Acutonics® Tuning Fork Therapy
Every cell in our body is a sound resonator. Every cell lives in a dynamic rhythmic pattern. Each organ has its own cycle and its own pulse. Each and every system has a cycle, rhythm, pattern, and pulse that exist in resonant harmony and sympathy to the cycles of the earth and the heavens. These body systems respond to sound vibration, as do our spiritual, mental, and emotional states of consciousness. — Donna Carey
The Acutonics System incorporates the use of precision calibrated tuning forks that represent a specific vibratory energetic, with their own unique frequency and properties. These frequencies are applied directly to acupuncture points, chakras, and points of pain to access the bodies core energetic systems in a noninvasive way. By combining two forks together a specific musical interval is created that has its own unique character and properties. For example, when the Mars and Venus tuning forks are combined together they create a musical 5th, which is an opening, and also represents a balance between yin and yang, male and female, head and heart.
The human body is approximately 70% water; our bones and marrow contain nearly 25% water, and sound travels four times faster in water than in air, thus the human body becomes a natural resonator for sound. At the most basic level, we know that certain music can invoke joy, bring on sadness, reduce stress, or keep us going on the elliptical trainer, with its steady rhythmic beat. The use of music for relaxation and stress reduction has been studied extensively. But perhaps more difficult to prove is that music also helps us to connect on a profound level to the heavens. If you’ve ever sung in a choir, the very nature of voices blended together lift you to new heights.
Think for a moment about how you feel physically when your ears are assaulted by harsh or abrasive sounds, a jackhammer in the street, the screech of a fingernail on a blackboard, a car alarm that won’t quit. Do these sounds make you edgy? Or how perhaps listening to a symphonic orchestra, playing Handel’s Messiah, or choral voices, singing the Halleluiah chorus, can bring about a sense of peace or joy, or invoke memories of holiday gatherings.
It is this growing recognition of the power that music and sound play in therapy, healing, and life that has given rise to the rapidly growing professional fields of Sound Healing and Music Therapy.
