How Does It Work?

During a Biofield Tuning session, a client lies fully clothed on a treatment table while the practitioner activates a tuning fork and scans the body slowly, beginning from a distance. The practitioner feels for resistance and turbulence in the client’s energy field and listens for a change in the overtones and undertones of the tuning fork. When the practitioner encounters a turbulent area, they continue to activate the tuning fork and hold it in that specific spot. Research suggests the body’s organizational energy uses the tuning fork’s steady, coherent vibrational frequency to “tune” itself. In short order, the dissonance resolves, and the sense of resistance gives way. This appears to correspond to the release of tension within the body.

Practitioners work with the “Biofield Anatomy Map,” a compilation of Biofield Tuning’s founder, Eileen Day McKusick’s 20+ years of biofield observations. Areas of dissonance can be pinpointed to a specific age and type of memory. For example, one might find a strong sense of sadness at age 12 or birth trauma at the outer edge of the biofield.

Holding an activated tuning fork in the area of a traumatic memory or another difficult time period produces repeatable, predictable outcomes. The sound input seems to help the body digest and integrate unprocessed experiences. As the biofield dissonance subsides, clients generally report feeling “lighter” and a diminishment or resolution of their symptoms.

One might interpret this as a kind of targeted nervous system biofeedback. Eileen has come to see this process as “consciousness hacking,” a side-door entry into the psyche – working with what has been hidden in plain view – which assists people in making changes they otherwise could not on their own.

Some conditions respond very well to Biofield Tuning, others not so much. Many practitioners integrate Biofield Tuning with tools from other modalities; not everyone practices Biofield Tuning in the exact same way.
