Dear friends,

It is impossible to live in this world and not feel the weight of it. Whether there is grief or anger at the injustices of the world, or in having to let go of the life we thought we’d have, or relationships that may have burned us. Perhaps there is a sense of helplessness as we watch the world around us seemingly fall apart at the seams. These feelings are real, they are heavy and they must be felt. Cry it out, punch a pillow (one of my go-tos), but feel it with patience toward yourself and without judgement. To do this, we can turn to the medicine of music. I make this music to help me, and it can help you too.

Not long ago, negative, spiralling thoughts hit me hard and I got completely flooded. So I reached for the medicine I knew would help. I pressed play and moved through this somatic music series: 1. RELEASE, 2. RESET, 3. RESTORE, and 4. RECONNECT. (5. RADIATE is the coming). This music works as medicine for exactly these moments. It interrupts and gently short-circuits the loop the mind gets stuck in, while actually being something the body wants to groove to.

When the sound journey had finished, the triggering stimulus hadn’t gone anywhere, but my nervous system felt more relaxed, my mind had calmed and made way for my soul to be back in the driver’s seat. If your mind is running too fast trying to make sense of the chaos around you, or if you simply don't like the frequency you're sitting in, this is how you change it. Let this music be medicine - and let the calm it brings be what you carry back into the world.

Put on your headphones, close your eyes and just let go. Let the music do what it needs to and let your body respond how it wants to. Even if you fall asleep, that’s totally acceptable (also, a little nap is always a good choice).

You have to feel it to free it.

Dear friends,

There is a lot to fill our minds with anxious thoughts right now, especially as we watch the world rapidly and sharply change around us. Our minds scramble to make sense of it all, and if we don’t catch it, it can quickly lock into the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) keeping us on alert. It’s only trying to keep us safe, which is its job, but in times of uncertainty, constantly being on alert is just not helpful and honestly, is exhausting.

The medicine for the spiralling mind is to change the frequency. And for that, we turn to music.

RESTORE is the third track from the somatic movement music series and before it gets released into the wild, Resonance Room Plus+ friends get an exclusive first listen. RELEASE came first, then RESET, and now we RESTORE. RECONNECT is on its way. These tracks work as standalones, but they also are a consecutive journey. If your mind is spiralling as it tries to make sense of the chaos around it, or if you simply don’t like the frequency you’re sitting in, then change it and let your nervous system breathe and unclench. It will thank you.

Put your on headphones, lie down, close your eyes and just simply let go. Let the music do what it needs to and let your body respond how it wants to. Even if you fall asleep, that’s totally acceptable, your subconscious mind will do the rest (also, a little nap is always a good choice).

Dear friends,

Unexpressed emotions are not benign. Those niggling feelings that we bury or desperately try to ignore don’t just disappear…but they wait. We tell ourselves we’re saving the emotions for a more convenient breakdown, but buried feelings aren’t usually compliant. We have little control over when they explode, and let’s be honest, they have a habit of resurfacing at the absolute worst moment.

So here is your invitation to shimmy your way back to center, calm, groundedness and a less reactive temperament. Plus, it just feels good - your nervous system thank you.

This is RESET - the second track of catchy somatic movement music, and as always, the Resonance Room Plus+ friends are getting an exclusive first listen. These tracks work as standalones, but they also are a consecutive journey. RELEASE came first, RESTORE is next (with more coming) but for right now…we RESET.

This music is designed for movement, big or small. The key is not to judge the movement, or overthink the body’s response, but to simply get out of your cognitive way, and let it be an authentic kinaesthetic reaction. Swaying, tapping, head bopping, toe wiggling…full on dance party, whatever. The music is simply the key that unlocks whatever your body needs to do to move energy.

You have to feel it to free it.

Dear friends,

Overthinking is awful. When the minds starts spinning, the spiral is relentless. The antidote…music and movement. One way to shortcut the anxiety spiral, is to literally groove and toe tap your way back to the present moment.

So…I’ve been creating a somatic movement album, and before it’s released into the wild, The Resonance Room Plus+ members are getting early access. I’d love to hear your thoughts, your experience with this music, what landed, what moved you and what dance moves blurted out.

This is RELEASE - track one of catchy somatic movement music. Track two - RESET is now live in the Resonance Room Plus+. These tracks work as standalones, but they also are a consecutive journey. RESTORE is next (with more coming) but for right now…we RELEASE then RESET.

This music is designed for movement, big or small. The key is not to judge the movement, or overthink the body’s response, but to simply get out of your cognitive way, and let it be an authentic kinaesthetic reaction.

Dear Friends,
The world is a noisy place. Every day we’re bombarded by chaotic frequencies. Subtle and often subconscious waves that hijack our focus, drain our peace, and disrupt our nervous systems. It’s impossible to live in this world without ever encountering disruptive frequencies. There will always be headlines written from fear, heavy traffic, loud construction, Wi-Fi signals, air conditioners droning, and conversations that tempt us into rage. If we’re not vigilant, we can easily find ourselves pulled into anger, confusion, or frustration.

But here’s the truth and good news. We hold all the power! We decide where our focus goes. We decide what frequencies surround us. Every one of these energy draining moments can be counteracted. Not by avoidance, but by intentional re-tuning. The frequencies we choose to surround ourselves with shape our resonance, and that resonance is what we share with the world. Let it be peace. Let it be love. Choose wisely. Music is Medicine.

When we consciously fill our hearts, bodies, and minds with peaceful frequencies at every chance we get, that becomes our default setting. Peace becomes our resonance. So when we do inevitably meet disruption, it doesn’t steal our calm, it simply brushes against the overflow of it. Our job is to refill that cup daily, flooding ourselves with harmony before depletion ever begins.

