Frequencies

Healing Frequencies

 Healing frequencies are measured in Hertz (Hz) and work through vibration, interacting with both the physical body and the subtle energy field. Sound moves through breath, bones, and awareness, creating gentle shifts that open space for restoration and balance.

Solfeggio Frequencies guide the mind into calm, receptive brainwave states, allowing the body to soften and reset. As the rhythm settles in, layers of tension dissolve and the inner world grows quiet, making room for clarity and renewal.

Chakras are energetic centers that regulate the flow of life force throughout the body. Each center responds to vibration, tuning itself to harmony much like a sacred instrument. When these frequencies are present, energy begins to move with ease, supporting emotional release, spiritual healing, and a deeper sense of wholeness—where the body, mind, and inner self align as one.

Tuning Fork therapy - About

Weighted Tunning Forks

Weighted Tunning Forks

 Weighted tuning forks are sound healing tools with small weights on the ends of the prongs. These weights allow the vibration to travel deeper into the body, rather than dispersing quickly into the air. They are primarily used on the physical body for therapeutic and nervous system support.

Unlike unweighted forks (used mostly in the energy field), weighted forks work somatically—meaning they affect muscles, fascia, bones, and the nervous system.

How Weighted Tuning Forks Work

 When activated and placed on the body, the vibrations:

Travel through tissue and bone (bone conduction) - Signal the nervous system to shift from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest - Encourage muscular relaxation - Support circulation and energetic flow - Help release stored tension and stress
 

Many people feel the effects immediately: a sense of calm, grounding, and deep presence.

Nervous System & Vagus Nerve Benefits

 Weighted tuning forks are widely used in trauma-informed and somatic practices because they:

Gently stimulate the vagus nerve - Support regulation of the nervous system - Help reduce anxiety and overwhelm - Promote feelings of safety in the body - Encourage deeper breathing - Support emotional release without verbal processing
 

This makes them excellent tools for:

Highly sensitive individuals - People experiencing chronic stress - Clients who struggle with meditation - Post-ritual grounding - Reiki and energy work integration

How They Are Commonly Used

 Placed on or near:

Sternum (heart space) - Shoulders and neck - Spine - Jaw (TMJ tension) - Hips - Knees and joints - Soles of the feet - Acupressure points

What Clients Typically Feel

 Deep calm - Warmth in the body - Muscles softening - Emotional release - Feeling more “in their body” - Grounded after anxiety - Improved sleep after use

Many describe it as:

“Like my body finally exhaled.”

Why People Love Weighted Forks

 Gentle but powerful - Non-invasive - Drug-free - Trauma-aware
Easy to use - Great for daily nervous system hygiene - Beautiful tools for ritual + healing

Un-Weighted Tunning Forks

About

 Unweighted tuning forks are sound healing tools designed to work primarily with the energy field, aura, and subtle body, rather than deep physical tissue. Without weights on the prongs, they produce a lighter, longer-lasting tone that moves through the air and vibrational field around the body.

They are ideal for energetic clearing, chakra balancing, meditation, and ritual work.

How Unweighted Tuning Forks Work

 Instead of being placed on the body, unweighted forks are usually held:

Around the body - Above chakra centers - Around the head - In the aura - Around objects, tools, or sacred spaces
 

Their sound waves:

Clear stagnant energy - Support mental clarity - Encourage emotional balance - Enhance meditation states - Help shift energetic blockage - Bring coherence to the energy field - Think of them as a sonic cleansing tool for your aura.

Best Uses for Unweighted Tuning Forks

 Unweighted forks are perfect for:

Chakra balancing - Aura cleansing - Meditation enhancement - Sound baths - Energy healing sessions - Space clearing - Crystal charging - Clearing tarot decks and ritual tools - Setting intention during rituals

Emotional & Energetic Benefits

 Clients often experience:

Lightness in the body - Calm mind - Increased focus - Emotional clarity - Spiritual connection - A sense of energetic “reset” - Expanded intuition

Many describe the feeling as:  “Like my energy got brushed clean.”

