Cymatics is the science of how sound waves translate into
physical patterns. The implication is that sound is formative. "In
the beginning was the Word" (see The
Metaphysics of Sound.
Please see A
Brief History of Cymatics for Elizabeth Colorio Bauer's discussion of
what has gone before in this incredibly fascinating science, and
"Cymatics and the New Age of Miracles" in the March 2001 Spirit of Ma'at for information
from Dr. Manners about some of the applications and exciting
implications of this form of healing.
Below, Elizabeth
Colorio Bauer, research director at CymatherapyTM International, talks about what
is happening today in cymatics research and its application to
healing.
Aluna : Let's talk
about what modern cymatics research has shown about the relationship
of sound/vibratory pattern and the state of wellness within our
bodies?
Elizabeth: Human tissue
in itself is an energy system. Impedance to energy flow within the
tissue can be a predecessor to tissue dysfunction, and dysfunction
in the tissues changes their vibratory resonant characteristics.
Certain precisely-specified frequencies, amplitudes, and
waveforms are associated with healthy, electrically balanced
(homeostatic) functioning of the body as a whole and of its various
parts. Certain other frequencies, amplitudes, and waveforms either
accompany unhealthy tissue or imbalanced disruptions or serve as
early warning signals.
Aluna:
What does cymatics research show about the correlations with the
auditory environment and wellness? Is someone who is being inundated
by the automated din of an urban environment more likely to become
unbalanced or unhealthy than a person who is surrounded by nature
sounds in a rural environment?
Elizabeth: That seems to be the case, yes. The
auditory environment that engulfs us during the course of our day
does impact the balance of our innate resonant frequencies or
vibratory response. Our bodies are able to tune in to healthy or
unhealthy vibrations in our environment. Exposure to either good or
bad frequencies impacts us physiologically as it does all matter.
As human beings, we attempt by nature to avoid noxious
frequencies or vibrational patterns we consider harmful or "out of
tune" with our own. Think of our instinctual reaction to the sound
of a screeching siren, or even to a musical style we do not like.
Notice that when the radio station is playing music that we do not
like or consider annoying, we instinctually change it and "tune in"
to one whose musical style we prefer or feel more comfortable with
at the moment.
Cymatics confirms what we already feel—that
certain auditory environments are harmful to our physiological
balance.
Aluna: How is sound, or
vibration, used for healing?
Elizabeth:
The Einsteinian view of vibrational medicine is that human
beings are a multidimensional organism composed of physical/cellular
systems in dynamic interplay with complex regulatory energy fields.
Cymatic therapies, which belong to the field of vibrational
medicine, target these energy fields, directing sound energy into
the body to correct and restore the balance of the resonance
frequencies within.
Aluna: How
can sound tell us that we are healthy?
Elizabeth: There are literally hundreds of
"signature vibrations" of healthy organs and tissues. Each
commutation, or harmonious combination, of frequencies is supportive
to the specific tissues it is designed to bring into resonant
balance.
All of these signature vibrations are the inherent
resonant frequencies of the tissue to be targeted in its optimal or
healthiest state of wellness.
Aluna:
How were these signature vibrations discovered?
Elizabeth: Dr. Sir Peter Guy Manners's study
of the frequencies of healthy tissue began in Germany many years
ago. He and a team of researchers were able to detect and record the
frequencies of tissue with the help of instrumentation designed to
capture and record those frequencies.
In the 1950s,
Professor Gaveau of the Sorbonne in Paris, Dr. Brunner from Germany,
Dr. Harold S. Burr from Yale University, and Swiss scientist Dr.
Hans Jenny were each involved in research into these phenomena. Dr.
Manners collated the results of their work and developed a therapy
based on cymatics.
As Dr. Manners has said, "Every part of
the body—the heart, the lungs, the liver, the kidney, the muscles,
the bones, the nerves—possesses a harmonic. These harmonics are now
tabulated. We know what they are, and they can be played back into
the structure and the system."
It was Hans Jenny who first
coined the term "cymatics." Dr. Manners named his work cymatics
therapy and later CymatherapyTM out of his great regard
for Jenny's contributions to the science of wave phenomena and
vibration.
Aluna: Are signature
vibrations universal? I understand that we each have a unique
vibratory signature, so I have to wonder if the vibration for a
ten-year-old girl's healthy liver would be the same as for an
80-year-old man's.
Elizabeth:
The vibratory signatures for an individual human organ delivered by
cymatic instrumentation are the same for that organ regardless of
the age of the individual.
The cymatic instrument is
designed to deliver to target organs or tissues the inherent
frequencies or vibratory signature of optimal health, balance, and
function. So yes, the commutation that we would use would be the
same for a child as it would be for an adult.
Aluna: I understand that there are several
ways in which Cymatherapy is applied practically, some of which
utilize color along with sound. How does blending the frequencies of
sound with the frequencies of light enhance this work?
Elizabeth: Color and sound are both forms of
radiant energy. The energy of spectral colors or sounds will affect
the energy pattern of tissue, stimulating that pattern and creating
a new balance of energy in the tissue.
Interestingly enough,
it is Albert Einstein, in his famous Photoelectric Law formulated in
1905, who has offered the most incisive and fundamental explanation
thus far of the energy levels of spectral colors. In 1921, Einstein
won the Nobel Prize for this principle.
Aluna: I note that the Mark VI, which has been
the standard instrument in Cymatherapy, holds 390 computations of
healing frequencies, but that you now have well over 800
computations, and a new instrument is due to be released in
November. Can you speak to the gains in the technology of
Cymatherapy in the not-too-distant future?
Elizabeth: There has been much technological
advancement in computer instrumentation, circuitry, electronics, and
data storage since the Mark VI's inception. The new instrument that
we have developed is state-of-the-art in its electronic components
and design, allowing for the capacity to store as many commutations
as are necessary for the user's practice.
Dr. Manners is
extremely excited about the new instrument's potential. We also are
developing specific classes of instruments for practitioners in
different levels of professional licensure and practice.
The
hand-held applicator also has been redesigned. This new,
patent-pending applicator has ergonomic features that will easily
adjust to accommodate any part of the body and the addition of a
static magnetic field that oscillates at the same frequency as the
sound wave.
This new feature will enhance results.
Oscillating magnetic fields have been proven through
well-constructed medical studies to be effective in treating many
physical problems.
So with the addition of the oscillating
magnetic field, we are combining two of the most powerful natural
healing agents in the field of bioresonance or vibrational medicine.
Aluna: Very exciting! Thank you
Liz.
