In cymatics, a single-phase sound waves allow for a more consistent phase throughout the cycle.
In life, humans thrive on consistency, but continually seek change. The key is to strike a balance between the new and the familiar.

Cymatics are not only determined by the frequency, but also by the container. Imperfections in the container block energy, thereby dampening harmonic resonance.
Now think of your body as the container and consider your blockages, physical and mental. What negative effects are they having on your harmonic resonance?

Crystal lattices themselves do not directly produce visible patterns, but the vibrational modes of crystals can be visualized using techniques like Bragg diffraction or other scattering methods. These techniques can reveal the internal symmetry and harmonic frequencies of the crystal lattice by showing how waves interact with the crystal's structure.
Here’s a video showing the creation of a crystal lattice on the surface of vodka.

This line from the SVP wiki page on cymatics stands out to me… “We have therefore deduced that sound is the formative power of shape and form in space.”
That’s right, without vibrations our physical reality would be absent of form. Everything down to color, taste, smell, brightness, temperature are all derived from vibrational waves. We are but music

Easily visualize opposing wave oscillations during the formation of cymatic patterns. A frame from each composite images (left-hand panels), and images of alternating phases (center and right-hand panels).

Cymatics occur when a balance is between order and chaos is achieved. Syntropic vibrations generate self organizing node points. Entropic vibrations create enough chaos to make matter dance, right into the trap of existence.

Sun Sonification: turning the sun’s harmonic frequencies into sound. Check the link to hear a distinct ohmmmmmmm 🧘
The accompanying image is sonified sun as visualized through a Cymascope. Inventor John Stuart Reid has this to say about it:
“Here is the Sun Dragon, crouched and ready to imbue life from this single unit of vibration. This frequency matches the frequency of NASA's "sonification" of the the Sun and is the 5th harmonic of B-flat"

We've come a long way from sprinkling powder on Chladni plates. The Cymascope opens a new frontier.
This slideshow examines the visual representations of certain meaningful harmonics: love frequency, 20x transposed Earth Day frequency, Sun frequency, and more. Very insightful!

This is a table from Ernst Chladni’s 1787 book “Entdeckungen über die Theorie des Klanges”. The patterns represent Chladni figures, and they show sand settling at natural nodal points on a metal plate when certain frequencies are produced. /cymatics

After Chladni, the most notable figure to study cymatics was English scientist, Michael Faraday (yes, Faraday Cage Faraday). In fact, before Hans Jenny coined the term "cymatics", it was commonly referred to as Faraday Wave phenomena. I'll be writing some longer form pieces about Faraday's explorations soon, but for now, here's a quick snap I took of Michael Faraday's portrait at the Faraday Museum in London!

The concept of underlying vibrational patterns in the natural world dates back centuries. In his 1632 volume, "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems," Galileo Galilei observed the frequency phenomenon while scraping a brass plate with a chisel. He noted a high whistling sound and saw parallel streaks of brass particles that assembled in unison with the sound.

Robert Hooke, an English polymath, was the first to discover and study cymatics in 1671. He’s credited for a variety of discoveries and inventions in physics, astronomy, geology, meteorology, and architecture. He was one of the first scientists to investigate living things at microscopic scale, using a compound microscope he designed himself, no less!
Cymatics were just a blip in Hooke’s prestigious career, and it wasn’t until over 100 years later, in 1780, when experiments were continued by German physicist and musician Ernst Chladni. The Chladni plate is still used in cymatics explorations to this day. More on him and his discoveries in future posts ⚛️
