Discover your ‘electric body’ and biofield, and how sound can harmonize your electromagnetic energy to address physical and emotional imbalances in the body…
Experience a whole-body ‘tuning’ conducted with a tuning fork, which can slow down your brain waves and shift every cell in your body from dis-ease to ease.
This Personal Self-Tuning training is not only effective and relevant to address the natural flow of the body it is also an excellent self-empowerment tool. When we realize we have control of our vibrational health new doors open up to maintenance and prevention as opposed to intervention and radical choices of treatments to attempt to regain our health. As a population many of us have lost this proactive approach to our health. However we would desire a more calm, well planned health-oriented lifestyle using ancestral methods and one of them were frequencies to keep our vibrational health at an optimum. This class is a beginning to regain the knowledge and ritual to taking care of yourself because in the end our health is our responsibility.
Using the tuning forks and tools provided in this kit you are relying on the power of ancient frequencies to self-govern your overall health that resonates with the body. This can in turn affect the mind, body and your emotional state to give you a higher quality of life. When you place any one of these forks close to your ears you are receiving hidden messages from a higher realm. By listening and feeling these sounds daily you can experience less stress, better circulation, better focus, greater confidence, happier disposition, greater love and respect for you and the people around you. Your body will respond to your new energy and naturally become healthier as the body is a self-healing machine if we let it.
This Class will be the first Vibrational Healing class at Rainbow Minerals using Tuning Forks to teach you how to enhance your health each day. There is limited seating so book this class if you resonate to frequency within your own body.
This training class requires the Personal Self-Tuning Starter kit:
(which is included in the price and will be provided on the day of the class for yours to keep)

We’ll begin with a wrapped loop bracelet paired with matching earrings, focusing on precision, consistency, and clean finishing techniques that elevate your craftsmanship.
Next, you’ll dive into wire weaving, learning how to create texture and structure as you design a custom bracelet. In this project, you’ll also fabricate all of your own closures and clasps, giving you greater creative control and a deeper understanding of functional design.
For the final project, you’ll bring all your new skills together using a herringbone technique to create a beautifully coordinated necklace and matching earrings. This piece will emphasize flow, balance, and advanced construction methods.
All supplies are included, so you can focus fully on learning and creating. You’re also encouraged to bring any round beads you’d like to incorporate into your designs to make each piece uniquely your own.