We are living through the loudest era in human history - and our nervous systems and health are silently paying the price.

Your brain is being hijacked one ping, one headline, one endless scroll at a time. Since 2000, our average attention span has plunged from 12 seconds to 8 - a state researchers call continuous partial attention, where the brain never lands and is always bracing for the next interruption.

A 2022 Health Communication study linked heavy news consumption to higher anxiety, stress, headaches, fatigue, and poor sleep, while newer research shows compulsive short-form scrolling on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and others weakens focus, memory, and mood. Each notification is a frequency bomb, spiking cortisol and keeping the nervous system locked in low-grade fight-or-flight.

But it isn’t just screens. We are constantly bombarded with frequencies - many of them anything but friendly. Wi-Fi networks, the low rumble of traffic, the steady thrum of power lines. Some are unavoidable facts of modern life.

But there’s another layer - the toxic frequencies we invite:

• The constant ding of social media.

• That pesky iPhone notification.

• Endless scrolling of headlines crafted to spark fear.

• Music and movies that ignore your nervous system’s need for coherence.

• Conversations that center around outrage or negativity instead of love or peace.

They’re stealthy dissonances that slip beneath awareness and unsettle the whole system. Each jolt spikes adrenaline, raises cortisol, pushes the nervous system into low-grade stress, and quietly drains focus long after the noise has finished.

The Antidote to the Poisoned Signal

The good news is that you are the broadcaster.

What you watch, hear, and speak sets the day’s pitch.

When the signal is harmonious, you feel balanced and alive; when it’s jagged or toxic, your own frequency shifts to match, showing up as tension, fatigue, or anxiety, all without fully why.

Positive frequency creates positive resonance; negative frequency creates negative resonance.

The greatest gift we can give our nervous system is listening to our body’s discernment. Your body knows long before your mind does what truly fits. A soft inner yes, a sudden tightening, a subtle lift or drop in energy - these are cues. The more you live in alignment with who you are at a soul level, the sharper that sensing becomes. Like a master musician tuning by ear, your whole being knows when a note is off. Building that daily practice is how you keep your signal clean and strong.

The Frequency Mantra

Press play on a song and feel your body say no?
Turn it off.

Walk into a room and feel your energy drain?
Take the hint and walk out.

Stuck in a chat that makes your chest tighten?
That’s not love - change the subject.

This is resonance as daily practice. This is how you start to heal.

We can’t silence every discordant sound, but we can counteract them. We can choose to flood our inner field with harmony whenever we have the chance by letting in only the sounds, people, and stories that match the frequency of the life you’re here to live. Morning is the sacred threshold. Reach for stillness before screens and you start a chain reaction of calm.

If you’re looking for a morning meditation to balance your frequency, try the one below:

At a time when truth can feel out of reach and it’s hard to know who or what to believe, the wisest choice is to look inward. Seek the stillness. Reach for calm. Truth doesn’t live in your social media feed or on the news - it’s a frequency that’s found within.

Whatever simple morning ritual works for you, a slow walk, coffee and mediation or a few mindful breaths by an open window, the practice you choose is what matters. It is never too late to begin. From the very first moment you pause, your mind, body, and nervous system start to shift toward peace, clarity, and calm.

Let each dawn build the resonance of stillness that the world, and your heart, most need.

He’s the super sophisticated jazz man who cruised his way into pop history. We can hum, Say a Little Prayer, I Just Don’t Know What to do with Myself, and Wishin’ and Hopin’ with ease (thank you My Best Friends Wedding) but Burt is also the man behind other artists’ major hits.
What’s New Pussycat?, They Long to Be Close to You, I’ll Never Fall in Love Again and Raindrops Keep Fallin’ are all memorable tunes thanks to Mr. Bacharach and lyricist Hal David.

They probably now are all stuck in your head…you’re welcome.

He’s also pals with the International man of Mystery himself!
Who can forget his Groovy cameo in Austin Powers!?

But beneath the cool jazz and easy-listening charm, did
he code something deeper into his sound?
Could one of his songs actually be medicine for a world lost in outrage?
Has Burt hidden the remedy we need inside a Sunday-afternoon jazz ballad?
Could one timeless melody be the very thing that could save the day?

Grab a coffee, slip on a groovy dinner jacket, channel your inner Austin Powers, and let’s talk about how one ‘Groovy’ and timeless melody might still save the day.

What the World Needs Now Is Burt, Sweet Burt

He scooped up Grammys, Oscars, and Golden Globes like they were party favors.
Pop stars queued to hang out (and yes, Austin Powers is still on speed dial).
But right in the middle of all that sparkle came an invitation back to the thing we keep forgetting.
A reminder the world could probably use on repeat right now.

It’s called What the World Needs Now Is Love.
And honestly - it might be the most urgent track in his whole catalogue.

Let’s unpack why - but first, here’s the song. Press play and let it work while you read.

As the world seems to be collapsing into chaos and cortisol, most of us are sitting around, feeling helpless…but activated.
The news is screaming.
Everything seems to be faster, louder, more stressful.
There seems to always be another big thing to be upset about.

But…there is good news…

We don’t have to just bumble along with the madness, getting hopelessly knocked about.
We can do something.
It’s not showy - but it is deliberate.
It might be the most important choice of all, especially in this tumultuous time.

It’s time to get intentional about which vibrations we welcome and which resonance we carry through the day.
A daily frequency reset where we can make the choice between love and fear.

What the World Needs Now Is Love is a sonic prescription and love frequency in disguise. When we intentionally tune to this frequency, we tune our energy and our nervous system into love and carry that resonance with us all day.

This song isn’t just a pop classic and nostalgic trip.
It’s music as medicine.

