Solfeggio frequencies is an ancient musical scale based on the Solfege scale invented in the 11th century monk, Guido D’Arezzo, and were rediscovered in the 1970s by Dr Joseph Pulco. According to him, these frequencies can aid healing and restore balance in the body.
The Science
A 1988 study into the effect of sound waves on the human body showed that, after being exposed to hour different music genres (Sanskrit mantras, Gregorian chants, Classical and Rock music), the UV light absorption – a critical function of healthy DNA – experienced by a person’s DNA was directly affected by the sound waves.
Gregorian chants and Sanskrit mantras increased UV light absorption between 5 to 9 percent, promoting DNA repair.
Classical music increased UV absorption by small amounts and rock music decreased UV light absorption, actually damaging DNA.
Each Solfeggio frequency corresponds to a specific sound wave that has a unique effect on a person’s wellbeing:
174 Hz – Relieves pain and stress
396 Hz – Liberates from guilt and fear
417 Hz – Undoing situations and facilitating change
528 Hz – Transformation and miracles
639 Hz – Connecting relationships
741 Hz – Awakening intuition
852 Hz – Returning to spiritual order
963 Hz – Divine consciousness and enlightenment.
Another study by Sonya Joseph for the American College of Healthcare Sciences examined the effectiveness of sound healing, specifically the use of music therapy, electromagnetic sound frequencies, and Solfeggio sound science, in healing physical, generational and emotional trauma.
The study concluded that sound healing can be used successfully as therapy for PTSD, anxiety and physical illness. The study also found that the use of Solfeggio frequencies can be an effective tool for healing various ailments, such as depression and reducing pain.
How it works
the human body comprises of various systems operating at different frequencies. For example, the heart, lungs and brain each operate at unique frequencies and when we are in a state of balance, the body experiences a state of healthy wellbeing. When specific frequencies are introduced to the body via sound, they are believed to resonate with different parts of the body to promote healing, relaxation and spiritual wellbeing.
How to use Solfeggio frequencies
Solfeggio frequencies are best used during moments of meditation. Pick a preferred playlist of Spotify or YouTube and press play. If you work from home, one way to enjoy the benefits of healing frequencies is to play a track in the background as you work, or overnight on low while you sleep.
