Tuning Forks and Breathwork: A Powerful Duo for Deep Healing

Why Combine Tuning Forks and Breathwork?

In our always-on world, finding stillness can feel out of reach. Yet, within moments of tuning into your breath—and sound—something shifts. A doorway opens.

Combining tuning forks with breathwork brings together two time-honored practices into one deeply nourishing ritual. The vibrations of sound harmonize with your breath to calm the nervous system, shift stagnant energy, and bring you home to yourself.

We’ve seen this synergy bring people from anxious and overwhelmed to grounded and present—all in just a few breaths.

The Science of Breath and Vibration

When we breathe with intention and pair it with sound, our body listens.

• Tuning forks vibrate at precise frequencies, sending subtle waves through the body that release tension and support energetic balance.

• Breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the stress response and anchoring us in the present moment.

Together, they foster coherence—a state where the mind, body, and emotions align. In this space, healing happens more easily, and clarity naturally arises.

Choosing the Right Frequencies for Breathwork

Our Resonance Tuning Fork Starter Set includes four intentionally selected forks, each harmonizing with different breath styles and intentions:

Weighted Forks – For Deep Body Awareness

• 128 Hz – Grounds and calms. Ideal for starting your practice.

• 136.1 Hz (Om) – Aligns with Earth’s resonance; supports deep meditation and mindful breathing.

Unweighted Forks – For Emotional Clarity

• 256 Hz – Sharpens focus and encourages stillness.

• 384 Hz – Uplifts the mind and clears lingering mental fog.

Try pairing:

• 128 Hz with Box Breathing

• 136.1 Hz with 4-7-8 Breathing

• 256 Hz with Alternate Nostril

• 384 Hz with Energizing Breath (like Wim Hof)

Try This: A 5-Minute Grounding Ritual

What You’ll Need:

• A quiet, comfortable space

• Your tuning forks

• A timer or soft background music (optional)

Step 1 – Set an Intention
Begin seated. Close your eyes. Choose a word or feeling to anchor (peace, clarity, release).

Step 2 – Grounding
Strike the 128 Hz fork and place it on your chest or sternum.

Step 3 – Breathe Deeply
Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat 5 times.

Step 4 – Elevate
Switch to 136.1 Hz. Move the fork gently around your head in a figure-eight motion. Practice circular breathing (in and out through the nose, no pauses).

Step 5 – Rest
Sit quietly for 1-2 minutes. Let the energy integrate.

This simple practice can be your reset button any time the world feels too loud.

 

When to Reach for Sound + Breath

This calming combination is especially helpful:

• After a long day

• Before meditation or sleep

• During moments of overwhelm

• Prior to creative projects or meetings

• As a weekly or daily ritual of care

Even five minutes can create a meaningful shift. No expertise required—just your breath and your willingness to tune in.
