THE COMPLETE SOS DEEP DIVE SOLFEGGIO BEGINNER’S GUIDE

By Cristie Shoemaker | Serenity One Sanctuary

✧ WELCOME TO YOUR FREQUENCY JOURNEY

A Message From Cristie

Beloved soul,

You are entering a world where sound is medicine, vibration is communication, and your body knows exactly how to receive healing when given the right frequency.

This tuning fork set — whether you chose the classic stainless steel or the colored anodized confection set — is so much more than a set of tools.

It is:

• a nervous system companion

• an emotional release ally

• a gateway into intuition

• a ritual of return

• a remembering of your ancient wisdom

In your hands is a modality that has been used for thousands of years — from monasteries to sound temples, indigenous healing to modern vibrational therapy.

This guide is not just a manual.

It’s a ceremony.

A true initiation.

Take your time with it.

Feel it.

Let it move through you.

Your frequency journey begins now.

✧ SECTION 1 — What Solfeggio Frequencies Actually Are

Most people think these forks are “just sounds.”

They’re not.

Solfeggio tones are mathematically precise frequencies that interact with:

• your nervous system

• your emotional body

• your subconscious

• your cellular matrix

• your energetic field

• your intuitive centers

• your sense of safety

Each frequency carries a specific intention — almost like an energetic instruction code your body can understand without language.

These frequencies work not through force but through resonance.

Your body hears the tone, recognizes the pattern, and begins to shift.

✧ SECTION 2 — Understanding How Sound Affects the Body

If you want to use tuning forks powerfully, you need to understand this one truth:

Your body is a symphony of vibration.

Your heartbeat, breath, cells, emotions — all vibrational.

When life is stressful, traumatic, or overwhelming, the body contracts, tightens, and holds.

Frequencies help unravel those patterns by:

✧ 1. Entrainment

Your system syncs with the fork’s frequency, pulling your energy out of chaos and into coherence.

✧ 2. Nervous System Regulation

Low frequencies calm the system.

Mid frequencies unlock emotion.

High frequencies awaken intuition.

✧ 3. Fascia + Fluid Movement

Your tissues literally carry memory.

Vibration softens that memory so it can move.

✧ 4. Energy Field Clearing

Sweeps dissolve stagnant emotional or energetic buildup around the body.

✧ 5. Emotional Release

Tuning forks access places where talk therapy can’t reach — especially stored or frozen emotion.

Sound doesn’t ask your mind to “figure it out.”

It gives your body permission to finally let go.

✧ SECTION 3 — How to Prepare for a Frequency Session

The quality of your experience is shaped by the space you create.

Here’s how to prepare beautifully:

✧ 1. Clear Your Space

Not energetically — physically.

A clear space signals safety.

✧ 2. Dim the Lights

Your nervous system softens in low light.

✧ 3. Choose a Comfortable Position

Sitting or lying — whatever allows you to relax.

✧ 4. Set an Intention

One sentence is enough:

“I allow this session to support me.”

✧ 5. Slow Your Breathing

Sound enters deeper when your breath is low and slow.

✧ 6. Have Water Nearby

Vibration moves energy; hydration supports the shift.

✧ 7. Come With Curiosity, Not Judgment

You don’t have to “do it right.”

You just have to show up.

✧SECTION 4 — How to Activate Your Forks (One Mallet Only)

Since this set comes with a single mallet, here’s the cleanest, easiest method:

✧ Step 1 — Hold the Stem

By Cristie Shoemaker | Serenity One Sanctuary

Never touch the prongs — that kills vibration.

✧ Step 2 — Strike One Prong

Tap it gently with the mallet head.

Not hard, not forceful — just enough to awaken the tone.

✧ Step 3 — Hear the Sound, Feel the Hum

A good strike feels like:

• steady vibration

• clear tone

• no harsh metallic clang

✧ Step 4 — Breathe

Let your breath sync with the tone.

✧ Step 5 — Begin Your Sweep

3–6 inches above the body or in the field.

This is where the magic begins.

✧SECTION 5 — How to Sweep the Energy Field (The True Technique)

✧SECTION 10 — On-Body vs. Off-Body Use

Here you give them clarity and safety.

OFF-BODY USE (3–6 inches above body):

✔ All sets

✔ All frequencies

✔ Sweeps

✔ Emotional and energetic work

ON-BODY USE (stem placed lightly on skin or clothing):

✔ The colored anodized set is safe for this

✔ Great for:

• physical pain

• muscle tension

• acupressure points

• grounding

• fascia releasing

✘ NOT recommended on classic stainless steel forks

(stem tips too sharp; can be uncomfortable)

Best on-body frequencies:

• 174 Hz

• 285 Hz

• 396 Hz

• 528 Hz

This is where the colored set gets its “bonus” value.

✧SECTION 11 — Safety, Sensitivity & Aftercare

Because this is a paid guide, you give them the gold-standard info.

