What is the Schumann’s resonance?
Earth’s frequency is generally referred to as the Schumann Resonance, clocked at 7.83 Hz, a very low humming frequency that has been called Earth’s heartbeat and Earth’s Om.

The Schumann Resonances (ScR) are Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) electromagnetic resonances in the Earth-ionosphere cavity excited by global lightning discharges. ScR is the part of the electromagnetic field (EMF) of Earth.
This global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952. Schumann resonances occur because the space between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere acts as a closed waveguide. The limited dimensions of the Earth cause this waveguide to act as a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves in the ELF band. The cavity is naturally excited by electric currents in lightning. Schumann resonances are the principal background in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum from 3 Hz through 60 Hz and appear as distinct peaks at extremely low frequencies around 7.83 Hz (fundamental) 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.
Those waves emerge from energy discharges such as thunderstorms, lightning, or solar wind within the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere. They exist around the globe. Various scientists have discovered a correlation to our health based on studies and experiments; their absence can result in a variety of disorders from headaches to cancerous diseases.
The earth resonance, determined by Schumann and Koenig, was tested and confirmed in hindsight by several independent scientists, such as Professor Michael A. Persinger (NASA). Since the experimentally determined earth frequency, Schumann Resonance has become the scientific term for the earth’s frequency, which revolves around the description and measurement of the earth’s “pulse” or “Heartbeat”. The earth frequency was first mentioned by George F. Fitzgerald in 1893. Tesla also spoke of this frequency: “Alpha waves in the human brain are between 6 and 8 hertz. The wave frequency of the human cavity resonates between 6 and 8 hertz. All biological systems operate in the same frequency range. The human brain's alpha waves function in this range and the electrical resonance of the earth is between 6 and 8 hertz. Thus, our entire biological system – the brain and the earth itself – works on the same frequencies. If we can control that resonate system electronically, we can directly control the entire mental system of humankind“.
So what is the connection between frequencies and health?
Professor Rütger Wever of the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Physiology in Erling-Andechs, Germany, conducted studies on the Schumann resonance using an underground bunker that completely blocked electromagnetic fields. Wever and 447 human volunteers lived in a closed environment for four weeks. One of the experimental rooms was shielded against natural magnetic and electric fields. During this time, he noted that the students suffered from mental stress and migraines. He then reintroduced the Schumann Resonances to their surroundings and the results were incredible. After a short exposure to 7,83 Hz the health of the volunteers stabilised. This showed a direct relation between human beings and the earth’s “pulse”. This project was corroborated later in 2011 by Luc Montagnier. Several references have shown that the DNA double helix is like an antenna. DNA sequences communicate with one another via electromagnetic waves.
Research by E. Jacobi at the University of Düsseldorf has shown that the absence of Schumann waves can cause mental and physical health problems in the human body. Schumann's resonances are an important topic in many research areas, including Biological evolutionary processes, The optimal functioning of the human brain waves, and Lightning-related studies.
Professor Persinger and other reputable professors such as Dr. Ludwig declared and considered this frequency as a “biological norm”. Astronauts who left the ionosphere and re-entered Earth suffered from strong physiological conflicts. Persinger recognized the problem and fixed it. He designed little generators, which transmitted the Schumann Resonances, for astronauts to carry with them and protect them.
Concerning the earth’s magnetic field’s impact on the brain, the scientific studies of Caltech show that the human brain exhibits magnetic crystals. These are magnetite Fe3O4. Absorption follows the law of the “classical physics process of resonance matching of frequency”. Electromagnetic signals within the brain or of the brainwaves are supported via biochemical systems. The Schumann Resonance affects the melatonin/serotonin balance, resulting in several illnesses such as cancer, heart problems, etc. In addition to Schumann excitation, solar activity and geomagnetic activity (GMA) also interact with the brain.
According to approx. 120 studies, which have been conducted since 2003, a correlation between solar activity and homeostatic modulation in humans exists, meaning a negative alteration of the hormonal balance. This also yields, that solar affects the melatonin balance, which simultaneously alters the signal strength of the Schumann Resonance. This leads to negative consequences regarding human health.
What is the impact of the Schumann frequency on the brain?
Using the above-listed frequencies, the Schumann Resonances are within the area of the dream phase and relaxed wakefulness. Certain brain regions such as the hippocampus, the hypothalamus, and the pineal gland (epiphysis) come into resonance with the Schumann Resonances.
The limbic system, which the hippocampus is part of, consists of several structures, which are generally responsible for emotions, learning, digestion, or reproduction. The exact function of the Hippocampus is not thoroughly investigated and there are many unanswered questions, but Professor Dietmar Schmitz from the Charité Medical School in Berlin offers the following statement: “A disturbance of the rhythms within the hippocampus can be a possible cause for pathological conditions such as epilepsies, schizophrenias or memory disorders within the framework of Alzheimer’s disease”.
The pineal gland is responsible for the production of melatonin and therefore for the management of the sleep hormone. The pineal gland can detect electromagnetic fields. Biological implications of the pineal gland in connection to electromagnetic fields have been researched for over 45 years; hereto, several studies exist. They substantiate the affection of the pineal gland, thus among others the influence of the melatonin balance.
The correlation between frequencies and health is not a discovery. Various independent scientists have been working on this topic. Based on experiments and studies, the initial assumed hypothesis was underpinned. The Schumann resonance is the frequency that help us to synchronize ourselves into a relaxed state. If you live in a city it is harder to synchronize yourself to this frequency as too many other frequencies are overlapping it (besides the Schumann frequency, other frequencies or frequency ranges should influence the well-being of living organisms.)
