Quieting the Ruminating Mind: Finding Relief in Sound

Do you ever find yourself caught in loops of worry, overthinking every detail? You’re not alone. I’ve struggled with a ruminating mind for as long as I can remember—constantly replaying thoughts, driven by fear or a need for answers. It’s exhausting, often keeping me awake at night, as if overthinking might somehow solve everything.

Experts suggest that rumination is a way to feel in control when outcomes are uncertain. Traditional practices like journaling or mantras can help, but they don’t always break the cycle. So, I began exploring something new: music frequencies.

Music frequencies tap into parts of our minds beyond the logical.

Certain sounds can interrupt the cycle of rumination, gently shifting us into a more restful state.  For me, using these frequencies is like pressing a reset button—not to turn thoughts off, but to finally allow the mind to relax.

That’s why we created the Power Down candle: an immersive blend of scent and sound designed to transform your evening ritual. Paired with calming music tuned to 999 Hz, it’s more than a way to unwind—it’s a tool to help you release the day with intention and step into calm.

If you’re also gripped by rumination, try the Power Down experience and feel how the soothing power of scent and sound can bring you back to yourself.

Sometimes, relief lies in simply finding a new way to listen. I'd love to hear from you, join our socials and let's stay connected in wellness together.
