He carefully researched each interval's effect on his brain and body listening to each for hours on end, even in his sleep. Beaulieu outlines each interval's effect in detail in his book, Human Tuning. The notes and frequencies are as follows:Įach interval has a unique effect on the body and brain.

The centerpiece of the Pythagorean-based tuning fork system is the Solar Harmonic Series containing 8 forks based on a C scale, much like the notes that Jonathan uses in his Chakra Tuning App. In essence, we are tuning ourselves to the sound of our planet. In order for the tuning forks to be audible, the fundamental frequency is multiplied until it is in the range of our hearing. It is the naturally occurring, circulating frequency of the Earth's pulse between the planet's surface and the ionosphere. This frequency is called the Schumann Resonance. Tuning forks help bring us back to the balance with nature, much like being physically in nature or listening to waves at the beach will have the same effect.Īll of the tuning forks described below are also tuned to the fundamental frequency of 8 Hz. Electro-magnetic energy flies all around us now with cell phones, TV, radio waves, wi-fi, etc. Orchestras tune their instruments to A = 440 Hz and in this case A = 426.7 Hz. In fact, it is more 'sharp' than the ancient Pythagorean tuning. It is very different than the equal tempered tuning we use today. The Pythagorean tuning is based on the intervals and harmonics found in nature. Beaulieu brilliantly outlines the basics of sound healing with tuning forks.

John Beaulieu, a renowned naturopathic doctor, energy, composer and sound healing specialist. The tuning forks in my collection and much of the information I learned about them are from Dr. The weighted tuning forks send a physical vibration into the body and can be placed anywhere a client needs to release tension and bring about balance. They can be played next to a client's ears or anywhere on the body.

Tuning Forks are small and portable, and very convenient on the go. Since the science of sound healing has developed over the years to include specific frequencies for brain waves, the planets, the organs and more, having a specific tuning fork to match any of these frequencies allows quick access to these sounds. Striking the forks together releases more high-pitched overtones and ringing so some people prefer the other methods of playing them.

Practitioners play tuning forks by striking them together, hitting an activator or simply hitting their kneecaps (not too hard) to create the pleasant ringing sound. The sound tuning forks generate is acoustically pure and rich in harmonics and overtones. Once a fork is designed to resonate at a certain frequency, it retains that frequency, even if you drop it or dent it. Tuning forks have gained prominence in the sound healing arts because of their durability. I'll show you a few of the tuning forks in my collection and provide some audio examples so you can hear these pure, overtone rich sounds for yourself. Tuning Forks have been established over the years as an important tool for sound healing, so let's explore a bit about why tuning forks are so effective. He sings the notes of the C Scale using the Pythagorean Tuning and also layers in specially designed Tuning Forks under his voice at the same frequencies. I have looked through my textbook and workbook.Last month, I interviewed sound healing pioneer Jonathan Goldman about his Chakra Tuner App and more specifically about the frequencies he sang for each part of the body. If I'm to plug it back into the aforementioned equation, what do I use for the frequency? If there's another equation, I wasn't taught it. (b) What is the value of L for the next two harmonics? (a) What is the frequency of the tuning fork? (Use 345 m/s as the speed of sound in air.) The smallest value for L for which a peak occurs in sound intensity is 16.00 cm. The sound waves generated by the fork are reinforced when the length of the air column corresponds to one of the resonant frequencies of the tube. The length of the air column, L, is adjusted by moving the tube vertically. A long tube open at both ends is submerged in a beaker of water, and the vibrating tuning fork is placed near the top of the tube.
