Sound has very healing properties.
We all know that music has a deep effect on us. However, if we are talking about the healing side of sound we need to stop thinking in terms of entertainment. Pure frequencies have a variety of benefits on a real neurobiological level.
One of the primary purposes of sound therapy is to help ease many mental health conditions such as anxiety, stress, and depression.
Healing sound frequencies work by creating a steady rhythm or pitch that helps to change the brain waves and reach for a new neural pathways in our nervous system. Those activated pathways intrinsically connect us to a sense of calm and well being and improve our resilience to stress.
Because it increases and strengthens our ability to relax - an ability that many of us have lost - it connects us to our feelings that promote harmony, calm, peacefulness, and with practice - feeling of inner bliss - a natural internal joy.
It is one of the most easy and effective self-soothing techniques. Some people prefer a green sound - the sounds of nature - like rain, ocean waves or forest birds. Other people may prefer not to refer to any particular tones in nature or instruments but simply a steady sound that does not bring to mind any images.
Daniel Bowling, PhD, a neuroscientist from Stanford School of Medicine, had studied the biological foundations of music for more than a decade. He finalised his research by saying: Anyone who has ever felt moved by music should take it seriously and actively seek out ways in which music and sound can improve their condition.
Brain Waves
Our brain is constantly performing many processes including thinking, focus, memory, and much more. During these activities brain cells produce rhythms called brain waves.
When we go to bed and read for a few minutes before attempting sleep, we are likely to be in low beta. When we put the book down, turn off the lights and close our eyes, our brainwaves will descend to alpha and theta and finally, when we fall asleep, to delta.
Delta frequency (0.5 to 4 Hz),
Delta waves are high amplitude neural oscillations with a frequency between 0.5 and 4 hertz and are typically associated with brain activity when we sleep. They found to be helpful in soothing dementia.
Theta frequency (4-8 Hz)
Demonstrating promising results for treating anxiety. This brain state has shown the ability to promote a feeling of overall well-being among study participants.
Schumann frequency (7.8 Hz)
It correlates with our brain when it is in the 'zone' state. It it can benefit in an office setting.
Alpha frequency (8 to 12 Hz)
Our brain is producing alpha waves when we are in a restful yet awake state, when we are experiencing the “flow state”, a calm focus, creatively engaged in the present moment.
Beta frequency (12 to 30 Hz)
They are produced in an awaken state of mind and logical thinking. Have a stimulating effect which allows us to do everyday tasks.
Gamma frequency (30 to 100 Hz)
They mainly occur when you’re highly alert and conscious. High levels of gamma waves make us happier and more receptive and improve concentration and working memory.
Low levels of gamma waves may develop cognitive problems, lower attention span, and mental abilities. They can lead to learning disabilities and mental disorders.
All those above Gamma frequencies are said to have an extra positive influence on our nervous system. Humans can hear the frequencies between about 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.

The suggested listening time of the below frequencies is a minimum of 15 minutes a day. You can do it any time of the day, even while you are doing something, but the best experience is to sit down in a meditative state. Allow the sound to be immersed in you and harmonised from within.
Doing a quiet humming voice on your own to resonate with a particular frequency enhances its benefits.
110 Hz
While we can hear in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, the most essential sounds we pay attention to are in the range of the human voice. which is around 110-111. Many ancient and prehistoric temples were built to facilitate sounds in this frequency range.
EEG test results have shown this frequency activates the right hemisphere of the brain, responsible for the creative and intuitive aspects. It also calms the language centres of the brain, which lessens mental chatter and facilitates 'inner silence'. It helps to lower down the negative thought-loops.
A pilot study examined the effects of 110 Hz on the brain and found that listening to this frequency caused an increase in prefrontal lobe activity that may aid in emotional processing while promoting relaxation.
This frequency activates a self-restoration and regeneration mode of our nervous system. 110 - 111 Hz calms the amygdala - the main signaler of fight-flight-freeze automatic response.
'Angelic' frequencies:
They are usually refereed to the repeating digits, but all of the high frequencies have very high vibrations and angelic-like qualities of patience, harmony, compassion, higher understanding and perspective. It is difficult to pinpoint their meaning and benefits, and it is best to experience them on your own.
111 Hz
Well known in the sound therapy community as a frequency that facilitates cellular rejuvenation. It is also the frequency difference between each of the Solfeggio tones in order.
Associated with the production of endorphins, hormones that elevate the mood. It can increase feelings of well-being and empathy, improves focus and memory, enhances spiritual experiences, clarity and trust.
222 Hz
This frequency helps to bring balance, harmony, and peace, especially in relationships.
333 Hz
Associated with healing, guidance and spiritual growth, helps to connect with spiritual energies, ascended masters, higher inner wisdom.
It is said to recalibrate our DNA, opening to a new state of consciousness, cleanse and reprogram our mind, transforming us into a new person. It exposes us to a new way of life – from a higher point, more generous, kind, naturally loving, living in high vibrations.
It amplifies our thoughts and feelings, allows to express ourselves joyfully and positively in the world, while emanating and attracting happiness.
444 Hz
This frequency is associated with the angelic realm and is believed to help individuals connect with the energies of the angels and receive their divine guidance. It helps to turn our ideas into reality.
999 Hz
According to Tesla’s beliefs, 999 Hz is associated with spiritual awakening, divine connection, and transformation.
It is thought to help individuals connect with their inner wisdom, access higher states of consciousness, and facilitate personal growth and transformation.
