Solfeggio Frequencies and Cymatics

Sound

We are all to familiar with sound.  It is a release of pressure into a medium which creates an oscillating frequency wave.  The Ear picks up the vibrations from the wave, and turns them into signals which are then interpreted by the brain.  Sound is a wondrous thing, and it can be found almost everywhere.  It is one of our 5 senses, and a very important one.  Without sight, it would fall to our ability to hear sound, to help us navigate and survive.

 For millennia, sound has been an important aspect for survival, and comfort.  The snapping of twigs, a low growl, a sharp howl, the rustling of bushes, the dead silence; all sounds alerting you to the possibility of a predator nearby.  The sweet hum of a lullaby, the gentle crackling of a warm fire, the soft trickling of water against stone, the light whispering of the wind through the trees; all sounds the we can find comfort in.  But sound can have more of an impact on our minds, and our bodies, beyond just hearing the activity of our surround environment.

Communication

A good example of the effects of sound on people is communication.  Verbal speech is one of the oldest forms of communication.  Refined over the many years, it has matured into something more then just orchestrated noise.  Through verbal communication and it’s refinements, I was able to convey some examples in the paragraph above.  Though it is written text, you probably understand these words and their meanings (Otherwise you shouldn’t be reading this).  Because you have spoken these words and understand them, you are likely saying each word in this line, in your head.  Was I right?

Communication comes in many forms, and its not so much the word as it is the meaning that has effects on people.  For instance, a nice compliment can have an uplifting effect on someone’s mood, such as, “You look good today!”.  It wasn’t the words the made the difference, it was the meaning.  The same could be said for an insult though, like “Does your scale read ‘Mercy!’ when you step on it, or does it just crush beneath your feet?”.  I actually felt a little bad writing that…

A hurtful remark, an uplifting comment, an inspiring speech, a witty comeback, an amusing joke, a sad story, etc.  It is the meaning behind those words that touch our souls, for bad or good.  We use it everyday, and it works everyday.  But if words can move us so much, then what else can sound do?

Music

Music is a pretty obvious one, not unlike the one above.  We have multiple genres today, such as:  Country, Rock, Rap, Pop, Hip Hop, Techno, Metal, and I don’t know what else.  It is sound, specifically structured around Rhythm, Melody and Harmony.  Music is apart of every culture, and has been around since 7,000 B.C.

Music is a little different then just communication.  Though it does often communicate something, often a story or emotion.  Music has the uncanny ability to surpass the outer shell of a person, and reach their very core to have an impact.  Good music can make you laugh or cry, give you confidence, pump you up, calm you down, relieve stress, or create it (depending), and all around soothe the soul.

Consider a ‘Bard’ from old times.  A Bard had to go through extensive mental and verbal training, as well as memorize a minimum of 300 poems, but most knew on the upwards of a thousand.  It was said that a Bard could bring an audience to tears, or laughter.  To calm and create peace between two warring clans, or stir-up courage in the hearts of soldiers, with the right melody for a poem.  There are even stories of Bards being employed for their magical voice to sing over battlefields, and rain fire from the sky upon their enemies.  William Shakespeare was considered a Bard.

Solfeggio Frequencies

I didn’t know much about the Solfeggio Frequencies until more recently.  As I researched them for this post, I found there wasn’t much to go on except a small handful of sites that seemed to have the exact same article written word for word, on each site.  So, I decided since I’m not going to repeat what has already been repeated several times, I’ll just go ahead and highlight some of the major points on Solfeggio Frequencies and post a link at the end to one of the sites, so if you want more information on them.

The Solfeggio Frequencies are believe to be originally used in Ancient Gregorian Chants.  An example could be the Great Hymn of John the Baptist (6 B.C. - 36 A.D.).  These tones where given to the Church for Spiritual purposes, and used among religious masses to imbue tremendous Spiritual Blessings when the frequencies were sung in harmony.

Many years ago the frequencies where lost.  Over the last 200 years we have adopted a new tuning method for music, known now as the 12 Tone Equal Temperament, that has far less of an impact then the Solfeggio Frequencies.  The Frequencies where then rediscovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo and Dr. Leonard Horowitz.

The 6 Basic Solfeggio Frequencies are:
(Name of the Note) - (Frequency) = (Root Number) - (Effect of the Frequency)
Ut - 396 = 9 - Liberating Guilt and Fear
Re - 417 = 3 - Facilitating Change
Mi - 528 = 6 - Transformation and Miracles
Fa - 639 = 9 - Connection and Relationships
Sol - 741 = 3 - Awakening Intuition
La - 852 = 6 - Returning to Spiritual Order

The frequency of 528 was found to be specifically used by genetic biochemist for the treatment and repair of damaged D.N.A.

Dr. Horowitz continued the research after the first 6 were rediscovered and found an additional 3 frequencies.  (Note:  I am not sure of the name, or effect of the additional frequencies)

174 = 3
285 = 6
963 = 9

The reason I add in the root number is because it was discovered that any frequency or vibration with a base number of 3, 6 or 9 was significantly more powerful then others.  Nicola Tesla even said, “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe”.  John Keely, an expert in electromagnetic technologies wrote, "thirds, sixths, and ninths, were extraordinarily powerful." In fact, he proved the "vibratory antagonistic thirds was thousands of times more forceful in separating hydrogen from oxygen in water than heat."

Below is a link to the first half of Solfeggio Frequencies.  More or less the story portion.  It’s quite good though.
Part 1

174 | 417 | 741   = 243 - 324
-------------------
285 | 528 | 852   = 243 - 324
-------------------
396 | 639 | 963   = 243 - 324
^       ^       ^
111   111   111

The picture and chart may not make sense.  But short of just copying and pasting which I didn’t want to do, I just typed out the chart so you can understand when you visit the link for the second part of Solfeggio Frequencies.  It explains how Dr. Horowitz discovered the 3 additional frequencies.  I actually had to do the little tic-tac-toe thing in order for me to understand it.  Also, note the story near the beginning with the Monks.  Quite interesting.
Part 2

Cymatics

This was brought to my attention by a friend of mine.  I was told it was Sacred Geometry, used by Ancient Man when it was discovered.  I saw it mentioned at the bottom of Part 1 as Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena.

If you don’t believe that the Solfeggio Frequencies work, then watch the video below.  How matter is effected by sound…



Amazing, isn’t it?  To wonder what else is out there that is truly marvelous…

Till next time.  Some more lolcats… lol.
