The Solfeggio Frequencies

Sound is one of the purest forms of energy in existence. Sound inspires us, uplifts us, helps us to communicate, express ourselves, and even heal at a deep level.

Have you ever stopped to consider how amazing it is that everything  around you is fundamentally composed of energy that vibrates at different frequencies? Thanks to science, we know that the denser an object is the lower its vibration is, and the lighter something is the higher its vibration is.

Vibration also corresponds to emotions. When we identify with emotions such as anger, hatred, jealousy, guilt, paranoia, and self-loathing, we actually lower our vibration. On the other hand, when we stop identifying with these emotions and instead see them simply as energy fluctuating within us, we begin to experience “high vibration” states such as love, peace, gratitude, creativity, and self-fulfillment.

It’s important here to remember that there’s nothing wrong with feeling any type of emotion, including uncomfortable ones. Unfortunately, many new age writers use the term “low vibration” to condemn and therefore spiritually bypass emotions such as anger or grief. Ironically, condemning these emotions actually generates more fear and resistance within the psyche, which further solidifies a “low vibrational” state of being.

While the best way to experience high vibration states such as love and bliss is to stop identifying and attaching to thoughts and emotions, there are helpful catalysts out there which help to center your energy. One of these catalysts is known as the Solfeggio Frequencies.

The Solfeggio Frequencies are a series of electromagnetic musical tones that the Gregorian Monks were said to use when they chanted in holy meditation. Rediscovered in 1974 by Dr. Joseph Puleo, the Solfeggio Frequencies are said to deeply penetrate the conscious and subconscious mind, stimulating inner healing. Dr. Puleo was intuitively led to rediscover these healing frequencies in the ‘Book of Numbers’ in the Hebrew Bible. By using a numerological technique to decipher the repeating codes he rediscovered the Solfeggio Frequencies.

Solfeggio frequencies refer to specific tones of sound that help with and promote various aspects of body, mind and spiritual healing. These frequencies date back to ancient history and said to be the fundamental sounds chanted by the Gregorian Monks.

In 1998, Dr. Glen Rein of the Quantum Biology Research Lab in New York performed experiments with in vitro DNA, exposing similar DNA vials to four kinds of music with different frequencies – Gregorian chants, Sanskrit chants, classical, and rock. By measuring the rate of UV light absorption, an essential function of healthy DNA, Rein was able to assess the effects of each type of music. The Gregorian and Sanskrit chants had the most positive, healing. Rein’s research supported the theory that sound frequencies do produce effects, on health and well-being. The Solfeggio frequencies have such positive effects because they resonate in harmony with the Schumann resonance. Physicist, inventor, and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla once said, “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would hold a key to the universe.” Interestingly, these three numbers form the root vibration of the Solfeggio Frequencies.

These are the Solfeggio Frequencies:

UT – 396 Hz – transforming grief into joy and guilt into forgiveness

RE – 417 Hz – clears negativity and removes subconscious blockages

MI – 528 Hz – stimulates love, restores equilibrium, repairs DNA

FA – 639 Hz – strengthens relationships, family, and community unity

SOL – 741 Hz – physically cleanses the body from all types of toxins

LA – 852 Hz – awakens intuition and helps you return to spiritual balance

TE - 963 Hz – known as the ‘frequency of the Gods’. It creates room for oneness with the spiritual world.

Each of the syllables that describe the Solfeggio Frequencies were taken from the first stanza of the medieval hymn to St. John the Baptist:

Ut queant laxis Resonare fibris

Mira gestorum Famuli tuorum

Solve polluti Labii reatum

Sancte Iohannes

The literal translation from Latin is: “So that your servants may, with loosened voices, resound the wonders of your deeds, clean the guilt from our stained lips, O Saint John.”

The Solfeggio Frequencies were said to be used in over 150 Gregorian chants, and are said to increasingly raise your vibration when listened to. Each Solfeggio tone helps to peel back layers of negativity and energy blockages, helping you to experience emotional and spiritual release.

Many people describe listening to these tones as calming, inspiring, cleansing, and even revelatory in that they help us to experience clarity and understanding about the problems in our lives. Others who listen to the Solfeggio Frequencies may experience headaches or even repressed emotions like anger rise to the surface in response to the mismatch of vibration. In other words, these sound healing frequencies may have a “purging” effect on your energy field, which might make you feel a bit queasy! On the other hand, you might react to these sounds extremely well, so please do listen and experiment.

The 396 Hz Solfeggio Frequency helps those who struggle with feelings such as guilt, fear, and grief. This tone is highly grounding and cleansing.

Called the ‘love frequency’, 528 Hz is associated with blessings. This frequency is called the miracle note. This sound vibration is also said to be central to creation and is thought to restore inner equilibrium, increase awareness, repair DNA, and stimulate transformation. It heals cells by relieving tension for the good of the neurologic system. The 528 Hz frequency is one of the most powerful frequencies with profound effects. This frequency can activate imagination, intention and intuition.

This sound vibration is also said to be useful when trying to solve problems as it will increase mental clarity. If you’re struggling with chronic aches and pains, this frequency is another form of musical healing. This frequency cleanses infection, dissolve toxins and helps provide mental clarity and help with chronic pain. This frequency also activates intuition and problem solving.

It awakens intuition by activating the pineal gland, raising positive energy and vibrations that help us to connect to Source. 963 Hz is known as the ‘frequency of the Gods’, creating room for oneness and unity with the spiritual world.

When listening to the above Solfeggio Frequencies, it helps to pay mindful attention to your body and any emotions that arise within you. How do you feel? What thoughts or repressed urges (if any) rise to the surface? Which sounds make you feel light and which ones disturb you?

Close your eyes if it helps you to concentrate. You might also like to listen to these frequencies with headphones on for a more intense experience.

Remember that true healing and transformation is about ceasing to identify and attach to your thoughts and feelings. In this sense, Solfeggio Frequencies are excellent catalysts and facilitators of mindful and awakened consciousness.
