Could a 7 year old have known...


Could a seven year old, decades ago have known that sound was to be the medicine of the future when she said, "I am meant to tune up the world."  So motivated by this quest of her younger days, as an adult, she has spent decades experimenting with tuning forks and the effects they had on a myriad of sensibilities. In 1983, she packaged her experiences and findings into an attunement practice named, APOGEE Acu-Tone™. She was 'discovered' and invited to present her findings and her work at the 1990 International Congress of the Himalayan Institute of Yoga Science. Her pioneering work in sound technology, with the use of calibrated tuning forks, received the attention of the Edgar Casey Foundation/ A.R.E., Association for Research and Enlightenment. She was requested to be a major presenter at a series of  workshops offered by the Heartland Region in 1996.  The effectiveness of her work was recognized,  and so for a year following she administered APOGEE Acu-Tone™ sessions at the A.R.E. of New York Edgar Cayce Center. Integrating the tenets of neuroscience, consciousness and well being, she has put forth a dynamic, exceedingly beneficial, and documented paradigm of sound application that has resulted in pain relief, stress reduction, energy balancing, deep relaxation, facial vibrancy, expanded peripheral vision, improved learning, and a consistently reported feeling of well being for scores and scores of children and adults.

APOGEE Acu-Tone™ - Solitons and Microtubules 
to heal and restore our latent health and corresponding state of presence 

Carl Florin C.Nth

Health,  Impressions and Conscious Experience:

What immediately comes to mind when we hear the word impressions? It is likely to be thought of as a more archaic way of expressing perception. Though today this use of the word appears to have fallen out in favor. When describing one’s role in an active sense we employ it more often in this way, “the speaker’s presentation made a big impression upon me." The word nonetheless retains a more descriptive way of describing perception. Upon closer examination we see the two more implicit meanings: a physical change on the one hand, and a change in  the focus or content of our awareness. At the present time we reserve the word perception for stimuli, which now more readily expresses these qualities.

A moments notice shows how an impression is related to physical imprint or change of structure. By further reflection we can see that a pattern or code in energy was delivered. In any case we know that in the common use of impression something noteworthy or memorable is invariably preceded and comprised of stimuli. Chladini Plates show this effect vividly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YedgubRZva8 A metal plate with fine sand resting on it will  form a distinct geometrical  pattern corresponding to the frequency of sound impinging upon it. We can see directly the core pattern or essence of this vibration immediately revealed. For some this may conjure up notions of platonic forms, eternal static blueprints for every dynamic manifestation of a given eternal pattern. The most amorphous energy invisible to the eye suddenly reveals its essence. We might wonder how does this visible pattern reveal the  sound which has so effected us?

In a previous installment of APOGEE Learning Blog, (APOGEE Learning: Finding Spirit in the Fabric of Space and Time - Microtubules and APOGEE Acu-Tone™ -
http://apogeelearning.blogspot.com/2012/04/finding-spirit-in-fabric-of-space-and.html) we explored how the latest science explains the transformation experienced with APOGEE Acu-Tone™. In that summary we learned that Microtubules, components of the cytoskeleton,  are ideally suited for resonating sound.  As if perfectly manufactured tuning forks of the cell, a new expansive way to explain a mode of reception on the micro-level of life has opened up. We can begin to see  how physiological processes of the cell, like the pattern in the sand, are in some sense also being transformed by the stimuli of experience.

Perhaps the most essential meaning that stands out in the word impression is this notion of Transformation. We say we are moved by music but we seldom realize how sound literally inscribes itself upon our being. How does the sound of outside become the sound of our conscious experience? How does any stimuli at all become the sound guiding the activity of our cells?

Solitons and Microtubules : Micro-Organs of Sound and Electricity:

The Soliton model in neuroscience is a very new model that successfully explains how signals are conducted within neurons.  It explains electrical signals moving across the cell's membrane in the form of particular kinds of sound (or density) pulses known as solitons. The soliton model therefore presents a direct challenge to the widely accepted Hodgkin–Huxley model which declares that signals travel as action potentials: voltage-gated ion channels in the membrane open and allow ions to rush into the cell, leading to the opening of other nearby ion channels in this way propagating the signal in a fundamentally electrical manner.

