Our world is filled with vibrations, each with a specific frequency measured in Hertz (Hz). Interestingly, these frequencies can interact with our bodies in surprising ways. When it comes to anxiety and stress, specific sound frequencies have been shown to have a calming effect.
Here's how it works: When we listen to a particular frequency, it can create a phenomenon called entrainment. This means that our brainwaves begin to synchronize with the rhythm of the sound.
Certain frequencies, like 174 Hz, fall within the range associated with relaxation and calmness. As our brainwaves entrain to these slower frequencies, our overall brain activity quiets down, leading to a reduction in stress hormones and a promotion of relaxation.This doesn't mean blasting any random sound will do the trick. Research suggests specific frequencies like 174 Hz, Alpha waves (7.8 Hz to 13.2 Hz), and Theta waves (4 Hz to 7.8 Hz) have a more targeted impact on anxiety and stress reduction.
