Back to Eileen Day McKusick: In her book “Tuning the Human Biofield” she describes the use of tuning forks in the context of the bioelectric field (biofield) of the human body. Other words for it are ‘aura’, ‘energy field’ or ‘chi’.
She believes that the ‘biofield’ is able to receive and store information from the environment and that it plays an important role in maintaining physical and mental health. According to McKusick, by targeting specific points on the body, such as the meridians or chakras, with tuning forks, blockages and disturbances in the bioelectric field can be released, leading to stress reduction, inner peace and vitality.
Many things also happen at the biochemical and physiological level of our body via the frequencies of the tuning forks. Some studies have shown that the body reduces stress hormones such as cortisol and instead releases hormones such as serotonin and endorphins, which are associated with positive emotions and relaxation. There is also some evidence that tuning forks can improve blood flow and circulation. Likewise, applying vibration to the body has been shown to reduce muscle tension and improve muscle tone. This can help reduce tension and pain.
This way you can see how many beneficial effects practicing with tuning forks can have. For a better overview, I summarize the most important aspects:
-
More relaxation and improved stress reduction
-
Improved sleep quality
-
Relief from pain and discomfort
-
Mental health support
-
Improving physical health
In addition to tuning forks made of steel or aluminum, they are also available in crystal glass, which fits perfectly with the AkashaBowls®. For more information click here.
The size and shape of the tuning fork may vary depending on the application. Some tuning forks have longer and thinner tines, while others have shorter and thicker tines. Tuning forks can also come in different pitches or frequencies to suit different needs. There are also body tuning forks with weights.
