Anxiety, depression, and stress levels are on the rise after the past few years of trauma. Loved ones and jobs are being lost contributing to the heavy amounts of tension in the air. As our world and population try to make a comeback from the difficult times we have been faced with, many are resulting towards new healing modalities. Originating from Eastern medicine, healing frequencies of sound are being used to create a harmony in the mind and body.

      This ancient tactic provides us with a holistic way of approaching severe stress mentally and emotionally. As this healing modality becomes more normalized, here are some key points to know.

What are healing frequencies?

      Healing frequencies are a specific type of sound wave therapy that work with your brain wave states. Each vibration of sound carries a different frequency that we measure in Hertz (Hz). These Hz frequencies resonate with different states of your brain’s frequency inducing an altered state of relaxation to the mind and body.
