HISTORY OF THE SOLFEGGIOS
The Solfeggio frequencies are reputed to date back to ancient times and said to be the fundamental sounds used in both Western Christianity and Eastern Indian religions. The original six Solfeggio notes were used in chants by monks. The scale was lost by the 16th century and was rediscovered in the 1970s. Sound can rouse contemplative action and facilitate diligent focus. It is powerful, but also fleeting. Constant in its impermanence, it can be a reminder that this moment is just that — only a moment.  And, of course, there is silence, the space in which sound exists. Inner stillness is the space in which thoughts are perceived.   Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, such as air or water, and are detected by our ears as sound. The frequency of a sound wave is the number of vibrations per second, measured in Hertz (Hz). The frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound we hear; high frequency sound waves produce high pitched sounds, while low frequency sound waves produce low pitched sounds. The relationship between sound waves and sound frequencies is that the frequency of a sound wave is determined by the number of vibrations per second produced by the source of the sound. For example, if a tuning fork is vibrating at a given frequency, it would produce sound waves that oscillate at that same frequency.
