Sound Healing and Solfeggio Frequencies

13 September 2021

Sound healing refers to the use of vibrations created by sound to relax the body and mind. For centuries, we have recognized the overwhelming effect that sound can have on us. Particular frequencies of sound are used in many therapies to alter brainwaves and promote healing. Sound healing has been used throughout history to treat anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, autism, dementia, and disorders of the nervous system and has also been known to increase productivity and boost morale.

Humans have a natural instinct for sound therapy. Just think about how turning on your favorite song has the ability to increase your happiness and overall mood. As sound vibrations alter your brainwaves, the frequency of the sound synchronizes and activates stress-relieving responses in the body. Today, frequencies used in sound healing can take on numerous forms like music and voice or instruments like tuning forks and gongs. Acoustic therapies are becoming increasingly popular as a way to promote self-healing within the body, clear energetic blockages, and facilitate healing on a physical and mental level.

Other benefits of sound healing include:

Lower stress levels
Fewer mood swings
Lower blood pressure
Lower cholesterol
Improved sleep

Solfeggio Frequencies

Solfeggio frequencies refer to particular tones that help promote several aspects of body and mind health. Solfeggio frequencies date back in history as a part of sacred music and chants used to impact spiritual blessings in Western Christianity and Eastern Indian religions. In 1970, solfeggio frequencies were re-discovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo, who mathematically identified measurable tones that affect the conscious and subconscious mind in order to stimulate healing and promote vitality. Each solfeggio tone is responsible for balancing energy and keeping the mind, body, and spirit in perfect harmony. Many scientists have since uncovered further evidence supporting the positive effects these frequencies have on the human body.

Here are a few of the main solfeggio frequencies and their benefits:

The 174 Hz:

Relaxes muscles and relieves tension and pain through quiet meditation.
The 285 Hz:

Regulates safety, energy, instinct, and survival and linked to Chakra, the body’s most fundamental and primal energy center at the base of your spine.
The 396 Hz:

Liberates one from fear and guilt.
The 417 Hz:

Releases negativity and past trauma while facilitating change and undoing situations.
The 528 Hz:

Cleanses from diseases and sickness and amplifies clarity, peace, and DNA healing through toning and meditation.
The 639 Hz:

Assists in healing relationships and reconnecting as you meditate on yourself, your life, and those who you value and love.
The 741 Hz:

Assists in problem solving and improves emotional stability by allowing the mind to expand and fill with new ways of self-expression.
The 852 Hz:

Creates harmony with the universe and yourself, these frequencies will return you to a spiritual order.
The 963 Hz:

Creates room for oneness, unity and enlightenment, allowing for pure and bright visions and thoughts.

On average, the human body has a natural frequency of 65 to 75 Hz, meaning that we are generating electromagnetic energy or sound even when we are standing still. Being exposed to higher frequencies like in sound therapy can help eliminate negative thought and retrain neural circuits. While sound healing is in the early stages of gaining scientific credibility, the concept has been around for generations. Sound healing is an evolving art that will continue to take part in the human healing process for centuries to come.
