Time for a Tune-Up? Check out biofield tuning BY RIC COGGINS

With no particular intention on my part, the subject of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has interwoven itself in and throughout this series. Topics such as 5G, WiFi, power lines, smart meters, and even the positive EMFs from the Germandeveloped BEMER device have all been explored and discussed in these pages. In fact, this will not be the first time we will have touched on the magnetic field that emanates from our bodies, but it will likely be the most interesting. Prior discussions introduced, acknowledged, and described the science which has recognized its existence and even measured this biofield. And while we discussed how discordant EMFs might potentially cause damage to this field, in no way however, did any of the research previously explored seem to indicate that there existed a way to adjust or “tune” our fields. But that is exactly where the work of Eileen Day McKusick will take us today. McKusick is the originator of the sound therapy method she calls Biofield Tuning, and since her first experimentation in 1996, she has trained over 2,000 practitioners in this art worldwide. She is the author of the award-winning and bestselling book, Tuning the Human Biofield: Healing with Vibrational Sound Therapy, and she has a second book upcoming called Electric Body, Electric Health that is set for release in January 2021. Her first book shares her story of how, as a massage therapist, she became interested in the relaxing sound waves emitted from tuning forks, and began experimenting with incorporating sound into her massage practice regimen.

Early on, she began noticing that, as she moved the tuning fork in and around her clients’ “space,” the tonal qualities of the sound changed. Sometimes the tone would go sharp, sometimes flat, and even sometimes the sound would “vibrate.” She found that by moving the activated tuning fork back and forth, over the area in space that caused the tonal change, that the tonal change would resolve, and further, that the client would feel benefit. Fascinated by these subtle changes, she began to look for explanations to this phenomenon, but to her surprise, very little information existed which could explain her experiences. It was from this beginning research that McKusick developed the science of Biofield Tuning. Biofield Tuning is a sound therapy methodology that employs the power of sound waves (also electromagnetic) on the human biofield to help alleviate conditions such as pain, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, emotional overwhelm, digestive issues, adrenal fatigue, and more. It is based on the premise that the human biofield (the energy field that surrounds
