Vibrational Sound Therapy

Based on the research of Fabien Maman, a musician/composer who became an acupuncturist, vibrational sound therapy is an energy-based, non-invasive treatment that is similar to acupuncture but without needles.  Tuning forks are used to resonate through the cellular medium in the body’s tissues, not through the auditory canal. Music, in short, is a way of regulating, through human intervention, the creative forces at work in the world. In this manner, music and musical tones have a direct impact on the process of healing.

All of your senses can accept healing energy. Just as you might experience a balancing effect by viewing visually beautiful stimuli through your eyes, your other senses can receive powerful healing frequencies as well.  Your ears and nose may receive sound frequencies and scents that resonate with your body-mind-spirit and create a shift in your mood and your overall health.  But the sense organs on your head are only one way of receiving these healing messages.  This also can be accomplished by placing a vibrating tuning fork (precision-calibrated to emit a very specific frequency) on many of the same points used for acupuncture – creating a subtle but powerful signal that resonates with the organ systems as the energy meridians of the body distribute the message throughout your body.

The tuning fork transmits a pure tone that travels deeper through the body’s tissues and much faster than the vibration of an acupuncture needle. Furthermore, sound therapy is founded on the ancient principle that there are definite frequencies that affect each of the five phases as well as the twelve meridians.  When the frequencies of tuning forks are applied to specific points on the body, the sound waves travel deeply into the body along energy pathways, affecting human physiology and reaching places deep within us. Applying the tuning forks stimulates and balances the body's physical and subtle energy fields to promote healing and inner harmony. This work is deeply transformational.

Our modern culture has lost its connection to the rhythms and cycles of nature and the universe. This alienation manifests as an imbalance and disease of the body and its systems. Vibrational sound healing seeks to harmonize and balance the physical body, the psyche, and the soul and to reconnect the individual with the natural rhythms, pulses, cycles, and flows of our world.  As it does so, it helps to bridge, balance, and harmonize our inner and outer universes.


“(Rhythm) is there in the cycles of the seasons, in the migrations of the birds and animals, in the fruiting and withering of plants, and in the birth, maturation and death of ourselves.”  Mickey Hart, Grateful Dead
