I am not sure if any of you have heard of acutone therapy, but I just had a very interesting conversation with the creator of acutone, Dean Loyd. He has developed a system of therapy that uses tuning forks and the sound generated by them instead of acupuncture needles. He created the system by studying Chinese music theory and realized that the ancient Chinese had an advanced music therapy system and that the tones and scales of this system coinsided with the 5 elements in a Chinese version of the pentatonic scale but also that certain tones correlated with the 8 pre & post heaven gua. He believes that Feng Shui and music went hand and hand, and that certain rooms were made to resonate a paticular tone. So that when the corresponding tone was played in that room it would have a theraputic effect on those in that room.
I was very interested in what he had to say about the 8 pre and post heaven gua and how they correlate to the tones, and also how they work on the 8 extraordinary vessels. According to him major and minor tones correlate to the yin and yang aspects of the vessles. Thus playing the appropriate tone on the correct master and couple points could create a theraputic resonance within that vessle. This really starts to interest me in reference to my Ba Gua Zhang practice. He seemed to beleive that the post heaven tones worked for Feng Shui and for cleansing spaces, and the pre heaven tones worked theraputicaly on the body. I wonder if you could create hexagramal tones using both together, or if by creating an energy internally and projecting it through the tuning fork if that might create a hexagramal energy, one pre heaven (energy) one post heaven(resonating tone) creating the hexagram.
Either way I am planning on getting the tuning forks soon and the charts to go along with it. I have a feeling with my ear and my understanding of TCM I should pick it up rather quickly. I will keep you posted as to how the tuning forks work in both healing and in my Ba Gua practice. Until then.
