MagHealy's Earth Program and the Schumann Resonance
What the Schumann resonance is, why MagHealy includes a 7.83 Hz Earth program in its Classic module, and what research does and doesn't say.

MagHealy works with magnetic fields. Its Classic module, available in every MagHealy edition, includes a program called Earth, which uses a frequency of 7.83 Hz: the best-known Schumann resonance.
What is the Schumann resonance?
The space between the earth’s surface and the ionosphere acts like a giant resonant cavity. Lightning strikes around the world constantly excite it, producing very low-frequency electromagnetic waves. The strongest of these, at about 7.83 Hz, was predicted by physicist Winfried Otto Schumann in 1952 and is often called the earth’s natural rhythm.
Why it interests people
All life on earth has evolved in the presence of this natural background field. Some researchers have explored whether it relates to human wellbeing, for example to relaxation, sleep and brain rhythms; 7.83 Hz falls in the range of the brain’s alpha and theta waves. This research is still at an early stage, and no firm conclusions can be drawn yet.
Many people simply like the idea of reconnecting with the earth’s rhythm, especially when we spend most of the day indoors, surrounded by electronics.
Using the Earth program
- It’s in the Classic module of MagHealy, so every edition has it.
- Place MagHealy on your body or near you while you rest, read or work.
- Many users pair it with time outdoors, barefoot on grass.
MagHealy Pro adds the Atmosphere, Water and McMakin modules, and MagHealy Obsidian adds McMakin Plus and Meridian. See them all on our MagHealy page.
