The ten frequencies / 285 Hz
285 Hz
The frequency of restoration
Your body knows how to heal. It simply needs the conditions.
One of the three tones added to the original six Solfeggio frequencies.
What it is for
Your body repairs itself every night, and most of that work happens in the deepest stages of sleep. Many people sleep enough hours and still wake unrestored, because a body under constant stress spends too little time down there.
285 Hz is the tone I use for that territory: the body that has been running on empty and needs permission to turn its resources inward. It is not a frequency of big shifts or strong emotion. It is quieter than that.
What it can feel like
It takes more stillness to notice than 174 Hz. When it lands, it is usually a soft warmth inside, often in the belly or the chest, a sense of being looked after from within. It is the frequency of patience with yourself.
Everyone’s body answers in its own way. Notice what yours does rather than looking for what someone else described.
What the research says
The tradition says 285 Hz restores tissue. That has never been tested in people, and I will not claim it. Medical ultrasound does change what cells do, but it works at millions of cycles per second, delivered into the body, which is a very different thing from a tone you can hear.
So I describe 285 Hz the way I use it: not as a treatment, but as an environment for recovery. Something calm and steady to rest inside while your body does what it already knows how to do.
What the research shows about sound, breath and frequencyHow I use it
- Always after at least five minutes of 174 Hz.
- Fifteen to thirty minutes in the evening, lying down.
- Through long stretches of stress or recovery, as a way to give rest your full attention.
Headphones carry the tone best. Never while driving.

A question to take with you
What part of your body has been carrying something for a long time that it has never been invited to put down?
From Chapter 12 of Frequency Shift, which goes deeper into this frequency.
Before you can heal anything, you have to feel safe enough to try.
