Cymatics: concept and history
Cymatics (from Greek: κῦμα "wave") is the study of sound made visible through vibrating different media. By placing powders, pastes, liquids, etc. on a plate that is then made to vibrate at specific frequencies, one can observe the visible manifestation of otherwise invisible sound and gain insight into the hidden mechanics of the nature of reality and the primacy of vibration.
The term was coined by the Swiss scientist Hans Jenny (1904-1972). He extensively researched these phenomena, following up on the work of earlier experimenters, like Robert Hook and Ernst Chladni, who, as early as 1680, sprayed flour on a metal plate and caused the plate to vibrate by passing a violin bow along its edge. The result was astonishing because they discovered that the flour wouldn't just scatter around randomly but rather it would assemble into orderly geometric shapes, but they found no profound implications in this morphogenetic (morphê "shape" and genesis "creation"; form generating) property of sound.

It was Hans Jenny, with the aid of the available technology of his time, that plugged the vibrating plate to an oscillator (a pure frequency generator), which allowed him a huge degree of precision, and conducted thorough experiments on the effects of sound in matter. His research was extensively documented in video and photography and published in his work "Cymatics: A Study of Wave Phenomena". Through exciting differently shaped metal plates with different materials at different frequencies he observed such a diversity of shapes (both stationary and animated!) that it was impossible to ignore the similarity between the shapes that he saw and the living world of cells, animals, flowers, DNA, weather patterns, etc. In his own words: "One can affect changes almost endlessly in experiments of this kind. There seems to be a risk of losing oneself in the infinite." Below is one of such videos filmed and narrated by Hans Jenny himself.
Sound travels by making the atoms and molecules that are exposed to it collide with each other, thus compressing and expanding the medium through which it passes in a sort of domino effect of atom bumping into its neighboring atom and transmitting the frequency which was originally emitted, successively until the signal fades. The constant pulse imposed by the oscillator causes the metallic plate to physically rise in the areas where the vibration is strongest. The powder, paste or liquid moves away from those areas of strongest resonance and accumulates on the areas that are less resonant and therefore "quieter". In doing so it gives us a negative, a reverse image of the actual shape that the plate acquires when activated by the imposed frequency. Witnessing the processes that bring these forms into being offers us penetrating insight into how an elaborate web of vibrations interacts to create the world we perceive.
Possibly the most recent big hallmark in cymatic exploration is the CymaScope, a device created by acoustic engineer and researcher Jonathan Reid which allows for beautiful visual representations (termed "cymaglyphs") of all sorts of sounds, including musical instruments, audio recordings and the human voice. A drop of water is placed on a Petri dish and illuminated from above. As electronic impulses in the audible range are fed into a small crystal attached to the bottom of the plate, the plate and the water it contains begin to vibrate in response to the specific frequency imposed. The water responds by moving away from the imposing force, only to strike the edge of the dish where it is reflected back, flowing back through itself again toward the source of the impulse. This is similar to what you can observe when ocean waves strike a vertical rock face. But here, because of the confining circumference of the dish, there is nowhere for this energy to dissipate, and due to the extraordinary fluidity of water, within a short period of time, complex and intricate three-dimensional flow patterns are created which suffuse and circulate throughout the entire mass.
Since the water is contained in a dish with a certain radius, when the animating frequency is in direct whole number ratio to that diameter, a phenomena called ‘standing waves’ appears. This simply means that the pulsations passing through the water form crests and troughs that appear static, due to the stable relationship of the frequency of pulsation to the size of the container. Every particle of water is still vibrating, pulsing and flowing, but when viewed from above, the sample appears as a fixed geometric pattern, which Jenny called a harmonic structure, since it is literally a harmonic of the energizing frequency.

As the water is subjected to gradually increasing frequencies, the complexity of the patterns increases with the pitch of the exciting tone. At a critical pitch, the sample dissolves into chaos, only to reconfigure into a higher order of complexity as the tone continues to ascend. This process of chaos and re-integration continues as the frequency ascends, while the periods of chaos become shorter in duration and those of reintegration arise at more frequent intervals. This same process is also present in the harmonic series that are generated by plucking a stringed instrument in the right way, or through overtone singing.
