General
Sidereal time is the system that astronomers use to find and study stars, planets and other objects that make up the universe. Just like 'earth-time', sidereal time can be divided into sidereal days and years. In fact, one sidereal day takes the same amount of time as it takes the earth to rotate around its axis and, according to calculations done by Hans Cousto, this movement lines up with the Cosmic Octave range - or more specifically the 194.71Hz frequency. The therapeutic powers of this frequency can help to restore the mind-body balance, which is why Meinl have blessed the TTF-E-SI Sidereal Day therapy fork with it. Made using premium nickel-plated steel and a cork handle, this planetary meditation tool is longer and heavier than standard tuning forks and therefore resonates much longer.