"It is undeniable that an electrical signal can be observed when an action potential propagates along a neuron. The Soliton model explains this as follows: the traveling soliton locally changes density and thickness of the membrane, and since the membrane contains many charged and polar substances, this will result in an electrical effect, akin to piezoelectricity. A Soliton is a density wave that neither changes shape or velocity as it travels therefore, it loses no energy or information." - membrane biophysics group,  Niels Bohr Institute. http://www.nbi.ku.dk/english/

What this means is once we percieve, stimuli has been transduced into electrical signals free to travel along nerves. Immediately expressed in the form of sound waves the information of the signal now takes upon a new meaning at a critical level of cell operation. As the signal from outside becomes a nerve signal, this signal as we have learned is further transformed into a complex orchestra of sound pulses at the cell level.  It becomes obvious why this mode of transmission has radical import on all cell functions, cell commands and cell behavoir. This is due to the fact that Cytoskeletal elements interact extensively and intimately with cellular membranes. Soliton Sound pulses in the lipid membrane of cells propogate directly into the cytoskeleton body to alter the cells electrical, structural, metabolic state. It determines the informational state of the cell itself, in that such a signaling  has the power to elicit and activate critical information from nuclear DNA used in repair and even ordinarily non- accessible powers of regeneration. The capacity of the cell to maintain itself depends on communication from nuclear DNA using a very minute percent of available material. This suggests a new and direct availability of the potentials for regenerative healing and conscious states alike.

Today, it is possible to design and transmit signal information to the level of cells to  hitherto unimaginable influence upon the body.  For those readers bold enough to grapple with these ideas and really explore these questions will be granted  entry to some of the most important  revelations. Imagine now, what would happen if a way to transmit sound directly into nerves were possible so as to bypass the electrical level of signal information in the body? Further imagine a way to use sound so as to  link nerve and major processing centers in the body by the same signal? Assembling them instantly to form new circuits that before were completely unavailable? Then you will have an approximate understanding of how APOGEE Acu-Tone™ operates on the physiology to heal and restore our latent health and corresponding state of presence.



APOGEE Learning™ is a revolutionary educational service and integrated treatment modality. APOGEE Acu-Tone™ is a decisively visionary somatic attunement method based on sound. Uniquely deciphering and connecting vital signalling processes in the body, APOGEE Acu-Tone™ reaches an unprecedented grasp over higher regulatory functions unlocking regenerative capabilities.  Our consultation was employed to analyze and counsel proper strategy for incorporation of this method.

What is known ~ what is applied ~ Vibration and the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ Paradigm


APOGEE Acu-Tone™
A Sound/Vibration Paradigm

Unveil the hidden taunts... Experience SELF in its primal perfection... 

An evaluation of energetic responses, the determination of frequency and vibration, followed by the application of sound/vibration of calibrated tuning forks upon indicated acupuncture and cranium points... and then the change, the balancing, the opening flow of felt energy, the transformative process... this the APOGEE Acu-Tone™ experience.

Each testimonial statement speaks consistently of the experienced benefits. Amazement is expressed by the changes seen and felt in facial expression and tone, in the newly felt ease of gait, to the relief of stiffness and pain, to a deep feeling of relaxation and calm, to a clearer feeling and more encompassing vision, to a newly perceived perception of self and a deeper appreciation of the internal Universe. 

Sound Creates Form...
Allow yourself to experience the benefits... 
your pleasure awaits...


APOGEE Acu-Tone™ - welcomed results... 
A Revolutionary Energy Balancing Paradigm.


APOGEE Acu-Tone™is indeed  a paradigm, a process with consistently beneficial results. Each time an APOGEE Acu-Tone™ evaluation takes place there is an opportunity to expand and refine one's self awareness. The experience of the 'body' in response to specific line configurations, provides one with the direct experience of the mind-body connection. 

As the evaluator,  it is deeply satisfying to see a new sense of power and confidence emerge from the 'student' as the evaluation takes place. It is the 'body' that reveals the need directly. The feedback from the 'body,' via the use of APOGEE Cognitive Kinesiology™, allows the student (the term student is used for we are ever in the process of learning and development) to become keenly aware of the effect of his/her own experience. With specific tuning fork placement on cranium points, acupuncture points and meridian pathways,  the body receives the vibratory frequencies indicated by the evaluation process. 

