Rap music pumps you up.

R&B makes you wistful and melancholic.

Deep house helps you focus.

If you've ever wondered why, let me break it down for you:

Music is a collection of sounds.

Sounds have vibrations. And those vibrations affect us on a neurological, physiological, and biochemical level.

The sound of nails screeching on a chalkboard sets our teeth on edge while on the flip side—the sound of the waves soothes us.

The sound vibrations of sound healing instruments penetrate deep into the tissue. This improves blood circulation and metabolism, regulates muscle tension and deeply stimulates the tissue. Regeneration and repair mechanisms are stimulated.

Sound healing is both activating and relaxing – so it also has a refreshing effect. The oscillation, or resonance, of molecules, triggered by the sound vibrations cause alternating compression and relaxation of cells.

It is massage at a cellular level deep within the tissue undergoing the treatment.

For example...Studies have shown only 5 minutes of listening to 528 Hz music significantly reduces stress.

In 9 healthy participants who listened to the 528 Hz frequency — the levels of cortisol decreased, chromogranin A (a biomarker for the assessment of neuro-endocrine tumours) decreased, and oxytocin significantly decreased.

Tension-anxiety and total mood disturbance scores were SIGNIFICANTLY reduced after exposure to 528 Hz music.

Wait until you learn what it does to the testosterone levels in your brain.

According to the study, sounds waves with 528 Hz frequency in 100 dB intensity induce testosterone production in brain by enhancing StAR and SF-1 and reducing P450 aromatase gene expression.In simpler terms — reduced levels of anxiety in your brain due to 528 Hz frequency increase the concentration of testosterone in brain.

And now to the most important part...528 Hz is classified as a Solfeggio Frequency.

The solfeggio frequencies range from 174 Hz to 963 Hz. Hertz (Hz) represents the smallest unit of frequency. Solfeggio sound patterns encompass 174 to 963 frequency units, forming a melodious spectrum that has been shown to impact wellbeing.

Here are the other 8 less-known Solfeggio Frequencies:

1. 174 Hz - the healing frequency. It has the greatest potential effect on the physical body when compared to the other. It could ease pain and stress, improve concentration, and give the organs in the body a sense of security.

Listening to this sound frequency can be most helpful when you want to feel more uplifted, secure, and give power to your goals and dreams.
4. 417 Hz - The frequency may aid in the healing of trauma. It’s said to help clear negative energy from your body and space, as well as negative thoughts and behaviours. 417 Hz could help you find the motivation to embrace change while also promoting restful sleep.
