More Than Vibration—A Healing Language
Everything at its most basic level emits a vibration and frequency. We learned early on in school that our cells are mostly empty space, with atoms vibrating so fast they appear solid. Similarly, sounds also emit their own frequency vibration. They can travel through air, water, AND your body.
That explains why for millennia, humans have used various sounds to calm the mind, shift emotions, and support physical healing—from Gregorian chants to singing bowls to the hum of OM.
Let’s explore how sound frequency truly affects the brain and body! Prepare to have your mind BLOWN!
Sound Alters Brainwave States
What Are Brain waves?
Your brain emits electrical patterns—known as brain waves—that correlate with different states of consciousness. When they’re balanced, these brain waves produce:
- Alpha (8–12 Hz): Calm, focused, meditative
- Theta (4–7 Hz): Creativity, intuition, dreamlike
- Delta (0.5–3 Hz): Deep sleep, regeneration
- Beta (13–30 Hz): Alert, problem-solving
- Gamma (30+ Hz): Peak cognition, flow states
Everything emits its own frequency and vibration, and because sound is no different, we can choose specific frequencies to vibrate near our bodies, and therefore influence the vibrations IN OUR BODY!
Binaural beats and tonal frequencies can help “entrain” your brainwaves—gently guiding them into states ideal for sleep, meditation, or clarity.
Activating the Vagus Nerve with Sound
The vagus nerve is a master regulator of your body’s rest and relaxation system. And it RESPONDS to sound! Especially by using low-frequency tones like humming, chanting, or Tibetan bowls— you can stimulate this nerve and bring your body into a parasympathetic state! The vagus nerve also connects your brain to your gut, heart, and lungs—so when it’s stimulated, your whole body truly feels it.
Benefits include:
🧠 Lower heart rate and blood pressure
🧠 Reduced inflammation
🧠 Improved digestion🧠 Emotional balance
Sound and Emotional Healing
Music and tone bypass the thinking mind and go straight to the emotional brain—the limbic system. This is why certain tones can make you cry without warning, or a chant can bring peace beyond words. Sound becomes a bridge between what you feel and what you know, guiding integration and healing.
What It Helps With:
🌀 Reduces cortisol (stress hormone)
🌀 Promotes emotional release without needing to talk🌀 Helps regulate mood and energy
🌀 Improves sleep and nervous system tone
