When the Brain Tuners are simultaneously sounded - one in the left ear and the other in the right ear - the two hemispheres of the brain function together to integrate the two sounds, creating a third, different tone called a binaural beat. When the Fundamental Brain Tuner tuning fork is sounded with a Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta or Gamma tuning fork the difference between the two tuning forks creates a binaural beat which is heard as a pulsation. The binaural beat gently signals the brain to shift into a different state of consciousness.
Brain Tuners with Gamma are part of a training kit that includes an online course on their use as well as additional techniques and tools. Explore the Brain/Body Connection Training Kit.
When we go through a 24-hour cycle, we shift into different states of consciousness determined by our life requirements. One can visualize a car that shifts into different gears as necessary to meet the requirements of the road, i.e. a low gear for pick up and climbing hills, a medium gear for slow driving, and a high gear for highway cruising. In a similar way, living our life requires shifting into "different gears" for different situations.
The following table will help you understand what state of consciousness you're in as well as the state you would ideally like to shift into.
State & Hz Range |

Description |
Ideally For |
GAMMA 31+ Hz |
|
Gamma state is associated with feelings of blessings, increased memory recall and high levels of cognitive function. |
-Increase Memory Recall |
BETA 14-30 Hz |
|
Beta state is associated with peak concentration, heightened alertness, hand eye coordination and visual acuity. |
-Peak-concentration |
ALPHA 9-13 Hz |
|
Alpha state is a place of deep relaxation, but not quite meditation. In Alpha, we begin to access the wealth of creativity that lies just below our conscious awareness - it is the gateway, the entry point that leads into deeper states of consciousness. |
-Relaxation |
THETA 4-8 Hz |
|
Theta is known as the twilight state which we normally only experience fleetingly as we rise up out of the depths of delta upon waking, or drifting off to sleep. In Theta, we are in a waking dream, vivid imagery flashes before the mind's eye and we are receptive to information beyond our normal conscious awareness. Theta has also been identified as the gateway to learning an memory. |
-Waking-dream |
DELTA Below 4 Hz |
Delta is associated with deep sleep and long trains of thoughts about nothingness or energy without form. During delta we plug into our source, the Universal Energy Field, and use the energy to revitalize our mind and body. |
-Detached Awareness |

Methods to Sound the Tuners
One method for sounding the Brain Tuners is called "the knee tap":
Another Method is to use another object on which to tap the forks such as the sole of a tennis shoe, a hard rubber ball, or similar surface. For the 2 forks to sound independently, it is best not to tap them together.
Shifting your State of Consciousness
Once you have mastered the sounding method of choice, then tune into your current state of consciousness. Follow these steps:
