Cymatics Around Us: Is Your House “Sound?”

snowflakes on plastic (enlarged photo)

Ever wonder why we (or, at least a whole lot of us) like being around wood, glass and stone better than plastic?

Take a look at the photo above, of snowflakes magnified on the plastic lid of a garbage can. Notice the geometrically “sound” form of the snowflakes, vs. the globular, chaotic structure of the blue plastic underneath.

In the last few months I have been looking around my home and gradually weeding out all the plastics, and replacing them with wood, glass or metal objects as much as possible.

Why?

Because I would rather live in a “cymatic household” than a chaotic one (breakfast time aside).

Even aside from the environmental impact of non-biodegradable plastics on the environment, I would rather be surrounded by geometrically sound, wave-conducting objects that I “resonate” with, than chaotic globs that are no longer able to conduct vibration because they have had the geometry crushed out of them (otherwise known as plastic).

One of the things that cymatics makes us aware of is the geometry of sound and other inaudible waves, visible on a 1 to 1 scale. However, if we look at objects surrounding us under a microscope (as in Masaru Emoto’s work) we can see that most natural things at their material base are geometric in structure.

Are we on some level aware of the vibration, or wave conduction, in materials around us all the time, not only when we see cymatics demonstrated visually?

If so, I would rather be sitting at a wooden kitchen table than a plastic one. I would rather use a glass container for storage than a plastic one. I would rather be surrounded by cymatically sound objects than cymatically dead objects.

What about you?
