The School of Cymatics has officially opened it’s doors with it’s first virtual classroom lesson “Cymatics 101″ going live today. The school already has 67 members and the doors are currently still open for free admission.

“Cymatics 101, Part I” is the first in a series of new “5 minute classes” that give students an easy way to learn about cymatics one lesson at a time. Each lesson includes a cymatics science fact, a cymatics art demo, featured correspondence from the “cymatics mailbag” and a quote from cymatics history. There will be more virtual classroom lessons as the video series is recorded, and you can be first to be notified of new video lessons in the series by enrolling at the School of Cymatics.

Inside the School of Cymatics you can watch cymatics video lessons, see what cymatics projects other students of cymatics are working on, view new cymatics images and beautiful cymatics photos, see cymatics videos by our students, and network with other “cymatic fanatics” around the world.

You can also see all the best cymatics YouTube videos all in one place streaming live at the School of Cymatics, by clicking on the “cymatics videos” tab once you are there.

If you have content that you would like to see included in the School of Cymatics curriculum, please first become a member of the Journal of Cymatics (enter your name and email in the upper right hand corner of this site), then leave a comment below, or write to me at the School of Cymatics.

Sound healing is closely tied to cymatics, and in fact I met several M.D. practitioners of sound healing at the Cymatics Conference in Atlanta.

Sound healing practitioners use cymatics, not necessarily in the sense that they are making sound visible (as with cymatics and art), but in that they apply sound to matter in order to shape and change it. For example a sound healing practitioner might use sound applied to the human body, and in recent years there has been an emphasis on scientifically record and report on the results achieved using cymatics for sound healing.

These sound healing practitioners range from doctors to chiropractors to yoga teachers, who state that using cymatics for sound healing often generates results that no other therapy could achieve. Some use highly researched frequencies stored and generated on a machine with specific frequencies recommended for specific diagnoses; others use their own voice and a more intuitive approach to sound healing.

If you are interested in learning more about cymatics and sound healing, here are three good places to start. I met all three of the following practitioners in person at the Cymatics Conference in 2008 and they are great resources for sound healing information:

John Beaulieu is the author of “Music and Sound in the Healing Arts” and uses tuning forks among other techniques for sound healing. Dr. Beaulieu also has a “BioSonics sound school” where you can learn about sound healing yourself. Watch my video interview with Dr. Beaulieu here.

Dr. June Leslie Wieder, Doctor of Chiropractic and author of “Sound of the Spine,” focuses on the “resonance of the spine” and applying specific vibrational frequencies directly to the vertebrae. Watch my video interview with Dr. Wieder here.

Mandara Cromwell is President of Cymatherapy® International, and Director of the Board of the International Sound Therapy Association (ISTA), and director of the International Conference on Cymatics. Her focus is the use of a machine called the Cyma®1000, which generates specific sound frequencies. You can learn more about Mandara Cromwell’s work here.

This is a clip that John Stuart Reid just sent me of a cymatics demonstration at the International Sound Healing Conference. Watch it and you will see the cymatics form of throat singing (overtone singing), a dove, a coyote, and a cello, as well as others.

In the video John is doing the speaking, and Erik Larson can be seen standing to his left. John and Erik are co-creators of the world’s first CymaScope, which you can also see in front of the film screen.

You may remember from previous posts that John Stuart Reid is working to create a “dolphin alphabet” using images from cymatics. He has also informed me that he has recently completed an image of the “song of the sun” which was recorded by the SOHO spacecraft, then transferred to the CymaScope to create the image. I will be featuring this image soon so keep your eye out!

P.S. You can build your own DIY cymatics device to see sounds similar to the footage you see here in about 30 minutes. Download free instructions here.

Here are the Top 10 Cymatics YouTube Videos, where you can see the most amazing cymatics videos online right now. This is a current list of the most popular and visually interesting cymatics videos on YouTube; I have sorted out the videos that actually show and inform about cymatics, as opposed to videos that are mostly about sacred geometry, crop circles or aliens. I will be updating this list periodically in the future, as more cymatics videos are added to YouTube. Enjoy! –Jodina

There are new videos up at the School of Cymatics!

Check them out, they are BEAUTIFUL !

I just finished my new instructions on how to make your own Cymatic Sounder!

Otherwise known as a tonascope, a Cymatic Sounder lets you create cymatic images with your voice.

I designed my own version that’s quick and easy to build and just takes a couple items from your local hardware store and florist’s (or grocery store).

You can get a complete copy of my instructions for free here today as a member of Cymatica!

Enjoy…

Watch this fascinating and well-done video to find out about what is believed to be cymatics “music frozen in stone” in a chapel in Scotland.

There are what appears to be cymatics patterns carved into stone cubes throughout this chapel, and Stuart Mitchell has spent years studying them.

He used cymatics – a plate on an oscillator from what I can tell, similar to the apparatus Hans Jenny used – to re-create the patterns, and see what tones matched to each design.

Then he had musicians recreate the music carved in the stone and bring it back to life after centuries of silence…but it doesn’t stop there. There is a sculpture of an angel at one end of the chapel that gave some interesting clues along the way. Play it to find out what I mean.

This video is particularly interesting to watch because it alternates from pictures of the stone cubes to patterns being created with cymatics, so you can instantly compare.

Is this cymatics-generated “music frozen in stone” meant to be discovered and sung hundreds of years in the future? Or just a (very striking and strange) “coincidence?”

What do you think?

Dr. June Weider is a self-described ‘bone toner’ I met at the Cymatics Conference in Atlanta this year.

Here she talks about her fascinating work ‘toning’ the bones of the human spine with sound, which you can read about in more detail in her book, Song of the Spine.

She talks about the frequencies of our spine, and how she has learned to bring them back into ‘tune’ with their original frequencies when they become what can be called ‘out of tune.’

She was kind enough to give me a longer interview about her work, how exactly it works and how she learned to do it, so if you you are intrigued by what she says in this video, keep your eyes open and I will be making that interview available soon…

This is my first experiment with playing a cymatics plate with black powder on white.

The plate is steel, the surface is white enamel and I am sprinkling powdered graphite on the surface before playing it.

Notice how the graphite moves – it looks pretty magical, since you can’t see the grains moving like salt or sand does, it reminds me of black clouds or the way silt moves under water.

I am pretty happy with how this turned out, now the trick is going to be preserving the surface…

In this video I talk about what a cymatics tonascope is (there seems to be some confusion about this out there, for example a metal plate and oscillator is not a ‘tonascope’) – and how you you can make one yourself.

A cymatics tonascope is used to make the human voice visible, and you can make one to experiment with and show your friends and family a live cymatics demonstration in under an hour. It should cost less than $20 altogether.

I made a cymatics tonascope just like the one I describe here for my cymatics art experiments, as well as a half-scale model for a 4 year old boy who loved it.

Children can easily play cymatics tonascopes and it is an excellent way for them to learn about sound waves and cymatics. Everyone’s voice will look different, and each voice will create many different patterns depending on how you “sing” into it.

One note: you don’t have to know how to sing to play a cymatics tonascope! If you can say “aaaa” “oooo” and “eeee” you will get some beautiful patterns!
