Solfeggio Frequencies: Healing with “The Heart Beat of the Earth" Schumann Resonance
Sound healing is an ancient practice that spans cultures. Image of traditional Tibetan sound healing bowls.
Imagine you could accelerate cellular regeneration, emotional regulation and access higher levels of consciousness by simply… listening? Through a process known as scientific tuning, certain sounds have been shown to achieve just that, and more.
They are called Solfeggio frequencies, and they are proven to be more beneficial to the body and mind because they exist in harmony with the heartbeat of the Earth, in turn reflecting the same frequencies we experience throughout our various brainwave states. By listening to these frequencies, our cells begin to match their vibrations, allowing them to work in harmony with nature and the Universe. In essence, we are returned to our original, most optimal state of existence, removing energetic blockages to healing physically and psychologically.
The Discovery of Solfeggio Frequencies: History and Science of Sound Healing
Through the discovery of a phenomena known as scientific tuning, certain sounds have been clinically proven to relieve stress, pain, and anxiety by reducing heart rate and cortisol production in as little as three minutes. They are called Solfeggio frequencies, which our brainwaves can synchronize with, in turn creating harmony throughout the body. By listening to these frequencies, we begin to harmonize with “the heartbeat of the Earth”, also known as the Schumann Resonance, allowing our bodily systems to work in harmony with the rhythm of nature and the Universe.
Solfeggio frequencies are healing sounds that harmonize with the electromagnetic resonances between the Earth and the ionosphere, where the Earth’s atmosphere meets outer space. These frequencies are aligned with the “Schumann resonance” vibration of the Earth, named after the physicist who first measured electromagnetic discharges from lightning and classified the waves he discovered as comparable to “the Earth’s heartbeat”, to the tune of approximately 8 Hz. Solfeggio frequencies are tones that vibrate in harmony with the low Schumann Resonance of the Earth.
Building on Winnfried Otto Shumann’s work, Herbert Koenig discovered these resonances matched the EEG recordings of five brainwave states, delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma. These brainwave states are active during a range of biologically transformative human experiences, like learning, healing, sleeping and creating.
Further research has confirmed the remarkable similarities between Solfeggio frequencies and human brain activity, suggesting that the Schumann Resonance provides synchronization for higher brain function. Solfeggio frequencies include but are not limited to six different tones that harmonize with the Schumann Resonance, which in turn can activate the corresponding brainwave state, allowing us to more efficiently synchronize with their biological transformative functions.

The Healing Benefits of Solfeggio Frequencies
The following list is a review of the nine primary Solfeggio frequencies commonly used across diverse mental, spiritual and healing practices.
174 Hz - The Frequency of Relief:
The 174 Hz frequency can help to relieve us from pain and tension by relaxing the muscles, slowing our breath, and reducing the heart rate.
285 Hz - The Auric Frequency:
The 285 Hz frequency is a favourite tone of energy healers, and has been shown to reduce the chronic pain in fibromyalgia patients, rheumatoid arthritis, menstrual pain, and more.
396 Hz - The Frequency of Liberation:
Music tuned to 369 Hz frequency helps to remove self-limiting beliefs, subconscious fears, and rewire subconscious programming, thus eliminating feelings of guilt, worry, and anxiety.
432 Hz - The Peace Frequency:
432 Hz frequency has been the traditional tuning frequency of many ancient instruments. Today, research has shown 432 Hz slows down heart rates and helps induce a feeling of peace and greater overall well-being.
528 Hz - The Healing Frequency:
The science on the reparative effects of the 528 Hz frequency is growing, and recent research suggests that it aids the healing and repairing of the body in several ways. Music tuned to the frequency of 528 Hz has been shown to significantly reduce stress in the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems, reduce the toxic effects of alcohol on cells, and even increase cell life spans by about 20%.
639 Hz - The Love Frequency:
The 639 Hz frequency is known to help balance emotions, elevate mood and bring harmony to our personal relationships by promoting communication and a positive mindset.
741 Hz - The Creative Frequency:
Music tuned to the 741 Hz frequency enhances creativity, problem-solving capabilities and also cleanses the body and spirit. It is said to promote self-confidence and encourage us to speak our truths.
852 Hz - The Higher Self Frequency:
852 Hz frequency is believed to help replace negative thoughts with positive ones, and is used to access greater clarity and communication from Higher versions of selves and the collective consciousness.
963 Hz - Frequency of the Gods:
936 Hz frequency is known as “the frequency of the Gods”, aiding in the pursuit of enlightenment. This high vibrational state is said to activate the pineal gland and give us greater access to cosmic energy.
