02. Frequency Listening

Healing through sound and frequencies is a powerful way to shift your experience, energetically balance yourself and attune to your true resonance. 

By simply exposing yourself to healing frequencies using a tone generator on your phone or computer, you are greatly improving your alignment physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. 

There are many free tone generators out there. The “MultiTone Generator” and “Tone Generator: Audio Sound Hz” are easy to use and allow you to play specific frequencies so you may be fully encompassed by your selected tone(s). The MultiTone Generator allows you to select multiple frequencies at once as well as adjust the intensity of the tone and the ear(s) you want the tone in.

The Harmonic Resonance app plays specific patterns of tones together that can help with nervous system regulation.

Each frequency has its own qualities and attributes that support health, wellness and resonance on all levels of your being. Remember you will not hear every tone. The common range of human hearing is from 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz. 

Instructions:

Option 1: Follow the recommended progressions outlined below. If you are very sound sensitive, you may wish to start with the single tone progression before moving on to the harmonic progression.

Option 2: Browse the frequency options and intuitively choose one

Option 2: Use your testing technique to select one or more frequencies to listen to.

 

Recommended Harmonic Progression

The Harmonic Resonance App plays bundles of frequencies structured in the golden ratio or harmonics of the Schumann Resonance. We credit Banah Winn with identifying the healing potential of listening to frequencies structured in the golden ratio.

The goal is to find the frequency bundle that best matches your intention:

  • To relax your nervous system: Choose the bundle that creates the greatest sense of calm and relaxation in your body.
  • To build nervous system resilience: Choose the lowest frequency bundle that creates a mild sense of tension or stress. This allows you to gently challenge your nervous system without overwhelming it.

Find Your Frequency Threshold

  1. Select Golden.
  2. Select 174 Hz, located at the 1 o'clock position on the frequency ring.
  3. Highlight the frequencies from 25.4 through 456 Hz (which should be the default setting)
  4. Listen and notice how your body responds: relaxes, tenses or stays the same.
  5. If you feel tension or stress, unhighlight 456 Hz and reassess.
  6. Continue removing the highest frequency one at a time until you find a bundle that produces relaxation.

If you cannot find a comfortable bundle using Golden, switch to Schumann and gradually reduce the frequencies until you find a bundle that produces relaxation.

Find Your Resilience Threshold

If your goal is to build resilience, begin with the lowest frequencies and gradually add higher frequencies. Notice when your body first begins to tense or feel stressed.

The lowest frequency that triggers tension becomes your threshold. When using this approach, keep all of the lower frequencies highlighted as well.

For example, if you feel relaxed with frequencies up to 456 Hz but tense when 737 Hz is added, your threshold is 737 Hz. Work with this bundle until your body no longer responds with tension. You can then add the next frequency, 1193 Hz, and gradually build tolerance.

Recommended Progression

As you become more tolerant of the frequencies, progress through the following frequencies in order:

198 → 233 → 264 → 285 → 396 → 417 → 528 → 639 → 741 → 852 → 963 Hz

For resilience training, pair the frequency bundle with a posture, movement or breathing technique.

How to Listen

  • Place your phone or sound-producing device near the midline of your body, preferably behind you, rather than biased to the left or right.
  • When lying on your back, you can place the device above the crown of your head.
  • Listen for approximately 3–30 minutes.
  • You can enhance the effect of your posture, movement or breathing technique by performing it while listening to the frequencies.
  • For even more impact, choose a frequency within the bundle and vocally tone it during your exhale.
  • As you listen, notice the unique qualities, energy and essence of the frequency. Allow yourself to enjoy the tone and breathe.

Use 1–2 times per day for 2–7 days, unless otherwise directed.

If you are very sound-sensitive, progress more slowly. It may take several days or longer before you are ready to advance to a higher frequency.

 

 

Recommended Single Tone Progression

Listen to the following frequencies individually, either on their own or while performing a posture, movement or breathing technique.

Frequency Progression

  1. 233 Hz: Begin by listening with the tone in your right ear.
  2. After 1–2 days, alternate the tone between your right, left and right ears, spending a few minutes in each ear.
  3. 144 Hz: Progress to 144 Hz in your right ear. After 1–2 days, again alternate between the right, left and right ears.
  4. Continue progressing through the following frequencies with your device positioned near your left ear:

174 → 198 → 285 → 396 → 417 → 426 → 528 → 639 → 741 → 852 Hz

Progress to the next frequency when you feel comfortable with the current one. If you are very sound-sensitive, stay with each frequency for several days or longer before progressing.

How to Listen

  • Listen for approximately 3–30 minutes.
  • You can enhance the effect of a posture, movement or breathing technique by performing it while listening to the frequency.
  • For an additional effect, consider vocally toning the frequency you are listening to.
  • As you listen, notice the unique qualities, energy and essence of the frequency. Allow yourself to enjoy the tone and breathe.
  • Use 1–2 times per day for 2–7 days, unless otherwise directed.

You may use tuning forks at these frequencies instead of a tone generator.