I Just Don’t Know What to Do with My Hertz

Let’s talk vibration. I’m not talking about the sage-burning, woo-woo crystal-store kind (to be clear though, I do love me a crystal), but the physics of sound waves measured in Hertz.
I mean literal vibration.

Every note you hear, every heartbeat, every sound and every voice moves as a wave.
That wave has speed, measured in Hertz (Hz). This is how many times per second it pulses.
And those pulses don’t just bounce off your ears, they travel straight through your nervous system and are absorbed by you.

Enter the Solfeggio scale: an ancient set of healing tones that are said to carry emotional signatures.
639 Hz is said to be the love-and-connection frequency.

What the World Needs Now Is Love isn’t recorded in perfect 639 Hz pitch (like most pop song it lives around 440 Hz), but we’re talking essence of the pitch.
The emotional architecture of this song hums with the essence of 639 Hz - the tone associated with open-hearted empathy, forgiveness, and relationship repair.

There really shouldn’t be any surprises that this song carries the essence of the Love tone…the clue is in the title.
The song is literally giving us the cheat sheet answer.
What does the world need? Love…sweet love.

(They Long to Be) Close to These Chords

This song is a masterclass of combining musical elements such as melody, harmony, rhythm, texture, and precise frequencies to quietly re-calibrate and soften stress.
Every note (vibration) travels directly to the nervous and limbic system, influencing brainwaves, raising or lowering cortisol, dopamine, and oxytocin - and can guide your brain toward calm theta waves or keep it wired in high-beta stress.

• Key: F Major
Warm and luminous, F major carries a reputation for openness and trust.
Its center of gravity sits right in a comfortable vocal range, so the very first chord already tells the limbic system there’s no threat. Think of it as a sonic hug for the heart chakra.

• Chord Progression: Jazz Rich
Instead of a usual pop song progression we have come to know and love, Bacharach sprinkles in jazz idioms. These unpredictable yet highly satisfying musical surprises spark gentle dopamine hits in the brain’s reward centers. Each tiny tension resolves into warmth, lowering cortisol and creating a playful ebb-and-flow between sympathetic alertness and parasympathetic calm.

• Instrumentation: Sparse yet Warm
This openness literally gives your auditory cortex space to rest, helping to calm and relax the vagus nerve and clear the prefrontal cortex stay clear. Basically, hitting ‘empty trash’ on your computer.

• Tempo: ~100 BPM, a slow, relaxed waltz
That lilting waltz sits right on top of a resting human heartbeat. Through rhythmic entrainment your own pulse and breathing subtly align, coaxing the body toward its natural rest-and-digest rhythm.

• Lack of Harsh Dissonance
When we think of Jazz, we think clashy, fast and frantic (often nonsensical sounding) musical movements, however Burt delivers the opposite. The jazz he infuses use suspensions that resolve into consonance. Not a jarring sound to be heard. Basically, it’s a ‘cup of hot cocoa by the fire with a cosy dressing gown’ kind of feeling for the nervous system.

Brain & Body Response:

What the world needs now isn’t just a classic pop hit, but a sonic invitation and musical medicine that:
- Activates the parasympathetic nervous system (calm mode)
- Stimulates the vagus nerve for emotional release and oxytocin flow
- Quiets the limbic system, reducing emotional distress
- Resonates with the heart chakra, fostering energetic stability and trust

Is this not exactly the daily frequency we should be surrounded ourselves with?
Is this not the resonance we should be wanting to carry throughout our day?

I Say a Little Prayer… for Your Vagus Nerve

The power of What the World Needs Now is the potent blend of music as medicine with the power of words.
It’s vibrational instruction, for both your ears and nervous system.

It doesn’t take a genius to work it out, but the title and main phrase of the song is the whole point.
“What the world needs now, is love, sweet love,” is not just excellent advice, but rather sends a direct vibrational instruction to the part of you that’s been clenched and bracing.
The line bypasses logic and lands in the nervous system like a gentle command: soften, open, receive.

And then comes the magic of repetition.
Each return to love, sweet love is a sonic mantra, engaging neuroplasticity and quietly rewires old emotional patterns shaped by fear or scarcity.
All whilst you are simply tapping your foot, bobbing your head, or humming along.

Or better yet, singing along.
That’s where the real power lies.
When you literally speak (sing) the words, they vibrate in your body and amplify the medicine. Your own vocal cords become tuning forks, vibrating through your chest, stimulating the vagus nerve and lowering cortisol.

The best part is the medicine doesn’t stop when the song ends.
Your mind keeps replaying the melody like a favorite memory, and your nervous system remembers the vibrational instructions to relax and stay calm.
It’s that ear worm that you can’t stop singing at 3am, except this worm you actually want. It’s holds you in the love vibration.
You continue to bathe in the 639 Hz love frequency, creating a deep inner resonance that you carry into every interaction.
That resonance is contagious - your energy is quietly absorbed by everyone you meet.

This is why it matters what frequency you start the day with and choose to hold.
Your morning soundtrack isn’t just background; it’s a signal you broadcast.
What frequency do you want to pour into the world today?

Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Brainwaves

Bacharach didn’t write a protest anthem.
He wrote a frequency.
One that still cuts through decades of static to remind us: the answer isn’t more noise, it’s more resonance.

So press play.
Let the sound wrap around your chest like a sonic embrace.
Sing until is really sinks in.

Because what the world needs now - and has always needed -
is love. Sweet love.

Be that love.

P.S. I’ve started collaborating with my friend Wizard Withwords to create a daily guided meditation, each one purpose-built around the astrology of the day. We have combined the power of words with the medicine of music to create a daily frequency reset.

I’m calling it The Resonance Room - a quick ten minute meditation you can do each morning to intentionally tune your resonance to the energies of the day, on purpose, like an instrument.

