Chui is related to the kidney and the urinary bladder, its external sense
organ is the ear and it emotion is fear. Xi regulates the triple warmer. The
vibration of the six sounds clears the organs of stagnant energy and
provides each organ with sufficient energy to optimize it functions and
control its emotion and physical ailments. For example, some teachers
suggest visualizations to accompany the sounds. Also, some of the
teachers below (Cohen, Davis, and Reid) provide suggested movements to
perform while making the sounds.
The following table lists the sounds as explained by several teachers. The
account given here is somewhat simplified. Six Healing Sounds
The best known use of sound in Taoist practice appears to be the Six Healing
Sounds, also known as the Six-Syllable Secret or the Six Basic Soundless Sounds
for Health. Kenneth Cohen says the practice is attributed to a six-century
Buddhist hermit. Craig Reid quotes a fifth century description of the system by a
famous physician, Tao Hung-jing (perhaps the same as Cohen's hermit):
One should take air in through the nose and let it out slowly through
the mouth... There is one way of drawing breath in and six ways of
expelling breath out. The six ways of expelling breath are
represented by the syllables hsü, her, hoo, sss, chway, shee. The six
ways of exhalation can cure illness: to expel heat, one uses chway; to
expel cold, one uses hoo; to relieve tension, use shee; to release
anger, use her; to display malaise, use hsü; and to regain equilibrium,
use sss.
The benefits described are thus more physical than spiritual per se, but to the
extent that the Taoist tradition values balance and physical health, they could
perhaps be considered a foundational practice for Taoist students. In comparison
to Indian yoga techniques, the six healing sounds could be said to be more
similar to pranayama than to mantra.
In addition to the benefits listed previously, each sound is associated with an
organ (sometimes more than one) and with a phase from the Five Phases system
of Chinese metaphysics. Ni Hua-Ching states: "Each of the six vibrations has a
psychic influence on its corresponding organ sphere which prompts the expulsion
of impurities from the sphere and its manifestations, and the gathering of fresh
energy into each system."
Although a number of different modern masters teach the six sounds technique,
there are differences, both small and large, in the sounds that they describe:
The pronunciation of the sounds varies. Most of the apparent differences seem to
arise from the difficulty of representing these sounds phonetically in print.
Comparing the descriptions given by different teachers can help give you insight
into the correct production of the sound. However, the sound for the kidneys
really does vary significantly, and is given by different teachers as Foo, Chway,
or Chrroooeee.
The degree of vocalization varies. In many cases, the sounds are apparently
just the sound of your breath exhaling, with such variations as can be caused by
different positions of the tongue, lips, and teeth. However, some teachers
pronounce some of the sounds as if they include a vowel, so the vocal cords in
your throat are actively vibrating. Sat Chuen Hon vocalizes each of the sounds,
which greatly shortens the consonant part of the sound the emphasizes the
