This post explores Eileen McKusick’s discovery of the Biofield Anatomy Map, her philosophy behind Biofield Tuning, and how she’s revolutionizing sound therapy.

Biofield Tuning: Health and Harmony

Biofield Tuning is an innovative sound therapy method that uses tuning forks and vibrational frequencies to promote relaxation, balance, and harmony in the body and mind. By working with the biofield—the energy field surrounding the body—this practice may support emotional and physical well-being by addressing energy blockages and stress. The vibrations produced by the tuning forks encourage the nervous system to respond, potentially releasing subtle energy and restoring flow.

Mapping the Biofield

Eileen McKusick, the founder of Biofield Tuning and author of “Electric Body, Electric Health” and “Tuning the Human Biofield,” has studied the human body’s electrical system for over two decades. Much like neuroscientists map the brain, McKusick has meticulously charted the biofield, offering insights into how emotional patterns, mindsets, and traumas may reside within this energy field. Her fascination with vibrational healing led her to propose that our memories are stored in standing waves within the biofield, like a personal cloud storage system surrounding the body.

Driven by her deep curiosity, McKusick began using tuning forks, similar to sonar, to explore the energetic space around the body. After years of research, she identified a structure now called the Biofield Anatomy. Her work suggests that emotions may emit distinct frequencies and tonal qualities, detectable with tuning forks. She also explored the temporal aspect of the biofield, proposing that the magnetic field surrounding the body may be intertwined with the mind, possibly encoding memories in a vibrational format.

Exploring the Biofield Anatomy Map

The Biofield Anatomy Map allows for the exploration of potential imbalances in the seven major chakras, as well as the chakras located at the knees and feet. Each chakra is believed to be associated with specific emotions and states of mind.

This map can help you gain insights into how emotions, traumas, and mental patterns could relate to physical issues, such as accidents, injuries, or illnesses.

These physical challenges are often linked to underlying mental or emotional imbalances and past traumas. Identifying these connections may help address and release energy blockages within the body. Understanding this map is especially beneficial for Integrating Biofield Tuning. The following energy blockages can be associated with the corresponding feelings. Eileen McKusick says, “The sides of each chakra are like file drawers containing records of a specific emotion or state of mind.”

Earth Star Chakra

Located below your feet, the Earth Star battery terminal connects you to the negative ascending earth energy, helping you ground and discharge energy.

Foot Chakras

Right: next steps, where you're headed, and how you feel about it
Left: mired, stuck, wanting to move away from stressor but can't

Knee Chakras

Right: challenges moving forward, confusion, obstacles
Left: difficulties with attachment and letting go

Root Chakra

Right: busy-ness, overdoing and overthinking
Left: things you want to be doing, being, or having; unmet needs

Sacral Chakra

Right: guilt and shame
Left: frustration and disappointment

Solar Chakra

Right: relationship with your father; anger; connected to the Adrenal Field
Left: relationship with your mother; powerlessness

Heart Chakra

Right: saying yes when you mean no, caretaking, accommodating
Left: sadness, grief, loss, and depression

Throat Chakra

Right: speaking but not being heard
Left: that which you do not say or express

Third Eye Chakra

Right: thinking about the past
Left: worrying about the future
Both sides: concussion or head injury

Crown Chakra

Relationship with time and nature

Sun Star Chakra

Located above your head, the Sun Star “battery terminal” is thought to connect you to the positive descending energy of the sun and cosmos.

Beyond The Chakras

A Biofield Tuning session goes beyond the major chakras, exploring additional areas such as the Ancestral River, Parent Zones, and Ditches. We can tune specific cells, organs, body systems, scar tissue, and more. Each area influences overall well-being and may offer opportunities for shifts toward greater harmony and energetic flow.

Ancestral River

Did you know you inherited the song's tone from your ancestors' DNA? You didn't just inherit eye and hair color from family but also mental and emotional tendencies. Although it seems irrelevant, your ancestors' physical, mental, and emotional experiences can greatly influence your life.
By tuning into the DNA you can remove the noise and improve how that info expresses itself in yourself, your ancestors, and your descendants. As you move toward greater harmony and flow, it may positively affect others as well.

Mother & Father Zones

The Mother Zone (left) and Father Zone (right) are believed to reside on the sides of your biofield, potentially holding energetic information related to your parents.

Right & Left Ditches

Energy may become stuck in the left and right side ditches of the body, which can lead to attachments to old patterns. The central energy channel is thought to balance feminine and masculine energies, and any imbalanced expressions of these polarities might result in feeling energetically stuck on one side or the other.
Right-hand ditch holds more active masculine, yang imbalances like anger, blame, aggression, overthinking, overdoing, and self-righteousness.
Left-hand ditch holds more passive feminine, yin imbalances like unmet needs, sadness, disappointment, frustration, stifled expression, and powerlessness.

Using The Biofield Anatomy Map

Whether you’re looking for relief from discomfort or are simply curious about your biofield, the Biofield Anatomy Map is a valuable reference. View options at biofieldtuningstore.com.

When combined with McKusick’s books, Electric Body, Electric Health and Tuning the Human Biofield, the Biofield Anatomy Map can deepen your understanding of the intricate connections within the biofield. It can assist in identifying and releasing energetic imbalances that are believed to manifest as physical, mental, or emotional blockages, potentially leading to greater harmony and well-being.

"Tuning reveals who you are beyond your pain body. So much of a person’s potential can get stuck in this contraction of stuck energy. Anything you do to level up your energy elevates all of us." — Eileen McKusick
