This tuning fork set has seven pieces: each fork is tuned to the frequency of one of the main chakras. Weighted means there are small metal weights on the prongs that give a deeper, longer, more perceptible vibration. The whole set weighs 891 grams, so it is hand-held yet sounds stably and noticeably. These forks are used by sound therapists, yoga teachers and home practitioners alike.
What is the difference between weighted and plain tuning forks?
Weighted forks have small metal weights on their prongs, so the vibration is deeper and lasts longer. The tone is more felt on the body, so they are often used with direct contact — for example holding the fork on the palm during meditation, or on the back or shoulder while seated. Plain forks give a higher tone that travels better through the air and are used more for listening. The weighted set is a good choice for you if you want to feel the vibration, not only hear it.
How to use the seven forks
Each fork corresponds to the frequency of one main chakra. By tradition you go from the root chakra to the crown chakra, from the lower tones to the higher ones. Strike the fork with a felt-covered mallet or an activator disc on the lower third of the stem, and hold it about 10-20 centimetres above the corresponding body area. You can decide freely how long to use each fork — in sound therapy practice the sections usually last from 30 seconds to 2-3 minutes.
Where and when can it be a good companion for you?
The set works well for meditation, yoga practice, sound therapy, sound baths, evening quiet time or morning focus. Many people use it in group sessions where participants listen to or feel the vibration. It is also a good companion at home — in a quiet room, sitting on a cushion, taking a few minutes during the day, you can also experience the calming effect of the forks. There is one rule: a well-ventilated, quiet, uninterrupted place is best.
Material, size and durability
The forks are made of metal with weights attached. The whole set weighs 891 grams, meaning they are comfortable to hold individually while sounding stably with a well-felt vibration. Store them in a dry, cool place — ideally in a purpose-made case (sold separately), so they keep their tuning. They come to you from India, where quality tuning forks have been made for musical and practice purposes for decades.
What to keep in mind
Never strike the forks against metal or glass — this can damage both the fork and the struck object. Always use a felt mallet or a weighted activator disc. If the fork is placed on the body, take care not to press it hard — no pressure is needed to feel the gentle vibration. With health conditions, during pregnancy or with implanted medical devices, consult a doctor before use. Keep away from children, as the smaller weights can fall off. You can enjoy the pleasant, deep vibration of the forks by following these simple recommendations.
