Nāda means sound or flow in Sanskrit. Nāda Yoga is based on the premise that the entire cosmos and all that exists therin, including humans, are made up of vibrations, called nada. This concept maintains that it is the energy of vibrations, which make the particles of matter and form the building blocks of the cosmos.

According to this tradition, these vibrations are classified into two types, silent vibrations of the inner self (anahata), and sound / music (ahata), both of which carry a spiritual weight more meaningful, respectively, than what sensory properties normally provide. They are considered to play a potential medium/intermediary role to achieve a deeper unity with both the outer and inner cosmos.

Nāda yoga's use of vibrations and resonances are also used to pursue palliative effects on various problematic psychological, physical and spiritual conditions. It is also employed to raise the level of awareness of the energy centres known as chakras.
