The Simple Use of Tuning Forks Zacciah's Sound Tools Recommendations! I have worked with healing sound conscientiously
since before making my first bamboo flutes in 1974.
An excellent beginning,
and very simple tool for sound therapy, is Biosonics Body
Tuners.
(Not just for beginners!! I am fascinated, after nearly 40 years of
instrument use, with the benefit many experience remarkably easily with
these tuning forks!) These are a set of two tuning forks composed in a
perfect fifth interval, a C and a G.This is called a 'perfect fifth'
because, to the human ear, this interval creates a perfect harmony,
deeply relaxing and restorative to the human ear.
Modern
science confirms what the ancients knew, and why they composed much
music with this sacred interval. Listening to it is shown to create
deep relaxation, which can lead to a state of homeostasis (causing self
repair in our neurology and physiology,) oxygenation of the blood, as
well as to stimulate natural cycles
of the release of nitric oxide in the blood,
known as 'puffing'. It is a natural tendency, as we age, for this
cycle to deplete. And, modern medicine believes the depletion of the
cycle contributes to many chronic diseases, as well as the overall
depletion of tissue we see in aging.
The
work of John Beaulieu, ND, PhD, founder of the Biosonics Tuning Forks,
shows the 'puffing' cycle is invigorated through simply listening to
this harmonic interval for a few minutes morning and night. His
studies also show significant mood elevation and other notable factors,
as he uses the interval in his therapies for depression and other
psychological and physiological disorders.
The forks can be used by simply striking them gently together, on one's palms or knees, or a sturdy surface (one that won't be scratched,) such as a table top (We use a hockey puck, a perfect tool for this.) One
then simply listens to the gently stimulating sounds of the harmonic
fifth tuning forks, or moves them around the 'energy field' of one self
or others. One can dance or move rythmically with them to further
invigorate one's system. But, simply sitting and listening can create
deeply relaxing and restorative states, as well as the added benefit,
scientifically proven, of stimulating the natural release of nitric
oxide in the blood, with its many proven benefits.
