For example, tuning fork expert, John Beaulieu, believes that the interval of a perfect 5th triggers the release of nitric oxide, antibacterials, antivirals and free radicals: Musical intervals can have a powerful effect on our mind-body. It is ideal for exploring the healing effects of natural musical intervals and can also be used in meditation. This set is tuned to the Pythagorean scale – a scale built on the naturally occurring overtone series. For example, experiencing the slower alpha, theta or even delta brainwaves can bring about healing for the typical stress-ridden “Type A” personality who is normally dominated by the faster beta brain waves associated with peak concentration and heightened alertness. They work through brain wave entrainment, which alters the frequencies of brain waves. Here are the main sets that I use: Brain Tuner Tuning Forksīrain tuners use sound to shift the brain into different states of consciousness. Off Body ApplicationĪccompanying the Otto tuning forks are a range of forks that are designed to be sounded away from the body for a range of different purposes. In a healing context, this silence is vital because it allows the sound to be absorbed fully by the body. It is a feature of tuning forks that their sound naturally decays into silence. This opens up the body’s energetic pathways, removing energy blocks and allowing the Chi or Qi to flow freely. In a typical session we will apply one or two otto tuning forks to acupressure points, including Heavenly Gathering (SI11), Bubbling Spring (K1), Central Treasury (LU1), Sea of Qi (REN6), Primordial Child (REN17) and Gathering Bamboo (UB2). During a treatment, the recipient can feel their body vibrate in resonance with the tuning fork: it is a very relaxing and pleasurable experience. Osteophonic – or Otto – tuning forks feature a weighted prong which is designed to strengthen the fork’s vibration as it is transferred to the body. The sound waves created by the tuning forks work like kinetic energy to move disharmony and tension from the body, remove Qi, stagnation and helps to restore a sense of balance and well-being.¹ On Body Applicationĭisharmony can manifest in the body as stress, tight and sore muscles and fatigue, creating blockages to our Qi or natural energy flow. I work with tuning forks in both ways and will usually combine them during a treatment session. The tuning fork is activated away from the body so that the vibration is received as audible sound waves. The pitch depends on the rate of vibration, which depends on the length and thickness of the prongs. The prongs of the fork vibrate alternately toward and away from each other. The stem of the activated tuning fork is applied to the body so that the sound vibration is received directly by the body’s tissues and bones.Ģ. Tuning Fork, a small U-shaped piece of steel that, when struck, produces a clear tone of unvarying pitch. The tuning fork is used in two complimentary ways:ġ. Originally intended as a pitch standard for tuning musical instruments, the accuracy, constancy and purity of the tuning fork’s tone has led to it becoming a valuable tool for healing and the development of spiritual consciousness. Once the meshing and estimation process has finished, use the cost–time slider to select the level of computational resource that you want to use for this simulation.The tuning fork was invented in 1711 by John Shore, Court Trumpeter and Lutenist to Queen Anne. This automatically meshes your model, estimates how long the simulation will take to run, and estimates what the likely core-hour cost will be. In the properties panel, select MESH & ESTIMATE.In the properties panel, change Mechanical Analysis Type to Modal.On the right the Mechanical Environment settings will be displayed In the Physics tree select Mechanical Environment.Using either the tree or the 3D viewer, select Face 0.In the toolbar, select > to fix the surface.Using the Material dropdown in the properties panel, assign Structural Steel to this part.Using either the tree or the 3D viewer, select Body Frame.In OnScale Solve, from the Projects tab of the dashboard, create a new project.It's a different model, but the steps shown there are broadly the same as the steps described below.
