Understanding the Bodymind

Western Medicine has taught us to just think of ourselves as our physical form, and frowns upon the concept of an energy field or aura as nonsense.

 

However it is accepted within the medical and science communities that our nervous system runs on electricity.

 

Elementary school science teaches us that anything that has an electrical current running through it has an electromagnetic field that surrounds it (Ampere’s Law). Ergo, our bodies must have an electromagnetic field. Research from the HeartMath Institute discusses this phenomenon.

 

Additionally, Western Medicine frowns on the concept of chakras as a strange unprovable phenomenon of Eastern thinking. However, if one compares a map of the chakras with a map of the nerve centers that enervate different regions of the body, one will find they are actually one and the same— simply described differently. Both are energy centers– locations where there is a concentration of electrical activity.

 

Each energy center governs different bodily functions, organs, systems and endocrine glands. In addition, each center also governs different emotional and mental states as well.

 

We have been led to believe that our mind is simply housed in our brain—however, our entire body as well as its electromagnetic field appear to comprise what we call our subconscious mind.

 

When a vibrating tuning fork passes through the body’s field (which extends approximately 5 feet off the body), it responds to the quality of electromagnetic energy present. It is quite easy to hear how the note can go flat or sharp, soft or loud, distorted or clear, based on the electromagnetic activity in a particular area.

 

Different emotions have different frequency signatures– these are reflected in the overtones (or harmonics) of the vibrating fork. For example, fear has a very distinct pulsing quality to it. Other emotions, such as guilt, grief, and anger, all have their own unique signatures, and, as I have discovered, their own unique locations in the bodymind.

 

My extreme sensitivity to vibration as well as a somewhat curious natural understanding of the language of vibration has enabled to me to map the bodymind much like neuroscientists have mapped the brain. Over the last 14 years, much to my surprise, a universal pattern has appeared—the same emotions (or states of mind) appear to be housed in the same areas in everyone.

 

For example, the right hip relates to the tendency to engage in guilt-driven overdoing. People with right hip issues are almost always Type A personalities operating on overdrive.

 

The mid-back relates to issues of support—people with mid back issues often are supporting everyone in their life but feel unsupported themselves.

 

The right shoulder relates to putting other people’s needs ahead of one’s own, and harboring resentment about that. And so on through the entire body. If we have a sickness or an injury in a particular area, there is a very good chance that there is a relevant emotional/mental corresponding factor.

I am of the belief that some issues are purely biomechanical—not every single issue has an undercurrent of significance—but the majority appear to.

 

In addition, if we have experience an unresolved traumatic experience in child hood, whether it be physical or emotional, and that issue is something that we “put aside” and try to get on with our lives, the trauma continues to live on in our fields, specifically in a region about 2-3 feet off of our bodies. It differentiates into a pocket of electromagnetic energy pulsing with whatever is the predominant emotion.

 

Because electromagnetic energy is magnetic, it is attractive, meaning it will attract like with like. This is how we end up with repeating patterns in our lives—by unconsciously harboring unresolved emotional issues in our subconscious bodymind.

 

The Body Tuning process locates, identifies and interrupts these patterns of imbalance. The tuning forks are used both diagnostically—to find and identify these differentiated pockets, and therapeutically—to interrupt and reintegrate them back into the field.

 

The tonal changes that occur throughout this process are easily perceived by the client– the sound provides a feedback loop that shows that something is clearly happening and shifting, unlike other forms of energy medicine where it is difficult to tell what, if anything, is really going on.

 

The sum total of receiving a body tuning treatment is that our energies become centered, balanced and integrated. The nervous system resets into a more relaxed place, resulting in immediate and sometimes profound relief from pain, tension and anxiety. In addition, one is left with an awareness of the workings of one’s bodymind, which can make it easier to recognize and overcome self defeating thinking and behavior.
