The 128 Hz tuning fork is one of the most widely used and trusted frequencies in sound therapy and tuning fork practice. Known for its grounding, calming and deeply regulating effects, 128 Hz works directly with the body, nervous system and biofield, making it an essential tool for both practitioners and personal wellbeing.

What Is a 128 Hz Tuning Fork?

The 128 Hz frequency sits within the low-frequency range, allowing vibration to travel deeply through the body. Unlike higher frequencies that primarily influence mental or energetic states, 128 Hz has a strong somatic effect, meaning it is felt physically as well as energetically.

This frequency is commonly used in:

• Sound therapy and vibrational healing
• Nervous system regulation practices
• Body-based relaxation and grounding work
• Practitioner sessions and self-care routines

Key Features of the 128 Hz Tuning Fork

• Low, grounding frequency that resonates deeply through the body
• Available as a weighted tuning fork, enhancing vibrational transmission
• Produces a steady, calming tone that is easy to work with
• Suitable for both professional practice and personal use
• Can be applied on or off the body, depending on intention 

Weighted 128 Hz tuning forks are particularly valued for body-based work, as the added weight allows vibration to travel efficiently through bones, joints and soft tissue. – especially with a tuning fork boot attached.

Benefits of Working with 128 Hz

Nervous System Regulation

128 Hz supports the body in shifting out of stress and survival states. The slow, steady vibration encourages parasympathetic activation, helping calm the nervous system and reduce feelings of overwhelm, anxiety and agitation. Excellent when used in conjuction with Audio sessions and Online workshop tunings.

Improved Relaxation & Sleep

By calming neural activity and reducing muscular tension, 128 Hz can support deeper relaxation and improved sleep quality. Many people find it helpful as part of an evening wind-down or bedtime routine.

Easing Physical Tension & Discomfort

This frequency is commonly used to support the release of physical tension, particularly in areas such as:

• Jaw and neck
• Shoulders and spine
• Hips and lower back

The vibration can help interrupt pain signalling pathways and encourage the body into a state of ease.

Grounding & Embodiment

128 Hz helps bring awareness back into the body, making it ideal for grounding practices, emotional regulation and embodiment work — especially for those who tend to overthink or feel ungrounded.

Common Uses of the 128 Hz Tuning Fork

Assisting Lymph Flow

The tuning fork may be used to support Lymphatic Drainage by gliding the fork along the lymphatic pathways.

In the Biofield

Used off the body, 128 Hz can help balance the vibration in the biofield, creating a sense of safety and energetic coherence.
