“When the heart sings HU, the soul remembers its wings.” ~Crystal Wind

HU is the ancient sacred sound that serves as a love song to God, a powerful key to inner peace, healing, and conscious Soul Travel—distinct from and often transcending ordinary astral travel.

Pronounced like the word “hue” and drawn out softly on the breath, **HU** has been used for thousands of years across spiritual traditions as a direct attunement to the Audible Life Stream—the creative Sound Current flowing through all existence. In Eckankar teachings and the integrated wisdom of Dr. Joshua David Stone preserved on CrystalWind.ca, HU is known as the Sound of Soul. It raises vibration, opens the heart to divine love, dissolves fear, and acts as both preparation and vehicle for exploring higher planes of God’s universe far beyond the astral realm of glamour and illusion.

Millions worldwide sing HU daily as part of their spiritual practice. It requires no special belief system, complex rituals, or prior experience—only sincere desire and an open heart. Whether chanted aloud, whispered, or silently, HU weaves through every aspect of life: the wind in the leaves, ocean waves, city traffic, laughter, and even the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. It is the sound behind all sounds, a universal name for God that anyone of any age or background can use to invite greater divine presence into daily life. Many who begin chanting HU report immediate shifts toward greater calm, emotional balance, and a subtle yet profound sense of being gently held by something far greater than themselves.

HU and Soul Travel: Beyond Astral Limits

Soul Travel, as described in Eckankar and Dr. Stone’s writings, is the conscious movement in the soul body—allowing lucid awareness, direct guidance from inner masters, and profound insights across multiple dimensions, including the Causal, Mental, Etheric, and pure Soul Plane. Everyone experiences a form of out-of-body travel during sleep, but conscious Soul Travel brings clarity, security, and connection to the heart of God.

In contrast, astral travel (or astral projection) typically occurs in the astral body and remains largely confined to the astral plane—a realm of emotions, glamour, and potential illusion that can sometimes involve fear or disorientation. Dr. Stone clearly explains: “If you travel in your astral body, the highest and only plane you can travel in is the astral plane… If you travel in soul body you can travel through the astral, mental, up into the soul plane itself.”

Soul Travel transcends astral or mind travel. It is a shift in consciousness that moves one closer to God, often without a dramatic sense of “leaving the body.” It carries a majesty and security found only in the arms of divine love. While astral experiences may feel exciting yet unstable, Soul Travel feels natural, loving, and purposeful—supported by the three keys emphasized by Dr. Stone: thought, light, and sound. HU provides the sacred sound component, helping practitioners ride the Sound Current like metaphysical surfing on waves of light and vibration.

“If you travel in your astral body, the highest and only plane you can travel in is the astral plane… If you travel in soul body you can travel through the astral, mental, up into the soul plane itself.”

Eckankar teachings note that Soul Travel is a bridge over the gulf between the human and the divine. It functions primarily in the lower worlds of matter, energy, space, and time—but serves as the most direct path to the true spiritual realms above. As awareness expands, the experience evolves beyond classic “out-of-body” sensations into deeper states of being, intuition, and direct knowing. Practitioners often return from these journeys with fresh perspectives on life challenges, creative inspiration, and a renewed sense of purpose that ripples positively into everyday relationships and decisions.

How to Chant HU: Simple Step-by-Step Practice

Chanting HU is remarkably easy and natural. Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without interruption. Close your eyes or keep them gently open—whichever feels right. Take a few deep breaths to relax your body and mind.

Offer a short, sincere prayer for protection and guidance to your soul, spiritual teacher, or the Ascended Masters. Gently place your attention at the spiritual eye—the point between and slightly above the eyebrows—without straining. This is the doorway to inner vision.

On the exhale, sing “Huuuuuu” in a long, soft, drawn-out tone, like a loving sigh directed toward God. Fill the sound with reverence and warm love. Inhale naturally, then repeat. Continue for 5 to 20 minutes or longer if desired. You may sing aloud, whisper softly, or chant silently within your mind—all carry equal power when infused with heartfelt intention. There is no “wrong” way; the vibration itself carries the intention when sung from the heart.

After chanting, remain still for a few moments. Look gently into the inner visual screen for Light and listen for subtle inner Sound. Many notice immediate feelings of peace, warmth, upliftment, or a sense of being held in divine love. Over time, regular practice harmonizes the emotional, mental, and physical bodies, dissolves fear, and attunes consciousness to higher currents. Some report spontaneous insights, vivid yet peaceful dreams, or gentle out-of-body sensations that feel safe and guided rather than abrupt.

Experiment with combining HU and visualization. While chanting, imagine yourself rising gently through the crown chakra or projecting with thought to a peaceful destination. Always travel consciously in the soul body for safety and elevation. Dr. Stone encouraged using HU alongside other sacred sounds from dimensional charts—such as the single note of a flute for the Soul Plane or humming tones for advanced realms—to carry awareness even higher. Start small: five minutes before bed can open doors to more lucid inner exploration over weeks and months.

Benefits and Safeguards for Deeper Practice

Practitioners worldwide report profound benefits from daily HU chanting: greater inner peace and calm, emotional healing, clearer dreams, spontaneous Soul Travel experiences, expanded awareness, and a deep sense of divine companionship. Some describe miraculous protection during challenging moments, instant mood shifts, reduced stress, and heightened intuition. One person shared how singing HU brought healing across past, present, and future lives in a single profound session. Others find it dissolves anxiety before important events or brings unexpected creative solutions during quiet contemplation.

For Soul Travel, always set strong intention and protection. Call upon trusted guides such as Rebazar Tarz or your inner teacher. Maintain calm, positive focus—love and surrender lift the soul, while fear or negativity can draw one toward lower planes. Travel in the soul body rather than the astral for security and access to higher realms. If challenges arise, simply call for help or return to the body by thinking your name or visualizing your physical form. These safeguards, drawn from Eckankar and Dr. Stone’s teachings, ensure the practice remains uplifting and empowering rather than unsettling.

Dr. Stone stressed that attitude and state of consciousness determine the journey’s quality. With consistent practice, Soul Travel becomes effortless and filled with wonder. Many use HU before sleep as a bridge to lucid inner adventures, bringing back insights for daily life and spiritual growth. The cumulative effect often manifests as greater compassion, clearer life direction, and a quiet confidence that stems from direct inner experience rather than external validation.

Why Embrace HU and Soul Travel Now?

In our fast-paced, distraction-filled world, HU offers an immediate, accessible return to essence. It requires nothing more than sincere desire and an open heart. Whether you seek personal healing, expanded awareness, service on inner planes, or gentle preparation for conscious transition, this timeless sound harmonizes your being and awakens the eternal traveler within.

As Dr. Stone and Eckankar teachings remind us, once the ability awakens through HU, Soul Travel becomes natural, effortless, and overflowing with divine love. Sing it often—during quiet moments, before sleep, or even silently throughout the day. Listen inwardly. Allow the living tone of HU to guide you home to the heart of God. In these times of rapid change and uncertainty, few practices offer such a gentle yet potent anchor to the eternal.

Begin tonight. Choose a quiet moment, breathe deeply, set your loving intention, and softly sing HU while gently focusing at the spiritual eye. Let the Sound of Soul carry you. Your soul already knows the melody—simply open your heart and sing.