Harmonics, or overtones, are the constituents of sound. In the same way that white light is composed of all the colors, which we can separate by passing a beam of light through a prism, so are all sounds composed of harmonics, which combine to form what we hear as one sound but which is actually the specific set of overtones that gives each sound its individuality. Overtone singing is the ability to accentuate within the mouth individual harmonics and filter out the other frequencies, therefore singing two or more audible notes at once and essentially producing a purer sound than that of the already beautiful normal singing human voice.
Besides the trained human voice there are instruments which are naturally rich in audible overtones, and can, for that reason, be used to great effect for therapeutic purposes. Tuning forks, singing bowls, the gong, monochord, shruti box, didgeridoo and tanpura are examples of such instruments.

While Jenny's experiments, and those of subsequent researchers in cymatics are conventional physics and solidly based in the observation of causal relationships of physical phenomena, the magic of this scientific artistry comes in its interpretation. Cymatics shows how vibrations interact to create the world we experience "out there" in the dense physical world of matter, form and function, while illuminating hidden principles that underlie all natural processes. These very same principles are also operative in our subjective worlds. Once we truly understand these causative principles, we can apply them to every aspect of our lives, including the rarefied vibrations of perception, feeling, emotion, thought and belief. It is these subtle realms that must be brought into coherency.
Morphogenetic fields and consciousness
The idea that particles are "real objects" has been repudiated by quantum physics. The best description that physicists have so far is that particles are actually interactions between fields. A field, like a three-dimensional wave, is spread out over a much larger area than a particle. When two fields interact with each other, they interact neither gradually nor at all their areas of contact. Rather, they interact instantaneously and at a single point in space, and these points of interaction are what we call particles. This is called the quantum field theory. According to this view, physical reality is essentially non-substantial. Fields alone are real; they are the substance of the universe and not "matter". In addition, "force" is a consequence of geometry. Gravity, electricity and magnetism are just effects caused by the bending or warping of dimensions beyond our three spatial dimensions.
A biological organism is made up of perfectly ordinary atoms. An atom of carbon, hydrogen or oxygen inside a living cell is no different from a carbon, hydrogen or oxygen atom outside, and there is a steady stream of such atoms passing into and out of all biological organisms. The matter that living beings are made of keeps changing as cells die and new ones form. The pancreas replaces most of its cells every 24 hours; the stomach lining every three days. Our white blood cells are renewed in ten days and 98% of the protein in the brain is turned over in less than one month. Not one single atom in your body will be any part of you in six months time. Our bodies are in constant dynamic interchange with the world around us through breathing, eating, drinking, sweating, urinating, along with innumeral other processes. So how can the same atoms be part of an inanimate world at one point in their history and part of a conscious being at another? At what point do these atoms, or the structure of which they are a part, acquire consciousness?
What is consciousness? We commonly understand it as being the general capacity for awareness and purposeful response, but one of the most essential features of human consciousness is so basic that we usually take it for granted: it is the unity of our conscious experience. Each note we hear in a musical symphony is part of a melody. Each note does not stand isolated in our awareness, any more than each letter in a novel or each pixel in a printed picture stands isolated in our awareness. The theme of a tune or the plot of a novel are what have been called "emergent" qualities. They only emerge at the collective (or unified) level of structure, but are meaningless at the component level. If we look out of a window, we are not aware of each thing in isolation. We may see a tree in a location in a garden, together with the sky, the landscape and the horizon. All of these things are present to us at once. Only in their wholeness do they compose our view from the window. Without such a unity, there could be no experience of reality as we know it.
