What is 174 Hz? How This Frequency Calms the Body and Subconscious Mind
Have you ever found yourself drawn to certain sounds or music that instantly calms your energy? If so, you're not imagining it.
Sounds carry frequency, and frequency affects the nervous system.
One of the most grounding and gentle healing tones is the 174 Hz.
I just release a video using this frequency for subconscious healing, and in this post, I'll break down exactly how it works.
When I started doing a deep dive on frequencies, I was intrigued my how each one affected my energy. That curiosity sparked the idea for Rewire and Shine.
174 Hz is one of my favorite calming frequencies. The first time I listened to it, I took a deep breath and really let it wash over me. I felt so much more calm and centered.

What is 174 Hz?
174 Hz is known as the pain relief and calming frequency in sound healing. It's the lowest tone in the Solfeggio frequency scale and is associated with:
Deep grounding
Physical and emotional pain relief
Nervous system regulation
A sense of safety, stability, and energetic rest
This frequency is often used to help reduce stress, soothe anxiety, and create a peaceful state for healing on a subconscious level.
For me, 174 Hz is ideal when I am feeling stress or anxiety. I also love it when I just need to unplug from technology and regroup, when I want to get back in touch with who I am. We all can use that in today's fast-moving world.
How 174 Hz Supports Subconscious Rewiring
Sound healing isn’t just about relaxation, it’s about re-patterning the nervous system and creating space for your subconscious to receive new messages.
When you listen to 174 Hz, it helps shift your brain and body into a safe, receptive state.
This is where true rewiring begins.
In this state, your mind is more open to:
Letting go of fear-based thought loops
Receiving new affirmations or beliefs
Releasing emotional and energetic tension stored in the body
It’s especially powerful when paired with breathwork, journaling, visualization, or even stillness.
The simplicity of the tone invites your entire system to soften, and that softening opens the door for change.
When listening to 174 Hz, I either rest with my eyes closed, or do some relaxing visualization work, which always gives me such a sense of peace.
Why I Created This Video
When I started using sound frequencies in my own life, I realized how much they helped me pause and reconnect with myself, even on the most overwhelming days.
I was so excited to create this 174 Hz video as a gentle, calming space for you to return to. It feels like my way of saying thank you, and giving back some of what I have learned to help others hopefully feel the same sense of grounding.
Whether you are looking to feel more centered, regulate your energy, or just take a break from all the noise of life, I hope this helps you do exactly that.
Feel free to return to this video anytime you need a calm reset.
