Here's a free vibrational therapy for you to try at home. Most musical instruments can be used for their healing qualities and just the same applies to the human voice, possibly even more so. Just by humming or singing you are setting off frequencies and vibrations inside your body that can shift perception and alter physiology. I found this out during one of my work avoidance breaks.

I hadn't heard of people using tuning forks for healing before but an online conversation with a practitioner got me interested. She was using specifically tuned forks, placed on specifically chosen crystals and positioned on parts of the body's meridian system to recharge these areas with the specific frequencies she perceived as needed. Since my grandfather was a piano tuner and he used to take me to his tunings, I felt an affinity with this alternative therapy. In fact I still treasure his set of piano tuning forks.

The same day I came across something called the Solfeggio scale frequencies. This is a scale based on different frequecies to our 'Do,re,mi,for,so,la,ti,do'. I had read that these were 'mystical' frequencies that had a special vibration, and that manuscripts written in this scale had 'gone missing' from a Catholic collection long ago.

These particular frequencies were rediscovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo in 1974

The frequencies and ascribed usage of the Solfeggio tones in healing are:

UT - 396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
RE - 417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
MI - 528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
FA - 639 Hz – Connecting/Relationships
SOL -741 Hz – Expression/Solutions
LA - 852 Hz – Awakening Intuition

The effect of the solfeggio frequencies on water crystals were discovered by Dr. Edmund Gergerian and passed onto David Hulse. You can see them in these images.

Try it out for yourself !

I got a tone generator online and recorded the tones one after each other as an mp3, with ten seconds of each tone.

What is effective is humming the notes along with the tuner. It really does clear the sinuses and make the head feel brighter.

Download my minute solfeggio scale and sing or hum along to these solfeggio notes to brighten up your whole day.

I downloaded somel guitar tuning software, as this is my chosen instrument, and proceeded to tune my guitar to these frequencies. They were far too high and I broke string in the attempt.

The guitar would only tune to a sound on the 24th fret but I managed to tune it lower, but still in tune with the frequencies. It worked on the 12th fret, but the fretboard didn't. Some of the harmonics worked, and the open strings, so I sampled the 4 x 6 sounds and made my first piece of healing music. It is kinda weird ! The frequencies on the tuner certainly have a 'clearing effect'. The piece of music does build some interesting internal harmonics. Its not worth giving you though - maybe the next one !

Later I found these vids on YouTube with music tuned into the special frequencies.
