Sound Healing
& Why I Use Healing Sound Frequencies
Healing frequencies are specific sound vibrations,
measured in Hertz (Hz)
They affect your brainwaves and nervous system in a positive way.
These frequencies go deeper, helping your brain and body return to a natural state of balance.
This is How It Works
When you listen to sound (yes, any sound), your brain and body respond.
Research shows that sound and music can influence your emotions, breathing, heart rate, energy level, and nervous-system activity. Slow, calming, or meditative sounds can help support a more relaxed physical and mental state.
They gently guide your brain into a specific state, like:
Alpha waves
(8–12 Hz)
Calm focus and relaxation
Theta waves
(4–8 Hz)
Deep meditation and subconscious healing
Delta waves
(0.5–4 Hz)
Deep sleep and body restoration
Solfeggio tones
(like 528 Hz)
Often called the “love frequency,”
used for emotional release and cellular healing
When these frequencies play in the background
your brain naturally follows along, this is called
brainwave entrainment (read more).
It’s like manually tuning your inner system
to the right station for healing

Why does Sound Healing work?
Effect of Specific Hz Sounds on the Endocrine System and Autonomic Nervous System
One of the published studies in the Journal Health found that music tuned to 528 Hz has measurable stress-reducing effects on the body and mind, even after just five minutes of listening.
In the study, participants listened to music tuned to 528 Hz and standard 440 Hz on different days. The researchers measured stress hormones like cortisol and chromogranin A, and the “feel-good” hormone oxytocin, using saliva samples. They also tracked changes in the autonomic nervous system (which controls your heart rate, breathing, and relaxation).
Key Findings:
-
Cortisol (stress hormone) dropped after listening to 528 Hz
-
Oxytocin (the love/trust hormone) increased
-
Participants reported less anxiety and a better mood
-
Changes in heart rate variability showed deep nervous system relaxation
-
These benefits did not occur with 440 Hz music
What This Means:
Music tuned to 528 Hz may activate your body’s natural healing systems—calming the nervous system, lowering stress, and supporting emotional well-being.
That’s why I custom-tune and layer these healing frequencies into your personalized ILIT recordings—to help you relax deeper, heal faster, and feel better from the inside out.
Conclusion:
We found that music of different frequencies had different effects on the endocrine system, especially oxytocin and cortisol. Our findings suggest that 528 Hz music reduces stress even if participants listen to the music for only a short time.
