Sound and music are universally expressed all cultures and races to connect to the divine both in ancient and modern times supporting unity.

Sound frequencies move through the water in the body, and the Earth.
Water holds memory and intention as confirmed by Dr. Masaru Emoto’s research, author of The Hidden Messages in Water.

The Science of sound
- Binaural beats use difference of separate two frequencies played simultaneously by generating a third beat perceptible by the brain and induces changes in wave patterns, cognition, and emotional states.
- Sonic frequencies are used in medical diagnostics and procedures including electrocardiograms (EKG), sonograms, and lithotripsy (treat kidney stones).
Effects of harmonic resonance on humans
- Mental – Supports activity between hemispheres, memory recall, plasticity, and learning. Sound bypasses the conscious mind and stimulates the subconscious awareness supporting release by entering a trance state.
- Physical – Sonic vibration relaxes tissues, reduces inflammation, stimulates Nitric Oxide NO that supports with the immune and nervous systems and relaxes muscles.
- Emotional – Has a direct influence on mood to soothe and release tension, ease depression, increase joy, and hope.
What does sound look like?
Cymatics reflect impacts on matter – Geometric patterns emerge in the physical expression when responding to the frequency introduced. The higher the frequency, the more complex the pattern. Frequencies can be felt as vibration that interacts with our subtle (or etheric) bodies.
Why frequency is important
Solfeggio frequencies were used in Gregorian chants and in the mid-1970’s a naturopathic physician, Dr Joseph Puleo discovered in biblical texts a pattern of repeating codes around a series of sacred numbers, 3, 6 and 9. He used the ancient Pythagorean method of reducing the verse numbers to their single digit integers, and discovered the scale illustrated by the geometry below. Each frequency is attributed to specific qualities, most notably 528 Hz supporting DNA repair to the genetic blueprint that has been investigated by biochemists.
- 174 – reduce pain
- 285 – influence energy fields
- 396 – turn grief into joy
- 417 – facilitate change
- 528 – transformation & miracles
- 639 – reconnecting, relationships
- 741 – expressions/solutions
- 852 – return to spiritual order
- 963 – awaken perfect state
So how does this all work?
All matter holds a frequency, so when the coherence signal (the sonic input) is introduced, your matter (body) entrains to resonance and organizes with more balance and equilibrium. So just like notes on an acustic scale, the energy centers or chakras of your body have individual frequencies that combine into a whole expression.