I’ll be posting free meditations every Monday & Tuesday, but the rest of the week’s will be exclusively for Resonance Room subscribers. If you’d like these daily meditations to land in your inbox, subscribe using the button below.

They were the mop-topped lads from Liverpool who changed music forever.
They sparked Beatlemania, toppled charts, and nearly drowned in their own screaming fans.
They experimented with LSD, meditation, and moustaches.
They played stadiums before anyone knew how to amplify them, broke up in public, and still managed to soundtrack half a century of weddings, protests, and road trips.

The Beatles are revolution and raw pop genius - all crammed into one psychedelic yellow submarine.

But what if beneath the mania, the mop tops coded something deeper into their sound?
What if one of their gentlest ballads wasn’t just a lullaby for grief?
What if it is the very frequency for letting go?
Could their music actually be medicine for your nervous system?

Normally I’d say grab a coffee and keep scrolling, but that does not feel appropriate for British Beatle territory. So grab a tea, a scone, and in the words of George Harrison: here comes the sun.

A Hard Day’s Night (of Beatlemania)

They gave us Yesterday, Here Comes the Sun, and a Yellow Submarine, and still had time to make zebra crossings famous. The Beatles weren’t just a band - they were a global event in matching suits. They sparked Beatlemania, rewrote what pop could be, and somehow turned heartbreak (Hey Jude), psychedelia (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds), and existential dread (Eleanor Rigby, what even was that?) into stadium-sized singalongs. They walked across Abbey Road and straight into legend status leaving behind a catalogue that soundtracked love, loss, rebellion, and rainy Sundays.

But in the eye of all that cultural chaos, they released something quieter (and possibly my favourite Beatle song).
A simple piano ballad.
Nothing flashy, just a mantra and moment of stillness wrapped in melody with a side of soaring guitar.

It’s called Let It Be.
And it might be the most healing thing they ever made.

Let’s unpack why, but first here’s the song, press play and listen while you read.

I mean…who doesn’t love an emotional guitar solo right?!

At first listen, Let It Be sounds like a gentle piano ballad - a lullaby for hard days and heavy hearts. It’s not trying to inspire, fix, or fight. It’s not a revolution. It’s not even a grand statement.
It’s a release.
It’s the sound of someone choosing stillness in the middle of the storm, not because they’ve given up, but because they’ve finally let go.

It’s tender, stripped-back, and quietly powerful. A song that sits beside you like an old friend, saying, “You don’t have to carry it all.”

But here’s the thing: it’s not just the lyrics doing the heavy lifting.
There’s something else humming underneath.
A deeper resonance built into the bones of the song.
A frequency of surrender.
A vibration of peace.

Let’s go deeper.

All You Need Is Love (and a Few Hertz)

Let’s talk frequency. I’m not talking about the sage-burning, tie-dye-wearing, full-moon-chanting sort of way (though there’s space for that too).
I’m talking literal vibration.

Every sound you hear, every piano chord, vocal phrase, and breath between lyrics travels as a wave. That wave has speed, and its speed is measured in Hertz (Hz), which tells us how many times per second it vibrates.

So if something is vibrating at 396 Hz, it’s pulsing 396 times a second. And that vibration doesn’t just skim past your ears but moves through your nervous system.

Enter the Solfeggio frequencies - an ancient scale of tones often associated with sacred music, chanting, and vibrational healing. Each is said to carry a different emotional and energetic quality. 396 Hz is known as the emotional release tone - a vibrational cue for grief, guilt, fear, and shame. It’s linked to the Root Chakra, the energetic foundation of safety and groundedness.

Let It Be isn’t tuned to 396 Hz in the technical sense (like most modern music, it follows the standard 440 Hz tuning), but we’re not talking about exact pitch, we’re talking the essence of 396Hz embodied in the emotional architecture of the song. The way it feels in your body.

This song feels like 396 Hz.

The C major key creates a feeling of safety and simplicity. It’s emotionally open with no friction, no surprise and no tension. All the white notes on the piano. The slow tempo mirrors a calm heartbeat, gently cueing the parasympathetic nervous system (your body’s rest-and-digest mode). The repetitive piano motif and mantra-like lyric (‘let it be, let it be…’) gradually settles the mind and body like a rocking chair for the soul. Paul’s vocals are authentically and unapologetically human. Not reaching, not performing, no autotune, not overproduced - just offering presence. The intention and focus is in making a human connection. This grounded delivery activates the vagus nerve, which governs emotional expression, tears, and deep somatic release.

Whisper words of wisdom, your vagus nerve is listening

The song subtly shifts your brainwave state toward theta and delta, the frequencies associated with meditation, calm, and repair. Suddenly, you’re not Eleanor Rigby anymore - you’re drifting in strawberry fields forever. Meanwhile, the limbic system (your emotional brain) is invited to soften and stop clenching. It’s sonic permission that says, ‘ You can stop bracing and finally rest’.

This isn’t just a comforting melody.
It’s a frequency-based invitation for your whole body to exhale.

Lyrically, Paul isn’t giving advice. He’s not trying to fix you.
He’s offering three words that your nervous system has likely been waiting to hear:

Let it be.

I Get By With a Little Help From My Chords

From a technical standpoint, Let It Be is a masterclass in emotional release. This songs beautiful simplicity makes it somatically potent. Every musical choice is calibrated to disarm your defences, calm your physiology, and whisper to your nervous system, You’re safe now.

• Key: C Major
The most natural, grounded key in music - all white notes, no sharps or flats. It’s emotionally clear, foundational, and unthreatening. Associated with the Root Chakra, it creates a felt sense of safety and stillness before you even know what the lyrics are saying.

