What is Cymatics
Since ancient times, sound has been used to stimulate healing in
body, mind and soul. Pythagoras, the sixth-century B.C. Greek
philosopher, is credited with being the first to use music to heal
the body and the emotions. The belief that sound can support healing
has been an integral part of many of the world's cultures, from the
most ancient Hindu mantra practice to the rituals of Chinese
healers, South American shamans and Sufi mystics.
The
eighteenth-century German scientist and musician Ernst Chladni, known as the father of acoustics, showed that sound does affect matter. When he drew a violin bow around the edge of a
plate covered with fine sand, the sand formed intricate geometric
patterns.
Photographing Sound Patterns
In the
1960s, in more sophisticated experiments, Swiss scientist Dr. Hans
Jenny produced beautiful and intricate patterns by placing sand,
fluid and powders on metal plates and vibrating them with a special
frequency generator and a speaker. The patterns remained intact as
long as the sound was pulsating through the substance, showing that
sound can indeed alter form and that different frequencies create
different patterns. The photographs to the right are just a sampling
of Dr. Jenny's work. (These images are taken from the newly

Dr. Jenny coined the term
cymatics (from the Greek kyma, meaning "wave" and
ta kymatica, meaning "matters pertaining to waves") to
describe the study of wave phenomena. The implications of his
cymatics studies are vast, especially as applied to the field of
healing and vibrational medicine.
Applying Sound Research to Holistic
Healing
Peter Guy Manners was one of the pioneers who
applied the cymatics research of Dr. Jenny and others to the field
of holistic healing with exceptional results.
Building on
the work that has gone before, Cymatherapy products use a internationally patented
delivery system that supports the body’s natural self-healing abilities and delivers to the body the precise combinations of frequencies associated with healthy tissue and organ systems. The sound waves that are transmitted through this new technology help to normalize imbalances and synchronize the cells' frequencies back to their natural, healthy state of vibrational resonance.
