EvolutionFM Transcript: Tuning Your Electric Biofield (Eileen McKusick)

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or on your favorite podcast platform.

Eileen McKusick, founder of Biofield Tuning, discovered that the human body has an electrical system surrounded by a torus-shaped magnetic field storing memories and emotions. Specific areas in this “biofield” relate to emotional patterns and physical pain.

Using tuning forks, she detects distortions through sound feedback, which allows the body’s intelligence to self-correct. This can quickly release stuck emotions, ease pain, and restore vitality. She observes that injuries often occur where the field is already weak, and clearing trauma strengthens resilience.

Her method works both in person and remotely via resonance in the ether. She sees healing as restoring natural harmony, with benefits extending to ancestral patterns and the collective. She urges trusting inner guidance and working with nature to support health. For her, the goal of healing is freedom to enjoy life’s moments with presence, creativity, and joy.

Scott Britton (00:00.874)

Hey Eileen, how are you?

Eileen McKusick (00:03.145)

Hey Scott, I'm great, good to see you. Thanks for having me on.

Scott Britton (00:06.584)

Good to see you too. And I'm excited to dive into the world of the biofield and tuning and yeah, just this whole world that I think is starting to become more something that many people are interested in. And so I guess to kick things off, what for you is that initial inflection point where you realize that there is a magnetic field around the body?

Eileen McKusick (00:34.591)

That's a great question. Well, back in 1996, I got my very first set of tuning forks and I started using them experimentally in my part-time massage therapy practice. And right off the bat, I made observations that really surprised me and that I didn't have an explanation for. And my...

understanding, my current understanding of the biofield really came from hands-on work in it and being completely confused about what I was encountering. Certain things like I discovered that when I moved the tuning fork over the body and the atmosphere around the body that I would encounter areas that felt like I was hitting something that had mass.

there would be a definite sense of resistance, a sense of weight, and even more perplexing, I could actually move those areas with the tuning fork. So my big questions were, and I ended up writing a master's thesis on this between 2010 and 2012. I went to college as an adult because I never went out of high school. So I did a deep academic dive into a very esoteric subject.

And that is where I discovered that the body has an electrical system that we never learn about. Although that is certainly changing in the last few years. There's more and more people out there that I see on social media referencing bioelectricity because back then there were no references to it at all, really. mean, certainly the classic books like The Body Electric and Cross-Currents by Robert O. Becker, but there was surprisingly little literature to be found.

about the nature of the electric body in human beings. And so through a combination of my own felt sense and observation over many, many, many hours in the clinic, and then coming to understand that, our body really does have an electrical system. And we know, we all learn in grade school, that anything that has electric current running through it has a magnetic field around it. And the human body is no different.

Eileen McKusick (03:00.157)

And so this whole idea of the aura or the human energy field that's been dismissed as paranormal or pseudoscientific is actually based in really basic science that we already know. And so I think that there's been a real attempt to keep people in the chemical mechanical paradigm, especially when it comes to medicine, because there's certainly a monopoly in medicine of a mechanistic approach. And

What I found is that working with biofield with the body's electrical system is way more efficient, it's way more effective, it's way more elegant, it's way more economical. And this is, think, the new paradigm that we're going into is seeing life and our health and bodies through an electric vibrational lens instead of a chemical mechanical lens.

Scott Britton (03:49.44)

I totally agree. it seems, you know, from what I've what I've studied, and in just a lot of whether it's esoteric teachings, or, yes, some of the books you mentioned, that those physical manifestations are actually downstream of what's occurring in in this electrical field that you're talking about.

Eileen McKusick (04:09.745)

Exactly, it's primary. It's primary and the physical symptoms are downstream of that. And so when we work at that level, we get right into the root to the causality and help that to crack. And it's often a wiring problem. I call myself a bioelectrician because I go in and I use my tuning forks to adjust and to manipulate and to groom the body's electrical system so that the blueprint that is giving the signal to the body is put back in order.

and then the body follows that.

Scott Britton (04:42.412)

So we have this field that's around our body. Can you describe it a little bit and actually talk about like what's in it? Like what is it doing and why should we care?

