  • Tuning forks spike nitric oxide. Why is that important?

    The use of tuning forks as a means of inducing positive emotions and subsequent relaxation in sound therapy has been studied extensively by researchers. A great deal of this research has centered on the use of tuning fork vibration and sound as a means of reducing feelings of anxiety and stress as well as aiding in the relief of numerous pathologies.

    In 1998, Robert F Furchgott, Louis J Ingnarro, and Ferid Murad made a discovery which changed medicine. They discovered that our cells produce and release nitric oxide. Their discovery was so important that they won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, and so significant that the U.S. government and the pharmaceutical medical complex has spent over two hundred million dollars investigating this gas.

    Nitric oxide is a molecule created by a nitrogen atom bound to an oxygen atom. It is made in our cells and released into the surrounding tissues as a gas. The release of nitric oxide by our cells is termed “puffing” by scientists to describe the rising and falling of this gas. The puffing cycle is like a wave which takes three minutes to rise and three minutes to fall. The rising phase of the wave is the release of nitric oxide which sends a signal to our cells to relax. During the falling phase of the wave nitric oxide dissipates and our cells become more active.

    When tuning forks are properly placed on bone or connective tissue, they resonate throughout our whole body in wave- like patterns causing the cells to spike nitric oxide. Research further suggests that listening to tuning forks (and certain music) can also spike nitric oxide.

    This release of nitric oxide sets off a cascade of physiological events that directly influences our health, well-being, state of mind, and consciousness. When cells are puffing nitric oxide in natural rhythmic cycles, we experience these benefits:

    • Enhances cell vitality, vascular flow and heart healing
    • Destroys bacteria and viruses at a micro level which naturally enhances our immune system and increases our            ability to prevent and fight infections
    • Increases resistance to stress and greater levels of energy and stamina
    • Sharpens mental clarity and diminishes states of depression due to the balancing of the autonomic nervous system
    • Improves digestion and natural cleansing

    Some additional benefits attributed to the cellular release of NO include:

    • Enhanced cell vitality (anti-aging)
    • Stabilized body metabolism (weight control
    • Increased cerebral blood flow (memory enhancement)
    • The most famous Nitric Oxide spiker to date the drug Viagra© (originally tested for Angina relief)

    It has been scientifically found that if Nitric Oxide rhythms are not restimulated over a longer period of time, symptoms experienced may include lack of energy, joint pain, decreased sexual drive, headaches, mild depressions, memory loss, and poor digestion. Capillaries in the brain are compromised which results in reduced oxygen and glucose supply to brain cells. This leads to neurological dysfunction, cellular death, and dementia. Over a longer period of time, if Nitric Oxide levels are not stimulated, these symptoms can escalate into major diseases, which include:

    • Cardiovascular disease (Arteriosclerosis, Stroke, Heart Attack)
    • Diabetes
    • Alzheimer
    • Depression
    • Auto Immune Diseases
    • Erectile Dysfunction
    • Motor Neuron Disease
    • Cancer

    When tuning forks are properly placed on bone or connective tissue, they resonate throughout our whole body in wave like patterns causing the cells to spike nitric oxide. Research further suggests that listening to tuning forks (and certain music) can also spike nitric oxide.

    What does this mean for our everyday life? Regular tuning fork therapy can aid in our feeling of relaxation and balance, and boost our energy, mental clarity and happiness! It can help guard against heart ailments, viruses and infections and improve our digestion – why not take the small amount of time needed for improving your overall health?

  • Basics of Vibrational Therapy

    As we learned in everyday Physics, all things are made of matter. To the smallest subatomic particle, all matter exists in a vibrational state – that is, all particles vibrate at different rates of speed. This is what creates the “state” of all form. This is what creates ENERGY. These vibrations, this energy, can be scientifically calibrated – and is constantly being studied by scientists. When the normal vibrational pattern is interrupted for some reason, an “abnormality” occurs. Scientists spend untold hours studying these abnormalities, looking for explanations and “cures”. 


    Abnormalities in fish, for instance, are studied and causes tracked to some invasive species of plant or fluctuation in water temperature or makeup. These are possible outside sources of vibrational interruption – the cells which make up that fish do not vibrate at the same rate as when they are “normal and healthy”. 


    The water may heat due to higher air temperatures. If the heat is short-lived, the cells in the fish expand (a movement caused by a change in each individual cell’s vibration) for a short time, their blood and respiration (gills) change their rate of speed. This is a temporary state and these changes stop when the heat leaves the water, and the fish returns to its “normal” state. If, however, the heat is increased long-term (as with global warming), the fish cannot maintain the changes required to tolerate this long-term increase, and die after a tolerated short-term change. This theory can be applied to fish, birds, plants – all living creatures. It all tracks down to our vibrational state – our ENERGY. 

  • Chakra Health

    BASIC  CHAKRA  HEALTH

    Following are basic guidelines for the Chakra system and their role in spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health.

    First / Root Chakra:

    Grounding energy center. Keeps your feet on the ground and your mind focused on the physical. Also focuses our mind and supports our creativity.

    Physically, our reproductive organs and sexuality.

    Problems with imbalance: Hip, leg, lower back and sexual organ disorders. Problems with feet, bones, legs, colon, weight.

    Blockage can create fearfulness about security and survival, feeling of being ungrounded, not belonging or being tied down, lacking imagination, not dreaming, being overly practical, the inability to let go of people or situations.

    Earth element with colors including black, brown and red.

    Second / Sacral Chakra:

    Relationship center. Controls social relationships and vitality.

    Physically, lower intestines and digestive system.

    Problems with imbalance: Kidneys, lower back, bowel problems, muscle spasms, reproductive system problems and urinary tract problems.

    Physically, thymus and thyroid.

    Problems with imbalance: Hyper or hypothyroid, skin irritations, ear infections, sore throats, inflammation, neck, shoulder and back pain.

    Blockage can create inconsistent communication, deceptive or manipulative behavior.

    Sound element with color blue.

    Sixth / Third Eye Chakra:

    Intuition and our senses, psychic energy center. Serves as our link to higher energies and our dream world.

    Physically, head.

    Problems with imbalance: headaches, blurry vision, blindness and eyestrain.

    Blockages can create a lack of imagination, vision, concentration, intuition, distorted vision, delusional thought and behavior, an over-reliance on logic and intellect.

    Light element with color purple.

    Seventh / Crown Chakra:

    Center of knowledge, information, and understanding.  Serves as our spiritual center and link to our higher selves.

    Physically, head and nervous system.

    Problems with imbalance include migraine, headaches and depression.

    Blockage can create an ungrounded, spacey, indecisive feeling, difficulty in finishing tasks, lack of common sense, depression, confusion, a feeling of being cut off spiritually, a deep sense of meaninglessness and alienation or, alternatively, feelings of grandiose, problems with cognition and mental illness.

    Thought element with colors of white, deep violet or complete lack of any color (clear).

    Running your own energies through your Chakras daily (or even twice a day) helps keep your energies clear and flowing smoothly.  This aids your own body in healing physically, as well as your emotions and psyche, and keeps you in the best possible health.  Once you have developed the “habit”, it will be easier to concentrate or spend more time on the Chakras needing your attention the most.

    Do make running your energies a habit. You’ll find you have more energy and feel more balanced – you WILL notice the difference in a short amount of time!!
