This is what you need to know about sound!
Everything in this Universe, including you is vibrating at a frequency. This is because you and everything around you is energy.
The energy of the Earth vibrates at a 528Hz frequency which is the same frequency as Love, the Universal Healer.
The frequency of 528Hz is believed to be so powerful that it can help repair and restore DNA damage, bring peace and harmony and restore equilibrium to everything around it. Talk about good vibrations!
528Hz is the sound of Love however, there are many conspiracy theorists out there that believe that modern day music, TV commercials and the like are programmed at a lower and unnatural 440Hz frequency which is designed to stimulate fear, sickness and oppression.
The theory is that the 440Hz frequency was adopted during the Nazi regime in order to control prisoners and lower their consciousness. Then in 1940, the US introduced 440Hz as the standard frequency.
440Hz is an unnatural tuning frequency and according to Dr. Leonard Horowitz “the music industry features this imposed frequency that is herding populations into greater aggression, psycho social agitation and emotional distress predisposing people to physical illness.”
When particles vibrate at 423Hz there is order and geometry. When they vibrate at 440Hz however, there is confusion and lack of structure.
When your environment and your body begins vibrating at a lower or an unnatural frequency it can cause illness throughout your body, mind, and spirit. In fact, illness often manifests on an energetic level first and then moves to the physical level.
It is believed that when your body is in harmony it vibrates at around 62-68Hz and anything lower than this can contribute to a weakened immune system. Colds and flu are believed to start around 58Hz, whereas cancer can appear around 42Hz. Before death takes hold your energy is also believed to dip below 20Hz.
There are many factors that can lower your vibration including:
- Negative thoughts or being surrounded by negative people
- Watching violent or horror movies and watching TV in general
- Electromagnetic frequencies from cell phones, computers etc.
- Radiation from microwaves, wi-fi connections etc.
- Stress, anger, and anxiety
- Poor diet, GMO foods, and processed foods
- Exposure to household cleaning chemicals and pesticides
- Smoking, alcohol, and drugs
The famous physicist, Nikola Tesla also researched energetic frequencies and claimed that if we could eliminate certain frequencies that interfered with our bodies then we could lower the chances of disease.
Just like certain frequencies bring about disease there are other frequencies that stimulate healing and regeneration.
These frequencies are known as the Solfeggio scale, which is believed to have been used in ancient sacred music and Gregorian chants.
Each Solfeggio tone is designed to balance the energy of your body in order to keep it in perfect harmony. The 6 main tones are:
- 396 Hz– liberates guilt and fear to help you achieve your goals
- 417 Hz– helps to deal with change and removes old patterns and habits
- 528 Hz– love and DNA repair, believed to bring about miracles
- 741 Hz– helps to solve problems and express yourself, also a powerful cleanser
- 852 Hz– awakens, allows you to see the truth, develops intuition
- 936 Hz– reconnects you to oneness and light
Another powerful healing frequency is 432 Hz and this is believed to help induce a mediative state, stimulate the heart chakra and bring harmony to the body. Studies have also found that listening to music at a 432 Hz frequency can help stimulate calmness and happiness.
Just by listening to these frequencies either through music, Tibetan singing bowls, gongs or tuning forks you can begin to stimulate healing, however here are some other techniques:
Vibrational Medicine
Essential oils, flower essences, and homeopathic medicines are all believed to hold a powerful vibration and frequency. The most potent essential oil is Rose and has been measured at 320 Hz, followed by Lavender which has been measured at 118Hz. Most fresh herbs also have a frequency of 20-27 Hz.
Organic/ Farm Fresh Food
Fresh, organic foods seem to have the highest frequency ranging from 20-27 Hz. To put it in perspective, certain GMO foods and processed foods have a frequency of 0 Hz.
Gems and Crystals
Each gem and crystal emits its own unique frequency that works in harmony with own human magnetic fields. The frequency of a crystal will depend on its clarity, cut and how it has been processed.
Some high-frequency gems and crystals include penfieldite, diamonds, quartz, danburite, moldavite, tanzanite, sapphire, and brookite.
Positive Thoughts
Positive thoughts carry a vibration of 10-15 Hz so it is easy to see how your thoughts can quickly effect your overall energy and wellbeing.
Mediation, Chanting and Deep Breathing
Conducting certain Mudras and deep breathing during mediation can also help raise your vibration as can chanting. The famous ‘Om‘ or ‘Aum’ is also a great way to enhance your vibration and bring about calmness and harmony.
Nature
Spending time in nature is a great way to harmonize your energy and bring equilibrium to the body. Earthing which requires you to walk barefoot on the grass is also a great way to reconnect with the energy of the Earth.