Do Not Use Forks If:

• you have a metal allergy to stainless steel (rare)

• you place them directly on open skin wounds

• you strike them too hard and feel discomfort

What’s Normal After a Session:

• emotional release

• vivid dreams

• tiredness

• clarity

• deeper breathing

• warmth

• feeling lighter

• needing quiet

Aftercare Ritual:

• drink water

• rest

• journal

• avoid overstimulation

• spend time in low light

• gentle stretching

✧SECTION 12 — Full Closing Ritual

A beautiful ending to their first deep-dive.

Close your eyes…

Strike your chosen fork…

Hold it at your heart…

And whisper:

“My frequency is rising.

My body is softening.

I am becoming who I truly am.”

Let the tone fade.

Breathe once more.

Feel your energy settle.

You’re done.

✧ ADDENDUM: USING TUNING FORKS ON THE BODY

A deeper look at on-body vibration + how to safely adapt chrome sets with stoppers

When people begin working with tuning forks, they often start in the energy field — sweeping above the body, clearing space, softening emotion, and inviting the nervous system to unwind.

But there’s another layer of sound healing that goes even deeper:

On-body vibration.

This is where the tuning fork doesn’t just move through your aura —

it travels into your muscles, your fascia, your joints, the physical parts of you that carry memory and tension.

On-body work is slow, grounding, and incredibly effective for:

• stored survival tension

• stubborn muscle holding

• TMJ

• hip tightness

• low back discomfort

• grief in the chest

• fear in the belly

• emotional release that needs physical support

• grounding if you dissociate or float out of body

• deep nervous system recalibration

It’s a completely different experience —

one that feels intimate, comforting, and profoundly somatic.

✧ COLORED ANODIZED SETS

Why these work beautifully for on-body vibration

The colored anodized sets have smooth, rounded stems that make them naturally comfortable for placement directly on the skin or clothing.

Their vibration transfers through muscle and fascia with a warm, soothing quality.

This allows you to:

• rest the stem on the hips, throat edges, palms, rib cage, temples, low back

• melt tension through vibration

• work into acupressure and meridian points

• support emotional release stored in tissue

• ground the nervous system through direct contact

• feel the frequency travel through the body in real time

It’s gentle, deep, and incredibly grounding.

✧ FOR CHROME / STAINLESS STEEL SETS

How to make them safe and comfortable for on-body use

Traditional chrome or stainless steel tuning forks can be used on the body —

they just need one small upgrade:

✧ rubber or silicone stoppers.

These slide onto the foot of the fork and instantly:

• round the metal tip

• make the fork comfortable on skin

• soften the intensity of the vibration

• allow the sound to travel more deeply through tissue

• prevent sharp metal contact

Once the stoppers are added, the chrome set becomes fully capable of:

• acupressure vibration

• fascia release

• on-body grounding work

• pain relief holds

• emotional unwinding through physical contact

It’s a simple modification that opens the door to an entirely new way of working with frequency.

✧ WHY ON-BODY VIBRATION FEELS DIFFERENT

When a tuning fork is placed directly on the body, the vibration travels through:

• fascia

• nerve pathways

• meridians

• muscles

• bone conduction

• the water in your tissues

This creates sensations you may notice as:

• pulsing

• spreading warmth

• tingling

• pressure lifting

• breath deepening

• emotional softening

• sudden clarity or release

It is common — and beautiful — to feel tears, yawns, trembling, or sighing.

The body is letting go of what it finally feels safe to release.

✧ BEST FREQUENCIES FOR ON-BODY USE

While you can technically use any fork on the body (with stoppers for chrome sets), the ones that tend to feel the most supportive are:

✧ 174 Hz

Deep grounding, pain relief, muscular softening.

✧ 285 Hz

Tissue repair, fascia healing, cellular regeneration.

✧ 396 Hz

Releasing fear, unwinding bracing patterns in the hips + belly.

✧ 528 Hz

Heart healing, opening the emotional body, softening grief.

✧ 852 Hz (temples only)

Intuition activation through gentle cranio-sacral style placement.

Each frequency has its own “voice” in the body.

✧ A SIMPLE ON-BODY RITUAL

If you want a gentle invitation into this style of tuning:

1. 174 Hz on the soles of the feet

Feel the grounding.

2. 285 Hz on the lower belly

Let the vibration repair + settle.

3. 396 Hz on the ribs or hips

Release what your body has been bracing against.

4. 528 Hz on the center of the chest

Soften the heart.

5. 852 Hz on the temples or held in palms

Invite clarity and intuition.

This sequence works like a somatic meditation —

a journey through the layers of self.

✧ WHY THIS MATTERS

Sound healing isn’t about tools —

it’s about access.

On-body vibration opens the places we don’t always know how to reach:

the places where fear sits,

where grief curls itself tight,

where tension clamps down,

where memory lives,

where survival patterns grip the body long after the danger has passed.

Whether you’re using a colored set or a chrome set with stoppers,

this bonus layer of tuning fork work invites you to meet your body more deeply —

with consciousness, gentleness, and permission.

It’s another way of saying to yourself:

“You can let go now.

You are safe here.”
