Relaxation

About this intention

Relaxation here is about reducing demand on your attention. A steady tone with no rhythm, no lyric and no surprise gives the ear something simple to rest against — which many listeners find loosens the shoulders long before anything mystical is involved.

Why these frequencies

The pairings below come from Solfeggio teaching, modern wellness practice and the plain character of each pitch. They are cultural and experiential associations — described as they are practised, not as measured effects.

  A mid-register tone traditionally linked with warmth and ease between people.
