Here are some more information for Healing Tibetan Singing:
My interest in tuning forks was sparked a few years ago by an experience with the Ohm forks from the Acutonics system. It was amazing to experience the beautiful low frequencies of those forks zip through my body. I was already familiar with the wonderful sensations in the body from holding and playing my Tibetan singing bowl. The tuning fork is much more specific than a bowl. It is like comparing a laser beam to a shower. They both feel amazingly wonderful, but they have different purposes. Since that experience, I have found that there are a wide variety of systems and ways of using tuning forks on the body. There are an infinite number of frequencies, so theoretically, there are an infinite number of tuning fork frequencies available.
We are beginning to understand that at the atomic level of matter, everything is in vibration. And that includes us. Sound is vibrational energy. It travels in a wave and pushes molecules around as it moves. It is useful to understand a little about how sound travels in order to understand how tuning forks work. Sound moves at different speeds depending on what it is traveling through. Typically, the denser a material is, the faster sound moves through it because the molecules are closer together. In the air, sound moves at about 770 miles per hour. Sound moves through water about 4 times faster than through the air. It moves through steel, like railroad tracks, about 15 times faster than through the air. Have you ever heard or read about aboriginal hunters who put their ears to the ground to hear where the animals are walking or running? That is because sound travels through the ground faster than it travels through the air. Our bodies are about 80 percent water, so we can assume that a sound wave will move through the majority of our body at approximately the same speed sound travels through water. That is four times faster than through the air. Because our bones are denser than the soft material of the body, sound will move through our bones faster than through the soft tissue.
Tuning forks are made to sound at one specific frequency. For example, a tuning fork made to ring at 440 Hz is usually what musicians tune their instruments to. This frequency is standard for instruments so that all of the instruments in a group will sound harmonious when playing together.
Both of my sons learned how to play the recorder when they were in Grade 5. Listening to the class perform together was an exercise in tolerance and patience. If you have never played the recorder, they can be really out of tune if your blowing is too strong or too soft. Just imagine a class of 30 kids doing this all at once. Ouch for the ears, but important to encourage the kids. They were having fun. The parents were trying not to cringe.
A doctor will sometimes use a tuning fork to test whether or not a bone is broken. When a sounding fork is placed on the skin where the sound can travel through the bone, a patient will usually experience excruciating pain if the bone is broken.
Music therapist and naturopathic doctor, John Beaulieu spent over five hundred hours over two years in an anechoic chamber. With no stimulus or noise, he sat there listening to sounds of his own body. "He began to correlate different states of consciousness with different sounds of his nervous system. Being a trained musician he noticed that the high-pitched sounds of his nervous system consisted of several sounds in different intervals. Then one day he brought two tuning forks and tapped them. Immediately, he observed that the sound of his nervous system realigned to the sound of the tuning forks." (from an article called "Biosonic Repatterning")
One set that I use pretty well every day is the perfect fifth tuning forks. This set consists of the musical note C tuned to 256 Hz, a frequency directly related to the frequency of the earth, and the musical note G tuned to 384 Hz creating the interval of a perfect fifth when they are played together. Research conducted by Dr. John Beaulieu, music therapist, and naturopathic doctor and Dr. George Stefano, neurologist, showed that these frequencies stimulated the production of nitric oxide in the body's cells within 30 seconds. Normal nitric oxide production is inhibited by stress and illness among other things. Here is a list of the physical benefits when your cells are producing and releasing nitric oxide.
- Relief from stress, more energy and stamina.
- The autonomic nervous system is balanced, better clarity of mind, less depression.
- Nitric oxide strengthens the immune system.
- Circulation is improved.
- We have better digestion.
Tuning forks are like lasers. Some people say they are like surgical tools. Because of their precise frequencies they can have more precise effects. There is some fascinating research being conducted relating to frequencies and the human. I believe that tuning forks hold the potential for great precision as a healing tool.

Sound and Meditation
It is common knowledge that meditation is a major tool for handling symptoms of stress. Developing a meditation practice can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, calm the emotions and mind and connect you deeply with your inner essence or spirit. And there are many, many ways to meditate. In this article you are offered the opportunity to meditate with sound, or more specifically, the silence between the sounds.