• Chord Progression: C – G – Am – F
Familiar, classic, and emotionally stable. These chords have been used in everything from lullabies to anthems because they feel like home. The lone minor chord (Am) provides a pocket of bittersweet emotion, just enough melancholy to allow grief to rise, but not take over. A quick oscillation between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. It’s a safe space to feel without getting lost in it. Turns out you don’t need LSD to expand your consciousness: just C major and A minor

• Instrumentation: Sparse, Spacious, Intentional
Mostly piano, a steady beat, and that iconic electric guitar solo. The minimal arrangement offers space: for breath, for feeling, for release. There’s no sonic clutter so nothing overwhelms. It’s a sonic room you can safely cry in.

• Tempo: Slow and Steady
Aligns closely with a resting heart rate. This rhythm gently cues the parasympathetic nervous system. It grounds the nervous system, lowers cortisol, and makes it easier to…yes…let it be.

• Lack of Dissonance
There’s no tension in the harmony just emotional coherence. If your nervous system’s been running on high alert then this is its cue to stop scanning for danger.

• Brain & Body Response
This song activates:

• The parasympathetic nervous system (aka calm mode)

• The vagus nerve, supporting tears, release, and regulation

• Theta and delta brainwaves, linked to meditation and rest

• The limbic system, reducing emotional distress

• The Root Chakra, fostering energetic stability and trust

Hey Jude (Don’t Make It Worse, Just Let It Be)

The power of Let It Be isn’t just in the piano, the tempo, or the lack of dissonance. It’s in the words. These aren’t just lyrics - they’re vibrational instructions. When Paul sings, “Let it be,” he’s not giving you advice. He’s offering your nervous system a soft command. That line doesn’t need to explain itself, it just simply bypasses logic and speaks directly to the part of you that’s been clenching for too long.

The repetition of that simple phrase, ‘let it be, let it be, let it be’ is a a sonic mantra. A gentle, rhythmic cue that tells your body it can stop resisting now. That not everything needs to be understood, fixed, or fought.

These words speak directly to the subconscious. They activate neuroplasticity which is the gentle re-patterning of old emotional loops shaped by fear, survival, or loss. When sung with feeling (and yes, this is absolutely your cue to sing along), they vibrate through your bones and into your nervous system. Sing it loud, even if you sound more like Ringo than Paul. Your nervous system doesn’t care, it just loves the vibration
The voice becomes vibration.
And the body starts to believe it.

This isn’t just poetic songwriting.
It’s a permission slip to unclench your jaw.
A lullaby for your root chakra.
And a vibrational anthem for the part of you still learning that release is strength

Here Comes the Calm (Not Just the Sun)

The Beatles gave us mania and magic. They gave us moustaches, masterpieces, and melodies that rewired the world. But in the middle of all that noise, they also gave us this song that doesn’t try to fix you, hype you, or push you forward.
It simply sits beside you, hand on heart, and reminds you to let go.

Let It Be isn’t just a classic.
It’s a frequency.
A lullaby for your limbic system.
A vibrational hand on your back whispering, You don’t have to hold it all.

If you want to deepen the 396 Hz effect, try listening to Let It Be while lying down under a weighted blanket, or after breathwork or somatic shaking to support emotional release. And don’t just listen…sing. You body doesn’t care if you think you’re a good singer or not, it just needs permission to feel.
So sing.
Out loud.
Especially the ‘let it be’ line.

Your voice is a resonant instrument, and when you sing those words, you vibrate them into your own nervous system.
It’s sonic self-regulation.
It’s medicine you can make with your own breath.

So press play.
Put one hand on your heart, the other on your belly.
Let the melody hold what you’ve been carrying.
Let the words recalibrate the field around you.

And this time - really let it be.
Because in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
And sometimes, the love you make starts with letting it be
Trust the resonance.
Let it be.

The Frequency of a Teenage Dream

Katy Perry didn’t just dominate pop music in the 2010s, she practically was pop music. She burst onto the scene with I Kissed a Girl, or course beginning in controversy. Teenage Dream gave us five No. 1 singles on one album, a feat only previously achieved by Michael Jackson. Firework, California Gurls, E.T., and Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) turned dance floors into neon carnivals.
And let’s not pretend her anthem Roar isn’t an absolute certified banger.

She’s had hits so massive they became soundtracks to entire decades, and flops so public they came with think pieces. But in the middle of all the wigs, whipped cream, and world tours sits one song that didn’t scream, but sang. One that didn’t chart as high, but might just resonate the deepest.

It’s called Unconditionally.
And it’s the one that matters.

Let’s unpack why, but first here’s the song, press play and listen while you read.

Not only will this now be stuck in your head all day, but your nervous system will be thanking you. So, you’re welcome.

At first listen, Unconditionally sounds like a soaring love ballad, a declaration of total acceptance in a world obsessed with performance. It’s not about fixing, proving, or earning love. It’s about being seen as you are, masks off, mess and all, and still being met with open arms.
It’s raw, wide-eyed, and emotionally exposed, a song that wraps itself around you like a sonic hug just when you need it most.

But here’s the thing: it’s not just the lyrics doing the heavy lifting.
There’s something else happening beneath the surface - a quiet vibrational code stitched into the sound itself.

Let’s go deeper.

I Kissed a Frequency (and I Liked It)

Let’s talk frequency, and not in a woo-woo, incense-burning, unicorn sort of way (though there’s totally a place for that). I’m talking literal vibration.

Every sound you hear, every note, breath, beat- travels as a wave. The speed of that wave is measured in Hertz (Hz), which tells us how many cycles per second that vibration is occurring.

So if something is vibrating at 639 Hz, it’s pulsing 639 times per second. That vibration doesn’t just pass through your ears. It moves through your nervous system.

Enter the Solfeggio frequencies, an ancient scale of six core tones (and three expanded ones) that have been used for centuries in spiritual chants, sacred music, and healing rituals. Each tone corresponds to a different emotional and energetic quality.

