FAQs

This answer pertains to what happens during an in-person Biofield Tuning session (when the practitioner and client are in the same room). To learn about what happens during an audio session or a group audio session, please visit the Audio & Distance Sessions cagtegory at the top of this page.

During an in-person Biofield Tuning session, the client lies fully clothed, face up, on a treatment table (much like a massage table) while the Biofield Tuning practitioner applies the handles of vibrating tuning forks to specific points on the client's body. The practitioner also slowly moves tuning forks over the recipient's body.

Clients will feel the difference in the vibration of the tuning forks depending on which spot is being touched. They will also hear how the sound of the tuning fork changes depending on where the fork is held over the body.

The practitioner works towards the body starting from about 5-6 feet away, listening for "noise" in the "signal" and feeling for a sense of resistance. When they encounter an area of perturbation, they pause.

The introduction of the coherent frequency of the tuning fork into a client's area of incoherence causes the body to “auto-tune” itself, resulting in a resolution of the "noise" and a releasing of the resistance held in relationship to it.

The resistance or charge that was held in that particular area is then dissolved and "swept back" into circulation.

The simple action of treating areas of dissonance in a client's energy field creates targeted and immediate relaxation that can bring resolution to a wide variety of ailments.

Biofield Tuning is cumulative; every session builds on the one prior to it. Like chiropractic trains the bones to find their balanced relationship, Biofield Tuning trains the magnetic/electric system of the body to flow in a balanced, rhythmically harmonious way.

If a person has had long-term, extreme, non-beneficial inputs, it will take longer to achieve balance. Younger people respond more quickly than older people.

Generally, a minimum of three sessions is recommended to begin. Often, a presenting symptom can be cleared within three sessions. If there is no change in a condition after three sessions then it is likely that Biofield Tuning will not be able to help with that particular condition.

There are no age limits for receiving Biofield Tuning, however less is more with both seniors and children, who generally should receive shorter sessions. Children between the ages of 2-6 can become very hyperactive after Biofield Tuning sessions.

Many Biofield Tuning Practitioners have reported that clients with conditions such as Parkinson's, MS and diabetes have experienced relief in symptoms via Biofield Tuning treatments.

Please note, although Biofield Tuning can work well for these conditions, please read our Cautions and Guidance category at the top of this page if you have active cancer, are pregnant, are terminally ill or have an implanted electronic device.

We view conditions such as depression and/or bipolar disorders as "tonal" imbalances rather than chemical imbalances, which could be readily addressed with Biofield Tuning.

Animals respond beautifully to Biofield Tuning. Biofield Tuning has helped pets stop being fearful of thunder, more trusting of strangers, stop fussing with hotspots, and generally enter a healthier, relaxed state. Pets respond well to in-person Biofield Tuning and also when they receive Biofield Tuning from a distance (aka known as "distance work").

Biofield Tuning recipients may experience a "detox response" after a session. This is completely normal and means the body is releasing stress and trauma. Generally, these symptoms pass within 1-3 days.

The following are possible symptoms of detox:

• Fatigue

• Waves of emotions – crying, being angry, sad

• Loose stools

• Exhaustion

• Headaches and/or dizziness

• Flu-like symptoms

• In very rare instances - skin rashes, mucus, fevers, vomiting, excessive thirst

If you are having a detox response from your Biofield Tuning session - especially if it is an extreme response - we highly recommend that you contact your Practitioner. They will be able to support you through your detox and schedule another session to help move it through.

Eileen Day McKusick, MA is a researcher, inventor, educator, practitioner and speaker who has been working with sound therapeutically since 1996. She is the founder of the sound therapy method Biofield Tuning, and is recognized for her detailed mapping of the anatomy and physiology of the human biomagnetic field. Thousands of students worldwide work with her Biofield Anatomy Map to locate and resolve and understand imbalances in the body's electrical system.

Acutonics® is a system of vibrational sound healing that uses tuning forks the body's grid system of acupuncture points and meridians. The tuning forks are used on and off the body.

Rooted in Oriental medicine and philosophy, Acutonics is unique in its use of:

• tuning forks tuned to planetary frequencies

• combining two forks to create a musical intervas

• planetary archetypes

The Schumann resonances (SR) are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, generated and excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earth's surface and the ionosphere.

While a variety of sources report that the Schumann resonances are increasing, this information does not impact the effectiveness or usefulness of our forks that are based on the 7.83 Hz average of this background pulse of electrical activity within the earth’s ionosphere.

In order for this fundamental frequency to increase, the distance between the earth’s surface and the inner boundary of the ionosphere would have to be decreasing. There is no evidence this is happening.

What appears to be going on based on the limited amount of information available, is that the amplitude or the strength of the signal has been fluctuating, causing the higher harmonics of this frequency to be more strongly accented. The fundamental remains the same.

We have perceived no difference in the way the body receives these frequencies despite the fluctuation of the signal.
