I heard my first tuning fork when I was about six and the guy who came to tune our piano let me play with one. I was enthralled but it wasn't until I read Eileen McKusick's story of how she perceived the human biofield with an activated fork that I really took notice of this incredible tool.
I've been acutely aware of the effect that 'sound' and 'vibration' has on my body since I was a kid and I've received many 'sound healings' from a variety of practitioners, some who worked purely on imbuing my body through their ability to 'hear' what was being played - whether it be tuning fork, singing bowl, voice, didgeridoo or some other sound producing apparatus which essentially made me 'feel good'. Others understood the effect of vibrations and were able to focus specific sounds on particular parts of my body - like placing an activated tuning fork on a knee injury to 'help it heal'. Applying a specific vibrational frequency (be it sound or electro-magnetic current or colour or even thought), to help us 'heal' has actually been practised all over earth for a long time and its positive effects are widely recognised.
However, while I'd been well aware that 'I' extend far beyond my dense physically tangible body, I hadn't really ever delved into feeling what lies beyond my own skin. Nor had I realised that the biofield retains information that can be 'read' in chronological order - it was one of those thousand watt light bulb moments in my life when I started feeling the chronology of the information contained in the biofield for myself.
There are many who've discovered, uncovered, studied and shared concepts regarding 'biofields', just as there are many who've hypothesised over the five states of 'matter' - 'solid', 'liquid', 'gas', 'plasma' and 'aether'. There's some brilliant and inspiring work shared by some brilliant and inspiring men and women out there (and it's all readily available), for any who are keen to dig deeper than what they were taught at school. For more information about the biofield according to Eileen McKusick, there are plenty of youtube vids and podcasts where she goes into it in depth, along with a couple of excellent books she's authored (available through her Biofield Tuning website).
In my case, I perceive the human biofield slightly differently than Eileen and other Biofield Tuning practitioners. While we all practice the art of feeling the changes in 'density' in the area that contains the biofield - you can feel the edge of the field (conception) with an activated fork, as well as an almost infinite array subtle changes where the fork is passed 'through the space'. Remember though, almost like Dumbo with his little feather, we don't need a fork to perceive the information contained in the biofield, it just makes things a lot easier for us.
While a Biofield Tuning practitioner is trained to listen for dissonance with their activated fork, I feel it in my body and I see it in my 'mind's eye'. Practitioners activate the forks in the field and may simply 'comb the fork through the dissonance with the intention of 'collecting' the dissonance with the fork, an/or they may wait for the fork tones to 'brighten' in heavily dissonant patches; I 'wait' (while working on and off the body), for the 'dissonant sensations' to leave my body. This is because of both how I process 'information' and how I've honed my somatic sensory and telepathic perception of what is 'mine' and what is 'yours' in my own body.
That said, while I know that my own intention can clear someone else's dissonant field, using the tuning forks is much easier for me - it requires less energy and intensely focused and sustained attention to harmonise the dissonance - I simply let the forks do the bulk of the work! The same goes for my 'on body' work (which I do symbiotically in my practice) - I have what some may call 'healer's hands', but don't rely solely on them and will swap between the forks and my hands depending on what's needed (I don't put too much thought into it, it just happens that way).
I use activated forks to imbue the biofield and the body with their healing frequencies for literally everything - from healing up long standing physical injuries to quietening overly busy minds to releasing emotional baggage to provoking 'life' changes. Anything that is dissonant in a person's biofield (which is a mirror of what's dissonant in their body and a reflection of dissonant things that they've taken on board, through their family lineages and throughout their life), all of it can be made to vibrate with a beautiful, life affirming resonance.
