Cymatics
Cymatics pronounced (sigh-matticks) comes from the Greek word Kyma or great wave. The science of Cymatics as it is known today, comes out of the extensive work of Swiss medical and natural Scientist Dr. Hans Jenny.
Dr. Jenny tried to understand what part sound plays in nature. He conducted detailed experiments over 50 years ago, using single (sonic) frequencies. He discovered some remarkable things about sound and its influential relationship to all physical matter. Sound clearly has a profound effect on organic and inorganic matter as shown by the stills of his work.
Jenny would use devices he invented himself that enabled him to put various substances such as Lycopodium powder (extremely fine particles derived from plant spores), gels, water, metals etc. on to these devices. He and his colleagues would then observe the effects of the sounds upon those substances.
The sounds can be seen not only to produce very elaborate geometric forms but also structures which contain a dynamic aspect in some instances (this is a crucial discovery). Some of the same forms, produced in his laboratory are identical to the simpler organic forms found in nature! The correlation was and remains self-evident.
It should be emphasised that
Neither the resting plate on which the substances were placed nor the substance Itself were the determining media that produced the incredible forms witnessed.
He would prove this by changing the plate on which the substances lay and also change the matter used in each case. He and his technicians would then apply the different sound frequencies, to find that the respective sonic frequencies were creating the figures and that each frequency, higher or lower would respectively give a slightly different form.
These remarkable and varying forms were mainly 2-dimensional. Some of his experiments did produce astonishing figures that would lift the substances partially off the plates into 3-dimensional shapes.
Various scientists who looked at Dr. Jenny’s research and later collaborated with him, went on to ask the obvious question, “What if we could produce more elaborate 3-dimensional forms?” Indeed they wanted to see how sound may relate to living matter, including human tissue.
Researchers such as Sir Dr. Peter Guy Manners continued along this path from the 1960’s, painstakingly Compiling the specific frequency combinations (harmonics) that would eventually create 3-dimensional forms that Would show a relationship to various parts of the human anatomy.
Dr. Manners discovered that there was a very specific number of frequencies required to produce a geometric form that perfectly mimicked simpler structures (the cell). Since the earlier research, scientists have measured these various frequencies within the human body and to a lesser extent some animals too.
The research continued for around 30 years until a means of perfecting the use of these specific sounds for clinical application. this resulted in Dr Manners (and others who worked with him) to discover and mimic the body’s own multiple combinations of healthy frequencies. This is the very essence of the Cymatics therapy. The particular sounds used are not random, rather they are very specific. They neither trick the body nor arbitrarily stimulate it. These precise frequencies are in fact complex harmonic sounds.
This new science of sound is finding many applications and as it does so it inevitably will take On many names. We at the Partnership, give recognition to that visionary scientist Dr. Hans Jenny and abide by the term Cymatics.
Suffice to say, whatever the name adopted; sound, vibration and energy in general will form the greater part of medical science and other key areas of our daily life over the coming years.