Having a charting of responses before the attunement takes place, and having an opportunity, upon conclusion of the attunement, to be provided with a post evaluation, allows the student to compare and contrast the before and after states of being. It is most gratifying to hear the benefits expressed, the changes noted, the appreciation felt, and the sense of renewed possession and faith in self.

Yes, we are indeed responsive to vibration. APOGEE Acu-Tone™ provides a vibratory experience that brings balance, stress reduction, pain relief and a consistently verbalized feeling of well being.


There is much depth to the offerings of APOGEE Acu-Tone™ ... among the many aspects is the 'testing' of what the body needs to maintain balance. Nutrition and the specific nature of one's diet is important to take into consideration all across the age span. We each have different needs at different times. Knowing what these nutritional needs are, from the perspective of the body itself, allows one to gain mastery over self. One must understand symptoms, moods, and health, from the perspective of consciousness and the physical signaling our consciousness brings to each organ and ultimately to our totality of BEING.

'Testing', rather than assumption is the key to resolve. A full inventory of 'symptoms' and 'feelings' defines the first step... awareness is ever key. Before the Acu-Tone™ session begins, one is instructed to be self observant, how one walks, how one stands, how one breathes, what one sees when looking in the mirror.  One takes note of facial expression, lines, visual field, alignment of shoulders, position of head in relationship to neck. All of these observations are put into somatic memory. Upon completion of the Acu-
Tone™ session, the same observations are made. The differences are noted with pleasure!

So when inclined to engage in such an exploration, do know I will be pleased to offer guidance. 

Rose Marie Raccioppi, Founder/Director,  APOGEE Acu-Tone™.



 All inquiries WELCOMED.

Testimonials speak to its welcomed results.


 In Response to APOGEE Acu-Tone™:

Rejuvenating Experience...
"The APOGEE Acu-Tone attunement is a deeply rejuvenating experience followed by an amazing sense of self alignment on both the physical and mental levels. My face immediately looked years younger and I felt astonishingly increased mental clarity. The immaculately clear sense of physiological and cognitive “oneness” which I’ve received from APOGEE Acu-Tone™ has drastically improved all aspects of my life. "(CSF, June, 2012).

Transformative Process...
"I had come to the APOGEE Acu-Tone system knowing nothing of it, having no expectations or ideas about it. Very soon after I began, I already felt something very different than ordinary and yet vaguely familiar. There was a deep feeling of intelligence and trust as if being in a womb where it was safe to continue whatever this process was. The feeling warm and bright, was like a deep nurturing that had been missing for far too long. Something in me finally stopped and, I came into contact with a new process - one that was perhaps going on all along. The further along in the experience the more clear the feeling of coming home became. Towards the end of this experience there was a great sense of relief and even remorse for realizing I had been living so long without this experience of myself. "

"The APOGEE Acu-Tone attunement is preeminently a process of recognition. Even after the attunement something continued to emerge and I realized this was quite literally a RE - Cogntion. A silence emerged where I could appear, where I could see in a new way. With this guidance, I discovered a new way to look in, a way to see that could actually find my alignment. I realize I had been all along this much quieter voice. With gratitude for a truly inspired transformative process, I watch this new intelligence grow into my life... " I Thank You Rose Marie..."  (CAF, June, 2012).

Pain Gone ~ Hard to Believe...
"From my own personal experience, after the adjustment, the pain I had felt before was gone almost instantly. May be hard to believe, the proof is in the pudding." (Matt Fascaldi, July, 2012).

Profound Results...
"My experience from one Acu-Tone session was incredible! I had no expectations going in but came out with profound results. I felt like I was "refitted" to my body, I was more comfortable in my own skin than ever before. My voice felt clearer, stronger, I could communicate what I was thinking and feeling so much easier, and I even felt taller. I recommend this to everyone I know, it's an incredible way to "tune yourself up" and get back into harmony with your body." (Mike Scully, July, 2012).

