Sound has been a tool for promoting the physical and emotional health of the body for as long as history can account for, deeply rooted in ancient cultures and civilizations.
Chanting and mantra recitation has been part of Hindu spirituality and the healing power of yoga for thousands of years. Given the recent interest in mind-body medicine, it’s not surprising that this ancient tradition is experiencing a modern-day renaissance.
Many experts believe that healing with frequencies is at the forefront of modern healing techniques. They predict that, much like yoga and meditation, it will soon become mainstream. In fact, you might already be using sound healing in your daily life. According to a survey by Prevention magazine, three out of four respondents said they listen to music to ease tension and stress. Among those, 82 percent reported significant relief from their stress.
How Healing Frequencies Evolved
In the early 11th century, an Italian Benedictine monk named Guido of Arezzo sought ways to teach melodies and harmonies to monastic choirs. He developed a method called “solfeggio,” which comes from the word “solfège,” a notation system used for teaching pitch and sight singing.
In 1988, biochemist Glen Rein, Ph.D., converted and recorded Solfeggio scale Gregorian chants into scalar audio waves. This sparked interest in the healing potential of Solfeggio frequencies.
Below is a list of the Solfeggio frequencies.
174Hz – Pain and Stress Relief Frequency
174Hz is the lowest tone on the Solfeggio Frequency scale. It has a positive impact on our inner energy and physical body, influencing our internal organs on a cellular level to relieve pain and stress.
285Hz – Healing and Regeneration Frequency
285Hz helps heal tissues and restore them to a healthy state by sending signals to repair damaged organs and tissues. It speeds up the healing of burns, fractures, sprains, cuts, and other injuries, and also boosts the immune system.
396Hz – Liberating Frequency
Negative feelings can prevent us from reaching our full potential. The 396Hz frequency helps eliminate feelings of fear and guilt, breaking down defense mechanisms and boosting self-confidence.
417Hz – Energizing Frequency
When facing problems or stress, we may experience negative emotions. The 417Hz frequency removes this negative energy, encouraging cells and the body to feel more energized.
528Hz – DNA Repair Frequency
528Hz is the most well-known of the Solfeggio frequencies. It aids in repairing human DNA and maintaining its optimal state, and it can bring about transformation and miracles in our lives.
639Hz – Connecting Frequency
639Hz helps resolve relationship issues with friends and family. It promotes understanding, tolerance, appreciation, and love, helping the body and soul adapt to their environment.
741Hz – Cleansing Frequency
741Hz cleanses and detoxifies cells and organs, encourages healthier eating habits, and removes electromagnetic radiation from cells. This frequency promotes a pure, stable, and spiritual life.
852Hz – Awakening Frequency
852Hz raises awareness and restores mental order. It opens the mind for spiritual communication and enables cells to transform into higher energy systems.
963Hz – Light and Spirit Frequency
963Hz helps heal the body, mind, and soul, and is linked to stimulating the pineal gland or Third Eye. It regulates consciousness, coordinates motor functions, helps achieve Oneness, and facilitates direct experiences with spiritual energies.
Bonus: 432Hz – Miracle Tone
432Hz is a famous frequency, often debated as a Solfeggio frequency. It promotes a sense of well-being and inner peace, helping listeners achieve calmness and relaxation. It naturally relieves body tension and mind stress, harmonizing body and consciousness with nature.
Therapeutic Effects
According to a 2006 article in Anti-Aging Medical News, pulsed frequencies had a positive impact on osteoporosis. Additionally, a Japanese study published in 2018 examined the stress-reducing effect of 528 Hz on the endocrine system, finding that 528 Hz music significantly reduces stress even after just five minutes of exposure.
Advances in brain imaging technology have shown that different circuits of the brain oscillate at preferred frequencies, providing further evidence of the potential impact of healing frequencies.
How Does Frequency Healing Work?
Frequency healing synchronizes brain waves to achieve deep relaxation, helping to restore the natural vibratory frequencies of our body’s cells. This process, known as sound healing, can clear energetic blockages, facilitating physical and mental healing.
Resonance, the frequency at which an object naturally vibrates, is central to this method. Each part of our body has its own natural resonance. Frequency vibrational medicine is based on the idea that health issues arise when these natural resonances fall out of tune due to stress, illness, or environmental factors.
To address these issues, you can either:
- Break Up Wayward Frequencies: Using “destructive resonance” to disrupt harmful frequencies.
- Restore Natural Harmony: Resonating the body’s frequencies back to their natural state.
Unlike the highly focused and fast vibrations of ultrasound (used in hospitals to break up kidney stones and monitor fetal health), sound healing works gently but effectively to return the body’s vibrations to their natural states.
In her article “Sound Healing With Tibetan Bowls,” first published by the Holistic Health Network, Mandle writes that her clients have experienced benefits such as:
- Relief from pain and discomfort
- Clearing of sinuses
- Shifting out of depression
- Improved sleep
- Revitalization and clarity
- Feeling of well-being
- Greater connectedness
- Deep personal transformation
Ultrasound
Ultrasounds are sound waves with frequencies higher than what humans can hear. They have the same physical properties as normal sound, but we cannot hear them. This hearing limit varies between individuals and is around 20 kilohertz (20,000 hertz) for healthy young adults. Ultrasound devices operate at frequencies ranging from 20 kHz to several gigahertz.
Sound travels better in water and solids than in air. Since our bodies are 70% water and 30% solid, ultrasound can effectively spread throughout the entire body.
Spooky2 Ultrasonic is safe for those with pacemakers and other electronic implants.