639 Hz is known as the frequency of heart connection. It’s regarded as the tone of empathy, compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love. It’s linked to the Heart Chakra, and is believed to support the healing of relationships. Yes it can heal your relationship with others, but more importantly it can heal the relationship with yourself.

It gently invites your nervous system to soften, trust, and open.

Katy’s Unconditionally isn’t technically tuned to 639 Hz (like most mainstream music, it follows the global 440 Hz standard), but we aren’t talking about specific pitch, we are talking about essence. This matters just as much, possibly even more. It’s the way the emotional architecture of the song feels in your body, the emotional response it creates and the energetic imprint it leaves behind.
This is the magic.
This is music as medicine.

The sweeping pads and reverb-drenched atmosphere create a sonic sense of spaciousness, like being wrapped in sound that says, you’re safe now. The pulsing electronic drums mimic the flutter of the heart when it’s letting its guard down. The nervous excitement of feeling truly seen, and the permission to be authentically vulnerable. The strings rise and fall like emotional waves, activating the limbic system, the emotional brain, gently nudging it to process and release.
We are being called into the parasympathetic nervous system.

And then there’s Katy’s voice. She beings with a soft, intimate whispers in the verses, erupting into full-throttle emotional belts in the chorus. This dynamic vocal delivery mirrors what it feels like to be seen and held, to risk vulnerability and be met with presence.

Lyrically, she’s offering love without conditions.
Energetically, she’s delivering a vibrational message:

You are enough, exactly as you are.

So whilst it may not be a Solfeggio frequency in the technical sense, the elements of this song combine to behave like one.
It resonates like one.
It heals like one.

E.T. (Emotional Transmission)

From a technical standpoint, Unconditionally is a masterclass in emotional architecture. It’s pop (and who doesn’t love a good pop banger now and then), but it’s pop engineered to feel. Every element of the composition is crafted to bypass your intellect and speak directly to your nervous system.

• Key: E Minor
  Warm, radiant, and associated with feelings of safety and openness. E Minor resonates with the Heart Chakra, musically and energetically inviting expansion.

• Tempo: Moderate, but elevated
  Just fast enough to mimic the feeling of emotional quickening. It gives us the anticipation, vulnerability, or the moment before tears.

• Drums: Pulsing and steady
  The kick acts like a heartbeat. Grounding. Reassuring. It anchors the emotional swell and signals safety to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest)

• Atmospheric Pads & Reverb
  These expansive textures create space. They are a sonic environment that feel unthreatening and sacred. Reverb tricks the brain into perceiving depth, like a cathedral or open sky. It allows the heart (and breath) to expand and provides ample space to process and ‘sit’ in the emotion of love and acceptance.

• Strings: Slow Swells and Sustained Emotion
  The string arrangements rise and fall in a wave-like motion. No Swish Swish, or flossing here, just swells that speak directly to your emotional memory. It activates the limbic system (where emotional memory is stored) and creates a sense of emotional permission.

• Vocals: Whisper to Belt
  Katy’s voice is the central emotional anchor. Her verses are breathy and intimate. She’s essentially creating a vibrational whisper to the vagus nerve (your nervous system’s emotional command centre). As the chorus builds, her vocal belt floods the body with oxytocin and dopamine, the chemical messengers of love, trust, and catharsis.

Together, these choices do more than make a catchy song. They guide your body into a state of openness. The production mimics the rhythm of emotional surrender. It invites us to safely let go. She literally sings ‘open up your heart and just let it begin’. Katy is creating a space for your heart to crack open, whilst telling your nervous system you’re safe to be vulnerable here.

Whether intentional or intuitive, Unconditionally is wired like medicine.
Not in its key alone. Not in its tempo, but in the whole emotional architecture of the song.

All the elements weave together to build trust, creating a space where vulnerability feels safe.
This is where growth and healing can being.

Words as Medicine

The power of Unconditionally isn’t just in the instrumentation, it’s in the words. These aren’t just lyrics, they’re vibrational instructions. When Katy sings, “Come just as you are to me. Don’t need apologies,” she’s not offering a catchy hook, she’s transmitting a healing frequency. These lines bypass logic and speak directly to the parts of us that feel unworthy, unseen, or too much.

The repetition of “I will love you unconditionally” acts like a sonic mantra.
This repeated affirmation is what the nervous system longs to hear but rarely believes.
That love doesn’t have to be earned.
That you can stop performing.
That you’re safe to just be.

The lyrics invite neuroplasticity, the gently rewiring of old negative emotional loops that were shaped by past rejection, shame, or fear.
When sung with feeling (especially aloud..yes this is your invitation to sing along), they work like a resonance reset.
Your heart hears it and your body believes it.

This isn’t just poetic pop.
It’s a permission slip to put the mask down and a vibrational anthem for the part of you still learning that love can stay.

How (and When) to Let This Song Heal You

Sure, she’s the glitter-drenched space cadet who married a wild comic, kissed girls, shot whipped cream from her chest, and surfed the wild waves of pop culture fame and flop, but this is where the frequency shifts. Unconditionally isn’t for the club, the meme, or the playlist shuffle. It’s for the quiet moments.

It’s to be belted to the mirror, whispered in a downward spiral, or hummed between breakdown and breakthrough.

The next time you feel like you’ve outgrown your armour but don’t know how to drop it, this is your cue.
Find somewhere still.
Place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly.
Hit play and let the reverb hold you.
Let the lyrics soften you.
Let the frequency remind you what love sounds like when it’s not asking you to perform.

This isn’t the Katy of candyland chaos, this is the sound of her soul whispering something true.
And if you let it, your nervous system might just whisper back: I’m safe now.

