At no time in our history has there been greater desire, interest and need for alternative forms of health care. The Acutonics® System of Healing and Education answers these needs, by drawing on science, music, metaphysics, ancient truths, philosophical traditions, and both Eastern and Western medicine to create an integrated and harmonic approach to health care and healing.
Throughout time and across all cultures, music and sound have been an integral part of ceremony, ritual, and healing. In every cosmology and mythology sound is a major link, the carrier wave between the world of the spirit and the people of Earth. The Australian aboriginal cultures believe that the Earth was sounded into existence through the didgeridoo. In Shamanic traditions, incantations, drumming, and rattling are used to induce dreams and visions of creations. In the Old Testament there is a record of David playing the harp to treat King Saul’s depression and in ancient Hellenic culture the pain of sciatica and gout was eased with flute playing. Today, we know that when we listen to music or hear certain sounds that it evokes powerful emotions that can pump us up, make us sad, or help us to understand and express our feelings. It is this growing recognition of the power that music and sound play in therapy, healing and life that is giving rise to the new field of Harmonic Medicine. . . sound therapy.
Sound helps us deepen our connection to our spiritual path and well-being by reuniting us with something greater than self. Within each of us is a unique pure sound and in every atom of our organic being we find a vibration, a blueprint of radiance, a vibrancy of telepathy that connects us at all levels to the greater universe.
Every cell in our body is a sound resonator. Every cell lives in a rhythmic pattern. Each organ in our body has its own cycle and its own pulse. Each and every system has a cycle, rhythm, pattern and pulse that exist in resonant harmony and sympathy to the cycles of the earth and heavens, helping us to remember and to reconnect to the greater cosmic blueprint. These bodily systems respond to sound vibration, as do our spiritual, mental, & emotional states of consciousness.
How it Works
- The Acutonics® Healing System is an energy-based, non-invasive treatment that is similar to acupuncture. Through the application of precision calibrated tuning forks to specific acupuncture, acupressure & trigger points, Acutonics® is able to access the Meridian and Chakra energy systems of the body on a deep cellular level.
- The tuning forks represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Earth, Moon, Sun and other planets. Their rich resonance, planetary correspondences, and vibration connects with and supports the body’s natural frequencies bringing you into alignment with the cycles of the cosmos known since antiquity as the Music of the Spheres. Each musical combination or interval of the tuning forks has its own unique healing properties.
- The tuning fork is struck on an Acutonics® Activator then placed on the body or held near the ears. The sound waves of the forks vibrate and travel deeply into the body along energy pathways, affecting human physiology and reaching places not easily accessed by traditional medicine.
- Applying the forks to different acupuncture points, as well as, listening to the forks, stimulates and balances the body’s physical and subtle energy field to promote healing and inner harmony. Listening to the forks speaks to us deeply by connecting with our vestibular system, within the inner ear canal, and accessing our sense of motion, balance, space, memory, and healing.
Acutonics® is a very effective way to stimulate the acupuncture points without the use of needles and is also a great alternative to acupuncture for those who are very needle sensitive or who cannot tolerate needles.
