Click to continue and get to know the Hungarian old habits that will help you live healthier.

With the Hungarian folk dancing our grandparents and great-grandparents expelled the tiredness resulting from the effort of incredibly hard work of harvesting. At these times they held harvesters' balls, and after harvest lasting from dawn to sunset, they amused all night. Almost every movement of the folk dance corresponds to one sign of the Zodiac, which helps bringing the energies into harmony and by snapping of fingers, with clapping of hands,flapping on legs they perfectly cleansed their chakras and meridians, though they were likely not aware of it, but tremendous energies were gained.

Would you think that our chakras, each of them, can be beautifully tuned by particular syllable sounds. If you are sick, or just really tired , dive into a tub of warm water so that you put in your head as well. Pour a few drops of any essential oil into the bath , and try to find the "do" sound - sing it - , then it will begin to resonate with your root chakra. If found, this can be felt strongly , then you can sing along the re, mi , fa, so, la , ti sounds. With this we are able to clean, harmonize and activate all our chakras. Our healing will just happen. Actually, the Hungarian folksong stores , and singing them came up with a chakra harmonization.
