BIO-TUNING

Bio-Tuning is a multi-sensory experience in which the natural resonant frequency of the recipient's body is evaluated and applied in the form of "Brainwave Entrainment" which is the tendency of the brain to match its own wave pulses to those produced by external sounds. Sound frequencies are 'heard' by the whole body-mind as well as the ears. This system facilitates the recipient's body-mind in reconnecting to the first mitosis of their own zygote (fertilized egg). A zygote contains all the information of one's wholeness, which is always perfect and uncorrupted in its formation.

Bio-Tuning facilitates the body-mind in recalling the original memory of wholeness so that it may use this information to begin the process of reorganizing itself. Bio-tuning consists of a mixture of primordial sounds, psycho-acoustics. Bio-Tuning makes use of any or all of the above tools to create a non-judgmental psycho-acoustic and neuro-acoustic sound environment that may be used by the recipient.

Recipients receive a number of 'sessions' based on their own individual assessment. At each session a new custom CD is created to work with at home. Each of these recordings will have a different brainwave entrainment frequency, unique to each individual, for balancing the body-mind in a non-judgmental manner. Working with custom recordings at home on a regular basis acts as a catalyst for initiating and progressing a transformation process.

The 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.

· 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 (auditory or auditory/visual).

· the information being fed through the table is simultaneously recorded on a CD - for the recipient to take home and listen to daily (good quality headphones are advisable).

· after listening to the CD for one to four weeks, the recipient usually becomes aware that it is time 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.

· First Session

A range of bio-feedback assessments is made. Any imbalances that are detected are counteracted by applying a musical tone through the sound table. The frequency of this tone is refined to an accuracy of a 100th of a semi-tone through contact with the body-mind. This tone is then used as the basis of the first Bio-Tuning CD recording.

· Second Session

Imbalances detected in the first session are re-evaluated and changes documented. A spatial stereo voice recording is created, and incorporated in all subsequent assessments in place of the musical tone.

· Third - Fifth Sessions

A re-evaluation of the previous imbalances is made, individual documention is updated, followed by further assessments. LED glasses are used in the Bio-Tuning session.

Customized Sessions

During the initial assessment, it may become evident that some preparatory Bio-Tuning work prior to commencing the core sessions would be appropriate. These may include the use of primordial sounds.

Advanced Sessions

After 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. Advanced sessions can be created with any combination of tone, vocal sounds, primordial and nature sounds and brain frequencies.


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.

“Our first sensory experience in life as a fetus in the womb is of sound and vibration. We float in body temperature amniotic fluid in a state of weightlessness. We have fluid in our nose and mouth which eliminates the senses of smell and taste. We have our eyes closed and are in the dark with no sense of light. We have fluid in our ears pressed right up against the ear drum - but sound travels through water five times more effectively than through air, therefore, our sense of hearing is actually amplified. The symphony of sound pattern we experience at this time will be deeply embedded in our subconscious mind for the rest of our lives - water swishing sounds, arterial pulse sounds and voice sounds. These are our fist experiences of primordial sounds. The famous psychiatrist Carl Jung recognized that primordial sounds were part of a universal collective consciousness. It is almost as if the whole universe is one organic being with many parts all designed from variations of the same blue-print. In the Bio-Tuning system, we make use of these primordial sounds, sometimes speeding them up or slowing them down, depending on what is appropriate for that particular session.”Taken from The Healing Powers of Sound by Dr. Jeffery Thompson.

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 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 we apply directly to the eyes using red light emitting diodes (LEDs), mounted in a spectacle frame, 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.

SACRED VIBRAIC SOUND THERAPY
WITH QUARTZ CRUCIBLES

A crucible begins its 'life' as pure silica sand, which is injected into a mould and flash melted at a very high temperature. Individual crucibles resonate at a specific frequency. A set of crucibles selected with different frequencies, creates a unique crystalline orchestra of sound vibration generators. When the crucibles are activated, they begin to resonate at their own particular pitch (frequency of the note) and timbre (quality of the note including harmonics).

The crucibles, when activated, create a series of harmonics that interact with each other and the recipient(s). The facilitator plays a part in the ceremony of the crucibles through a physical and body-mind-spirit interaction. The latter of which is infinite in scope and beyond explanation. The crucibles respond immediately yet in a non-linear manner with the slightest variation in application of the striker/wand as it connects with the crucible.

The result of the activation is not readily reproducible because that moment in the time and space continuum cannot occur again, however, another experience can manifest in a different domain.

As a facilitator, my (subjective) experience has been based in the observation of tones that created invisible colour frequencies, sacred geometric structures and wave-forms, whose origin is indescribable. Potentially, a sacred restructuring of the organism (recipient) at the molecular level may occur. Since we detect and interact with sounds with every part of our body in a symbiotic manner, not just with our auditory senses, our bodies literally resonate with sound, whether we are conscious of the effects or not. It is this resonance that creates change in the body/being. The synergy of the activated group of crucibles, in an unconditional and mindful yet autonomous manner, tends to create an environment in/from which our body-mind can facilitate transformation.

The human body is a natural resonator of sound because it is itself an exquisite instrument of frequency and organized structure. The body can absorb frequencies while the body/mind dictates their utilization. Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are known to react to different vibrations in different ways. For example, if one single vertebra of the spine is out of balance, and the body absorbs a precise frequency it can resonate with, it can potentially ride this sound wave and vibrate itself back into balance. Therefore, if a small 'stuck' area becomes free, the surrounding tissues and structures have the potential to relax and reorganize, leading to a greater state of balance - from disorder comes order.

The frequencies generated by the crucibles and their facilitator tend to create vibrations that are therapeutic in nature and thus, the relaxation response in the recipient follows a path similar to that experienced in meditation.

The vibrations interact with the individual and in the process give up some of their energy as part of the transformation process. Each individual's body-mind makes use of this energy as it so chooses. This is another mysterious unconditional process.

In Laurie Anne's experience, the vibration of the crucibles is the closest encounter to sounds that are embedded in the deepest recesses of her non-consciousness - the music of the spheres. Some recipients have shared a similar experience, while others have a totally different journey.

To truly experience the bowls one has to hear them in person. As a little teaser, here is an MP3 sound clip of a pair of bowls singing away in my treatment room. The is a binaural recording but is of low quality in order to actually fit it onto the web site. Headphones would enhance your experience... better yet book a session!

Quartz bowls are available for sale upon request.

INFRATONICS

Infratonics was developed from scientific research in Beijing China, examining natural healers. It was found that the most powerful healers were able to emit a strong infrasonic (low frequency sound) signal from their hands.

Infratonics uses a low frequency, electro-acoustical therapeutic device, designed for effective treatment of pain and accelerated recovery. The device applies sound waves to improve local micro circulation, similar to an ultrasound treatment. However, unlike ultrasound, Infratonics uses low frequencies so there is no chance of excess heat build-up or problems with internal metal plates, pins or staples.

Infratonic sound:

· works by increasing the local circulation of body fluids such as blood and lymph as well as the activity of the nervous system, increasing vitality.

· activates local tissue through the moving of old fluids from painful areas and drawing in fresh, oxygenated fluids to enhance the healing process, reduce swelling and relax armoured muscles.

· strengthens immune functions.

Infratonics can also be incorporated with CranioSacral therapy and Five Element Acupressure sessions.
