Day 2: TUNING FORKS

Here’s a quick recap…

• Tuning forks are icons of sound and music

• They are both quite practical in their functionality and powerful in their possibility

• The book Tuning the Human Biofield by Eileen Day McKusick has been influential in my understanding of contemporary science around sound and energy

• The lowest pitches you are hearing are created by weighted tuning forks, which are also used directly on the body

• Non-weighted forks are used in therapeutic settings to comb the space around the body

• The pitch of the forks seems to bend and distort as they are moved

• But, the overall sound of the fork is very pure and direct

• You’ll also hear forks struck together, against each other as you would most often in an in-person sound healing experience

• Like the crystal bowls, these sounds tend to land energetically higher and are more about focusing attention