Why People Love Unweighted Forks

They are:

Gentle and non-invasive - Great for beginners - Safe for children and sensitive people - Easy to use in ritual and daily practice - Beautiful tools for meditation spaces - Perfect companions to Reiki and breathwork

Body Tuners

Body Tuners (C & G)

 

Body Tuners (C & G) are tuning forks designed to bring the body and nervous system back into balance through sound and vibration. Tuned to the harmonizing frequencies of C and G, they support physical relaxation, emotional regulation, and energetic coherence. When used together, these tones create a calming interval that encourages the body to shift out of stress and into a state of ease and alignment.


Body Tuners are commonly used to support nervous system regulation, muscle relaxation, stress relief, and grounding. Weighted forks are placed directly on the body to allow vibration to travel deeply through tissue and bone, while unweighted forks work in the energy field for subtle balancing and integration. Loved for their gentle yet effective nature, Body Tuners are ideal for sound healing sessions, meditation, Reiki, ritual work, and daily self-care, helping restore a sense of calm, balance, and embodied presence.


 Combined Use (C & G Together)

Using both tuners creates a harmonic interval that:

  • Brings the body into coherence
     
  • Synchronizes left and right brain
     
  • Encourages emotional + physical balance
     
  • Enhances meditation and intention work
     
  • Supports energetic reset after ritual, Reiki, or cleansing
     

Many practitioners call them:

“The nervous system reset pair.”

Brain Tuners

What are Brain Tuners?

Brain Tuners are tuning forks based on EEG brainwave research that gently guide the mind into balanced states of awareness—Delta (deep rest), Theta (meditation & intuition), Alpha (calm focus), and Beta (alert clarity). Used near the ears or around the head, they work through sound and vibration to encourage brainwave entrainment, helping calm mental chatter, support meditation, improve focus, regulate the nervous system, and create a natural sense of balance between rest and alertness. 



Why Use Brain Tuners?

 • Encourage mental balance
• Support meditation
• Calm or sharpen the mind
• Easy, gentle, non-invasive
• Perfect for daily mental reset 

OTTO 128

What Is Otto 128?

 

Otto 128 Hz is a weighted tuning fork designed to work deeply with the physical body and nervous system. Its low frequency allows vibration to travel through bone and tissue, creating a profoundly grounding and calming effect. Often used in sound healing and somatic practices, Otto 128 supports nervous system regulation, muscle relaxation, pain relief, and stress reduction.


This frequency is especially valued for its ability to stimulate the vagus nerve and shift the body from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest, making it ideal for anxiety, overwhelm, and post-ritual grounding. Spiritually, Otto 128 is associated with root energy, safety, and embodiment—helping anchor the spirit back into the body and bring intentions into physical presence. Gentle yet powerful, it is commonly placed on the sternum, spine, joints, or feet and is loved for its immediate sense of calm, stability, and deep inner stillness.

Energetic & Spiritual Layer

Beyond physical benefits, many practitioners associate 128 Hz with:

  • Root chakra support
     
  • Earth connection
     
  • Safety and stability
     
  • Returning to the body after spiritual work
     
  • Anchoring intentions into physical reality
     

It’s often described as:

“Calling your spirit back home into your body.”

binaural beats

Brainwave Entertainment

Brainwave Entertainment

Brainwave Entertainment

 Binaural beats use two different sound frequencies—one sent to each ear through headphones—to create a subtle rhythmic pulse within the brain. This process is known as brainwave entrainment, where the brain naturally aligns its wave patterns with the frequency it is exposed to.

When each ear receives a slightly different tone, the brain responds by generating a third frequency equal to the difference between the two. This internal rhythm encourages brainwave states commonly associated with meditation, relaxation, focus, or deep rest.

Example

Brainwave Entertainment

Brainwave Entertainment

 If the left ear hears a tone at 200 Hz and the right ear hears 210 Hz, the brain produces a binaural beat of 10 Hz, a frequency often linked to calm, meditative awareness.

As the brain synchronizes with this frequency, the nervous system settles, mental chatter softens, and the body enters a more balanced, receptive state—making binaural beats a powerful tool for intentional listening and inner stillness.

Important Note

Brainwave Entertainment

Important Note

 Binaural beats should not be used by individuals with seizure disorders, as changes in brainwave activity may increase the risk of seizure. Headphones are required for proper use, as each ear must receive a separate frequency. 

Binaural Beats
