What Is “Frequency Healing?”

Frequency healing or sound healing helps soothe the body and mind into a sound state. It’s a practice used by monks in Gregorian times during meditation. It’s practiced using what’s known as sound baths or total immersion in the healing frequencies. You can create these healing healing sound baths using sound bowls and tuning forks. Gongs, chimes, and even chanting are also used.

While study about it’s efficacy is still underway, sound healing is being used by therapists and physicians to help patients reduce anxiety, sleep better, ease pain, and strengthen the muscular-skeletal system. Sound healing is believed improve your mood, promote better brain health, memory and cognition, even reduce blood pressure.

How Does It Work?

​​A frequency is the rate-per-second of the vibration that makes what we know as “a sound wave.” These sound waves are measured in ‘hertz’ (or Hz). In frequency healing, there are two frequencies that resonate with the body: 432Hz and 444Hz. There are also other tunings – such as 396, 417, 528, 639, 741, 852 – which each have their own healing frequency. For example, 396Hz is said to help with grief.

The sound vibrations of these frequencies communicate with the vagus nerve which is connected to the eardrum. This helps move the body into a more relaxed, restful state.