Our sense of hearing is the most acutely tuned over a wider range than any of the other senses. Not only that, we hear with the whole body. Dr. Alfred Tomatis called our sense of hearing "a portal into the brain."
Sound (and hearing) and meditation can be a powerful combination. Studies have already shown that the combination of sound and guided meditation boosts the immune system more effectively than sound or meditation alone. Another powerful way of using sound and meditation together is the singing of mantras. An example of a well-known and loved mantra is "Om mani padme hum."
For the purpose of this article, the focus for the sound meditations below is more on the silence or space in between the sounds. There are two sound meditations offered for your exploration, a meditation with a flute track and a Tibetan sound meditation.
Flute Meditation
The first meditation is a five-minute track I recorded with my native flute. Before you begin either meditation, check in on the state of your body, mind and emotions, then check in again after the meditation to see if you notice any change. By listening to the flute meditation twice with a different focus each time, you can explore first, the sounds themselves and second, the spaces between the sounds.
To access the sound file please copy and paste the link at the end of the resource box below into your browser. The file is stored on my web site.
1. You will discover on the first listening that the sounds are unpredictable. This is intentional and offers the opportunity to exercise the inner ear and engage the mind. Another way to focus on the sounds is to just allow them to wash over you as you relax.
Make sure you check in with your body, mind and emotions before listening for the second time. This can give you valuable information to how the sound and/or your focus on the sound affect you. You might want your journal or a notepad and pen close by to take note as you explore the sound.
2. As you listen to the flute track the second time, focus on the space between the sounds. Note what happens in your body, mind and emotional state. Is it easier or more challenging than listening to the sounds? Does one way of listening need more concentration than the other? Our sense of focused listening is extremely sensitive and subtle.
Tibetan Sound Meditation
The second sound meditation is a Tibetan sound meditation. You can do this one waiting for the bus, standing in line or sitting on a park bench. Opportunities for this technique are limitless and offer a profound way to enter into emptiness. I experienced this technique at Tom Kenyon's, Sound Healer's Training. The instructions for this meditation are included in his book, "Brain States" on page 190. See below:
"The following exercise is a Tibetan Sound Meditation that brings you into a direct awareness of the space or silence from which all sound vibration emerges. It develops subtle perception and intuition and has a very calming influence on the body and mind.
1. Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes.
2. Let your breath be slow and calm, taking about six seconds for the inhale and about six seconds for the inhale and about six seconds for the exhale. Breathe in this way for a minute or so before going on to Step 3.
3. Continuing to breathe in this calm and slow pattern, move your awareness into the sounds around you. But instead of focusing your attention on the sounds themselves, focus on the space or silence around the sound.
4. Get a sense of the spatial orientation of each sound. That is, notice if a particular sound is close or faraway, above you or below you, etc.
5. Try to get a felt sense of the space or silence around each sound you hear and of the greater space that holds all of the sounds including you. Practice this form for ten to thirty minutes, longer if you wish.
Practicing this meditation once a day for thirty days or so will generate profound benefits, including a greater sense of calm and peace as well as health benefits associated with reduced stress. In addition, the consistent practice of this meditation will give you a deep and intuitive knowledge of how sound and vibration relate to your own consciousness."
As with the flute meditation, you might want to have a journal nearby to jot down observations and insights gained in your explorations.

Does playing a Tibetan singing bowl have a healing power? How? How can it affect one's health, mental and?
physical health?
The overtone vibrations created by the bowl have an effect on consciousness similar to binaural frequencies that change the brain wave patterns. As far as health goes...Im not sure about how it effects health. True singing bowls are made from special mixtures of alloys to get a certain overtone sound out of them. The sound of the alloyed bowls contains many tones in one sound, like a rainbow contains many bands of light in one ray.
Psychobenzaprene lacks an understanding of the science behind how the brain interprets certain sonic frequencies. He also lacks a source with proof for his claims.
Heres a source with citations for proof that binaural frequencies have an observable effect on the brain.
