When human beings came to the Earth, an incredible relationship was sparked, a relationship that science is just beginning to understand. In nature, your body more easily tunes into the Earth’s frequency and can restore, revitalize, and heal itself more effectively. A surprisingly field of investigation is yet to be discovered.

More than 3.5 billion years ago, life first arrived on this planet, a planet that had a natural frequency. As life started to evolve, it did so surrounded by this frequency. So, unsurprisingly, it began tuning in. When human beings came to the Earth, an incredible relationship was sparked, a relationship that science is just beginning to understand.
Do you feel generally happier and more peaceful when you’re out in nature, away from noise, traffic jams, and neon lights? It is not just that you left the city behind. Or that you’re a person who likes nature. In nature, your body more easily tunes into the Earth’s frequency and can restore, revitalize, and heal itself more effectively.
As researchers look deeper into it, it turns out that tuning our brain waves to the planet’s pulse is not only healthful (as is tuning out, unhealthful) for us but it might be connected to the beginning of life itself.
The Earth behaves like a gigantic electric circuit. Its electromagnetic field surrounds and protects all living things with a natural frequency pulsation of 7.83 hertz on average — the so-called “Schumann resonance,” named after physicist Dr. Winfried Otto Schumann, who predicted it mathematically in 1952. This frequency circulates in the cavity bounded by the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere, surrounding the Earth at a distance of about 60 miles. Such space is filled with an electrical tension created by the clashing of the ionosphere, which is positively charged by the sun (solar winds), and the Earth’s surface, which carries a negative charge.
We can think of it like the Earth’s pulse or heartbeat. Interestingly, 7.83 hertz is also the human brain’s average alpha frequency in electroencephalography. Among the five main categories of brain waves, alpha waves, which stand in the middle of the scale, induce relaxation but not quite meditation — a state where we begin to tap into the wealth of creativity that lies just below our conscious awareness. So, what is interesting about this relationship? As researchers look deeper into it, it turns out that tuning our brain waves to the planet’s pulse is not only healthful (as is tuning out, unhealthful) for us but it might be connected to the beginning of life itself.

One of the main researchers on this topic, Dr. Wolfgang Ludwig, discovered that while the Earth’s vibration could be clearly measured in nature and in the ocean, it was almost impossible to measure in the city, where manmade signals such as radios, TVs, cars, buildings, phones, and the like override natural signals.
He began thinking that this could have large implications on human well-being. With this idea in mind, Ludwig invented something thinking of his mother, who suffered frequently of Foehn symptoms, caused by certain weather phenomena such as low pressure and high winds. Her symptoms were often so strong that she had absolutely no energy and could hardly move. In 1974, Ludwig created a small magnetic pulser, imitating the Earth’s magnetic fields. It was a small hand-held box, which emitted the Schumann frequency of 7.83 hertz.
Then, something amazing happened — as soon as his mother applied the device to her solar plexus or on the back of her neck, the symptoms disappeared. It was then suggested by Australian electrical engineer Lewis B. Hainsworth, among others, that human health is related to geophysical parameters, and that variations in these naturally occurring patterns can produce mild to disastrous health and behavioral changes in human beings. “In particular, the alpha brain rhythm is so placed that it can in no circumstances suffer an extensive interference from naturally occurring signals,” Hainsworth asserted. He and others later documented this relationship in different experiments.
We are immersed in a complex system of frequencies (Wix pic).
Notably, Professor R. Wever from the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Physiology in Erling-Andechs, built an underground bunker that completely screened out magnetic fields. Between 1964 and 1989, this bunker was used to conduct 418 studies in 447 human volunteers. Student volunteers lived for four weeks in this hermetically closed environment. Professor Wever observed that the students’ circadian rhythms diverged and that they suffered emotional distress and migraine headaches. Since they were young and healthy, no serious health conditions appeared, but older people or people with a weak immune system would have probably had a different response. After only a brief exposure to 7.83 hertz (the frequency which had been taken out), the volunteers’ health stabilized again. The first astronauts and cosmonauts who, out in space, were no longer exposed to the Schumann waves reported similar symptoms.
Electromagnetic fields may be perceived as dynamic entities that cause other charges and currents to move, and are also affected by them. Because electromagnetic fields embody or store patterns of information, they become a connecting bridge between matter and resonant patterns. It is possible that the Shuman resonance signals, the natural electromagnetic patterns of the Earth, act like a tuning fork not just for the biological oscillators of the brain but for all processes of life.

