You’ve probably heard of healing frequencies or sound healing at some point in your life. You’ve probably stumbled across a video on Youtube for them, seen a playlist on Spotify, or maybe even have a friend that swears by sound healing for different aspects of their lives. But what exactly are healing frequencies and how do they work?
THE SCIENCE
The Solfeggio Frequencies are distinct tones of sound that promote certain areas of body and mind health. These frequencies are measured in Hertz (Hz), a unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Sound healing dates back to ancient history and is said to be used by both Western Christianity and Eastern Indian religions, as it’s chanted by the Gregorian Monks and used in ancient Indian Sanskrit chants. Until 1988, there was no scientific explanation as to why these specific frequencies promoted health in the human body and mind.
In 1988, Dr. Glen Rein, a biochemist, conducted an experiment in which he exposed different vials of DNA to 4 different types of music with different frequencies: Gregorian chants, Sanskrit chants, classical, and rock. He measured the rate of UV light absorption (an important function for healthy DNA) in the different vials and was able to determine the different effects each type of music (or more specifically different frequencies) has on human DNA.
He discovered that these frequencies can actually change the shape of our DNA strands, and the changed shape can affect our moods and feelings.
In a similar experiment, scientists found that when experiencing positive emotions (love, gratitude, etc.), our DNA strands relax and unwind, becoming longer, whereas when experiencing negative emotions (fear, anger, etc.), our DNA tightens and constricts, becoming shorter and switching off many of our DNA codes associated with health issues. The shortening and tightening of DNA strands can be reversed when positive feelings are felt again, lengthening the DNA strands and turning back on the previously shut-off DNA codes.
In the same way that emotions can change the shape of our DNA, certain frequencies can also change the shape of our DNA. This in turn makes us experience the emotions associated with the altered shape of our DNA, promoting mental and physical health as they coincide.
