History and Healing Power of the Solfeggio Frequencies
Do re mi fa sol la si do!
Today I'm going to talk about the Solfeggio frequencies. A lot of people know Solfeggio as a singing technique, a way of identifying musical intervals. It is so much more than that, and I want to really introduce you to these tones and give you the space to feel them for yourself and feel what they are doing in your body and how they are supporting your consciousness. I'm going to start by talking a little bit more about the history of the Solfeggio frequencies, which, in my research, is quite unclear, but I'm going to share with you what history I have found and then break down the specific energetics of each of the Solfeggio tuning fork frequencies.
The Christian roots of the Solfeggio go back to Gregorian chanting in the "Hymn to St. John the Baptist" written by Paul the Deacon in the 8th century AD. Back then, Do-Re-Mi was actually Ut-Re-Mi, and the sound Sa was changed to Si. The musical scale was actually named after the first couple syllables in each line of that hymn — Ut Re Mi Fa Sol La Si. The actual intervals of the Solfeggio are based in mathematics in ratios of 3, 6 and 9. There's a huge gap in history between the 18th century monks and the Gregorian chants and the Pythagorean theory that supposedly the Solfeggio frequencies stem from.
Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher, mathematician and astrologer who lived around 500 BC and a lot of his work was hidden and destroyed. He had knowledge and understanding of the relationship between numbers and words and had understood mathematical systems of translating numbers into elemental solids, into creation and form. The Solfeggio frequencies were rediscovered by a man named Dr. Joseph Puleo in 1974, and from what
I've read about his uncovering of these frequencies, it appears as though he was able to translate the English and Hebrew Bible through intuitive guidance from his non-physical guidance field to unlock the numerical and mathematical codes of the words in the Book of Numbers in the Hebrew Bible. Through this process he found six repeating codes and these codes are the frequencies of the tuning forks. These frequencies have a special relationship and interval and ratio with the numbers 3, 6 and 9.
As you'll see as we go through them, from my perspective of human energetics and the biofield, we have specific codes and geometries that mingle with light, sound and vibration. When the biofield is in a state of harmony, when it has that perfect pitch and tone, each unique template is able to sing — sing through the pure, vibrant life force that pulses through the cells of the body, through the balance of the emotions, the mental, the physical and the spiritual etheric bodies within the energy field. And I do think that the frequencies of the Solfeggio inform the mathematical ratios behind the geometry and the structural order of the biofield to come back into harmony, and that's why certain frequencies you'll see are related to the restructuring of the cells and the healing of the DNA.
So how far back this knowledge actually goes, I do not know. There are those who make connections between the Solfeggio and the ancient Indian musical interval scales called Sagram; and they are different. Sagram has its own version of Do-Re-Mi, different syllable sounds, but that ancient system is also based upon natural intervals and, I'm sure, has its own mathematical relationship behind its frequency structures.
So that being said, I would like to introduce each of the members of the Solfeggio orchestra to you! When you listen to these tuning fork frequencies, it is common to feel energetic movement, including tension or emotions rising to the surface and awarenesses come to mind. It is also notable that the tuning forks produce overtones when their frequencies are activated. When someone comes in greater energetic harmony, the tones become clearer and more harmonically pleasing to the ear.
In the following paragraphs, I'll share with you a little bit of my research of the effects of the Solfeggio frequencies and my interpretation of how these frequencies work.
174 hz
The 174 hertz feels like deflating a balloon to me. It's a very grounding frequency. It's used in Biofield Tuning for combing the field. I'm not a Biofield Tuning practitioner. That's its own system. But I have studied a number of different systems and different viewpoints of what these forks are doing. And this one seems to be used universally for physical pain and is said to release karmic energy. I notice it when I'm combing my own field and I'll come across spaces of static or sharp pitch or dull pitch or even an empty spot in my energy field, that this tone can universally harmonize those disharmonic frequencies. I like to use this fork to move any really dense, stuck energies because it is the lowest frequency in this set, so it can break up denser frequencies.
285 hz
The 285 hertz is used classically for any kind of wounds or damaged tissues; that can also mean cuts, burns or lacerations. Basically, this tuning fork is used for restructuring the cells, so like the 174 hertz, has a very physical orientation toward health and well-being, but it's also really soothing to the cells of the internal organs and working on the level of the tissues.
396 hz
I really love this frequency. It's actually related to the root energy center and with this one, I'll have to agree with the number of texts I've read, that it is good for liberating guilt, shame and grief from the system, turning grief into joy, bringing back the energy and vitality that was buried underneath shame and guilt and fear. It is known to bring down the defensive mechanisms so you can access more of your own personal power and move toward your goals and dreams. I feel this frequency a lot in my digestive system and that's known in many healing systems to be a common place where we hold those frequencies. Of course, people can hold any of these frequencies in any part of the body, so I'm not going to confine it just to the root center. I think it's a really good frequency for empaths who pick up on the collective's fears and anxieties, helping with uplifting and releasing some of the collective panic.
