BIOFIELD TUNING SESSIONS (Private and Group)

Sound, singing, and vibrational is an ancient healing practice. With modern science we can assess how these modalities can: 

• Promotes healing and recovery
• Reduces inflammation and pain
• Helps to improve sleep, energy and mood

The term biofield refers to our body’s electrical system in its entirety - both the electric current that runs through our bodies, and the magnetic field that surrounds it. Biofield Tuning is a Sound Therapy system that works directly with this system, seeing it as inextricably connected with our conscious and subconscious mind, including our memories. 

All physical, mental and emotional disorders can be perceived as "dissonance" in our electrical system. Biofield Tuning is able to locate, diminish and resolve this dissonance and in doing so, alleviate and even eradicate the corresponding physical, mental and/or emotional symptoms.

Biofield Tuning is a sound therapy method that works directly with this system, seeing it as inextricably connected with our conscious mind.
