If you've ever engaged in a discussion on cosmology and space exploration with the
average person, a common question that comes up is "What does anything that
happens way out in the far reaches of space have to do with my life on Earth?"
It's always been the position of the chief science adviser to the
Thunderbolts Project, Wal Thornhill, that any coherent cosmology must include
meaningful insights into the nature and origins of life and consciousness. As you
know if you follow this channel, in the last year we began the series the
"Electricity of Life" with Alex Fournier which discusses things such as for instance,
the essential role of electricity in nature; like the electrical interactions
between bees and flowers and the recent discovery that DNA conducts electricity.
And a lot of these concepts become more mainstream with each passing year. In fact,
a number of scientific papers have been published on the role of electric fields
in the regeneration and healing of wounds. In just the last week or so, a
very interesting report was published on the use of cold plasma to treat
non-healing wounds such as those found in the elderly or those with diabetes.
Well today we're gonna be presenting an interview with a guest on a very
different kind of subject than we've normally presented on this channel. It
was, in fact, Wal Thornhill who brought the Thunderbolts Project's attention to the
work of a researcher and author by the name of Eileen Day McKusick. And Eileen
is the originator of an unconventional therapeutic method called Biofield
Tuning. This practice is based on the concept that the body is surrounded by a
so called bio-magnetic field, and this field produces sound waves, which can act
as indicators of a dysfunction or injury or illness in the body. Before we present
Eileen's interview, we asked Wal Thornhill to provide a brief
introduction and to explain the genesis of his own interest in Eileen's work.
Wal Thornhill: Eileen McKusick first got in touch with me in 2010 and asked me questions about the
Electric Universe.
Eileen explained that she was a self-taught sound therapist,
who had been using tuning forks therapeutically since 1996. Over the last
few years, as a result of accidental discoveries, she started working up to
six feet off the body in what she called "the body's energy field" and she
discovered that sound waves interact with the field in several ways. The
overtones appear to reflect, in a SONAR or Ultrasound kind of way, the information
embedded in the field. And for some odd reason she said she's able to understand
and translate this information. And not so long ago, she started wondering
exactly what it was she was working with. Is it electromagnetism? What exactly is
happening?
Eileen said that she got into the subject because she had bought her son
a few science books for his 12th birthday. And after reading through them, he said
at dinner time,
"Did you know there's a fourth state of matter called plasma?" He was very surprised
he hadn't learned about it in school.
Eileen decided to look it up on the internet and learn about it. She came
across information that Russian researchers in the 1970's
declared the human energy field a bio-plasma. Eileen, I found, is an inveterate
researcher and so it was that she came upon the Electric Universe. It seemed
no time at all before Eileen was giving presentations and including the Electric
Universe. So, I was not surprised at EU2016 when Eileen told her audience that
her work was to be researched scientifically. I think it quite possible
that the Electric Universe may provide a means of understanding this research.
Eileen McKusick: So, in 1996 I had a small massage therapy practice, sort of a hobby. I actually owned a
very busy restaurant and holistic therapies, and science and spirituality,
human potential were all sort of hobbies of mine. And I was doing massage just,
you know, once in a while. But I was really interested in research, and I've always
been inquisitive and curious about how things work and always have a stack of
books on my bedside table. And I had been reading about the use of color and
sound and music in healing. And this was after I had discovered quantum physics
that says, you know, everything is vibration. And I remember thinking, well,
if everything is fundamentally vibration, if stuff is an artifact of our
perception and our nervous system, then treating vibration with vibration since
I'm vibration seems very logical. And so I... I... you know read... I don't know there wasn't a lot. It
was the mid-90's; so, there wasn't an awful lot of information out there. But I
read what I could find and then I came across a set of tuning forks for healing
in a catalog. So, I just got them on impulse, and I started experimenting with
them, with people that I felt comfortable enough to say, can you be a guinea pig?
And I notice right off the bat that they didn't behave the way I thought they
were going to. I thought that if you activated a tuning fork and held it over
someone's body it was just going to present an objective tone. It was gonna
be an input to their system. But what I found was that it actually ended up
being a conversation between the sounds coming out of the body that, you know, we
don't hear but that are definitely coming out of the body. Like everything
in the body is in motion, and everything in motion makes waves and waves
propagate. So, just like when people get in
like an EKG or an EEG, they've got sensors on their skin that are reading, you
know, the vibrations being produced in the body but those waves
don't stop at the skin, you know, they keep going off the body. And so, what I
discovered was that the overtones and the undertones the, you know, inaudible parts of the
tuning fork seem to intersect and even like broadcast the waves coming off the
body. So, like if somebody had pain in a particular area and I held the tuning fork
over that area, it would sound really sharp or sometimes it would sound
full of static. But I also discovered that if I kept on introducing the area,
the tuning fork to the area where there was noise and after a little while
it just wouldn't sound noisy anymore. It would sound kind of harmonious. And then the
person will come back the next week and say to me, "All that pain in my shoulder
went away. That sound thing was really cool
do that again!" And so in pretty short order, my massage practice morphed into a
sound therapy practice. And I just developed this little, you know, method of
using tuning forks over people, finding areas that were noisy and hanging out there until
they stop being noisy. And then, you know, people would feel better. It was so simple
and elegant and curious. I also discovered that I could actually seem to like move
stuff around with the tuning fork. So for example, I might find an area where, if I
held a tuning fork in it, the fork would get really loud. And I was working in what's
called the Chakra System, which is the hypothesis that our subtle body has
these vortices of information and energy flow at very specific points along the
spine, and they happen to correspond with areas where we actually have nerve
clusters in our physiology. So, I was using specific tuning forks for specific
chakras, basically, you know, tuning people chakras, which
you can imagine when I was telling people in Connecticut in the 90's
that I was using tuning forks to tune people chakras, what kind of response I
got to that. And it was actually, it was kind of embarrassing to tell people
because there's something about when you say tuning fork and sound healing and chakras
that, you know, skeptics just really put walls up. And I'm very logical by
nature, and I really didn't like being perceived that way. So over the years,
I've gone off on a kind of scientific and academic exploration to try to find
language and laws of physics that would explain the phenomenon that I was
encountering with my tuning forks.
