I have talked in previous posts about sound healing. Sound healing tools like singing bowls and tuning forks have gained in popularity lately, partly due to more research being done on their healing properties becoming more readily accessible to the public. There are many books on this topic, from basics like Sound Healing for Beginners by Joshua Goldman and Alec W. Sims (filled with plenty of research backed information), to Tuning the Human Biofuels by Eileen Day McKusick. These are just two good examples, there are so many more.
 
I want to preface this blog post by saying that it is NEVER ok to place a vibrating tuning fork, singing bowls, tingsha, or any other vibration tool next to your ear. Even when you cannot hear it, it can still cause damage to your ear and possibly cause hearing damage and/or loss. I have seen several videos lately with people talking about/showcasing tuning forks where they do this. I cannot stress enough how dangerous this is.
 
I would also like to point out the difference between weighted and non-weighted tuning forks. The weighted tuning forks have knobs at the end of the forks. These ones are pressed against the relevant body parts (on chakras or acupressure points, meridians, above organs, etc..) to facilitate healing. The non-weighted forks are used within the body’s aura/energetic field. They can also be placed above or near the relevant chakra, Meridian, etc..
 
Each tuning fork/singing bowl/etc.. has it’s own frequency, and therefore, its own healing properties. There are many to choose from for varying purposes. One can purchase individual vibrational instruments, or complete sets, such as Chakra sets or the Solfeggio set. While many of the available frequencies focus on healing particular physical or energetic issues, there are some that are used for more general tasks like aligning oneself with certain states or cleansing/clearing.
 
One such frequency is the Ohm frequency 136.1Hz. This one is considered Earth’s orbital frequency and aligns one with the natural cosmic vibration, creating a universal connection. This one resonates at the vibration that occurs when ohm is chanted during meditation. There are actually three Ohm frequencies., this first one being the mid-ohm. The other two are the low-ohm (68.05Hz) associated with deep grounding, emotional release, and facilitates the opening of energetic pathways. The third one is high-ohm (272.2Hz), that is associated with aligning one with their highest potential, bringing in clarity and purpose, facilitating a connection with one’s highest self, and clearing karmic imprints, blockages, and energetic debris (to name a few things).
 
Energetic clearing is another use for these frequency tools. Whether that is clearing a physical space, a person, or an object there are a few options. 417Hz is generally used to clear negative energies, either past or present, and undo negative situations. 741Hz is often used to remove both emotional or physical toxins. 963Hz is associated with purifying a physical space or body, the spiritual body, and to attract positive energy. If you are looking to specifically cleanse a crystal, there is a 4096Hz crystal tuner made for the job. It is also used to enhance the energetic properties of said crystals. While this is its main job, it is also associated with rebalancing chakras and creating a connection between Earth and higher spiritual realms, which is why it is also referred to as the Earth Angel Frequency.
 
While there are many more frequency tools/tuners available for purchase, there are just too many to talk about in one blog post. You can find them in many metaphysical shops as well as online. The frequency Hz is usually stamped into the Y junction on a tuning fork. Singing bowls may be labeled according to either Hz or corresponding Chakra (quite popular), but are not usually stamped as such. Tingshas are not usually standardized to one frequency, though some modern ones may be attuned to certain frequencies like 528Hz. Whatever the type of healing you are searching for, there is a frequency and a tool for that.
 
Have you ever used a singing bowl or a tuning fork? Have you participated in a sound bath or had a healing done that incorporated one? (I do highly recommend experiencing this at least once, the results can be quite amazing).
Would you? I would love to know.