Eileen McKusick (04:56.383)

Yeah, let me just grab a model that I've got.

Okay, so this is a torus. And a torus is a sphere with a central channel down the middle. So when I was investigating with my tuning forks, originally I was just working over the body. But then after 10 years of doing that, I accidentally discovered that there was stuff going on around the body. And I started to investigate that. And basically I used a tuning fork like sonar or lidar or radar or echolocation.

I bounce sound off the body and off of the field, and I listen to the ping back. And just like all of those technologies will give you a visual representation of something that's maybe invisible to the eye, I had the same experience in sounding this atmosphere. And in all of the esoteric renderings that I had seen of the aura, you see...

bodies of different densities, subtle bodies of different densities with a gradient that becomes lighter and lighter the further it goes out. But what I found was a membrane. I found, I was like, this is a membrane. This is like a boundary of a bubble. And so that was kind of unusual to me when you see all these images that tell you otherwise, but my senses were telling me something different. And so that's when I discovered the model of the Taurus and how

nature forms the torus fractally at many dimensions of scale. Even a bar magnet, if you put a piece of paper over it and sprinkle iron filings, those filings are going to show up in these bands and create like a torus shape of flow. So I would say the biofield, your body's electrical system in its entirety, the electricity that beats your heart and makes your brain waves work and...

Eileen McKusick (06:51.911)

flows through your blood, right? Your whole body, you have to have a certain amount of electrical current across every cell membrane. So there's a whole flow that's going on continuously. And I would say that that is your mind. It's your conscious mind where your thoughts and feelings are perceptible. It's your subconscious mind where all of your memories are stored. So as far as like what is in this field around us, what I discovered were memories.

held in standing waves. So in the reductionist mechanistic model, mind is inside the body and memories are inside the brain. But in this model, your body is inside your mind, because this is your body inside your field. And your memories are stored in standing waves in your field. They're very accessible. And so what I did was I mapped this field. And I discovered that it had a very specific anatomy and physiology

Scott Britton (07:21.098)

Mm.

Eileen McKusick (07:50.025)

that was the same from person to person. They were like different states of mind in different areas. And I started to observe that everyone who came in with pain in certain areas had the same underlying mental or emotional imbalance. And so the biofield anatomy map is a breakdown of if you have pain here, this is what the mental emotional state is that's underlying it.

And that's the basis of biofiletining that all of our students and practitioners work with. And it's a model that works again and again and again. So the field is both stratified into these different places, these different levels where different vibrational signatures of different emotions reside. Like just for example, Scott, do you have any aches or pains anywhere or have you had any injuries?

Scott Britton (08:40.464)

I do. I don't do I ever and and yeah, like for me, it's like the back of my neck, like top of my I guess like shoulders like lower neck like, man, I just been dealing with that for years.

Eileen McKusick (08:58.409)

Okay, so we want to hear about what that area relates to. Okay, yeah, so most of us were raised in homes where we were given like an abstinence only option for emotionality, right? If we started to cry or we started to get angry, most of us were just shut down. And so we all kind of learned to like stuff and plug our emotions because...

Scott Britton (09:02.314)

Please, enlighten me.

Eileen McKusick (09:24.531)

They weren't welcome at school, they weren't welcome in our family, and we all just learned to basically stuff it. And whether we, as adults, we use alcohol or drugs or food or even overwork or in your case, sheer will, right? So at the base of the neck and the top of the back, there's an area that houses what I call the gatekeeper. And the gatekeeper is like a bouncer at a fancy club.

and he gets to decide what emotions come up into cognition. So if any unwelcome emotions, like maybe in your case self-pity or anger or frustration start to arise, we stuff them back down again. So the pain and any inflammation you have there are emotions that your inner bouncer has declared

not acceptable for cognition and expression. And so what you have literally there is a backlog of emotions that started to arise and then got arrested from completing the trajectory of that emotional expression.