Empowerment and Contentedness...
"Rose Marie, thank you for opening up the deepest resonance I've ever felt.  Acu-Tone's process is both energizing and relaxing, helping me into a state of empowerment and contentedness.  The best part is your unique system of assessing what stresses I'm facing, and determining without words what in my body needs attunement.  Thank you so much for your work with me." (Mike Maturo, July 2012).

A Peace and Calm...
"Rose Marie - I wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how things are progressing from our attunement session on May 22, 2012.  As I mentioned before, I felt immediate results, a lightness of body, a peace and calm within while being totally relaxed.  I am happy to say, that I continue to feel relaxed, centered as well as maintaining the essence of peacefulness within. This was a wonderful experience and has made a difference in my well being overall. Thanks for everything!" (Terry Haas, July, 2012).

Peaceful and focused... "When I was told I was being taken for an attunement, I truly did not know what to expect , but I  remained open minded and looked forward to what the session would bring to me. So Glad I did !!!  The Acu-Tone attunement left me with a calm I had not experienced in quite some time. It left me feeling peaceful and focused. Thank you for this extraordinary session !!!  I look forward to my next session, which cannot happen soon enough !!! With much appreciation to Rose Marie Raccioppi !! " (Gina Conte, July, 2012). 

A shared perspective...
“...if we think of our body as a very sensitive fine instrument of music then we can comprehend, symbolically through metaphor, the necessity to proper tuning…every time a musician picks up a fine sensitive instrument it must be re-tuned before it is able to be in harmony with itself, as it has fallen into discord and lax from idleness. so too with a human being, when we awake to create the music of our day, we must respect the fact that we must re-tune our inner resonance with harmony or each note that emanates from our being will be discordant and effectively lose the music of our true potential and all people in our environment will receive is noise.” -sst  July 28, 2012 by Shannan Suzzette.

A Return Into the Womb - A Re-birthing...
"During the session, I could feel my breathing become easier and lighter as my sinus's opened from a bit of congestion. I was able to deeply relax because I felt that I was taken care of. Rose Marie's way is that of Mother. Under the organic cotton soft sheets and upon the mat, It was like I was in the womb again. In a metaphoric way the experience was a return into the womb, into the dark place of rest and protection and especially into the innocence. The vibrations buzzed as I unified with the sounds, clearing away all stress and inviting me to let go and release that which I have been holding on to. After the session, Rose Marie's soothing voice brought me back into the room through cueing of bodily awareness and gentle movement to re-awaken me to the room. It was a mini Re-birthing of sorts. From darkness into light, I awoke bright eyed and anew,  feeling energized and alive, eager to explore the brand new day. I remembered again the innocence that made me an eternal CHILD of the universe. I remembered again the divine PLAY. Hip hip Hooray!"  (Patti Kelly, July, 2012).

To the Root of the Problem...
"My belief in the connection between the body and mind are as one had naturally motivated me to try Acu-Tone attunement.  Acu-Tone attunement is a deeply rejuvenating healing experience that goes to the root of the problem. The benefit of energy through sound and vibration was realized immediately and validated the belief and desire to keep an open mind, as I investigate methods of wellness beyond the world of prescribed medications."  (Karlo Sauer, July, 2012).

Face Actually Looked Younger...
"Recently, I had noticed an unevenness in my shoulders when I looked in the mirror, and I was also stressed from my job. I thought about going to the Chiropractor to get an adjustment.  I decided to have an Acu-Tone session instead.  During the session, I felt very calm and peaceful as I concentrated on my breathing.  Immediately after the session was over when I opened my eyes, I felt a lightness in my body, almost as if I was floating.  I got up and looked in the mirror and saw that my shoulders were now even and that my face actually looked younger and stress free. A feeling of well being and energy was immediately noticed throughout my body. Thank you Rose Marie! I look forward to my next one ~" (KBK, July 2012).

Refreshed and Recharged..."Many many thanks for the wonderful Acu-Tone session. I felt refreshed and recharged afterwards."  (Lillian Firestone, August, 2012).

A Calm Feeling...
"Hi Rose Marie,  Just wanted to send  you a quick note to Thank You again for my session on Saturday, It was a nice change to completely relax  from my Saturday afternoon "norm" of running around doing my errands. Thank you very much. I had such a calm feeling when I left, it was very nice." (Gina Conte, August, 2012).