We are all energy so it makes sense that the different energies around us can influence us on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

History:
On July 8, 1680, Robert Hooke was able to see the nodal patterns associated with the modes of vibration of glass plates. Hooke ran a bow along the edge of a glass plate covered with flour and saw the nodal patterns emerge.
The German musician and physicist Ernst Chladni noticed in the eighteenth century that the modes of vibration of a membrane or a plate can be observed by sprinkling the vibrating surface with a fine dust (e.g., lycopodium powder, flour or fine sand). The powder moves due to the vibration and accumulates progressively in points of the surface corresponding to the sound vibration. The points form a pattern of lines, known as “nodal lines of the vibration mode”. The normal modes of vibration, and the pattern of nodal lines associated with each of these are completely determined, for a surface with homogeneous mechanical characteristics, from the geometric shape of the surface and by the way in which the surface is constrained.
Experiments of this kind, similar to those carried out earlier by Galileo Galileiaround 1630 and by Robert Hooke in 1680, were later perfected by Chladni, who introduced them systematically in 1787 in his book Entdeckungen über die Theorie des Klanges (Discoveries on the theory of sound). This provided an important contribution to the understanding of acoustic phenomena and the functioning of musical instruments. The figures thus obtained (with the aid of a violin bow that rubbed perpendicularly along the edge of smooth plates covered with fine sand) are still designated by the name of “Chladni figures”.
In healing
It has been shown that application of ultrasound waves stimulate healing, However, other than select articles on the subject of low-amplitude high-frequency sound in bone fracture healing, there is no medical evidence of this phenomenon.
Influences on art and music
Devices for displaying nodal images have influenced visual arts and contemporary music. Artist Björk created projections of cymatics patterns by using bass frequencies on tour for her album Biophilia.
Hans Jenny’s book on Chladni figures influenced Alvin Lucier and helped lead to Lucier’s composition Queen of the South. Jenny’s work was also followed up by Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) founder György Kepes at MIT. His work in this area included an acoustically vibrated piece of sheet metal in which small holes had been drilled in a grid. Small flames of gas burned through these holes and thermodynamic patterns were made visible by this setup.
In the mid-1980s, visual artist Ron Rocco, who also developed his work at CAVS, employed mirrors mounted to tiny servo motors, driven by the audio signal of a synthesizer and amplified by a tube amp to reflect the beam of a laser. This created light patterns which corresponded to the audio’s frequency and amplitude. Using this beam to generate video feedback and computers to process the feedback signal, Rocco created his “Andro-media” series of installations. Rocco later formed a collaboration with musician David Hykes, who practiced a form of Mongolian overtone chanting with The Harmonic Choir, to generate cymatic images from a pool of liquid mercury, which functioned as a liquid mirror to modulate the beam of a Helium-Neon laser from the sound thus generated. Photographs of this work can be found in the Ars Electronica catalog of 1987.
Contemporary German photographer and philosopher Alexander Lauterwasser has brought cymatics into the 21st century using finely crafted crystal oscillators to resonate steel plates covered with fine sand and to vibrate small samples of water in Petri dishes. His first book, Water Sound Images, translated into English in 2006, features imagery of light reflecting off the surface of water set into motion by sound sources ranging from pure sine waves to music by Beethoven, Karlheinz Stockhausen, electroacoustic group Kymatik (who often record in ambisonic surround sound) and overtone singing. The resulting photographs of standing wave patterns are striking. Lauterwasser’s book focused on creating detailed visual analogs of natural patterns ranging from the distribution of spots on a leopard to the geometric patterns found in plants and flowers, to the shapes of jellyfish and the intricate patterns found on the shell of a tortoise.
Composer Stuart Mitchell and his father T.J. Mitchell claimed that Rosslyn Chapel‘s carvings supposedly contain references to cymatics patterns. In 2005 they created a work called The Rosslyn Motet realized by attempting to match various Chladni patterns to 13 geometric symbols carved onto the faces of cubes emanating from 14 arches.
Like many claims in the cymatics community, the hypothesis that the carvings represent Chladni patterns is not supported by scientific or historical evidence. One of the problems is that many of the ‘box’ carvings are not original, having been replaced in the 19th century following damage by erosion.
The musical group, “The Glitch Mob” used cymatics to produce the music video “Becoming Harmonious (ft. Metal Mother)”.
Influenced by Yantra diagrams and cymatics, artist and fashion designer Mandali Mendrilla created a sculpture dress called “Kamadhenu (Wish Tree Dress III)” the pattern of which is based on a Yantra diagram depicting goddess Kamadhenu.
Aphex Twin suggests learning more about cymatics (linking to this article) in reference to ‘master tuning of 440 Hz’ in a conversation with synth-maker Tatsuya Takahashi.