Professor Herbert Frohlich of Liverpool University first described the "pumped system" which is known to exist in biological tissue. This is a system of vibrating, electrically charged molecules (dipoles — positive at one end and negative at the other) in the cell walls of living tissue. As they vibrate, these dipoles emit signals of microwave frequency like miniature radio transmitters. Frohlich demonstrated that beyond a certain threshold, any additional energy pumped into the system causes the molecules of that kind to vibrate in unison until they pull themselves into a Bose-Einstein condensate (a physical state, like solid or liquid, in which molecules increasingly vibrate in unison until they have reached the most ordered form of synchronicity. A laser beam is one example of a Bose-Einstein condensate). The crucial distinguishing feature of this system is that the vibrating molecules not only behave as a whole, but they become whole — their identities merge or overlap in such a way that they lose their individuality entirely. The vibrating cell membranes thus create the most coherent form of order possible in nature, the order of unbroken wholeness. Evidence for such coherent states in biological tissue is now abundant and it could well explain both the physical basis of consciousness and of memory.
The entirety of space is permeated with cosmic rays. The Earth itself is bathed in a sea of electromagnetic radiation. We not only live in this sea of energy — we are part of it. It may be difficult to conceive that we are anything other than flesh and blood, when living in a world in which we are taught to believe only what our physical senses tell us, but from the viewpoint of both quantum physics and ancient eastern philosophies, human beings, like everything else in existence, are fundamentally systems of energy vibrating at various frequencies. Living organisms are receivers and transmitters, oscillators of electromagnetic wave-forms. Each of us is an organism made up from billions of cells. Some ten thousand million neurones constitute our brain; another ten thousand million cells form our liver, and so on. Given all this complexity, how are we, in sum total, one thing? What holds us together? How do we maintain the same shape and appearance, even though millions of our cells are dying and being replaced every day?
Studies of DNA have shown that each cell of an animal carries the blueprint of the whole animal — and also that each cell can broadcast that blueprint to new cells so that they develop in precisely the right places to reform the organism after damage. For instance, when we cut a finger, our fingerprint cells grow and heal exactly where they were before. An earthworm manages to regenerate a complete new head after it has been cut in two. In the higher life-forms, this regenerative mechanism is dependent on the nearby presence of nervous tissue. However, since the nervous system is not in physical contact with all of its cells, some non-neural process must be in operation. The speed and extent of the communications necessary to organize and maintain the replacement of millions of cells that are dying every day goes far beyond the capacity of the nervous system alone. The speed of transmission down neural axons is only 40 meters per second, far too slow by a large factor to handle this sort of traffic. Recent research has shown that influence and control by cells depends not on the chemical constituents of electrolytic fluids, but by resonance brought about by electromagnetic radiation — a quantum mechanical process. This non-neural broadcast network has been termed "morphogenesis".
The very basis of organic life is the covalent hydrogen bond and at the heart of this bond is resonance (the vibration of one body in response to the vibration of another). In the covalent bond, two hydrogen atoms each "share" one of the other hydrogen atom's electrons. The electrons rapidly oscillate from one atom to the other and the electrostatic charges produced join the two hydrogen atoms together. Each individual cell of our body has a nucleus, which is packed with DNA in helical windings. DNA macromolecules can act like minute oscillating circuits with capacity and inductance, and are capable of oscillating to a specific frequency. Our cells can therefore act like miniature two-way radio sets, transmitting and receiving signals.

DNA macromolecules can act like minute oscillating circuits with capacity and inductance, and are capable of oscillating to a specific frequency. Our cells can therefore act like miniature two-way radio sets, transmitting and receiving signals.
A helical winding is ideal for picking up radio signals; all modem radios have a similar device inside, the difference in this case being that a biological cell is programmed to a fixed frequency and in a radio you can shift between frequencies within a given frequency range. Along the DNA helix are a number of different covalent hydrogen bonds and bases, each sequence of which represents a specific piece of information. Thus, only a specific wave-form can be received by the helix. The distance between one complete winding of the helix is fixed by the hydrogen bonds, which ensures that it does not stretch or contract and make the "aerial" go out of tune. The other part of the double-stranded helix acts as a local transmitter of exactly the same signal as that which it receives. A picture emerges of an individual DNA macromolecule acting as a specific "signature tune", each note being made up of a sequence of hydrogen bonds set out along the helical winding, ready to be played like a cello string. The resonant frequency of each note is determined by the speed of oscillation of the covalent hydrogen bond, and this oscillation varies according to the nature of the bases to which it is linked. The hydrogen bonds hold the helix at its correct pitch.