The Wiggle Is Back...
"The attunement was extremely relaxing. From the feeling of warmth, I could tell that circulation was being stimulated. But most noticeable to me, afterwards, was that my hips and lower back had loosened up. I could tell because my walk changed. I left with a bit of a wiggle!" (PNS, August, 2012).

Pain Was Relieved
"Recently I went running and afterwards my leg bothered me greatly. This discomfort went on for a month until I was treated with APOGEE Acu-Tone. I felt better right after the session, the pain was relieved right away.  Thank you for the session,  I feel like I really benefited." (Matthew Fascaldi, August, 2012).

Back to a Place of Balance
"My session with you brought me back to a sense of balance.  Balance is a word that I used to use all the time without really knowing what it meant or felt like. I physically looked different after and so did my friend that also experienced the system.  I also felt different and more clear.  But, it wasn't like a "WOW" type thing......it felt natural.  Going back to a place of balance just feels natural. 

I would recommend this to anybody and I even offered 4 people the opportunity and told them that I'd pay for it.  What really makes it worth it for me is that it's more tangible than other modalities that I've tried.  Everything is very grounded and easy to see, feel & understand.  It's not a "new age" sort of thing where you acquire some elusive "good vibes."  It feels concrete and the chart helps. It's something that I think everyone should experience and I'm definitely going back!!" (Ivan Petersel, August, 2012).

Floored...
"I have to tell you, I experienced such a great sense of healing when I was with you and you had completed the session, I was floored!" (TS, November, 2012).

Worked Like Botox...
"Today, I visited Rose Marie Raccioppi for a Attunement Therapy Session ... the stress of losing Zinni has me very off balance in so many ways. Now, I am Blessed with balanced Chakra's and connected to the energy of the universe. She also did a Acu-Tone facial that worked like Botox to erase all the stress lines and open up my sinuses !! I feel renewed, refreshed and re-energized to continue my search for Zinni. Rose Marie you are a wise and gifted woman ... many many Blessings to you !! xxoo " (Patti Byman, November, 2012).  

Worth Exploring... 
"Rose Marie has something worth exploring - it's a type of therapy, a way to figure out what your body is physically feeling in reaction to your deep thoughts and beliefs about yourself and the challenges in your life." (Mike Maturo, January, 2013).

Life Changing Experience...
"My friends in Rockland, Westchester, NYC, or anyone willing to travel for a positive life changing experience; if you or anyone you know is dealing with stress, ailment, illness, pain, etc. I highly recommend you give Rose Marie Raccioppi a call  ...it costs you NOTHING for phone consultation. She will advise you on how she can help, and if so will assist you in recapturing your 100% of being so you can be the very best YOU possible....completely natural, no medication....I am NOT getting paid for this just sharing my personal experience! One of the best people I've ever had the pleasure to meet and IMO everyone should visit her at least once. Feel free to reach out to me if you want more info...  "   
Harvey García
(Harvey García, January, 2013).

Wonderful Experience...
"I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful experience, it really woke a part of me up that I thought was to stay asleep forever. " (Yuki Sakakura, February, 2013)



Take back control...
Rose Marie's work is truly a special experience. Her expansive trainings and exceptional intuition guide the individual towards healing from various planes. Working with Rose Marie means confronting and resolving all that is holding you back from being your full, free self rather than a victim to any negative echoes left over from unpleasant life events. This, in turn helps resolve the physical manifestations of those experiences. Her work allows you to take back the control of all you are destined to be. 

(Diana Lagomarsino, April, 2017).

An added word...
There is an art, there is a science, there is its expression… thought, vibration, sound, call to our consciousness, define our experiences, signal our cells, the very systems and organs that hold to life, BE it an idea, a word, an illusion, an impression, a truth, a falsehood, a vision, an aspiration, a knowing. We are to come to understand the matrix of feelings and consciousness in its myriad of expressions, be it of pain or joy,  faith or fear, acceptance or rejection of SELF.

Resonance ~ Vibrancy ~ Renewed Vitality


"The Universe is not punishing you or blessing you. The Universe is responding to the vibrational attitude that you are emitting."
Abraham Hicks