417 hz
As you could have guessed, we are working our way up the energy center. So the 417 hertz relates to the sacral center, but it doesn't have to. These frequencies can be useful anywhere in the body. This frequency is known to support releasing traumatic events and memories. Removing any destructive influences or thoughts from these past events and clearing the way for creative potential, especially with that connection to the sacral center, that is, the sexual creative center, opening up the optimal energy flow into that sacral center, being able to move forward in life with that personal power and creative zest.
528 hz
This frequency relates to the solar plexus, and it has the tone of the sun. It is literally like our own personal solar sun, that sense of self, the self-character, illuminating that bright sun out into the world from the solar plexus. This frequency is known by many as a miracle frequency because it apparently repairs the DNA. I resonate with that. Personally I can't prove that to you, but it is said in several different places that with the correct intention and through the use of light frequencies, directing the intention and light, with the sound of the fork or also with clear quartz or Lemurian quartz frequency, that the 528 hertz frequency can produce miracles, awakening and activating creative potential, deep spiritual states, inner peace, relaxing the endocrine system, potentially reducing toxins and allowing ourselves to infuse our solar plexus with more and more light of that inner solar sun.
639 hz
The 639 relates to the heart center. It is known to support harmonious communication with ourselves and with others and apparently harmonizes the communication of our cells with the environment. When I listen to this tone, I feel a sense of home and spirit family connection as well.
741 hz
This frequency relates to the throat center. It has a cleansing effect. It cleanses toxins, and that can also include EMFs and different infections. Cleansing on an energetic level, it also cleanses the mind, the words and the expression, allowing us to live more simply in that purified state, potentially leading to healthier habits. When we cleanse ourselves vibrationally and energetically, we tend to crave simpler, healthier, lighter energies, foods, environments and stimuli. The 741 hertz is also related to the planet Mercury, which makes a lot of sense with communication and expression from that place of clarity and simplicity, finding creative solutions to problems.
852 hz
This frequency makes me want to take a sigh and a deep breath. The 852 hertz relates to the third eye center, and it's all about enhancing your connection to your personal truth, awakening mental clarity, clearing negative thinking or psychic interference from the third eye center. To me it just feels like a puff of fresh air. It's like when you go to the optometrist and they do that little air puff test on your eyes to see the pressure of your eyes. It feels like that, but in the third eye. So it is said that the 852 hertz helps replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts and helps with overthinking and awakening the intuition, being able to see through illusions and seeing the truth behind situations.
936 hz
The 936 hertz is connected to the crown center and to me, the crown energy center is our connection to time: being on a single timeline, having our source connection, our connection to the divine, that communication and harmony between taking hints from our non-physical self and our non-physical guidance, that is in alignment through the central channel and being able to make decisions and actions in the physical, in connection to the earth. So the 936 hertz is like a calibrator. It's like a spiritual, energetic and time recalibrator, connecting you to the physical and the non-physical, all through that central channel, through that original clean slate, that perfect, original template and wholeness connecting us to All That Is, the Spirit, the I am.

Thank you for letting me introduce these tuning forks to you. I would love to hear about your experience and the things that you've noticed using them, because I'm sure that every single experience is going to feel extremely different.
When you're working on an energetic level, whether it's with sound and vibration or through any other healing modality, your cells release stuck energies in the form of detox, as the biofield is releasing memories — whether they're traumatic memories or unprocessed emotions. Detox can look like wonky dreams, physical soreness or even feverish symptoms, if it's a bigger detox, and possibly emotions arising.
So if that happens for you, give yourself just a little extra time and space to take care of your body, to wiggle, to shake, take an Epsom salt bath, have some extra electrolytes or sea salt under your tongue and just take extra care to rest and stay hydrated.
Starting on January 29 through March 5, 2025, I'm going to be offering a six-week online program that supports each of the participants in aligning your energy field and releasing these old, stuck memories, emotions, traumas, thoughts, belief patterns, and really allowing you the space to peel the layers of the onion, week by week, and get to that place where you have a support system as you're detoxing and integrating. My vision is that, with the support of this group, you will be able to step more confidently into your path moving forward.
Everything is vibration, and when we clean up our energy fields, it can be a little bit of a messy process. It is not always for the light of heart. It is a deep, inner spiritual process. But the result of remembering more of who you are, of that inner light, that inherent creative, joyful life force that you are, that unique expression of love that you are, that's what we're reaching toward! Cleaning up anything that's interfering with that connection to your expression of love. And whatever that expression looks like, you know you're on the right path because you're drawn to it through your heart, through gratitude, through your desires that are connected, through every single cell of your body saying yes.
So I would love for you to join me on January 29th at 5:30 pm to 7 pm Eastern time, and I will be recording an hour session that you can re-listen to as you integrate week by week. The last 30 minutes of each session is going to be a live Q&A which will not be recorded. It is a small group, so we're going to keep things pretty tight and intimate, and I really look forward to connecting with you in support.
You can sign up for the Energy Catalyst Workshop at http://melanieadrianna.com. Thank you for joining me in this tuning fork exploration today and I look forward to connecting with you next time!
Take good care,
Melanie Adrianna