Scott Britton (10:35.561)

I mean, I must have a seven foot tall, 400 pound bouncer hanging out because yeah, it's wild. And that definitely tracks for me. to me, it's so interesting, right? Because we have this toroidial field that I've heard you say is like six feet in each direction, roughly on average per person. And yet we have this acute pain in our body and it's...

And I guess the way to think about it is the way to think about it is my question is like, some point in that field is just expressing at that point in our body, like there's like a map between like two feet to the left of in our in our field, like from our body equals the neck. Is that kind of how it works?

Eileen McKusick (11:25.993)

Well, yes, it can. mean, the field is very interesting. So the timeline aspect of it is that the outer boundary contains information from gestation, right? And then we think about it, when you're inside your mother, you're kind of in this double layer protection. So the membrane, it has more charge. And then just inside that is birth. And so when I work on somebody and I started the outer edge of their field and I slowly move the tuning fork in towards their body, slowly.

Okay? It's like dropping on a needle on an album and reading the vibrational record of their life. So their whole life, your memories are all in the field around you and can be located. So if you fell out of a tree when you were four, I can go find the exact spot where that memory is housed. It's gonna be about five and a half feet away from you. It's probably gonna be on the side of your head that you hit.

And I'm like, oh, here's that head injury. And we can feel it. We can feel the scar tissue or the cognitive upset that it created. So depending on what is going on in your neck, might be related to that tendency. When did that tendency to start to really internalize emotions begin? And you might have started it when you were like six or so, or four. A lot of us.

A lot of our four year olds want to be big with emotions, and you'll tolerate it in a two year old, but when you get to be four, you won't. So for a lot of us, four, five, when we go to school, is when we start learning to clamp ourselves down. And so I might find that that pattern of tension started for you, you know, like four and a half feet away. So you're go back to the origin point in your memory bank and start working with that pattern of tension in there.

I'll be able to find it, I'll feel the resistance, I'll feel how it connects to that pattern in your neck now. So a lot of it is like, where is the origin point? Another example that comes to mind, somebody who also whenever he was under a lot of pressure, his neck would go out pretty badly and he'd have to go to the chiropractor to get it readjusted. And so what I discovered going through his field was that he had had a sledding accident when he was three.

Eileen McKusick (13:42.003)

where he went under a car and he clipped his chin on the bumper and kind of like snapped his head. And so because he had that injury at a very formative age in his magnetic field, it would pull his neck out. Magnetic fields guide and inform electric currents. Your bones are electric. And so if you have big stuck energies in your field, in your history, from trauma, from

emotional upset, it's going to inform the way electricity is flowing around your body. And a lot of times pain is a consequence of too much current through the wire. So when we adjust the magnetic field with our tuning forks that have become magnetic in the bioplasma, the magnetic fluid of your field, a vibrating tuning fork becomes like a magnet in that plasma environment. Then we're shifting the way electricity is running through the body.

So you can very often get people out of pain pretty quickly just by doing a magnetic field adjustment. then whatever electricity was in a hot spot or kind of like a traffic jam will disperse and kind of go back into where it belongs. So it's a very different model when it comes to looking at the nature of the body and then treating it.

Scott Britton (15:06.983)

One question that's coming up for me is, you know, in a lot of the healing modalities that I've worked with, it's the process of witnessing and kind of opening and allowing that essentially allows the energy to move and to be, and healing to occur. Is that also required in the world of tuning forks? Like, do I need to re-experience the unfelt feelings or memory or can it

be much simpler than that.

Eileen McKusick (15:39.751)

say both. It depends on the nature of whatever's going on. Some things will just adjust very easily without having any need to witness a story. But if I'm working with something in somebody's field and I'm really stuck around age 10 in the sacral region and it's not moving, you know, I'm trying to get an adjustment but it won't adjust, then I'll refer to my map and I'll say something like

Okay, according to the bio-filled anatomy map, this relates to feelings of guilt and shame around age 10. And the person will look at me and say, okay, I've never told anyone this, but da-da-da-da-da. They'll tell me some shameful story. And in the process of that confession being good for the soul, that energy that has been stuck or frozen has now been witnessed, right? And it's just my job to be a witness. I'm not a therapist or a counselor.

