Tuning forks were originally one of the coveted musical instruments because they emanated perfect sine wave patterns. Nevertheless, the sound patterns they produced allowed you to fine-tune other musical instruments to the proper pitch.
If you’ve ever used a tuning fork, you’ll notice that once you strike it, the air around the fork vibrates; hence, sending out strong vibrating impulses into the air that you’ll hear as sound. Therefore, it is evident that they form a bridge between sound and structure.
They are physical in nature yet have the ability to vibrate strongly to transmit that vibration. Several curious scientists found out the vibrations produced by the tuning fork were beneficial to the human body. The studies discovered a new therapy from this vibration, which had remarkable benefits. The therapy was given the name tuning fork therapy.
What is tuning fork therapy?
It is a gentle and non-invasive acoustic therapy that helps to balance the energy of your body. The therapy is based on the principle that everything vibrates that includes the human body.
How does tuning fork work?
As mentioned above, the human body vibrates. The vibration of the human body ‘aligns’ perfectly with vibrations from a tuning fork, because every atom, molecule, cell, and DNA of the body is constructed from geometric forms that fit together.
Therefore, the vibration and resonance of the tuning forks connect and support the natural frequencies of the body. Hence, the sound waves of the forks vibrate and travel deeply into your body along the energy pathways bringing about a sense of healing.
In simple terms, the tuning fork therapy works by taking a tuning fork and striking it near any body part that you wish to heal.
Application of tuning fork
Now that we know how tuning fork works let’s look at its application. The first place you can use this instrument is on the physical body.
You can place the stem of the activated tuning fork on the articulations and bones if you want to restore flexibility and movement as well as aid in the development of the connective tissue. They achieve this by stimulating the flow of blood and lymph to the area of application; thereby, speeding up the healing process. Moreover, they promote deep relaxation and elimination of toxins and stress on joints.
By placing the activated tuning fork near the ears – not close than 5 cm, it helps to regulate and balance the metabolism of all the organs, which link directly to the auditory nerve. By doing this also, it promotes deep stimulation or relaxation on the entire nervous system.
On top of that, the tuning forks can be used in the bio-energetic fields around your body, also referred to as the aura or subtle energy bodies.
Benefits of tuning forks
- Promotes balance in the nervous system
- Tunes natural cycles of the body
- Unites passages in the body
- Promote healing of strained tendon, muscle, and ligaments
- Increases bone density
- Keeps stress and anxiety balance
- Relaxes muscle tension
- Opens energetic pathways; thus, relieving pain alleviating stasis
- Promotes homeostasis and balance in the body
Final Thoughts
Given the vibratory nature of the tuning fork and that of our body, tuning fork therapy is a fast and effective therapy that brings each meridian and its corresponding organ(s) in our bodies back into harmony. It is an effective therapy that promotes sound healing in our bodies. Try it and get to enjoy the benefits it offers to the human body.
