		Introduction:	The INNER SOUND Tuning Forks are a precision made set of 13 aluminum forks manufactured in the USA to the specifications of INNER SOUND. They are tuned in an ascending spiral of pure 5th intervals. (The upper tone of this interval is 1.5 times the frequency of the lower tone.) The perfect 5th interval is the second most important ratio after the octave in the harmonic series. In more classical music theory, the interval of the fifth relates to man's spiritual ascension towards God as the frequencies ascend in a spiraling effect. OM Tuners: A set of OM Tuners. The middle fork is the OM frequency, 136.1 Hz, which resonates in the area of the 3rd chakra in the solar plexus. The OM Tuners are excellent for regulating the 3rd chakra (solar plexus) and working with activating and balancing all the organs in that area as well as the intestines. They are also good for grounding and creativity.
		Linear / non linear harmonics	The harmonic series (linear) are overtones that are produced naturally by most musical instruments. Any instrument that produces linear harmonics produces overtones which are all whole number ratios of the fundamental (original note) or the note sounded or played. (If you play an 'A', which measures 110Hz, the first overtone will measure at 220Hz, which is also an 'A'. Each successive overtone will be a multiple of the original 110Hz. Instruments exhibiting linear characteristics are typically used for harmonizing, balancing and aligning and to promote life's most fundamental movement of expansion and contraction: strings, woodwinds, brass and the human voice. The non-linear spectrum are instruments whose sound produce non-linear ratios. Typically, these encompass different percussion instruments which, in healing, are used for breaking structures, opening or dissolving blockages. These include Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, cymbals, drums and the digeridoo. It is worth mentioning here that the piano exhibits characteristics of both linear and non-linear harmonics because it is both a string instrument and it is hammered as opposed to plucked. For this reason, it should be considered in a separate category.
		Sine Waves	Tuning forks are designed to emit a pure tone (sine wave). A sine wave is created by a simple back and forth movement over the whole length of the tuning fork. This is quite easy to control as opposed to any more complex vibrating system. For example, a string will divide itself into a number of separate vibrating segments and therefore produce multiple harmonics. Tuning forks can be manufactured to reproduce specific frequencies. They are so precise that their normal use is to give a reference tone. They are used in many areas of medicine as well as in music for this reason.
		Why Aluminium?	The characteristics of aluminum best cover the wide range of frequencies offered in the Inner Sound Tuning Forks. The healing effect of tuning forks comes from our body's ability to respond to their pure sound. They provide an overall attunement of the body, which, in turn, promotes flexibility within the nervous system. The starting point of the series was derived from the frequency of the Schumann Earth Cavity, 7.865Hz, which is the resonance of the planet. This is well below the hearing threshold that normally does not extend below 20Hz. The first tuning fork in the series has a frequency of 31.46Hz, which is exactly 2 octaves above the Schumann Earth Cavity resonance. This is the first multiple of that frequency that registers within our hearing threshold.
		Effect:	Using the tuning forks as recommended in our instructions, supplied with each set, produces an organized movement of expansion and contraction - a wave - throughout the body. This happens at many levels helping to balance and tune the body at a gross and subtle level. The INNER SOUND tuning forks also activate the relaxation reflex by discharging static energy in the nervous system. The following is the ascending order and recommended combination the forks should be used in: 1st pair 31Hz and 47Hz 2nd pair 47Hz and 71Hz 3rd pair 71Hz and 106Hz Specific ways to play the forks using some of the INNER SOUND motifs is taught in training offered through the School for Inner Sound to create healing effects on different systems in the body.
