Response from Eve Kodiak, Lydian Center

I got a nice response from Eve Kodiak at the Lydian Center in Cambridge, MA regarding sound waves moving through CSF. Here it is:

Hello, Beth,
> You asked me to elaborate on the process of sound waves set up by
> tuning forks that move through the CSF. Basically, it's sympathetic
> vibration. As a musician, you know that you can sing a certain note and
> get the piano strings vibrating all by themselves, if the damper pedal
> is up. The very pure tones of the tuning forks set off sympathetic
> vibrations in the physical structure of the body itself, and the
> coherence and force of the wave pattern can kind of "smooth out"
> disorganized connective tissue.
> The effect is very relaxing. I personally use a set of tuning forks
> based on the Pythagorean tuning system. They are tuned to the circle of
> fifths, and I use them in pairs, one at each ear. I work completely
> through the hearing mechanism, I do not place tuning forks on the body.
> I purchased my forks through The School For Inner Sound, and took a
> training course with them. I use the forks primarily as an adjunct to
> my work as a Brain Gym Consultant and craniosacral therapist. I find
> that the forks enhance and integrate the other modalities very nicely.
> I hope that this answers your inquiry.
> be well!