So, what I was saying is that I would find these loud spots. And I discovered
that I could actually drag these loud spots around. And so if I found one off
someone's left hip, you know, sitting over someone's left hip,
I could use the tuning fork to sort of hook into the loud spot and then I could
drag it to the center midline of the body where there was supposedly a chakra
and I could put it there. And then it wouldn't sound loud over the hip anymore,
it'd sound loud over the chakra, the energy center. If it was going to be loud anywhere, I figure,
it should be, you know, where they're is supposed to be a center. So, I developed
this method of basically what I called the "Click, Drag and Drop" of finding these loud
spots and bringing them to the chakras and then the chakras would sound louder. And
people always say the same thing, "I feel lighter--I feel brighter--I feel clearer--my
pain is gone--my anxiety is diminished" with the same sort of, you know,
predictable outcomes that happen from this. So, I did it as a hobby for 10 years.
And then one day, I accidentally discovered a loud spot three feet off of
someone's body. And when I moved it to center, which felt very curious because
I'd only been like making them move little distances up to that point,
the person experienced a very dramatic outcome to an issue that she'd been
struggling with and no one had been able to help. And so that got me really
curious about the area
off the body. And I started exploring that, and what emerged from that is
something that I call the "Biofield Anatomy Map." And it's essentially the
discovery and the hypothesis that our memories, rather than solely being stored
in our brain, appear to be stored in standing waves in the atmosphere around
our body. And I've come to hypothesize that this is a diffuse magnetic plasma
or a bio-plasma, and that our memories are vibrationally and magnetically encoded
in this field. And I've discovered that the field has a very specific anatomy,
meaning that every time we feel a particular emotion it has a particular
frequency signature or wavelength and that that wavelength exists at a very
specific region within this field. For example, the left side of the heart appears
to hold all of our stories and our experiences, every time we've ever felt
sad. So, I can start at the outer edge of your field, which seems to me to be
bounded by a membrane that has a higher level of charge in it. When I pass the
tuning fork through this membrane that's maybe five feet off the body, it appears
to be about a two-inch region where there is a greater amount of charge, and
that seems to define the outer boundary of a person's field or their magnetic
bubble. And that area holds the information of their gestation and then
their birth. And then from there in towards the body,
it's like going through a person's lifeline or timeline of every single
experience they've ever had which seems to be encoded in this area. And
when we experience a trauma, it produces chaotic waveforms. So, any history of
memory that you have--of car accidents, parents dying, moving when you're 14--like
all these things are traumas
that create these chaotic waveforms in your field, in your nervous system. And with
a tuning fork, we can find them, can identify them based on where they're falling in
the field--the age that it happened, the emotions and things that were
involved--so we can identify them. But then the really curious thing is that when
you hold a tuning fork very specifically in this area of distance related to a
traumatic memory, the body becomes self-aware of its own incoherence and will actually
tune itself, just like a musician. You know, if you're tuning up your guitar you need
someone to give you an E, and you can tune to that and get your instrument in tune. It's the
same idea what the body does. It becomes self-aware of its own incoherence and
does, what seems to me, to be like a kind of a targeted nervous system relaxation.
And it just kind of lets go of the tension that it's holding around that
particular trauma. And that can lead to the diminishment of all kinds of things.
Pain is just, you know, like an area of tension that's being held in the nervous
system. Anxiety, depression...all these things are just patterns and rhythms and
flows within this electromagnetic system. And elegance of this particular method
is that we can, you know, determine that your anxiety came from a traumatic birth
that happened, you know, below the level of your consciousness. You have no idea
why you're always anxious. But it goes, you know, we find it back in this
timeline and can shift it at its source. So, this has evolved into, you know over
the years, I've been doing like I said since '96. In 2010 I started teaching it
to people, and we found that, you know, anybody can learn. Anybody can learn to
pick up a tuning fork, strike it, start moving in towards someone from five or
six feet away,
read the vibes that are being broadcast from the person's body held in the field,
find these areas of distortion and just hang out in them until the body
basically fixes itself.
So, I've trained hundreds of people, at this point now, to do it. And people are
integrating it into things like occupational therapy, physical therapy,
chiropractic, nursing, I have some naturopaths as well, psychotherapists, music
therapists. So it can work as a stand-alone therapy like I do it or it
can just be integrated into other forms of therapy.
