You are invited to relax in a quiet environment that will allow you to stay intentionally engaged throughout the tuning. Your practitioner will first assess which area of the body to begin working for this particular session.

Activating a tuning fork and slowly scanning the electromagnetic biofield of the client, the practitioner uses the tools diagnostically, feeling for resistance and turbulence while listening for changes in the overtones and undertones.

When the practitioner encounters a turbulent area, this signifies the body requires more coherent input of the tuning fork in order to resolve the apparent stagnation. Research suggests that the body’s organizing intelligence uses the steady, coherent vibrational frequency of the tuning fork to “tune” itself, bringing the area of turbulence back into stasis.

This process appears to correspond to the release of tension within the body, allowing clients to relax, breathe more freely, and enter an increased flow state.

We recommend beginning with a series of three sessions, typically spaced one week apart.

Many people experience significant improvement—or complete resolution—of their concerns within this initial series. However, there is no set limit to how many sessions you can receive. Each session builds upon the last, gradually working through deeper layers of tension and imbalance over time.

No. Substantial research supports the effectiveness of distance sessions, which have been shown to be just as impactful as in-person sessions.

In December 2020, the Biofield Tuning Institute collaborated with the Consciousness and Healing Initiative to study the effects of remote Biofield Tuning on individuals with clinical anxiety. Fifteen participants each received one hour-long distance session per week for three weeks. By the end of the study, all participants reported a significant reduction in anxiety. These findings led to the publication of two peer-reviewed articles.

To get the most out of your tuning session, choose a quiet and comfortable space where you won’t be interrupted. Your bed, a cozy couch, or any relaxing spot will work well. Have some water or tea nearby, and keep a blanket within reach in case you feel chilly. It's also a good idea to use the bathroom before the session begins.

Once the session starts, your only task is to relax. Gently bring your attention to your breath and how your body feels. Your practitioner will check in with you as needed throughout the process.

Every session is different, and there’s no right or wrong way to experience it. Some people notice tingling sensations, subtle shifts in energy, or a feeling of lightness. Others may not feel much at all—and that’s perfectly okay. Even without strong sensations, the session can still be deeply effective.

After your session, you may experience what's known as a detox response—though not everyone does. If it happens, you might feel more tired than usual, emotionally sensitive, or notice mild symptoms like headaches or dizziness. In some cases, people report increased mucus, low-grade fever, digestive changes, or heightened thirst. These reactions are typically mild and short-lived, often resolving within a day or two.

To support your body’s natural processing, make hydration a priority. Drinking plenty of water or a calming herbal tea can be especially beneficial. A warm Epsom salt bath (soak for at least 20 minutes) can also help your system release any lingering physical tension or energetic buildup from the session.

Biofield Tuning is not recommended for individuals who are acutely ill, as it may prompt a strong detoxification or healing response. As the body releases stored tension, toxins held in constricted tissues can be mobilized, occasionally resulting in temporary symptoms such as fatigue, emotional fluctuations, flu-like sensations, loose stools, or—rarely—skin irritation or nausea. Biofield Tuning is contraindicated in certain situations, including pregnancy, active cancer, palliative care, and the presence of specific implanted medical devices.
