Something inside me rang like a bell.
In late 2019, I came across a few podcasts featuring Eileen Day McKusick. I had never before, and have never since, felt so absolutely sure that a podcast had just given me a life-changing new direction to pursue.
At the time, I was trying to recover from a serious left shoulder injury. For nearly a year, I had lived with pain and limited mobility. I could not raise my arm above shoulder height. I attributed it to rock climbing, which I had been doing regularly for several years. I would take a week off, then two weeks, then a month, and try different ways to rest and recover. Nothing seemed to change.
After hearing Eileen, I bought her Sonic Slider tuning fork and began using it on my shoulder. I noticed less pain on the first day. In less than a week, my mobility returned. The injury never came back.
It took more time, and a deeper reading of Tuning the Human Biofield, for me to understand that experience in a different way. Through Eileen's Biofield Anatomy, I came to see a connection between the shoulder and an emotional pattern I had been living out.
What followed was a difficult period in which my first wife and I separated. Looking back, I recognized my own part in the unhealthy dynamics between us. I had a subconscious need to make a partner the bad guy, while seeing myself as the selfless person who cared for and supported them without appreciation. That narrative gave me someone to blame for why I was not growing, and someone against whom I could feel like the good guy.
The left shoulder's associations in the Biofield Anatomy closely matched that pattern. I eventually came to understand my recovery as more than a change in my shoulder: it was also an invitation to let go of a victim narrative. Recognizing that story, and my attachment to it, helped me take responsibility for moving beyond it.
I was so amazed by the transformation in my own life that I wanted to bring this work to others. I interviewed Eileen on InnerVerse, studied the Biofield Anatomy, and began practicing with friends and later with podcast listeners remotely. I also brought previous experience with intuitive energy work to the process.
By 2022, my practice had grown from experimental self-training into a substantial part of my livelihood. Since then, I have both worked on certified Biofield Tuning practitioners and received sessions from them. Those exchanges have helped me compare and refine my approach. My work also draws on other modalities I have explored through years of study and conversations with InnerVerse guests.
I encourage people interested in becoming practitioners to pursue official training. That was not my own path. I learned through study, practice, personal experience, and ongoing exchange with others, and I continue to approach this work as a full-time learner.
