Healing the Body Using Tuning Forks, say Whaaa?

weightedtuningforkA few months back, I had no idea that sound healing even existed.  Not to mention, sound healing with tuning forks! However, I had attended a crystal bowl meditation session with a dear friend and after experiencing this, I had new found passion that was calling me.   On this new journey, I read and began research on the sound concept and came across the use of tuning forks for healing and tuning the human biofield or aura (area 5-6 ft around the body).

So what the heck is a tuning fork and how is it used for sound healing? According to Dr. John Beaulieu, an expert in the study of sound healing, he describes how the use of tuning forks can help the body:

The sound of your nervous system is an indicator of your current internal state and carries a lot of information. If you’re very stressed, for example, it will sound more shrill and intense. If you’re relaxed, it will sound more flowing and soft. Once you become used to the sound of your nervous system, you can use tuning forks to help you retune your body. More advanced users are able to open the gateway to different states of consciousness. It’s a tool to help you get in touch with your inner landscape and live with more awareness and richness. If you have health issues, the application of tuning forks to pressure points stimulates the release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is made inside the vascular, nerve and immune cells and is rhythmically released into the surrounding tissues as a gas. It participates in the healthy functioning of all main organ systems and acts as a signaling molecule and attacking molecule neutralizing viruses, bacteria, and other free radicals. We’ve even tested it in laboratory experiments demonstrating the healing power of sound.

This theory basically states that we are made of atoms and particles, and that each part of us vibrates and this creates a sound.  The entire universe is connected on the basis that everything has a vibrational pattern or sound resonance. It has been described by those in the field as:

Every organ, cell, bone, tissue and liquid of the body, and also the electromagnetic fields which surround the body (aura), has a healthy vibratory frequency. If we are not resonating with some part of ourselves or of our surroundings, we become dissonant and therefore unhealthy. Our naturally healthy frequency becomes a frequency that vibrates without harmony, creating illness.

The use of tuning forks in the biofield or aura allows sound waves to penetrate our bodies and our energy centers or chakras to help heal the body, mind and spirit.  This is considered an alternative or holistic approach to healing, and those who have experienced sound healing with tuning forks have received great relief from every day ailments and dis-ease.  I am just beginning my practice with clients, however I encourage you to do your research and if interested, give it a try, please feel free to contact me or a local practitioner in your area.

I am currently studying with Eileen McKusick at the Biofield Tuning Institute and will complete my training in the fall of 2016.
