7 Minutes to Shift Your State: The Chakra Hum That Actually Works

Let’s be real: I don’t have an hour to sit cross-legged humming like a monk on a mountain.

But 7 minutes?
I can do 7 minutes.

Especially if those 7 minutes leave me feeling less anxious, more focused, and strangely floaty (in a good way).

So let me introduce you to a free tool that’s become part of my daily sanity ritual:
The 7-Minute Chakra Tune-Up, created by award-winning sound healer Jonathan Goldman, and generously offered on his site for anyone to use.

What the Hum?

This isn’t some full moon in a crystal cave situation (though, I’d do that too).
It’s a vocal sound healing practice using vowel sounds that resonate with your seven chakras, from the base of your spine to the top of your head.

The idea is simple:
Frequency + Intention = Healing

Translation: You make a sound + focus your mind = your body and energy system shift.

And don’t worry—no musical talent required. If you can talk, you can do this too.

How It Works

  • Hit play on the original track

  • Make the vowel sounds (or just listen if you’re not vibing with vocalising right now)

  • Let the hum do its thing across all 7 chakras for 7 minutes.

Each chakra gets about a minute, with three rounds of its matching vowel sound.
No chanting, no yoga-level flexibility. Just you, your voice, and the science of sound.

Science-Backed Benefits (Not Just Woo)

According to Jonathan Goldman, and backed by emerging sound research, here’s what’s going on physiologically:

  • 🫁 More oxygen to your cells

  • ❤️ Lowered blood pressure and heart rate

  • 🧘‍♀️ Reduced stress hormone levels

  • 💤 More melatonin (yay, sleep)

  • 💕 Oxytocin boost (aka the love/trust hormone)

  • 😌 Release of endorphins (your body’s natural “ahhhh”)

And that’s just from listening. If you actually sound along, the effects amplify.

My Experience: From Spirals to Stillness

I started doing this in the mornings when my brain felt like it was trying to host a TED Talk, a panic attack, and a to-do list meeting all at once.

It doesn’t magically erase my problems, but it does raise my vibration and turn the volume in my head down.
It helps me feel grounded.
Clearer.
A little more like the V2 version of myself I’m working toward.

I didn’t expect a bunch of humming to make such a difference. But here we are.

Part of the UnstuckAF Framework

This practice fits perfectly into the UnstuckAF method: Shift Your State.
Before we can rewrite our thoughts or build a bold new vision, we need to ground ourselves in the present.
This chakra hum is like a sonic reset button. It calms your body, clears your energy, and sets the tone for the rest of your day.
