Solfeggio frequencies are a set of 9 electromagnetic tones that are reputed to have the power to heal and raise consciousness. They form the basis of many ancient sacred music traditions dating back as far as the 8th century, such as the Gregorian chants and Indian Sanskrit chants.
Albert Einstein once said, "everything in our Universe is vibration." The atoms in our bodies, the molecules and atoms in inanimate objects, thoughts and sounds - all things in our Universe are in motion, vibrating. Even the planet itself vibrates and resonates at its own frequency.
The human ear can only hear a limited range of vibrations per second. In sound science, the number of vibrations per seconds is known as "frequency", which is measured in Hz.
The human ear is only capable of hearing sounds that vibrate at the frequency of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz). Dolphins and bats are capable of hearing sound up to 100 kHz, so you can see how limited the human capacity for hearing sounds is.
At the heart of solfeggio frequencies is the belief that the vibrational signature of certain sounds, ranging from 174 Hz to 963 Hz, can positively impact our mental, physical and spiritual health.
Now that we've covered the basics of the science of sound, let's take a look at where Solfeggio frequencies came from.
While there's a number of different opinions on where the solfeggio frequencies originated, it's widely believed they were first introduced by a Benedictine Monk and music theorist named Guido d’Arezzo in the 10th Century.
Guido d'Arezzo put music to a poem called "The Hymn To St John The Baptist." This hymn, which is a Gregorian chant, is the most widely celebrated example of the use of the solfeggio scale in ancient music. The six original tones of the solfeggio scale are all present in it.
This is the first stanza of The Hymn To St John The Baptist:
Ut queant laxis
Resonare fibris
Mira gestorum
Famuli tuorum
Solve polluti
labii reatum
Sancte Johannes
You may notice that the musical scale of Ut-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La is present, which forms the basis for our modern Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti scales used by musicians today.