Play it once.
Then again.
Then again.
Then sing along.
Then sing it again.
Keep going…until it lands.

So next time your nervous system needs a hug, find the healing frequency you need.
Because under the wigs, hits, and headlines... Katy Perry might just be your frequency whisperer.

Why It Matters (Like, World-Saving Matters)

I genuinely believe music can heal.

It can shift the atmosphere, calm and reduce stress,
support neuroplasticity, can support natural rewiring,
help process emotions, and shift our nervous system
in ways that support healing.

This isn’t just a lovely yet somewhat whimsical thought.
It’s science.

I’m fascinated by this, so I’m diving deep into answering why
and how music can be used as medicine for our nervous systems,
and maybe even for the world.
If you’re here reading this,
and you also feel the world is crumbling around you
(and I’m not talking about delicious apple crumble kind),
you’re so welcome to join the quest.

We’re going to explore how resonance - through not only music,
but every aspect of our lives could just be one of the most powerful
tools we have to heal, reconnect, and rebuild.

From Remembering to Resonating

Over time - through the joyous, brutal, beautiful mess of life - I realised I wasn’t just reacting to beautiful music. The music was resonating with me. This wasn’t expression. It was remembrance.

Music doesn’t just reflect your mood. It can reshape it.

That’s why sad songs can be cathartic and why choosing a hopeful piece
can help you breathe when your world feels like it’s closing in.

That certain chord, or instrument, or note hits you and suddenly you’re not just listening, you’re remembering something your body never forgot.

If our emotions are not processed, then they have to be buried in us somewhere, and music is the remedy to getting them out.
Because music isn’t just sound.
It’s medicine.

Goosebumps and Science (Yes, Both)

We love calling it magic, but really it’s scientific (I get it, some of you may have just thrown up in your mouths a bit with the mention of ‘science’).
Stay with me though. It’s worth it.

Frequencies hit your nervous system.
They stimulate the vagus nerve.
They shift your internal state.

They help you:

• Breathe softer

• Cry harder

• Feel safer

• Remember something ancient and true

Alan Silvestri (legendary film composer of Forrest Gump, The Avengers, Back to the Future) said it best: “The job of the music is to tell you how to feel - not by pushing, but by gently guiding your heart there.”

And let’s be real - we could all use a little gentle guidance.

John Williams makes us sob., Alan Silvestri makes us want to punch the air and fight for justice and Billie Eilish makes us float through a neon forest in a nightgown made of sadness.
Adele wrecks us all (with love).

That’s not coincidence.
That’s resonance and frequency working together and doing their thing.

Yes, there’s a time for sad songs when you’re sad.
A time for ragey songs when you need to scream.
But we forget that we can use music to shift our state.
To alchemize grief into softness, anger into motion or numbness into breath.

We don’t just have to match our mood.
We can choose where we want to go by allowing the right frequency to carry us there.

Music is medicine.
And it’s time we stop consuming it passively and start using it on purpose.

The Real Reason I Compose (And What I Found When I Dug Deeper)

I used to think I just wrote music. That it was just my creative superpower-
and a way to express whatever I couldn’t quite put into words.
And while that’s absolutely true, there was always something deeper going on.

I realised I was creating resonance.

It was less “I’m making this music,” and more
“This music is making itself through me, for someone who needs it.”
(As I said in another post: I’m a coffee-infused conduit and a grateful one.)

As a composer, I want to be intentional about the resonance I create.
The world is loud, messy, and lately seems to be crumbling
(I really do wish it was the delicious apple kind).
I want my music to help heal.
To shift the atmosphere and to be a frequency worth catching.

My mission is to write music that resonates so deeply, it bypasses logic and speaks straight to the soul. To intently design music to be soul-level medicine.
To help people feel and process emotions they didn’t even know were stuck in their bones.

I accept my mission.

(Scroll down to you hear my song The Rise of the Phoenix. It’s an instrumental cinematic 4-minute long frequency journey designed to resonate with you)

I’ll also be sharing my other cinematic, instrumental frequency journeys here on Substack as they flow through me and specific frequency-based pieces designed for healing, grounding, and wholeness.

I want to help people realise that every time you hit play (on anything), you’re choosing a frequency.

Every time you sing in the shower, hum in the car, or cry to Adele at the bus stop, you’re shifting the field around you.

We can change the very atmosphere - not just in a room, but in a body, a home, a relationship, even the world - purely by the resonance we choose to broadcast.

Everything vibrates.
Your voice.
Your thoughts.
Your mood.
Your music.
They’re all made of frequency.
And frequency is contagious.

What frequency are you sending out to people and world around you?

Frequency & Resonance
(aka Why That One Song Wrecked You in Aisle 5 at Coles)

In order to gain a greater understanding of this, let’s unpack frequency and resonance.

These aren’t just mystical buzzwords musicians throw around, but
words your soul already understands.
(Which is why you suddenly cried in the car to that Adele song you hadn’t heard since 2011.)

You might not be aware of the science, but that doesn’t matter - your body already is. Also, for the record, I am not a scientist. I’m just following my curiosity.

Sound shapes our mood, our nervous system, our relationships, our world -
and in a time where so much is falling apart, I believe we’re being called to rebuild it with resonance.

Frequency = how fast a wave vibrates and is measured in Hertz (Hz).

I know, words like “waveform” and “Hertz” can make your eyes glaze over.
Stay with me. You can have a snack soon.

For example: If a tone vibrates at 432 Hz, it’s vibrating 432 times per second.
A wine glass ping has the frequency of 880 Hz (vibrates 880 times per second).
A deep thunder roll - About 65 Hz (vibrates 65 times per second).

