What is Biofield Tuning?
Biofield Tuning was developed by Eileen Day McKusick, an independent researcher and educator in sound therapy and biofield science. Since 1996, she has been working with tuning forks, spending countless hours listening to how their tones interact with the human body. Through this work, she discovered consistent patterns within the sounds when applied in the biofield. She also found that the vibration of the tuning forks—used both on and off the body—could shift distorted rhythms and restore coherence to the field.
The distorted rhythms or imbalances that appear in the biofield often reflect patterns created by the impacts of past experiences, beginning as early as gestation, and include familial or ancestral conditioning passed down through generations. Each session is unique, with the client’s energy field guiding the practitioner to the areas that are ready for attention and release.
As a result, Biofield Tuning can create profound, lasting shifts in wellbeing and balance.
Important Observations to Consider
A few important things I’ve noticed after practicing Biofield Tuning for some time:
-
Even if a client has already processed an experience on a conscious level, the energy of that experience can still remain in the biofield, waiting to be released.
-
Biofield Tuning often works more on the subconscious level than the conscious. You may come in with a clear intention for the session, but the patterns you’re seeking to release often live across many layers of time in your field and could present like the following:
-
You don’t consciously remember (often from early childhood), or
-
May not seem directly related to your stated concern—because healing is complex, and many patterns are interconnected.
-
-
Since this work engages the subconscious, you might not always experience as many conscious ah-ha moments as other modalities. Instead, healing often happens quietly, showing up as subtle shifts, often finding that you’re less triggered than before.
Biofeild Tuning Q & A
What does a Biofeild Tuning session look like?
In the first session, clients will fill out an intake form so I can learn more about you and your needs for the session.
In-person, the recipient remains clothed except for shoes and lies in a comfortable relaxed position on a massage table. Tuning forks are used on and off the body with some light touch.
Remotely, the clients will lay down in a comfortable place away from distractions. I will remain on a video or phone call during the duration of the session with the client as I move through the biofield.
I start with an opening sequence to ground the client and then find the outer edge of the field and move inward towards the body. I generally talk about what I am hearing and sensing, however, clients do not need to reveal any personal information if they don't feel comfortable doing so.
I will ask the client if they are experiencing and feeling anything. This usually gives me clues to how the body is responding to the work and highly charged areas are being released. It is also extremely beneficial for the client to pay attention to the sensations that arise in your body. It brings conscious awareness back to the body and highlights the areas in which past events and emotions have been stored.
What does a tuning session feel like?
Everyone is different and will have a unique experience to a Biofield Tuning treatment. Some individuals may not feel a thing, however, rest assured that it is still working. Some people experience the following, however not limited to:
-
Tingling
-
Movement of energy
-
Waves of emotions
-
Involuntary muscle contractions
If you feel uncomfortable emotions or physical experiences, it is normal as we are working to resolve old energetic patterns that might be set deeper in your body and consciousness.
Does Biofield Tuning have any contraindications?
Detox from Biofield Tuning can be too severe for individuals with the following and/or interfere with those experiencing:
-
Cancer
-
Terminal illness
-
End-of-life
-
Pregnancy
-
Pacemaker or other implanted medical devices
-
Recent concussions (within 6 months)
How many sessions are suggested?
Although one session can be quite powerful, Biofield Tuning is accumulative, and at least 3 sessions are recommended to see the full impact of Biofield Tuning. A good metaphor you can liken it to is an archeological dig, uncovering one layer at a time. Our biofields store the accumulation of stress and events from gestation onwards, including generational patterns that have run in our family lines for generations. We are extremely beautiful and complex beings. What shows up in the field during a session is what is ready to be healed at that moment.
That being said, some clients continue treatments and come for monthly tune-ups or when they feel one is needed. There is no right or wrong way to approach it, whatever you are comfortable with is what is important.
Post-session care
Everyone is different and will have a unique experience to a Biofield Tuning treatment. Most people who receive Biofield Tuning sessions report feeling more relaxed, cleaner, clearer, and more self-aware. Sometimes results can be immediate post-session while other times the results might unfold over a few days following a session.
However, there are some clients who will experience a detox, which can vary greatly.
Some clients have reported:
-
exhaustion and tiredness,
-
needing to sleep,
-
strong emotions,
-
becoming very aware of formerly masked or buried emotions,
-
headaches, light-headedness, and/or dizziness.
Generally, symptoms pass within a day or two.
