Stillness in the Storm
(Stillness in the Storm Editor) Iona Miller wrote the following extensive research paper discussing the infamous Schumann Resonance. While it might be challenging to review this kind information, I highly recommend doing so because it will provide the essential first-hand knowledge needed to understand the energetic nature of existence.
There is one thread to this paper that will likely be controversial, which is that the Schumann Resonance is not rising, as many have suggested for decades. However, before reacting to that statement, please take the time to understand the evidence at hand and know that the general principle of energetic shifting is still valid, as I will attempt to explain.
There are numerous images of Schuman Resonance readings circulating the internet that are cited as examples of it rising. In order to understand what is represented in these graphs, we’ll briefly discuss the Schumann Resonance and how it is produced.
The space in between the surface of the earth and the ionosphere, an approximately 50- to 375-mile thick layer of non-luminous plasma or charged atmospheric gas, forms an electromagnetic resonant cavity, with a potential resonant frequency range known as the Schumann Resonances. This is also known as the earth-ionosphere waveguide system.
Lightning is the most common source of energy for what is known as exciting the Schuman Resonances because it acts like an antenna, radiating pulses of electromagnetic energy in the extremely low-frequency range that is resonant with the ionosphere. It moves outwardly along the earth’s surface and atmosphere like a pebble hitting a pond. This rings the cavity like a bell, which appears as excitation pulses (energy blips) on monitoring stations or a continuous line for longer spans of time.
Much like the sound of a loud guitar plugged into an amplifier rings a snare drum nearby, or a loud sound in a house that shakes the windows, or the sound of an echo in a valley or canyon, the atmosphere “rings like a bell” when it is excited, but the ringing is electromagnetic, instead of sonic.

The resonant cavity itself—the physical space between the surface of the earth and the ionosphere—creates the Schumann Resonances, an electromagnetic spectrum or scale. The only way to change this frequency range is to change the size of the earth itself or the ionosphere—but these two factors remain fairly constant over time, which means that the baseline resonances themselves do not change. However, the cavity is not perfect, and there are various factors that can alter the ionosphere’s size and shape, which have a small effect on the frequencies in the scale.
The Schumann Resonances are a series of potentiated frequencies, with a baseline of 7.83 Hz, ascending in harmonic progression up the electromagnetic range to 14.3, 20.8, 27.3 and 33.8 Hz—the first four modes. The higher the Hz value, the shorter the wavelength and the more energy dense the waveform.
The important thing to understand is that these frequencies are potentiated, which means they do not “ring” or “sound” until the atmosphere is “struck.”
Consider a musical analogy.
A piano is a device that produces sound waves when a key is depressed on the keyboard, striking a string held in tension with a hammer. If no keys are depressed, the piano doesn’t make any sound—you can’t hear any of the notes—although they have the potential to make a sound. If the piano is at rest, when no one is playing, then all the frequencies that correspond to the keys are potentiated—they are there waiting to make a sound but haven’t been struck yet.
The Schumann Resonances are similar in that each frequency band is “quiet” until something hits it, most often, lightning strikes.
What does this have to do with the Schumann Resonance not rising?
This is important because the thing we call the Schumann Resonance is a kind of “map” of what is happening in the atmosphere; it is a mathematically derived prediction that says when the atmosphere is struck, it should produce frequencies in a certain range.
The Y axis represents frequency in Hz and the X axis is time. This is one of the many types of Schumann Resonance data sets that can be found online, but there are others as we’ll see below.
Interpreting the graph, notice the bands marked MODE 1 through 4—these are the Schumann Resonances “ringing” as they are “struck” by lightning and other sources. Because the wavelengths are so long, as well as the imperfections of the resonant cavity, the lines in the graph are not well defined, more like hazy speed bumps. The 7.83 Hz value, is the most visible because it is the most excited or energized—the loudest.
With this information in hand, you now have the ability to interpret Schumann Resonance graphs yourself. The bright patches in the graph correspond to energy intensity; the brighter the area, the more energy that is coming through.
When spikes in energy are recorded at ranges higher than the baseline of 7.83 Hz, it appears as a bright burst on the graph, like this:

n this plot from the 13th of November, 2014, a large scale excitation event caused the four modes mentioned earlier (7.83,14.3, 20.8, 27.3 and 33.8 Hz) to spike in activity— the right-hand side of the graph. The “spike” in energy is some kind of excitation event, which energized frequency ranges all the way up to 32 Hz. The fact that the resonances were excited is what makes the spike appear in the graph; however, the Schumann Resonance scale (the potential set of frequencies) has not changed and this appears to be the source of the confusion.
Side note: The white patches above are examples of the sensor used to gather the data being overloaded due to the intensity energy excitation event. This is similar to what happens when attempting to film the sun or a brightly lit object with a camera that isn’t capable of handling the light intensity, whiting out the image.
The inference is that the baseline frequency of the Schuman Resonance spiked to 24 Hz, as marked by the red arrow. But this is not correct.
Notice that all the Schumann Resonances of 7.83,14.3, 20.8, 27.3 and 33.8 Hz are excited and fall within the standard frequency range calculated by Schumann. What this means is that the Schumann Resonance range itself has not changed—the atmosphere was excited and it “rattled” the resonant cavity.
The value marked by the red arrow, or close to it, is the fourth mode, 27.3 Hz—a frequency within the Schumann range
So while the range itself did not shift up, the energy within the system did spike to a high level. And that will affect life on Earth.
What else can excite the atmosphere and cause higher ranges to ring?
Cosmic rays, coronal mass ejections, lunar cycles, the solar wind, and most strikingly, artificial EM sources like HAARP, all have the ability to excite the Schumann cavity to produce spikes in the higher ranges, as the below paper details with precision.
What does this mean for the notion of energetic ascension and evolution?
For those concerned, the good news is that the only thing this changes is your understanding of what is actually happening. Events themselves are still influencing us and doing what they do.
The understanding of energetic evolution is dependent upon a comprehension of entrainment or sympathetic resonance. Our bodies are in harmony with the earth’s electromagnetic field and output, which is in turn, harmonic with the sun, which is in turn, harmonic with the galaxy, and so on. This means that literally the entire cosmos is playing a part in what happens here on Earth.
What we can say with a high degree of certainty is that the energy pouring in from all sources is having a marked effect on our bodies and minds; this is unrefuted and confirmed in mainstream science.
We also know that DNA is an antenna, receiving information via electromagnetic and scalar wave phenomenon that alters the behavior and expression of the body-mind system.
Finally, solar and galactic cycles also play a major role in evolution, including human consciousness. And there is what NASA is calling “local fluff”—an energetic field that is influencing the solar system.
All these data points—properly understood and contextualized—suggest the energetic broth that the earth is swimming in is changing. And via the concept of entrainment, we know that changing the information contained within a field alters the behavior of the things contained within.
Thus, spikes in the Schumann Resonance signify that energy is entering the earth, and with it, information that will unquestionably play a role in evolution.
I hope that this and what follows sheds new light and understanding on the often misunderstood topic of “rising Schumann Resonance” along with many other fascinating aspects of how what has been called the earth’s heartbeat plays a major role in our lives.
