Ancient tones for the modern mind.
Discover what each frequency does and how brainwave pairing deepens the experience.
The Solfeggio scale dates back to early sacred music traditions. Each tone resonates at a specific vibration believed to influence the body, mind, and emotional state in different ways.
When combined with brainwave frequencies Alpha, Theta, Delta these tones become more than sound. They become an experience.
Solfeggio frequencies are a set of tones drawn from early sacred music traditions, each traditionally associated with a particular quality such as grounding, release or connection. This guide covers ten tones: the nine Solfeggio frequencies (174, 285, 396, 417, 528, 639, 741, 852 and 963 Hz) plus 432 Hz, an alternative concert tuning that is commonly grouped with them. They are used as a way to choose what to listen to, not as a medical treatment.
Each meditation layers a Solfeggio tone over a brainwave frequency in the delta (0.5–4 Hz), theta (4–8 Hz) or alpha (8–13 Hz) range. The Solfeggio tone sets the character of the sound; the brainwave layer sets the pace. For example, 174 Hz is paired with delta at 2 Hz for winding down, while 528 Hz is paired with alpha at 10 Hz for calm, alert attention.
If you are new to this, start with 528 Hz — it is the most widely known tone and the easiest to sit with. If your goal is sleep, start with 174 Hz paired with delta; if your goal is focus during creative work, start with 741 Hz. There is no required order, and the pairings below are suggestions rather than prescriptions.

The lowest tone in the Solfeggio set. It is traditionally associated with grounding and a sense of physical ease, and many listeners reach for it when they want to feel settled in the body rather than in the head. In our sessions it works as a sonic foundation — a low, steady floor to return to.
In the Solfeggio tradition this tone is associated with restoration and renewal. Practitioners describe it as a tone of returning to a natural baseline, and listeners often use it on slow days when the intention is rest rather than effort.
Traditionally associated with letting go of heavy feelings — guilt, fear, grief. Listeners use it when something needs to be set down rather than solved, and it is often paired with slow breathing to give a difficult emotion somewhere to go.
A tone traditionally associated with change and fresh starts. Listeners use it during transitions — the end of something, the uncertain middle, the beginning of something else — when old patterns feel heavier than they should.
Often called Verdi's A, 432 Hz is an alternative concert tuning to the standard 440 Hz. Many musicians and listeners report that music tuned this way feels warmer and calmer, which is why it is a common choice for ambient and meditative recordings.
The best known tone in the Solfeggio set, traditionally nicknamed the Miracle Tone. It is widely associated with warmth and openness, and it is the frequency listeners most often ask for by name. We use it in heart-centred sessions where the intention is softness rather than effort.
Traditionally associated with connection and understanding between people. Listeners use it before conversations that matter, or after ones that did not go well, as a way to settle before re-engaging.
Traditionally associated with clearing and self-expression. Listeners use it when they want mental clutter to settle and words to come more easily, which makes it a common choice for writing, making and problem-solving sessions.
Traditionally linked to inner vision and perspective — seeing a situation as it is rather than as it feels. Listeners use it in longer, quieter sessions where the aim is reflection rather than relaxation.
The highest tone in the Solfeggio set, traditionally called the frequency of the gods and associated with the crown chakra. In practice it is used to close a session — a bright, open tone for the last few minutes of a longer sit.
