Sound Healing with Tuning Forks
What is Tuning Fork therapy?
Acutonics® Tuning Fork therapy is a unique system of sound healing - an energy-based, non-invasive approach rooted in Chinese Medicine, with results similar to acupuncture. Precision-calibrated tuning forks are applied to specific acupuncture points on the body to access the Meridian and Chakra energy systems. Tuning forks are used to correct imbalances, uncover emotions, stimulate transformation and facilitate inner harmony and wholeness. As well as their healing benefits, they also have powerful rejuvenating effects when applied to the face, similar to micro-current or facial acupuncture.
The body is made up of 70% water, and as sound travels 4x faster in water, it makes a perfect resonator for sound. The sound waves of the forks vibrate and travel deeply into the body along energy pathways, affecting human physiology and reaching places not easily accessed. Their rich resonance and vibration connects with and supports the body's natural frequencies, stimulates and balances the body's physical and subtle energy field, and promotes wellness and deep inner harmony.
Each Acutonics® Tuning Fork is precision-tuned to a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Earth, Moon, Sun and planets. Each musical combination, or interval, used in the Acutonics Healing System has it’s own unique healing properties.
The Benefits of Tuning Fork therapy
The benefits of tuning fork therapy are similar to those of acupuncture and as the forks are non-invasive, it’s a good option for those who cannot tolerate needles. The resonance itself is also deeply therapeutic, relaxing and balancing. The cosmic tones from various forks provide a vibrational link that helps soul, mind, and body connect back to their divine harmonies.
Tuning Fork therapy also has similar effects to facial acupuncture when applied to the face. Specific vibrations tone, lift and invigorate the muscles, improving circulation and resulting in an overall rejuvenating effect - as well as restoring internal balance. Among the many benefits, tuning forks help to:
Balance the nervous system
Reduce stress and tension
Promote cellular repair
Help Qi to flow freely in the body
Enhance relaxation
Strengthen and tone muscles
Stimulates collagen and elastin production
Softens wrinkles and reduces sagging skin
During the Soma Rituals treatments, tuning forks are applied gently at various stages to ground one’s energy, boost immunity and balance the system. During longer treatments, tuning forks are also used as part of a facial protocol to further rejuvenate the face following facial gua sha. The vibrations of specific forks serve to tone and lift the facial muscles, while the relaxing sound of the vibrations soothes and calms. Results are immediate and last several days.
