Heart Chakra Tuning Fork, Green, 8.5 Inch

Sound can soften something in the chest that has been held tight. One strike, one open tone, and the breath seems to come a little easier. This heart chakra tuning fork brings that moment to your practice: an 8.5 inch green fork pitched at 136.10 Hz, the frequency assigned to the heart center in the planetary tuning system most chakra fork sets follow, with a 7 inch mallet included to sound it.

Strike it at the opening of heart-centered work, sweep it slowly across the chest, or simply rest in the tone. The sound fades, but the opening it invites stays. That softening is the whole practice.

Key Features of This Heart Chakra Tuning Fork

Pitched at 136.10 Hz. Chakra fork sets assign this tone, often called the OM frequency, to the heart following the planetary tunings worked out by Swiss mathematician Hans Cousto, which gives your heart-centered work a consistent, repeatable sound you can return to session after session.

Green for the heart center. In the modern chakra color system, green marks Anahata, the center of love and compassion at the chest, so the fork doubles as a visual cue on the altar: reach for the color, and the intention comes with it.

Includes a 7 inch mallet. A clean tone starts with a proper strike, and the included mallet lets you sound the fork consistently without rapping it against hard surfaces that could mar the tines.

The Spiritual Significance

The chakra system descends from Hindu and Buddhist tantra, where Anahata, the "unstruck" sound, sits at the center of the chest as the heart of the whole system: the meeting place of the lower and upper centers, the seat of love, compassion, and connection, tied to the element of air. Modern practitioners work with the heart for openness and forgiveness, and sound is one of the oldest doorways to that work, the way a warm tone can ease a guardedness that effort alone cannot.

The tuning fork itself is a newer arrival, invented in 1711 by the British court trumpeter John Shore, and the pairing of specific frequencies with specific chakras is more recent still: it follows the planetary calculations Hans Cousto published in the 1970s, which derived 136.10 Hz from the Earth's orbit around the Sun, the tone he linked to the syllable OM. The value of the pitch is not antiquity but consistency, the same warm tone every time, a reliable threshold your practice learns to recognize.

Strike it, and you join an old intention to a precise modern instrument. The fork sounds the note; you do the opening.

How To Use This Heart Chakra Tuning Fork

1. Hold the fork by the stem, never the tines, so the tone can ring freely.
2. Strike the tines gently with the included mallet or against the heel of your palm; avoid stone, metal, or other hard surfaces, which can mar the tines and dull the pitch.
3. Bring the singing fork near the center of the chest, or sweep it slowly through the space around you, and follow the tone with your full attention until it fades completely.
4. Re-strike as the work calls for; many practitioners open and close a sitting with three strikes.
5. Store it somewhere padded so the tines stay true between sessions.

The instructions end where the listening begins. Trust your ear; it knows the way open.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this and the other forks in the chakra set?

Every fork in the line shares the same 8.5 inch format with a mallet; what changes is the pitch and the color, one for each of the seven centers. This green fork is tuned for the heart, at the tone often called OM. Choose the center your practice works with most, or build the set over time.

Do I need the full set of seven to start?

Not at all. A single fork is a complete tool, and many practitioners work with one center for months before adding another. If your practice leans on love, compassion, and connection, this is a natural first fork. The set matters only when you want full-spectrum sessions.

How do I strike a tuning fork without damaging it?

Use the included mallet or the heel of your palm, striking one tine about a third of the way down with a relaxed wrist. Never strike stone, metal, or table edges; hard surfaces can nick the tines and pull the fork off pitch. Gentle and consistent wins every time.

Is the pairing of frequencies with chakras an ancient practice?

The chakras come from Hindu and Buddhist tantra, and sound has accompanied that work for centuries. The specific frequencies are modern: Hans Cousto derived them from planetary cycles in the 1970s, and fork makers adopted his numbers. What the pitch offers is consistency, the same threshold tone at every session.

How do I cleanse and care for the fork?

Pass it through incense smoke or rest it in moonlight, the same as any altar tool, and restate your intention as you hold the stem. Keep it dry, wipe fingerprints with a soft cloth, and store it padded so nothing presses on the tines between uses.
