Sound healing has quickly become an emerging wellness trend, using frequencies to energize both body and mind. Typically combined with meditation, this ancient practice provides a soothing sonic embrace to calm nerves and promote equilibrium.
Sound frequency therapy can increase low brainwave frequencies that are lacking among individuals suffering from co-occurring disorders, such as addiction and depression. This therapy may help to alleviate stress, anxiety and mood disturbance while simultaneously improving sleep quality.
Improved Blood Circulation
Sound waves and vibrations can be used to induce tissue resonance – an innocuous yet safe process within our bodies that supports healing by prompting an array of physiological responses that promote healing, restore homeostasis and promote overall homeostasis.
Research shows that rhythm and sound play an integral part in human lives, as evidenced by numerous clinical trials. Our brains actually resonate with certain frequencies; when combined with soothing music or meditation sessions, this can produce powerful relaxation experiences that benefit all aspects of health and wellbeing.
Frequency healing, commonly referred to as sound therapy or “vibrational healing,” has been shown to effectively relieve symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, depression and chronic pain. Benefits associated with sound-based vagus nerve stimulation include improved circulation and reduced cortisol levels; both can have profoundly positive impacts on our mental health and overall well-being.
Frequency healing often causes confusion among its practitioners. Some may believe that certain frequencies, like 432 Hz, possess special powers or that these frequency can be heard with tuning forks; however, numerology and association of Solfeggio frequencies with sacred geometry or Fibonacci sequence are unscientific practices with no scientific basis whatsoever.
As our bodies vibrate at specific frequencies, they may also resonate with other frequencies simultaneously. If you strike one tuning fork and bring another fork that vibrates at its same frequency near it, they will both start to resonate together – just as our natural frequency of 7.83Hz resonates with other frequencies in our environment.
Acoustic Wave Therapy, the type of sound therapy I practice, uses sound waves to break down calcium and fat buildup in our arteries, widen arteries, improve blood flow and promote healthy cell growth – therefore serving to widen them, increase circulation and promote cell health for improved results. Acoustic wave therapy has proven highly successful for treating many conditions from muscle injuries to erectile dysfunction.
Reduced Stress
At a sound healing session, you’ll experience vibrations that resonate throughout your body to promote both physical and emotional wellness. Client feedback consistently highlights the transformative power of frequency healing solutions such as vagus nerve stimulation therapy.
Sonic healing is an ancient art gaining increasing attention among millennials searching for alternative means of alleviating stress and improving health. Employing sound frequencies to balance the body’s energy fields and promote healing on a cellular level, sonic healing involves immersing oneself in a meditative atmosphere with soothing sounds like singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks that stimulate you while you lie down to relax into its vibrations.
Sound healing frequencies differ from traditional music in that their vibrations are designed to align with human bodies. By stimulating your parasympathetic nervous system, which slows heart rate and increases blood flow to your brain, sound frequencies can help lower stress and anxiety levels while opening up blood vessels through vasodilation (an effect called vasodilation).
Sound therapy has been proven to effectively relieve pain, alleviate depression and promote overall mental health. Furthermore, it encourages self-healing as well as release of lower vibrations or stagnant energies that have built up within our bodies.
Audio frequency therapy not only has physical benefits, but can also trigger the relaxation response to address chronic stress symptoms like digestive disorders, cardiovascular disease and endocrine conditions. The relaxation response can help maintain a healthy weight by combatting high blood pressure and improving sleep quality – not to mention improving your quality of life overall!
According to Soaak’s founder, frequency healing is becoming more popular with millennials because its scientific foundation and support from research prove its efficacy. She notes that people have long used sound to alter their state of mind – many ancient civilizations even relied upon sound for therapeutic and healing purposes!
Though the benefits of frequency healing may seem miraculous, claims often lack scientific rigor and historical support. For instance, some articles claim that 528 Hz sound frequency can “repair DNA,” however this claim relies heavily on pseudoscientific interpretations of numerology and biblical texts rather than biochemical processes which cannot be achieved solely through listening to music or sounds.
Increased Energy
Sound frequencies have the power to both stimulate and balance our energy centers, making meditation even more effective in attaining an equilibrium between body and mind. Sound frequency therapy has quickly gained in popularity among millennials looking for holistic methods of improving both their mental and physical well-being.
Sound therapy (also referred to as audio frequency healing or vibrational therapy) uses sound frequencies and instruments to promote wellness; also known as audio frequency healing or vibrational therapy. By listening to sounds that produce vibrational waves that induce deep states of relaxation, sound therapy may help alleviate anxiety, stress and depression while simultaneously improving sleep patterns, meditation practices and overall health and wellness.
There are various techniques that use various sound frequencies to promote health and wellbeing, from Aboriginal practices such as using didgeridoos or chanting in yoga traditions, all the way up to modern tuning forks that emit specific sound frequencies to treat specific conditions. These ancient practices are now being integrated with modern technologies like tuning forks that emit specific frequencies tailored to target conditions more effectively.
Although there is little scientific proof supporting frequency healing sounds, many believe that specific frequencies can have numerous health benefits for our bodies. Solfeggio frequencies, consisting of six tones, have long been associated with spiritual healing and an inner connection to divinity; they were discovered by Joseph Puleo in the 1970s although some believe they were already used by ancient civilizations.
No matter the sound source – singing bowls, brain entrainment or binaural beats – has been found to alter brain waves and induce a meditative state. This has proven effective at relieving stress, pain and emotional distress while simultaneously improving mood and increasing focus.
Outside of improving mood and relaxation, certain frequencies have also been found to boost blood circulation. This effect is caused by vibrations generated by sound waves; they cause blood capillaries to expand and improve flow through vasodilation; thus helping lower risk factors for high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and chronic pain conditions.
Better Sleep
Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of audio frequency therapy for improving sleep. Binaural Beat Frequencies (BBFs) are auditory tones which when heard through headphones can manipulate brainwave activity and alter your state of consciousness, including making you sleepy or awake. BBFs can be created easily using popular audio programs like Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music or the App Store – increasing their popularity further due to online articles citing them as beneficial. It’s crucial that these claims be substantiated with scientific data in order to protect public health.
One double-blind, sham controlled randomized trial published in 2020 demonstrated that listening to monaural beats (a single frequency) reduced insomnia symptoms among 43 participants. Participants listening to music embedded with theta BBF reported less difficulty sleeping and spent more time in deep REM sleep when compared with those listening to sham audio; it has been associated with relaxation and reduced anxiety as well. Beyond its beneficial sleep effects, researchers discovered listening to music featuring this frequency increased power in occipital lobe regions while decreasing beta power by 40%!
Another way to improve sleep is with a bedside sound device that syncs up with your natural rhythms and cycles, like Adaptive Sound Technologies Inc Science-Backed Sound+Therapy from Adaptive Sound Technologies. This device utilizes 40 Hertz Gamma Sounds combined with optional Gamma Light Flashes at 40 Hertz to sync brain frequencies with therapeutic sounds and lights for brain frequency alignment, providing therapeutic sounds and lights aligning brain frequencies and aligning them with therapeutic sounds/lights for targeted therapeutic effects. It has been clinically tested over 163 nights by 34 participants over 163 nights to enhance maintenance of restful REM sleep by improving maintenance, reduced awakenings after sleep onset, and promoted deep REM sleep.
There are a range of health conditions that can be addressed using sound frequencies to stimulate specific brainwaves or sync with your body’s natural rhythms. Frequency healing has been shown to ease anxiety, stress, sleep disturbances and chronic pain relief; even premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Furthermore, results of using frequency healing are permanent; you can use frequency healing as often as desired in order to feel your best each day!