I'm just a witness, sir. And I just observe that with them. And once it comes to light, then it's ready, willing and able to move. And then they get off the table and they say, my God, all my low back or my hip pain is gone. And they were holding tension around that traumatic input that now that it has been witnessed can relax, right? And so if something wants or needs that witnessing, it'll

it will not respond to just the fork. It will hang tight until it is seen. And I think, yeah, that is a really big part of healing, is bringing these shameful, dark, forgotten, repressed places to light so that they can return to circulation. Because they sequester energy and the more sequestered areas that we have of undigested emotions of

unfelt experiences, the more our overall voltage and vitality is going to go down because we're just broken into all of these different bits that are not integrated. And it's sort of like soul retrieval in a way. Remember finding little soul sparks that have been frozen in the memory banks and just combing them back into circulation so that then people feel like more of themselves is available.

Eileen McKusick (18:03.691)

And it will often lead to clutter busting, to project finishing, to boundary aligning, and things like that, things that require energy that maybe you didn't have, but now you do.

Scott Britton (18:16.471)

Makes total sense and it's so aligned with my experience. You know, I remember I was living in Manhattan drinking a big ass cold brew every day, like needing a lot of sleep. And as I've gone on my own transformational journey, that all that caffeine and honestly, to some extent, just the amount of sleep is just no longer required. And in fact, there's just so much more sensitivity to all of that.

And I think it was because I was just carrying this massive backlog of subconscious junk that was just siphoning my life force. And I had no idea.

Eileen McKusick (18:55.699)

Yeah, that's a great way to put it, right? When we talk about emotional baggage, it really is a thing and it really does have mass. I mean, there really is a weight to that sort of thing. Energy that's frozen develops a heaviness. Energy that's flowing is a lot lighter, but when things are frozen and stuck, there's a weight there. And it is a kind of baggage. And the beautiful thing is that we can find precisely where it is, what it's related to, what its origin was, and just help it to...

get back in motion. And it doesn't have to really be that hard.

Scott Britton (19:29.538)

Now I want to, I want to talk about how the tuning fork comes in and how that provides some pers- some level of precision. because I, you know, with a lot of these healing mode modalities, it's like, all right, like, let's just try some, let's just do a lot of breathing and some shit's going to come up, you know, and, and, or, or different things like that. It's kind of a mixed bag of what are you going to get? And, yeah, the tuning fork is something I'm interested to learn kind of what the

role of that is and what it enables.

Eileen McKusick (20:02.975)

The body is giving off vibes, right? And we all know that because we've every single one of us has gotten a good vibe off somebody has gotten a bad vibe off somebody, right? So we already know that the body gives off vibes. But those particular signals are very high frequency and they're very low amplitudes. We can't necessarily hear them. You know, you can sense them. But the tuning fork, the kind that I use aluminum alloy

produce a lot of overtones and undertones. Technically, they produce like an infinite number of overtones, right? It goes way, way up into the beyond the hearing range. And so those very high overtones intersect with the waves coming off the body, right? And you think about any two wave patterns coming together and in that intersection, there's information.

And so that information precipitates down through the octaves into the hearing range. So it actually allows me to hear what is going on in the body and what is going on, what the information is that's contained in these memories. And it's a very specific language, like this sound means that, this sound means that, and all tuners over time learn this language.

There's some very basic ones that are easy to identify. So one is alarm. The tone goes really sharp. It gets like this, kind of quality to it. And that's often present in memories like I was suddenly T-boned in a car accident. And when your body goes into alarm, we all know that feeling, it makes a very specific tone in your memory bank. Fear has a pulsing quality.

And we all know that when we get really afraid that pulsing makes us shake because it's that waveform movement through our body. And you can hear it in the tone. You can hear that pulsing quality in the tone. Fear, anxiety, and even excitement are all like in the same tonal family where they all have this in the overtone. Depression is you hear it in the undertones. It develops a kind of...