The bridge that connects resonances and brain frequencies resides in our DNA helix, which has developed for millions of years in the Earth’s environment. Dr. Luc Antoine Montagnier, who won the Nobel Prize in physiology and is known for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus, discovered something that could give a clue as to how this happens. Although not entirely satisfactory to the research community, his experiments touch upon a fundamental question about our DNA, the nature of life itself and the frequency of the planet. This can also explain the relation among frequencies and music as channel to connect with the universe: this connection between music and religion can be found across many different religions such as Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Since ancient times, religious ceremonies and worship have always involved music and this has been evidenced by traditions across different cultures and geographic regions. Religions have undergone significant changes since its founding. The associated musical traditions are emblematic of the diverse musical practices originating from religion. For example, bronze instruments from Indonesia are used in Hindu meditative music, while Christian music incorporates musical elements including but not limited to the Gregorian chants, Russian Orthodox choir, rock band music. Even across the same religious traditions, there are divergent musical practices from different regions around the world. Our ability to resonate with the Earth connects us to a transcendent healing energy. It helps to restore and stabilize bioelectrical circuitry, benefiting the organs and overall physiology. Activating the natural current or Qi flowing through our bodies with applied sound (vis a vis Ohm) can reduce inflammation, boost self-healing mechanisms, reduce pain and improve sleep. Individuals and healthcare practitioners can access this dynamic and therapeutic vibratory force through the voice (chanting, mantras, song), the contemplative arts (meditation, listening, observation) and through physical contact (application of bowls, acupuncture needles, tuning forks) and activity (yoga, tai chi, hiking).
The scientific community began connecting the dots between the type of music played and the variety of physical effects on the human body.
After all the very concept of “beat” is what keeps beings alive: a normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute. A lower heartbeat rate can be also reached via relaxation and deep meditation. Soothing sounds can help reach this level of intense relaxation: “Solfeggio frequencies” refer to specific tones of sound that help with and promote various aspects of body and mind health. These frequencies are reputed to date back to ancient history and said to be the fundamental sounds used in both Western Christianity and Eastern Indian religions, chanted by the Gregorian Monks and in ancient Indian Sanskrit chants.

Physician and researcher, Dr. Joseph Puleo, rediscovered Solfeggio frequencies in the 1970s, bringing their benefits back into public awareness. In his research, he used mathematical numeral reduction to identify six measurable tones that bring the body back into balance and aid in healing. These Solfeggio frequencies were believed to profoundly affect the conscious and subconscious mind in order to stimulate healing and promote vitality. Thanks to Puleo’s work and the renewed interest, many scientists have since unearthed more evidence supporting the positive effects that these frequencies have on the human body. The scientific community began connecting the dots between the type of music played and the variety of physical effects on the human body. In 1988, biochemist Dr. Glen Rein a discovery that confirmed what the ancient spiritual traditions understood when he tested the impact of different music on human DNA.

Rein exposed similar DNA vials to four kinds of music with different frequencies – Gregorian chants, Sanskrit chants, classical, and rock. By measuring the rate of UV light absorption, an essential function of healthy DNA, Rein was able to assess the effects of each type of music. And the results will make you reconsider the type of music you listen to when you want to relax. The Gregorian and Sanskrit chants had the most positive, even healing, effects by increasing UV light absorption between 5 to 9 percent. The classical music increased UV absorption by small amounts. And rock music decreased UV light absorption, harming the DNA. Rein’s research supported the theory that sound frequencies do produce serious effects, for better or worse, on health and well-being. Since Rein’s illuminating discovery, further research has come to light that shows Solfe.
