What Are the 8 Healing Frequencies?

A Scale of Solfeggio-Related Tones from 396Hz to 963Hz

Whether you're new to sound healing instruments or a seasoned practitioner, understanding frequencies deepens your practice. The 8 frequencies in ZenBowl are derived from studio recordings of 8 distinct traditional singing bowls, each selected by a professional sound healer.

Are These Frequencies Scientifically Proven?

Emerging Research Supports Subjective Benefits

According to a 2021 study in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine, low-frequency sound stimulation (40–100Hz) increased heart rate variability by 23%. While specific healing frequency claims require more research, 87% of ZenBowl users report selecting different frequencies for different emotional states. (NDLT 2025 User Behavior Study) Unlike generic calminity frequency machine devices that synthesize artificial tones, ZenBowl delivers authentic singing bowl recordings — making it a true sound healing instrument rather than just another calming device.
