396 Hz: Letting Go of Guilt and Fear
396 Hz clears guilt, fear, and emotional weight held deep in the body. Use this frequency to gently dissolve subconscious blocks and move toward emotional freedom.
A frequency for emotional freedom and release.
What is 396 Hz?
396 Hz is one of the most emotionally liberating tones in the Solfeggio scale. Known for its power to dissolve guilt, fear, and shame, this frequency doesn’t just ease the emotional body — it targets the subconscious root of those feelings.
In many energy systems, fear and guilt are considered low-density vibrations that anchor us to trauma, self-sabotage, or inherited emotional programming. 396 Hz acts as a clearing current — a vibrational broom that gently sweeps away what no longer serves.
The Healing Power of 396 Hz
This frequency is often used to support:
- Releasing guilt, shame, and regret
- Soothing fear-based tension in the body
- Healing emotional trauma from childhood or ancestral roots
- Empowering forward motion after feeling stuck or burdened
- Grounding into safety after overwhelming change
Some say 396 Hz resonates directly with the root chakra, addressing survival fears and body-based memory.
But this isn’t just about energy centres — it’s about energetic freedom. And sometimes that starts by letting go of what’s been silently held for years.
How 396 Hz Works (Energetically)
Fear, guilt, and shame tend to anchor themselves below language — in the fascia, breath, and body memory. They can feel permanent, heavy, or even justified. But frequency doesn’t reason. It simply vibrates.
396 Hz is like a sonic permission slip — saying, “You can put this down now.”
Through entrainment and harmonic resonance, this tone can:
- Gently dislodge emotional stagnation
- Interrupt fear-based thought loops
- Invite the nervous system back into safety
- Restore self-trust and energetic integrity
It works best when not forced — just received.
When to Use 396 Hz
Try this tone when you:
- Feel shame or guilt that won’t shift
- Are haunted by past decisions or words
- Feel heavy for reasons you can’t explain
- Struggle with worthiness or “deserving” feelings
- Want to reclaim power from fear or regret
It’s especially potent during emotional processing, shadow work, or after therapy, when integration and energetic release are needed.

- Use headphones or surround speakers if possible.

Emotional Alchemy Ritual with 396 Hz
🜃 The Stone Ritual
Time: 10–20 minutes
- Sit or lie down. Begin playing 396 Hz.
- Hold a small stone or crystal in your hand.
- Close your eyes. Breathe into your belly.
- Imagine your guilt, fear, or shame being pulled from your body into the stone.
- When you feel ready, place the stone down and walk away — as if you're leaving it behind.
- Drink water and rest.
With each breath, whisper:
I release. I allow. I return to peace.
Energetic Roots of Guilt and Fear
Guilt and fear don’t always belong to you.
They might be:
- Inherited from family systems
- Programmed through religion or culture
- Imprinted by past trauma
- Trapped by unexpressed emotion
396 Hz helps create a gap — a vibrational opening — where you can feel them… but no longer be them.
The Foundational Tone
In the Solfeggio scale, 396 Hz is one of the most foundational tones. It doesn’t ascend. It grounds. It reminds the body of what it’s like to be safe enough to let go.
It doesn't push. It frees.
It doesn’t teach. It undoes.
It doesn’t bypass. It invites release.
Sometimes, healing begins not by adding more — but by gently subtracting what was never yours.
Final Thoughts
396 Hz is the first harmonic of emotional alchemy.
It works not by blasting through blockages, but by softening them until they dissolve.
It’s for those ready to stop carrying burdens, even sacred ones.
It’s for the quiet exhale that follows forgiveness, especially forgiveness of self.
It’s for anyone who’s held on long enough.