Eileen McKusick (22:21.565)

I can tell when somebody is depressed or was depressed or exhausted at different time periods because we get that strong undertone. Sadness has many different iterations. Everything from mild sadness to deep wailing or keening, like intense grief, melancholy, betrayal. They all make very specific sounds. And what's cool is actually that animals and even plants

speak the same vibrational language that humans do. So dogs don't just smell your fear. They feel that t-t-t-t in you, and they know what it is because fear is the same thing for them. And even I had the opportunity to work with someone who was doing research on plants, hooking them up to polygraph machines. so I got to be in a lab with these plants and polygraph machine.

Scott Britton (23:06.307)

Mmm.

Eileen McKusick (23:21.291)

And I was working on the first plant was a medicinal plant from the Amazon. I got all kinds of information from that one. But when I went to work on the second one, which was just a little bamboo thing, it was afraid. I was like, my God, this plant is afraid. And the researcher said, Eileen, I had a psychic who works for the Colorado police department here just a few days ago. And she also said that that plant was afraid.

I was like, yeah, you're poking it with these probes and all this stuff. It's like, what's going on? Whereas the medicinal plant was more cool with the science experiment. It was just maybe more conscious. So that really showed me. I'm like, wow, this pure language of vibration that the tuning forks make audible is a universal language that is the same. Everything in this realm understands vibration.

Scott Britton (24:16.47)

Wow, it's so amazing because it really does level the playing field, right? Like it does provide that universality. And I just what came to mind for me is the stories of like, yogis being able to walk amongst cobras, and nothing happening to them because the snakes essentially could tell that that person was in a calm, relaxed state.

Eileen McKusick (24:39.517)

Yeah, absolutely. And calm and relaxed is the same for them as it is for the ocean.

Scott Britton (24:46.498)

So talk to me about where do things like things that happened before birth, maybe like past lives, things like that. Are those in our field and are those a part of your map? Is that something we understand yet?

Eileen McKusick (25:04.083)

Well, you know, have to understand that I'm a scientist and that I only really like working with things that I can cross check and verify. And we can't cross check and verify for the most part anything that may or may not have happened to you in a past life. Right. So there have been times when I have been working within the bubble and all of a sudden my fork feels as if it's being pushed out, pushed away.

And when this has happened in treatment rooms that were big enough for me to go follow where I was being pushed to, the very first time that ever happened, I was working with a woman and I ended up maybe six feet outside of her field and I'm listening into what's here and I said to her, wow, I was like, this sounds like you're being tortured. And she said to me, yes, I had a past life where I was imprisoned and tortured in the Tower of London. And I was like,

You know that? Some kind of regression that she had done had illuminated that potential for her. So it already existed in her mind. So that's what I found in the few occasions where I was pushed out into something that may have been a past life, and I described the sensation, the person, it already existed in their inner landscape as a thing. I never was pushed out to something

and described it to somebody and they said, I don't know what the heck you're talking about. That just like never happened. So is what's out there our past lives? Is it our ancestors' lives? Or is it just information in the collective ether, the Akasha? This is where we have to sort of bring in additional states of matter in order to create a cosmology where this sort of thing makes sense.

And our current cosmology has removed the ether, the ground state, the clear ocean of light that all waves arise and move through, the essential medium of creation itself. And that is the same thing that we call the Akasha or the Akashic record, which holds the information of every single keystroke that has ever been made in the entire history of the universe is recorded in the Akasha. Everything that is, was,

Eileen McKusick (27:29.659)

and will ever be is present in right here. Right here. It's all right there, right? Because it's holographic and it's... And so when we go out the boundaries of what is known, this was me when I came into the world and this has been my life. And if I get stuck out here, I can ask you, did you have a traumatic birth? And you can say, I don't know, let me call my mom. So I can cross check and verify if your mom is still alive.

the things that we encounter here. But as far as what is out there and exactly what the source of it is, remains kind of an unknown.

Scott Britton (28:09.898)

I appreciate that perspective and it's a really, I mean, this is a really fascinating to think about thing to think about. I've heard you talk about how the Akashic record, it's not, it's not some far away realm that we have to work with a channeler to access. Maybe we do, but fundamentally it's inside of us because everything is holographic. And, and for people that are less familiar with that concept, it's, you know,

everything contains the whole and the whole contains everything right I think that's

Eileen McKusick (28:40.745)

That's all the ocean in a drop, right?

