Promoting Acutonics in Israel at Time of Trauma and War
Irit Lerner, Senior Acutonics Practitioner & Teacher
Over the last year Israel has been at war. It started on October 7th when 1200 civilians, whole families, young children and babies were murdered, raped, mutilated and tortured in the most horrific way. For us, this is an ongoing trauma, not only because it happened on our land, but because Israel is a tiny country and everybody knows someone who went through it, so it's very close to home.
When it started, a wonderful sound healer opened a WhatsApp group for sound healers and that's where I actually realized how many sound healers there are, that I was not
aware of in Israel.
2 days after October 7th – and the Nova music festival, where 365 young people were murdered the first healing space was opened, after which other places across the
country opened, making a space for the 2700 other young people who survived the massacre. a place to be together, share their feelings and start the very long healing process, which will take years.
The one thing that was in common among them all was they didn’t want to speak, but they were willing to lie down and be wrapped in sound healing music. That's how it started. After which came soldiers from the battle fields, police and doctors, nurses and others who found the dead which left them all in deep trauma.
At that point I decided every sound healer should have at least Ohm Unison with them. It happened a month after I tried to get into all sort of healers group to offer my tuning forks, but nobody knew what it was and kept rejecting me. I was heart broken but went into action. With the help of some of you who gave us gifts of tuning forks and chimes, and the decision to sell Ohm unison without profit or give them to healers that couldn’t afford buying them, the moment they arrived I went into action.
I'm happy to say, that a third of them already took my Ohm unison class, (Years ago I built a 6-hour workshop for Ohm Unison – Mars/Veus). By now 80% of the sound healers in Israel have Ohm Unison. I made a point of meeting each and every one of them, either in my house or, I drove all over Israel to give them tools in person and get to know them and them Acutonics and me.
After 21 years that people told me I should change the name Acutonics to something "simpler" and I refused? The name Acutonics is more known than my name, and it pleases me a lot.
Today – I only teach 6-hour workshops, not any course. The reason? We don’t have time. You must understand what it means when a country is in Trauma, compared to a family or a person. It means, that we share the same response, our brains work in the same rhythm, hearing, digesting, learning how to live with – news, stories that keep poring in, growing antisemitism to people who grew up like me on holocaust stories.
Our DNA is traumatized to begin with.
At the moment, and I'm talking about the last year, there is no room for spiritual growth. We are in survival mode and need air, we need a few moments, an hour – now and then, to breath.
Our hearts are broken for good. This time we all understand what it means to live with a broken heart. It's not about growth anymore, it's about living, and we do the best we can to be kind to one another, because only the feeling of love can heal, even for a few moments. And that's where Ohm Unison, Zodiac 3rd and maybe Chiron Ohm at times come in. Hygiea and Sedna are not often used, they are too strong at the moment. I use them in the clinic of course as all other forks but for people to treat themselves they are too complicated at the moment. I can feel it by using Ohm mostly, how people respond.
After I gave the Ohm Unison to the sound healers, I sent them a trauma protocol of 10 acupuncture points to follow, explaining where and what each point does. The results are truly amazing. At the end of sound healing sessions, some in which I took part, everyone asks what was that?! Which brings more people to me asking for Acutonics, because that's the word everybody uses today, rather than tuning forks and my name.
So, I'm in a situation where I treat mostly healers of many modalities, sometimes they study with me, other times the buy Ohm Unison and add them to their tools. I also treat bereaved families of young people who were murdered at the Nova Festival, my daughter works with the young people themselves in Yoga therapy, and we share many sad and many wonderful healing stories.
My position today is the one of a guide, how to live with a broken heart. We specialize in that, since we realize this is the new era, the new reality and the way to cope is to be sensitive to our surroundings, and to do the best that we can with an open and generous heart. We cannot control our governments or institutions.
But we can love, and give love, we can show a different way to look at things, life, nature's way of moving on, blooming against all odds.
