THE CHAKRA EXPERIENCE [THE CHAKRA EXPERIENCE - 2025-06-13 01:05] by Michele Guerrieri

This research explores the connection between music and the Chakras, centers of activity with definite characteristics (colors, sounds, frequency) that receive, assimilate and express life force energy. The study investigates the correlation between music and Chakras through the analysis of literature, a comparison with an expert, and practical experiments. It reports the criteria and evaluations that led me to select seven piano pieces for each Chakra. It then documents how, recording sessions as examples, I played the chosen pieces before and after increasing my spiritual awareness of the Chakras. Finally, it shows the comparison, in live musical settings, of my “piano piece - specific Chakra” choices with those of the listeners, confronting their sensibilities with mine and gathering their feedback. Results show the contribution of Chakra perception into my own piano interpretations by reviewing the stages of the research process, that eventually led me to create an interdisciplinary concert: “The Chakra Experience.” The research also addresses arguments about the importance of music and art nowadays and offers insights for those with an interest in approaching interdisciplinary projects.
