The tuning fork was invented in 1711 by British musician John Shore, Sergeant Trumpeter and Lutenist to the court. The Human body consists of millions of particles which spin and vibrate. The whole human system is therefore made of vibrations. Just as an instruments, the human body can be out of tune. The tuning fork can be used to bring the physical body back in tune. Tuning fork therapy is a wide spread sound healing practice. A purposefully tuned fork is placed onto different spots of the body to balance the physical, emotional or energetic body.
