Chance Garton on My Family Thinks I'm Crazy ep. 553
My friend Mark Steeves, known as Mystic Mark, had me back on his show My Family Thinks I'm Crazy to talk about my work as a biofield tuning practitioner. We covered how the energy field holds our history, why desire matters for health, and what the body is trying to tell us.

Core themes
Biofield tuning and the energy field's anatomy
Chance described biofield tuning as a way of translating the messages the body gives, a modality he credited to Eileen Day McKusick. He said the energy field has a mappable anatomy, with similar information found in similar places for everyone, and that it works like the rings of a tree, so that distance from the body marks the age at which energy became stuck. Chance called the method repeatable and testable, and said he believed anyone could learn it. Mark framed the practice as an outgrowth of Chance's podcasting.
Symptoms as messages rather than malfunctions
Chance contrasted what he called the mainstream model of the body as a broken vehicle with his view that symptoms point to deeper patterns in belief that need to change. He said a practitioner helps people notice recurring patterns, and that in the healing arts what you do for someone else is often something you are doing for yourself. Mark agreed that healing yourself changes the reality around you, and added that others nearby may be inspired to begin their own healing journeys.
True will, desire, and The Neverending Story
Chance said he was not a Crowley fan but read the line about doing what thou wilt as an esoteric call to ask who you really are and what you want. He used the boy Bastion in The Neverending Story to illustrate his view that wishing for things that are not your true desire leads to forgetting who you are. Chance suggested that disconnection from real desire shows up in the energy field and in modern life, and said religions taught people to feel shame about it. Mark listened and asked follow-up questions.
Sacral energy, sublimation, and abundance
Chance described the sacral region of the energy field as tied to desire, fulfillment, self-worth, and flow, and said the mystery traditions practiced sublimating sexual energy into creative work. He argued that abundance depended less on positive thinking than on healthy flow of desire, summing it up as desire being the current in the river of abundance. Mark asked what Chance recommended for blockages in this area and wondered about the effect on collective consciousness. Chance presented all of this as his own interpretation from client work and personal experience.
Germ theory, pleomorphism, and practical tools
Chance said he doubted germ theory, and argued that bacteria change form in response to what the body needs, citing pleomorphism and what he called microzyme particles. These were his views, and he named several researchers and guests Mark might look up. He also recommended a weighted tuning fork sold through Eileen Day McKusick's store, which he said could be placed on points of the foot that correspond to organs. Chance finished by describing his AI-assisted music and pointing listeners to his website for free biofield resources.
Quotes
“I want humanity to reclaim the birthright of knowing the language that their body speaks, because I think that's the most world-changing thing that I can imagine, and I want to be a part of bringing that shift into reality.”
“The mainstream model is to treat your body like it's a broken down vehicle. It needs some parts swapped out or repaired. You know, something has gone wrong. The body's gone rogue or it's messed up in some way.”
“Abundance is directly connected to the healthy integration and flow of this desire and fulfillment energy in the sacral chakra. And I say all the time, desire is the current in the river of abundance.”
“You get what you wish for in life, but be careful what you wish for, because the more that you wish for things that are not really what you want, the further away you distance yourself from who you really are.”
“There's a thing that occurs where, especially in the healing arts, that what you do for somebody else, you're either also doing it for or to yourself or you have to have gone through and already integrated that lesson for and through yourself.”
“When you heal yourself, your reality around you heals. And those folks around you have the inspiration and potentially the new opportunity to then embark on their own healing journey.”
“When our body's energy field is not, let's say, stagnant, and it's flowing like a river rather than brewing like a murky puddle, right? It's flowing like a river. Our body is able to address those environmental agents that we're interacting with on a daily basis.”
“What you're doing is not run-of-the-mill AI generating. You are taking it and using it as a tool as what sounds like an actual music producer, because some of the stuff I've heard just listening to a few things here and there, I'm impressed.”
