Long associated with meditation music the solfeggio frequencies are reputed to be the original frequencies used by the
Gregorian Monks when they chanted in meditation. The chant, based on the original six notes (396hz – 417hz – 528hz – 639hz –
741hz – 852hz), penetrates deep into the conscious and subconscious mind, drawing forth emotional reactions which we are
sometimes unable to completely control. These original frequencies are said to have been ‘lost’ over the centuries with the
introduction of various new tuning methods.
The Solfeggio scale was ‘rediscovered’ by Dr. Joseph Barber who said to have been guided intuitively to find a pattern of six
repeating codes in the Book of Numbers. He found in Chapter 7, verses 12 through 83; number references that, when deciphered
using a numerological technique, could be reduced to a single digit. This revealed a series of six electromagnetic sound
frequencies which he determined to be the six missing tones of the ancient Solfeggio scale.
Why where the original frequencies tuning
system lost?
The Solfeggio frequencies were lost because throughout history different tuning applications have been
used. Ancient tuning practices used a system of tuning known as “Just Intonation.” The method of Just
Intonation featured pure intervals between every note that was mathematically related by ratios of small
whole numbers leading to a much purer sound.
The tuning practice adopted for western cultures from about the 16th century and used today is known
as “Twelve-Tone Equal Temperament.” According to Joachim Ernst-Berendt, the 12-Tone Equal
Temperament mistunes all consonant intervals except the octave. Our modern scale can create situations
such as ‘boxed-in’ thinking, stuffed and suppressed emotions, fear-based or lack consciousness, all of
which then tend to manifest into physical symptoms called ‘dis-ease’ or disease.
Our modern-day musical scale is out of sync when compared with the original Solfeggio scale. If we
want to bring harmony into our lives, we need to replace the dissonant western scale with a web of
subtle and clear intervallic relationships of the Solfeggio music. Let the music become once again a tool
to raise human nature and a method to connect you with the Source.
