Hans Jenny is a Swiss doctor who, in 1967, published a book called Cymatics, The Structure and Dynamics of Waves and Vibration. This presented the results of extensive research using metal plates and a variety of materials like sand and iron filings to demonstrate the patterns and motions from subjecting them to different sound frequencies. Each tone caused a different shape. It was a powerful visual representation of the capacity of sound to reorganize matter. It sheds light on the formation of the universe. Cymatics is a fundamental element of how sound healing works in the various energetic realms.  More will be discussed and demonstrated in the upcoming blocks on the Physics of Sound and Healing.
