What is Bio-Tuning? Bio-Tuning is an unconditional offering of sound frequencies that are ‘heard’ by the whole body-mind as well as the ears. These frequencies are selected by ascertaining the individual’s needs by means of a series of bio-feedback tests. Bio-tuning consists of a mixture of harmonic resonance, primordial sounds, neuro-acoustics and psycho-acoustics. Harmonic Resonance. Every frequency can have an infinite number of harmonics. Plato had developed harmonic theory many centuries ago and realized the important relationships between a note and others that harmonize with it. Harmonics are exact ratios of the base note (often called the fundamental note). Some combinations of notes sound pleasant while some are clashing and discordant, regardless of the listener. In Bio-tuning, we make use of this fact by selecting suitable harmonics. During the assessment phase, we evaluate the precise frequency at which the whole body-mind resonates and also recognizes this frequency when the body is exposed to it. However, the body will also respond to any of the harmonics of this frequency. By using a sub-harmonic of this frequency, we can create a situation where the conscious mind does not necessarily recognize the frequency but the body-mind will still respond, liberated from any judgement or limitation that the conscious mind may have. Primordial Sounds An example of one of many primordial sounds we can harness is that of the Mother’s heart beat. To accomplish this, we would make a binaural recording of what would have been the recipient’s fetal environment.This primordial sound predominates the environment of the developing fetus. This is an invitation for the recipient’s body-mind to re-visit the cellular memory of this unique experience. The heart beat represents something which is simple yet complete and can re-establish a connection to these activities which had occurred before the individual became self- aware of separation and judgement. Many seek rebirthing experiences in order to re-capture this journey. Other primordial sounds can also be found by speeding up or slowing down sounds of nature such as crickets calling for a mate, whales and dolphins communicating and even the sound of the solar winds between the planets as recorded by the Nasa Voyager Probe. Neuro-acoustics It has long been known that the brain generates electromagnetic signals which can be detected with EEG (Electro-encephalogram) equipment and that different frequencies are produced depending on neural activity. For example, during sleep the dominant brainwave frequencies are very low and have been called Delta Waves; during meditation a higher range of frequencies known as Alpha Waves tend to predominate. Neuro-acoustics is the feeding back of these frequencies to the brain through the use of sound waves. Binaural beats are often used as a means of transferring this information in a spatial format to the body-mind. Psycho-acoustics By nature the body has sets of bi-lateral sensors: two ears, two eyes, and the brain itself. It is important for our survival that we are able to locate potential dangers, the next meal, a source of warmth and shelter. The body has evolved a means of spatial location to accomplish this. In Bio-tuning, we can make use of binaural sounds to assist balance in the temporal areas of the brain. We can also present these sound waves in the form of light which connect directly to the part of the brain that process information instantly but still as a spatial stereo image. We use dimensional stereo microphones (DSM) placed just in front of the pinna of the ear to record the recipients voice exactly as the recipient would themselves hear it resonating through their own body cavities. Each voice is unique in the universe and only one set of vocal cords can create a sound in a particular manner. Our voice is a window to our soul, a microcosm of the self and ever changing but always unique. That voice-sample is then made into a loop and transformed in frequency by precise octaves such that only your unconscious mind recognizes it and is awakened by it. In Bio-Tuning, we can make use of any or all of the above tools to create a non-judgemental environment that may be used by the recipient. What is the aim of Bio-Tuning? We are offering the body-mind harmony and balance through the use of the tools outlined above. We do this through a number of ‘sessions’ based on individual assessment. Each session creates a new custom CD to work with at home. Each of these recordings will have a different brainwave entrainment frequency, unique to each individual, for balancing the bodymind in a non-judgemental manner. This method of working with your custom recordings at home on a regular basis, acts as a catalyst for initiating and progressing the inner change process. What happens during a session? All sessions begin with a number of bio-feedback tests which assist in selecting the precise frequency of both tone and binaural beats. Having obtained this information we make use of digital sampling and mixing techniques to produce these frequencies. At this point, the recipient lies face up on a specially prepared neuro-acoustic sound table and experiences the applied frequencies through the whole body as well as the bilateral senses. The information being fed through the table is simultaneously recorded on a CD. After the Bio-Tuning session, the recipient takes their custom CD home and listens to it on a daily basis using good quality headphones. After listening to the CD for one to four weeks, the recipient is usually aware of being ready to move to the next stage of their Bio-Tuning care. There are five core sessions in the initial Bio-Tuning program. Each works on a different level of brain frequency with the unconditional intent of balancing the recipient’s body-mind. After the completing and reviewing the five core sessions, the recipient may wish to continue their Bio-Tuning care. At this point, the recipient can explore an unlimited arena of Bio-Tuning possibilities. We can work with any combination of tone, vocal sounds, primordial and nature sounds and brain frequencies. |

Laurie Anne King and Dave King are both sound therapists based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and have completed a course of study in Behavioural Psychoacoustics at the California Institute for Human Science in Encinitas, California with its developer, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, D.C. They work together as a team in the bio-tuning work as well as several other modalities. For further information email us at kings@usui-do.org or visit http://www.usui-do.org/~kings |