OTTO frequencies
The most popular tuning forks are the Otto series. They derived their frequency from Earth, called the Schumann Resonance (SR), which, at its fundamental level, is 8 Hz (precisely 7.83 Hz).
Schumann Resonance is an electromagnetic resonance produced by lightning - thunderstorms activity in Earth's atmosphere, ranging from 3 Hz through 60 Hz. The resonance modes are spaced between 6.5 Hz intervals, attributed to the spherical geometry of the Earth atmosphere. To detect Schumann resonances special antennas are needed. 8 Hz and 16 Hz are not picked up by our ears. The first Otto frequency we can hear is 32 Hz - an octavised 8 Hz.
Why the name 'Otto'? Otto means “eight” in Italian. The number has been considered in many cultures auspicious, and signifies eternity, an eternally reproducing pattern. In German it is a male name meaning “ rich”, and the German physicist who discovered the Shumann Resonance was Winfried Otto Schumann.
Some derive the name from the osteophonic 'weighted' tuning forks, that make a wonderful resonance while placed upon any bone structure in the human body.
The most popular in osteophonic healing (osteo from Latin means bone) are a set of three:
Otto 32, Otto 64 and Otto 128
or
Otto 128, Otto 256 and Otto 512
Medical doctors use 128 Hz and 512 Hz tuning forks to test a patient's hearing.
OTTO Octave series:
0-1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512-1024-2048-4096-8192-16384-32768
128 Hz
This frequency is regarded as the Master Tuning for healing sound frequencies and one of the most common. It induces grounding, calming the senses, loosening and smoothing nervous, muscle and fascia tension, coming back to yourself, regaining strength, courage, confidence, safety and trust.
Within the Otto configuration it corresponds to the root of the scale, and in the physical body the areas below the navel and in the pelvis. It has strong emotional significance, and can be seen as a gift opening access to Natural Tuning. It brings the body into the natural basic vibration, a homeostasis.
Maria Renold wrote a whole book upon her research Of Intervals, Scales, Tones and the Concert Pitch C = 128 Hertz dedicated to this frequency. Rudolf Steiner called this frequency a prime note.
It is the standard pitch of universal music, the pure tuning model. It can create a mood that not only allows us to walk on this Earth in a more confident way but also allows us to tune into cosmic / spiritual dimensions.
Healing effect and benefits may include: reduction of pain in bones and muscles, balancing hormones, fluid flow, increased mobility and vitality.
Especially helpful on and around stiff or painful joints.
The combination with 256 Hz and 512 Hz creates a resonance that can break up stuck energy. This can be done on a person's biofield, moving slowly towards the body, from 2-3 metres, starting with lower 128 Hz around the pelvis region.
Use 256 Hz around the chest/heart region, and 512 Hz tuning fork around the head.
More about 128 Hz:
369 Hz
It is said, Nikola Tesla believed in the significance of the numbers 3, 6, 9, as being related to a 'universal vibrational frequency'.
By understanding the use of these numbers, we can unlock the secrets of life and tap into the pool of life's infinite energy and potential.
432 Hz
Some sound theorists and musicians claim that the 432 Hz tuning has better effects on the human body, than the acknowledged 440 Hz.
It promotes a state of relaxation and calmness, reduces mental fog and increases concentration. Others believe it can help attract luck, money, wealth and health. It is said to be the same as the vibrational frequency of the Earth, the Sun, and even our DNA.
It resonates inside our body, releases emotional blockages and expands our consciousness, allowing us to tune into the wisdom of the Universe.
For some listeners, the benefits of 432 Hz music go beyond an experience of physical relaxation and emotional well-being as it can alleviate chronic pain and other physical symptoms.
528 Hz
It reduces oxidative stress in brain tissue. Prolonged exposure to this sound frequency reduces anxiety and increases testosterone which promotes healthy action.
It can assist in internal healing. It stimulates the body on a cellular level encouraging regeneration and well being.
It is also known as a Love frequency. It can improve your mood, attract positive thinking and feeling, which resonates with higher vibrations.
636 Hz
Frequencies over 636 Hz resonate with internal feeling of well-being as they tap into the subconscious, evoking positive physiological, emotional and mental responses.
It slows down breathing and heart rate and lowers blood pressure. Deepens sense of connection to a larger whole, inspires reverence, awe and appreciation. Enhances inspiration and creativity. Fosters feelings of natural joy, meditation and stillness.
It also elevates the vibration of a room by decreasing stress mode and increasing serenity.
936 Hz
Associated with deeper healing and spiritual growth.
It is not a part of the traditional solfeggio frequencies but has gained attention among the proponents of sound healing and alternative therapies.
Often referred to as the Third Eye Chakra frequency, it is believed to stimulate and activate our intuition, insight, and spiritual awareness.
1074 Hz
The “Spiritual Frequency”
This high pitch frequency once again helps with spiritual growth and awareness, enhance intuition, and improve communication with higher consciousness.
1174 Hz
The “Balance Frequency”
A higher alternative of the 528 Hz frequency helps to balance energy centres in the body, promote mental clarity and alertness, and enhance creativity and productivity.
1152 Hz
Helpful for spiritual purification and to help us access higher spiritual realms.
It is said to help release negative thoughts and emotions, allowing us to see the world in a more positive light.
2172 Hz
Less known solfeggio frequency and it is related to spiritual enlightenment, transcendence and ascension.
Some sources suggest that this frequency helps in the spiritual awakening process, allowing us to connect with higher spiritual realms and to access a greater understanding of the universe.
4096 Hz
It completely clears the quartz crystals from any earlier programming and influences.
