To activate a tuning fork, one holds the single stem, and strikes the fork on a block of hard rubber or wood covered in leather or fabric. Bones transmit vibration more effectively than any other matter in the body.ģ.Diaphony: This term is my own invention and refers to the use of Tuning forks in the Subtle Bodies, energy fields and energy centres (aura and chakras). This is the application of Tuning forks to the articulations and any part of the skeleton. We have divided Tuning fork Treatments into 3 Basic Categories:ġ.Sonopuncture: This term was invented a few years ago, and refers to the use of Tuning Forks on the acupuncture points, meridian points, hand and feet reflexology points, spinal reflex points, Shiatsu points and ALL other REFLEX POINTS of the body.Ģ.Osteophony: This name is from created from the Osteophonic Tuning Forks, or OTTO forks as John Beaulieu calls them. Many of the most effective forks used in Tuning fork therapy are based on Natural Cycles, such as the well-known OM Tuner or tuning fork, which is based on the cycle of one Earth Year, the most important cycle for life on Earth. Sound is measured in cycles per second, so therefore every cycle has a sound.

Tuning fork frequencies can be based on literally any cycle or circular motion. The ears play an important role, re-transmitting the sounds to the nervous system and via the nerves to the major organs. Because they eliminate their own overtones within a few seconds of striking, the pure resulting sound waves are rapidly transmitted throughout the nervous system and entire body with just a few applications. Originally invented to create a pure tone to which musicians could tune their instruments, tuning forks have become, in last 4 decades, important tools in medicine and alternative therapies. Tuning forks emit pure sounds that are represented as pure sine waves, without any harmonics. Tuning fork frequencies are effective tools for use in Sound healing, and can be used in conjunction with other instruments such as singing bowls and more importantly the voice and vocal harmonics (overtone chant).

The tuning fork, by matching these Natural Ratios, “entrains” the body’s vibration and return it to its “optimum”, healthy vibration. From atom to molecule, to cells and DNA, the body is constructed from geometric forms that fit together to compose the whole. The phenomenon of sympathetic resonance is reinforced by their use on or around the body. They also vibrate, as does the human body, according to specific harmonic proportions which reflect the geometry of their structure. They are material or physical in nature, yet vibrate strongly enough to transmit that vibration. Tuning forks create a bridge between Sound and Form or structure.
