BioSonics Connector Series Tuners

Otto Tuners are available in three Different Frequencies: 128, 64 and 32 cps. It is recommended to start with the Otto 128. Use the Otto Tuners directly on the body to help align your physical structure, resonate the bones, stimulate the nerves and release tension from the body. Vibrating your bones with deep earth tones, the Otto Tuners brings a sense of deep relaxation and soothing peace. They relieve muscle tension, spasms, pain, and improve circulation by relaxing constricting muscle tissue and causing increased blood flow.

Benefits:
·        Deep relaxation and soothing peace
·        Relaxes body tissue
·        Relieves muscle tension, spasms, and pain 
·        Improves blood circulation 
·        Stimulates nerves on the skin and hair

The Otto Tuners are used for relaxation, the sound vibrates into the bones for relaxation. The Otto Tuners are tuned to the frequencies of 128cps, 64cps and 32cps. They vibrate at a low pitch and due to their weighted ends the sound lasts longer than that of regular tuning forks. The Otto 128 is especially effective when placed on the rib heads, thorasic vertebra, sternum and illiums. Two Otto Tuners tapped gently on the knees and held to the ears create a beautiful sustained low tone, which is excellent for grounding and relaxation. The Otto 64 is especially effective when placed on the lower lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and coccyx. Its vibration helps loosen the sacral ligaments as well as stimulating and balancing the ganglion of impar, a center for controlling the lance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Otto 32 is especially effective for stimulating nerves on the skin and hair. Tap it as described and then lightly touch your skin or hair with the edge of the tuning fork body. You will feel it stimulate, vibrate, and “tug” at your skin and hair. You can also tap the fork and move it very slowly across an area just above your skin without touching. 

Achieve a state of deep relaxation in seconds with the primordial vibrations of “Om.” Physically tune your body to the “Om” vibration and enter a state of balanced wholeness ideal for healing and higher consciousness. Helps center the body and mind when placed on the rib heads, thoracic vertebra, sternum, sacrum and ileums. Helps meditators and yoga practitioners achieve desired states effortlessly. For example, tap the Om Tuner and press it to your sternum. Close your eyes and feel the vibration. After a while hum “Om” in resonance with the vibration. Another way to use your Om Tuner during bodywork sessions is to apply it to the spinal processes of the back and/or directly onto the sacrum or any bone in the body you wish to bring the harmonic resonance of the “Om” vibration.

Benefits:
·        A state of balanced wholeness
·        For deep meditation 
·        Center the body and mind 

The rishies or spiritual master of India believed that the musical tone sadja or sa, which means the father of all others, to be the musical sound which resonates with the never ending primordial vibration “Om.” The rishies arrived at sa through deep meditation. To this day, Indian musicians approach tuning their instruments as a meditation to set the Spiritual tone for a whole concert. The effect of India’s meditative music is based on a musician’s ability to tune to sa. The Swiss scientist Hans Cousto, author of the Cosmic Octave, discovered how to convert planetary cycles into musical pitches. Using his system the sa corresponds to the sound of one Earth year of the time it takes the earth to circle the Sun. To arrive at the frequency of 136.1 Hz, an earth year is reduced to a second (frequencies are measured in cycles per second). An earth year is 365.242 days and an earth day is 86,400 seconds. When the days are multiplied by seconds the answer will be 315,567,925.9747 seconds equal one earth year. To arrive at an audible sound, 315,567,925.9747 seconds are divided into one (year) and then raised 32 octaves. The result will be the audible tone of answer 32 times the result will be 136.1 Hz. The cosmic note “Om.”

BioSonic Repatterning™, developed by John Beaulieu, N.D., Ph.D., is a natural method of healing using tuning forks based on the sonic ratios inherent in nature. When we tap the tuning forks, we produce pure musical intervals based on precise mathematical proportions known as the Pythagorean tunings. When we listen to these intervals we create an archetypal resonance resulting in a physical and psychic repatterning of our mind, bodies and spirit. This takes place on a physical level within the inner ear by stimulation of the cochlea and semi-circular canals. When we listen to the sound of the tuning forks our nervous system attunes to the pitch in much the same way as when we find a pitch for a choir or tune a piano. The vestibular system via the semi-circular canals reproportions our body through a process of cellular memory based on the natural ratios of the tuning forks. During the listening process our physical body will actually reposture itself to hold the proportion and sound correctly.

John Beaulieu discovered BioSonic Repatterning™ while sitting in an anechoic chamber at New York University. An anechoic chamber is a completely sound proof room resembling a sensory deprivation chamber. After reading about the experiences of the composer-philosopher John Cage he decided to experiment. John Cage found that he had heard two sounds while in the chamber, one was a high-pitched sound and the other a low-pitched sound. The engineer he was working with informed him that the high sound was his nervous system and the low sound was his blood in circulation. Excited by this discovery John Beaulieu then sat in an anechoic chamber for five hundred hours over a period of two years listening to the 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.

To understand this process remember a time when you were in a quiet place or just before going to sleep. During this time you may have heard a high pitched sound in your head. This is the sound of your nervous system. When you are under stress this sound gets louder and sometimes can become a ringing in your ears.  For most of us this sound is subtle and we only hear it when we focus on it.  Tuning into the sound of your nervous system is a meditation.  Find a quiet place, sit or lay down, close your eyes and focus your awareness on the sounds inside your head.  Listen for the high sound.  When you listen closely you will discover, that sound consists of two distinct pitches.  These pitches originate from your left and right brain hemispheres.  These pitches change in frequency, volume and pitch depending on your state of consciousness. 

The intervals of the Body Tuners™ and the Solar Harmonic Spectrum™ create pure sounds and overtones to help you relax and center yourself.  Each interval relates to a different state of consciousness and body posture.  For example, if you want to be more fiery you could work with the intervals of C & E or C & A.  If you want to be more watery, you could work with the intervals of C & D or C & B.  You can creatively combine your intervals based on the five element theory of Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth to create a sound healing concert.

The tuning forks are tools to help you develop and refine your sonic abilities.  Simply tap the tuning forks  on your knees, bring them to your ears and listen to the sound.  When you tap the two forks together, the sound created is an interval.  As you listen to the two different tones your body will naturally adjust itself and come into balance, making the two sounds into one.  You can hum and let your voice resonate with the sound of the interval.  This humming creates a sonic anchor which helps you recreate the experience of the tuning forks without having to use them. With practice you will be able to sonically “think” an interval and your nervous system will respond.  When this happens your ears rather than your eyes will dominate your perception.  Over a period of time you will naturally begin “seeing” and feeling intervals everywhere in your life.  You will be able to know through visual harmonic perception what interval a person is tuned into.  Then through bodywork, tuning forks or other modalities you can help a person align themselves to intervals for healing and well being.  When they are repatterned  to the interval you will feel a resonance in your body similar to that of humming with the tuning forks.
