Have you ever been flipping through one of your music playlists and felt your mood switch when certain songs came on? Or maybe you were lying down after a nice, long yoga session and the sounds of the flutes and singing bowls playing in the background carried you into an ethereal calmness?
The reason you felt so good is likely because of the healing properties of sound! Music is such an eminent part of our culture and invokes a deep sense of pleasure within people. Although many of us listen to music daily, we rarely recognize the rich, embedded power these melodies carry. Sound has a great strength that can be used as a healing modality!
How can sound be used to heal?
For thousands of years, sound has been used in conjunction with meditation to cure ailments that plague the human body. Some sound tools can include singing bowls, gongs or tuning forks. The vibrations and frequencies of different sounds alter your brainwaves into a more relaxed state. In this state, your body can repair itself.
Sound healing has been shown to improve depression, reduce stress and shift energy. It has even been proven to help cure disease. In a study published by the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, it was proved that those who experienced sound meditation were happier, more energetic and less anxious than those who didn’t. What’s most important to note about this is that when your body is under a lot of stress, it is unable to carry out functions normally. Chronic stress affects every system of the body. Sound helps move the body into the parasympathetic nervous system response, thus reducing stress.
What are the Solfeggio Frequencies?
The Solfeggio Frequencies are tones that are part of an ancient six-tone scale, which were originally used in ancient Gregorian chanting meditation. For a long time, these beautiful sounds were forgotten and “lost”. In the 1970s, they were rediscovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo. He believed that these sounds were incredibly powerful. Each tone has its own unique property and playing them in harmony can alter and heal the mind and body.

How do they help reprogram the brain?

The Solfeggio Frequencies align with the patterns of the universe. When they are played, they access the patterns embedded in our DNA structure, which restructure and repair us. It’s kind of like plugging in a code. When we play these frequencies through headphones or speakers, they are clicking into their place.
