General FAQs

  • There are no age limits for receiving Biofield Tuning, however less is more with both seniors and children, who generally should receive shorter sessions. Children between the ages of 2–6 can become very hyperactive after Biofield Tuning sessions.

  • Many Biofield Tuning Practitioners have reported that clients with conditions such as Parkinson’s, MS and diabetes have experienced relief in symptoms via Biofield Tuning treatments.

    Please note, although Biofield Tuning can work well for these conditions, please read our Cautions and Guidance category below if you have active cancer, are pregnant, are terminally ill or have an implanted electronic device.

  • Yes. We view conditions such as depression and/or bipolar disorders as “tonal” imbalances rather than chemical imbalances, which can be readily addressed with Biofield Tuning.

    For example, during a Biofield Tuning scan a bipolar person will exhibit “high tones” associated with anxiety and mania, as well as “low tones” linked with depression, but a “mid-tone” range will be absent. In such cases, the Practitioner uses Biofield Tuning to quiet the high tones and lift the low tones which in turn will strengthen the mid-tone range. This helps the recipient achieve a more balanced state.

  • Biofield Tuning recipients may experience a “detox response” after a session. This is completely normal and means the body is releasing stress and trauma. Generally, these symptoms pass within 1–3 days.

    The following are possible symptoms of detox:

    —Fatigue

    —Waves of emotions—crying, being angry, sad

    —Loose stools

    —Exhaustion

    —Headaches and/or dizziness

    —Flu-like symptoms

    —In very rare instances: skin rashes, mucus, fevers, vomiting, excessive thirst

    If you are having a detox response from your Biofield Tuning session—especially if it is an extreme response—we highly recommend that you contact your Practitioner. They will be able to support you through your detox and schedule another session to help move it through.

  • Eileen Day McKusick, MA is a researcher, inventor, educator, practitioner and speaker who has been working with sound therapeutically since 1996. She is the founder of the sound therapy method Biofield Tuning, and is recognized for her detailed mapping of the anatomy and physiology of the human biomagnetic field. Thousands of students worldwide work with her Biofield Anatomy Map to locate and resolve and understand imbalances in the body’s electrical system.

  • Acutonics® is a system of vibrational sound healing that uses tuning forks within the body’s grid system of acupuncture points and meridians. The tuning forks are used on and off the body.

    Rooted in Oriental medicine and philosophy, Acutonics is unique in its use of:

    —tuning forks tuned to planetary frequencies

    —combining two forks to create musical intervals

    —planetary archetypes

Cautions and Guidance FAQs

  • Thank you for your interest in Biofield Tuning. You are encouraged to approach this non-invasive, powerful method with curiosity and discernment.

    The following information is provided so that you can make the best decision for your well-being. Please note, there have not been extensive studies or organized research on the circumstances listed below. This information is based on anecdotal experiences acquired through many sessions conducted by Eileen McKusick and other Certified Biofield Tuning Practitioners.

    Given this, consider limiting your use of tuning forks initially as a precautionary measure until you gain a sense of how your body responds.

  • Biofield Tuning may overwhelm end-of-life body systems which are often in a depleted energetic state.

    End-of-life detox may be uncomfortable as the body may not have the resources to effectively manage detox symptoms.

    Components of Biofield Tuning have been used as a means of calming the nervous system during end-of-life circumstances to ease transition.

  • Once cancer has advanced in the body, detox pathways are often compromised, and the body may have difficulty digesting newly introduced energetic input.

    The body may not have the resources to effectively manage detox symptoms that may result from Biofield Tuning.

    We have observed tumors may be irritated by tuning and as such, we suggest not applying forks directly on them.

    These statements refer to cancer that is active and/or in treatment; not to cancer that is in remission.

  • During pregnancy, the body expends a tremendous amount of energy; Biofield Tuning may overwhelm this already overextended system.

    The body may not have the resources to effectively manage detox systems which may affect both mother and baby.

    Components of Biofield Tuning, such as using weighted forks on the body for limited duration, have been used to promote relaxation during pregnancy.

  • Tuning forks may interfere with the electrical functioning of these devices due to the added vibrational input.

    No reports of ill effects have been associated with newer pacemakers. Proceed with caution, careful observation, and the advice of your medical professional.

    Electrical medical implants also include, but are not limited to Medtronic pumps and neural implants.

  • When the brain is swollen, it takes time for inflammation to resolve. We suggest waiting at least 3 months after a significant injury for the brain to heal before receiving Biofield Tuning on or around the head.

    The rest of the body can receive gentle tuning shortly after injury occurs.

    Each case is different—with mild concussions, components of Biofield Tuning may be used before the 3-month waiting period.

  • Suppressed emotions and energy can be held in adipose tissue. If there is extensive adipose tissue, Biofield Tuning may result in unpredictable and strong emotional releases and/or uncomfortable detox responses.

    Individuals may be more comfortable receiving Biofield Tuning while seated versus on a treatment table.

  • A Biofield Tuning session may initiate a large release of toxins from cells, resulting in discomfort.

    Some individuals with heavy metal toxicity have experienced a strong detox response following a Biofield Tuning session.

    Consider seeking guidance for supplements that may support the detoxification process.

  • Avoid using firm pressure with weighted forks directly over large varicose veins. This has the potential to dislodge blood clots.

    Consider working gently with mild pressure in the area around varicose veins rather than directly on them.

    No reports of ill effects have been associated with using gentle pressure on and around spider veins.

  • Avoid using direct pressure with weighted forks over dental implants, chipped/broken teeth, or bone fragments in the gums, as this may cause them to shift due to the vibration of the tuning fork.

  • Avoid working with weighted forks directly on any recent broken or fractured bones, as the vibrational input can be uncomfortable and interfere with the natural healing process.​

  • Direct pressure with weighted forks on these areas may cause discomfort. In these circumstances, consider gentle use of the tuning forks until you gain a sense of how your body responds.

    Implants include, but are not limited to; metal rods, screws and plates.
