flutist tapping/closing different holes to produce different notes. This frequency is altered by stopping the air at different intervals, through holes on the flute body, thus basically controlling the length of the vibrating/resonating air column/flute body. So shorter the tube, higher is the frequency. The frequency of vibration or resonance is inversely dependent on the length of the resonating air column. Explained generally in crude terms, when air is blown through one end of the flute, vibrations/waves set in, which travel the length of the flute body thus producing the sound of a particular frequency. Wind instruments like flute work on the principle of open air columns/open pipes. This is a humble effort to put my understanding and analogy of the same. The working of wind instruments is of special interest to me since I could draw an easy analogy between this and human body.
