Music is a universal language and something that every human being can connect to. Music can inspire us, it can bring the listener to any range of emotions with just a simple note or melody. It can lift us up, reduce stress, and have an overall calming effect. Perhaps that is why it is not surprising that music has been used by humans for centuries to aid in healing.
For generations, people have recognized that certain sound frequencies influence our subconscious, impacting both mental and physical well-being. Evidence of these frequencies existed as far back as early Biblical times and are believed to have been first introduced by Guido d’Arezzo, a Benedictine monk. They are most commonly associated with the Gregorian Chants dating back to the 9th and 10th centuries.
Originally there were 6 Solfeggio frequencies, which are as follows:
396 Hz: the first is thought to help liberate us from feelings of guilt and fear, which is arguably one of the biggest obstacles we face in life.
417 Hz: the second helps with the undoing of situations and facilitating change in our lives. It is said to alleviate the conscious and subconscious mind from traumatic past experiences.
528 Hz: the third is perhaps the most famous of the frequencies, because of its reputation for creating profound transformation and miracles. It has even been linked to the repair of human DNA, the most basic building blocks of our bodies and minds.
639 Hz: the fourth is said to improve our connection and relationships with the people around us. This includes healing strained relationships and creating new ones.
741 Hz: the fifth is connected to expression and solutions, helping us open up and share our gifts with the world more fully.
852 Hz: the sixth and final of the original notes, returns us to spiritual order, improving our access to the spiritual realm, our authentic self, and higher consciousness.
Dr. Joseph Puleo was credited with the rediscovery of the Solfeggio frequencies in the 1970’s. Dr. Puleo unearthed three new frequencies in the scale during his research:
174 Hz: Associated with pain reduction and anesthetic properties.
285 Hz: Associated with cellular repair (tissue restoration), body regeneration and better immunity. In addition, many people find 285 Hz uplifting, helping with the release of burdensome emotions like guilt and jealousy. It fosters higher consciousness, leaving you refreshed.
963 Hz: Associated with spiritually awakening and connecting to the “oneness” of the universe.
Science is still catching up to understanding how sound heals, but the current research is promising. There are many different theories that attempt to explain why sound experiences can be linked with deep relaxation and physical pain relief.
