Music, Spirit & Frequency: Rediscovering Worship as Sacred Communication

Have you ever found yourself sitting in a church service, listening to the worship music and wondering…

Is this really what worship is meant to feel like?

Not in a judgemental way, but in that deep, curious way that stirs when something within you longs for more.

Growing up, I loved to sing. I’d write lyrics and poetry, often pouring out the things I couldn’t quite express in conversation. It felt alive. But when I entered into a more structured faith community, I noticed something… the music felt flat. Lifeless. Like we were singing songs about joy, but the tune carried no joy at all.

“Almost like the emotion had been stripped away, replaced with duty and ritual.”

I often felt more connected to the sense of community than I did to the actual message or movement of the music.

Maybe you’ve felt that, too? Like worship became something you endured, especially if you weren’t musically inclined or if you came from an environment where hymns were more routine than revelation.

It’s only now, through healing and research and through a deepening connection with my body, spirit, and the Word that I’m beginning to understand what music was truly designed to do. Music wasn’t supposed to be ritualistic or obligatory.

It was always meant to move us. To restore. To connect. To awaken.

I’ve been creating a unique webinar that helps people explore the body through scripture, and in this process, I’ve turned back to music but differently. I’m now looking at music through the lens of energy, the Spirit, and healing. What I’ve found has been nothing short of transformative.

There’s an entire field of research emerging on how certain frequencies particularly 432 Hz and 528 Hz can impact our emotional and physical wellbeing. These aren’t new discoveries. These frequencies have always been around. They are embedded in creation, in nature, and I believe, in us.

• 432 Hz is often referred to as the natural frequency of the universe. It promotes balance, coherence, emotional healing, and a deeper sense of connection. Many of the sounds found in nature the rustling of trees, birdsong, water flowing—resonate with this frequency.

• 528 Hz, known as the love frequency, has been studied for its ability to support DNA repair, healing, and spiritual transformation. Doesn’t that sound like the very heart of God?

  “The greatest of these is love.” His love restores, heals, and renews.

Dr. Glen Rein from the Institute of HeartMath explored how music at these frequencies affects human DNA and found measurable effects. It reminds me that God’s design for music was never just about entertainment or even tradition.

It was about wholeness. Restoration. Communication.

Scripture is rich with these moments, too.

“Whenever the spirit of God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.”
(1 Samuel 16:23)

This wasn’t a passive moment. The music brought emotional, spiritual, and energetic relief. It shifted something.

Or take 2 Kings 3:15-16:

“But now bring me a harpist.” While the harpist was playing, the hand of the Lord came on Elisha, and he said, “This is what the Lord says: I will fill this valley with pools of water.”

The playing of music invited the presence of God. It opened space for the prophetic word. It was a gateway of communication.

So now, when I listen to worship music, I don’t just hear melody, I feel. I reflect. I allow the sound to anchor the Word into my body. I become curious:

What is this stirring in me? What is God revealing through this harmony?

As I continue creating this practice, this embodied exploration of scripture through movement, sound, and reflection, I’ve begun intentionally listening to Christian music tuned to 432 or 528 Hz. I invite you to do the same.

Let it be more than background noise. Let it be a sacred encounter.

A way to allow God’s word to sink deeper into your being not just heard, but felt.

So the next time you worship, notice.
What is the word and the music doing within you?
Are you allowing yourself to feel the movement of the Spirit, not just sing about it?

Worship was never meant to be endured. It was meant to transform.