Scott Britton (28:44.712)

Right, so, I mean, what are the implications of that? Like, what do we do with that if the Akashic records are inside of us?

Eileen McKusick (28:55.391)

That's a really good question. mean, one thing that I do, now I'm not trained as an herbalist. I'm really not trained in anything other than biofilting and I'm completely self-taught in that. But because I've done so much work to get the noise out of my own signal, all of the traumas, and I had a lot of trauma and a very difficult life for a long time. There was a lot to heal and to excavate and a lot of layers to go through, a lot of tangles in the field to comb out.

But what that's done is it's made me exceptionally quiet inside and it's also made me very connected to the now, to the unified field. And so recently I started to develop pain in my right hip and that is in the biofield anatomy map, overdoing, overworking, overgo, overthink, like very much the disease of our culture. And it came on downstream of...

of a particularly productive period where I was getting all of this inspiration and doing a million things, sort of burning the candle at both ends in a way that I don't so much anymore now that I've gotten older. I used to live my life like that. I'm sure. Yes. And so I know that bright tuning is going to help, but I also felt like I had depleted myself that I

Scott Britton (30:09.992)

Know what that's like.

Eileen McKusick (30:21.907)

sort of depleted my system. And so I asked, I just asked the ether, what do I need? And drops in immediately, horsetail, horsetail, horsetail herb. And so I go and I look it up and sure enough, it is.

Scott Britton (30:37.31)

So this isn't something that you like regularly take or had a high level of familiarity with. Cool.

Eileen McKusick (30:42.673)

No, no, I don't take herbs or supplements with any kind of regularity. But I am very good at simply asking the universe what is indicated here, what would be helpful. A friend of mine has shingles. And so I asked what would be helpful for that. I don't know in my conscious mind what's helpful. And I got witch hazel. And so I searched witch hazel and sure enough, it's a great treatment for shingles and can take the itch out.

And so I was like, you have any witch hazel? And she's like, yeah, I already figured that out. So the answers really to everything are within. And I think in our culture, we've been so taught to cede to authorities and about anything, right? Especially when it comes to our health and our wellbeing. Like, well, I'm go to my doctor and my doctor put me on this. Like whenever I hear people say that, I'm like.

your doctor put you on this. like, your own body, your own intelligence knows what you need. You're not deficient in some pharma product. That's not what's going on. You've got a mental, emotional, energetic imbalance. And I find that the best allies to support us really are plants because nature knows what we need. I think if you've got something wrong with you, just go out and look around your yard.

what's growing in the disturbed soil. Nature is going to give you what you need to help you be in balance. Nature, and even the air that we breathe, or any tree you could go stand next to, because it's tapped in to the harmony and the health that is inherent in the fundamental signal. It's just that we all have been corrupted. Our signals have been corrupted, and we're so far out of tune and so taught to not...

reference our own inner authority, our own inner teacher. And so so much of my work, especially with my students, is getting people to learn to hear, to know, to trust their own inner teacher, their own inner knowing. Because it's there.

Scott Britton (32:51.496)

Hmm. Yeah, I mean, I think what's what I'm really interested in is we're moving into this world of AI where every answer is at our fingertips and everyone's got this, you know, the most, the highest level of intellect available to them on their phone at all times. You know, that inner guide, that inner wisdom, being able to tap into that, being able to tap into the Akashic records, that seems like to me where a lot of

a lot of emphasis and support will be provided for people if they choose to focus their moving forward.

Eileen McKusick (33:27.987)

Yes, I think that we're sort of in this interesting, really interesting place, aren't we, in time with the way that AI is developing. I've certainly been making use of it. I come from sort of a community of people who tend to be more like, it's of the devil, don't use AI, we're surrendering our power. And I'm like, this is a formative time. And I want to participate with it to help inform it. And so...

Scott Britton (33:33.447)

Totally.