The part of the conductor in this symphony is played by the brain and heart. The powerful electromagnetic field generated by the heartbeat and cerebral brainwaves act as complex signals, such as emotions, controlling cellular activity without recourse to the slower electrochemical functioning of the neural pathways (which are solely concerned with events at a supra-cellular level). Cells broadcast their radio signals via the resonance of their DNA bases' hydrogen bonds, and transmit this morphogenetic information to adjacent cells. If the correct frequency is broadcast by a large number of cells it becomes a strong signal which binds the whole cellular structure of an organism together; this is known as a "morphogenetic field" and is the way entities like cells, human beings or entire planets regenerate themselves and maintain homeostasis and therefore what determines the laws of nature present at each different level of truth, from micro to macro.
DNA has a high magnetic anisotropy, meaning that it is very sensitive to electromagnetic fields, and the way our emotional state affects it is so that if we are stressed, frustrated or fearful, we'll resonate a low-frequency, denser vibration causing entropy (which is a measure of how evenly energy is distributed in a system: the higher the entropy, the less energy is available for usage) and if you're thankfull, happy or loving you'll resonate a high-frequency vibration which will accelerate its reaction speed and account for greater coherence and complexity. Should the transceiver functions within any cell become damaged (by viral, chemical or mechanical trauma, for example) that cell will no longer respond to or transmit its unique resonant frequency. So it starts sending out the wrong signal to other cells, which in turn ignore the organism's electromagnetic field's normal command — unless they are brought back to normality by an even more powerful transmission from the brain and heart in retaliation. If the field's specific signals are weakened by its having to use up a lot of energy (through stress, for example), then the cells continue broadcasting incorrect signals. This indicates the importance of will-power in health.
The radiation apparatus of an organic cell can also be damaged by an incorrect incoming signal frequency. This explains how skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet radiation. There is considerable evidence that UV radiation affects DNA in organic tissues: for instance, the regenerative powers of an earthworm are destroyed by exposure to UV light; with other organisms, namely plants, mutation or growth can result. The concept of morphogenetic fields implies that each cell's resonant frequency helps to control the organic form of the whole organism of which it is a member — in other words, the whole is enfolded in each of its parts in a fractal-like behavior.
Since the components of a living cell may be compared to an electrical oscillating circuit, and since every living being thereby emits radiations, the French scientist Georges Lakhovsky offered explanations of such phenomena as instinct in animals, migration in birds, health, disease, and in general all the manifestations of organic life. There is certainly an inter-penetrating electromagnetic field associated with living organisms, simply because the very components of cells are chemical salts and acids that naturally act like electrolytes: they carry electrical charges. Around each cell is a fatty lipid layer which acts like an insulator against the cell's outer environment. This layer sets up what is known in electrical terms as a potential difference, meaning that electricity from inside the cells naturally wants to flow to the outside.
It was at the end of the nineteenth century that Dr Albert Abrams produced the hypothesis that the cellular origin of disease should be abandoned: it is only because the molecular constituents of cells are altered by radiated changes in the composition of their electrons that disease occurs. Therefore, the balance between health and illness should more accurately be attributed to an electromagnetic change. A pharmaceutical substance may correct cellular disorder by re-imposing its own harmonies on malignant substances. Abrams illustrated this by the effect of quinine on malaria: the wave form for quinine cancelled out exactly the wave form for malaria — in other words an electromagnetic interference effect, rather than as a result of any pharmaceutical action as such. Once such mechanisms are charted, it may be possible to substitute pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy for electromagnetically generated resonances which will do the same job.
