Biofield Tuning — Concentric Harmonic Layers
Biofield Tuning — Concentric Harmonic Layers is a Modern Western Esoteric - Bioenergetic sound therapy (biofield tuning) body system as transmitted through the lineage Eileen Day McKusick's Biofield Tuning describes the human biofield as a structured electromagnetic field extending around the body, where tension and traumatic charge may be encountered as dissonant or stagnant sonic patterns. Practitioners use tuning forks at measured positions in and around the field, then move toward the body and along a central axis as an experiential sound-therapy intervention.. This page lists every point in the system with sourced placements and links to cross-tradition correspondences curated for The Body Spiritual.

- Eileen Day McKusick, Tuning the Human Biofield: Healing with Vibrational Sound Therapy (Inner Traditions, 2014) — Primary account of Biofield Tuning, the field's measured distance model, dissonance/trauma language, and the use of tuning forks around the body.
Known lineage variants
- This is a low-to-medium-fidelity rendering of a contemporary practice model: McKusick's field distances and sound-work method are represented, but the five age-bands are an editorial synthesis rather than a fixed canonical set of shells.
- The source describes field measurements and practitioner listening rather than a universally standardized anatomical coordinate grid. The front-view midline points from crown to feet and their normalized coordinates are editorial anchors for a two-dimensional interface, not claims about tissue, disease, or objectively measurable trauma storage.
- The renderer orders concentric shells outer-to-inner, so the data list starts with the farthest/foundational layer and ends with the near-body/present layer; read from the body outward, this is the model's present-to-earlier chronological interpretation.
- Biofield Tuning schools vary in fork frequencies, distance conventions, session sequencing, and language for trauma or tension. This map does not imply that every practitioner uses these six axis anchors or that sound therapy diagnoses or treats a medical condition.
- Anatomical-right follows the corpus front-view convention (x < 0.5); all anchors here are midline at x = 0.500, and the front projection omits the posterior field.

Frequently asked
What is Crown axis anchor?
The crown anchor marks the top of the front-view listening axis where a practitioner may sound or hold a tuning fork while attending to the upper field. Its normalized placement is an editorial projection of McKusick's field practice, not a claim that the crown is a unique anatomical storage site for trauma.
What is Brow axis anchor?
The brow anchor provides a compact front-view location for listening to the field around the forehead and upper face. It is a practice-oriented attention point aligned to the midline, not a textual claim that a fork at this coordinate measures cognition or a specific trauma.
What is Throat axis anchor?
The throat anchor marks a midline point at the neck where sound, resonance, and vocal expression can be used as a practitioner focus. Its position is a broad interface marker derived from the sound-therapy context rather than a claim that the throat contains a discrete biofield layer.
What is Heart axis anchor?
The heart anchor is a front-view thoracic focus for sounding a fork and listening for changes in resonance through the central field. The broad radius acknowledges the interpretive nature of the projection and does not assert that emotional history is physically stored in the heart region.
What is Navel axis anchor?
The navel anchor supplies a central trunk reference for the practitioner’s fork work and for centring the concentric field drawing. The normalized coordinate is an interface convention chosen to stabilise the body-centred shell geometry, not a claim that the navel is a universal diagnostic centre.
What is Feet axis anchor?
The feet anchor closes the visible crown-to-feet axis and gives the sound practitioner a lower-field and grounding attention point. Because the source practice includes work in the field around the whole person, this single midline marker is a broad front-view shorthand rather than a claim about either foot or a literal endpoint.