So in summary:

• High frequency = high pitch = fast vibrations (e.g. opera, 880 Hz)

• Low frequency = low pitch = slow vibrations (e.g. bass, 65 Hz)

Alright, you’ve earned the snack!

Take a deep breath.
Sip your coffee.
Eat the cookie.
You’ve earned it!

Let’s continue because here’s where the magic comes in.

Resonance = What happens when a frequency hits something that naturally responds - like your body, your emotions, or your nervous system syncing with the signal.

It’s that involuntary reaction when a sound hits just right.

Your chest tightens.
Your eyes sting.
Your jaw clenches, or you melt.
That’s your body saying: “Yep. That’s for me.”

It’s not just music.
It’s also people.
Jobs.
Conversations.
Places.
Tv Show, Movies, Podcasts.

You resonate with a friend and feel joy flood your system.
You don’t resonate with a space and immediately feel drained.

Your soul knows what fits - and what doesn’t.

Like I said, everything vibrates, and every vibration has the potential to resonate within us. Sometimes it aligns. Sometimes it doesn’t.
But we always feel it.

It’s your practice of attuning to your body, and the intentionality behind the frequencies you allow in, that determines whether your resonance is protected, or compromised.

Here’s the Magic Bit

Resonance isn’t passive. It’s contagious.

Think about a yawn.
You don’t even need to see it - just sense it - and your jaw stretches too.
(I bet you're yawning now. You're welcome.)

The yawn is the frequency (an energetic signal, not strictly sonic) and the resonance within you (the response) is you yawning. (You’ve probably just yawned again, still welcome)

When we get intentional about what we take in, and what we broadcast, we don’t just change our mood, we change the room.
We can change the atmosphere.
We can change the field.
We can change the future.

All from one good note.

That’s why as a composer, and in my day to day life, I’m deliberate and intentional about the frequencies I let in.
I choose resonance that feels real and true.
I create and choose sounds that lift the spirit, soothe or stir the soul and carry frequencies that ultimately heal.

Because music isn’t just beautiful.
It’s medicine.

And I want mine to be a double dose.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

In another post, I’ll dive deeper into the science of how specific frequencies affect our bodies and nervous system.

Look - I’m not a poet.

I’m not here to impress you with fancy words or deep metaphors.
I’m here because I feel things. Really deeply.
And if I don’t get those feelings out of me, they turn into headaches, weird dreams, or emotionally charged trips to the nearest ice cream store.

So I make music. Not because I’m trying to be profound - but because I don’t know how else to survive this wild, ridiculous, beautiful thing called life.

I’m here because I want to share that with you.

Sound Is How I Speak

The music I write isn’t just ‘music’ - it’s healing frequency.

I write to resonate.
To move you.
To move through you.
To find the parts you haven’t had the words for - and wrap them in sound.

I believe sound is sacred.
Music is memory and vibration - the kind that bypasses logic,
wiggles past language, and goes straight for the part of you that knows.

Every piece I share here is a score for the invisible:
for feelings that don’t have names,
for stories you never told out loud,
for healing that starts in the body
before the brain can catch up and label it.

I compose with purpose:
to shift mood, alter resonance, and create frequencies
that let people feel what their minds can’t explain -
but what their souls are starving for.

What I can’t speak, I score.
What words can’t hold, I shape into sound.

When I can’t say with words (which is pretty much all the time),
I let the music say for me.
Because honestly, music just gets it.
It bypasses the filters and goes straight to the soul.

These tracks are for anyone who’s been cracked open by life
and still showed up the next day.
For the feelings you couldn’t explain but felt anyway.

My mission is to help people find their resonance through music.

Life, Snacks & Sadness

I’ve always felt things at full volume.
Joy, grief, rage, shame, belly laughs - sometimes all before 10am.

I’m the kind of person who ugly ‘hyena’ cries watching dog reunion videos,
laughs in the middle of a fight because I suddenly realise how dramatic we sound,
and gets deeply moved by the smell of home made bread.

I cherish the little things:

• A hot coffee on a cold morning

• A cuddle with my Cavoodle (he’s basically my therapist with fur)

• A silent walk with someone I trust

• Sitting in front of a heater with hot cacao and something chocolatey.

But being this open-hearted comes with a shadow:

• Grief that overstays its welcome.

• The ache of wondering why I’m here.

• The gut-punch of betrayal.

• The quiet kind of loneliness that hits even when you’re surrounded.

Most of my spiritual breakthroughs involve snacks.
I’ve made peace with that.

I Gave My Sadness Cake (and a Violin Line)

For a long time, I thought being strong meant pushing past pain.
Smiling when I felt broken. Staying positive when everything felt heavy.

But now, I know better.
True strength is staying present.
It’s saying, “Okay sadness, you can sit with me a while. Want some cake?”

I don’t rush my feelings anymore. I sit with them.
Not because I’m a saint - but because I’ve realised they have something to say.

Sometimes the answer comes through a violin line I didn’t plan.
Sometimes it’s a piano chord my fingers just know.
Sometimes it’s silence. And that silence becomes the song.

Crying, Cacao, and Composing Through It All

While I wrote these songs, I don’t think of them as mine.

They come through me.

Most of the time, I don’t know what I’m doing until it’s done.
The process is messy and clumsy.
But then it’s done - and I cry.
Or laugh.
Or nap.
Or snack.

I’m not here to perform.
I’m here to channel.
I’m a coffee-fuelled conduit.
And a very grateful one at that.

These aren’t just tracks.
They’re the soundtracks to the parts of my story no one saw,
but I lived through anyway.

And if you’re here - whether you’re falling apart or finally coming home to yourself -
I hope this music finds you.

To remind you:
You’re not too much.
You’re not broken.
You’re just becoming.

• New songs as they flow

• Honest stories behind each track (including snack pairings, probably)
