John Stuart Reid β Explore the Secrets of Sonic Science & Cymatics 2022
Mediate pain and stress, supercharge your immune system, balance your body systems, and activate your capacity to heal at a cellular level using sound and music frequencies⦠and the science and art of sound made visible.

Did you know that in the early universe, theory points to sound as the organizing principle for the matter that later evolved into stars, galaxies β and even life on Earth?
Billions of years later, sound is still helping to organize matter⦠including your body, biological functions, health, and overall sense of wellbeing.
Sound and music therapies from ancient times to the modern era have used a range of frequencies to ease pain, repair tissue and bones, and reduce illness and stress. These therapies include the mesmerizing sounds of the ancient Egyptian sistrum rattle, the body-balancing vibrations of Acoustic Meridian Intelligence (AMI) devices, and ultrasound in the natural world.
The emerging science of cymatics, the science of visible sound, is expanding the parameters of what was previously thought possible in sound therapy. And itβs generating new cascades of scientific and therapeutic potential in the process.
During this groundbreaking course with acoustics scientist John Stuart Reid, inventor of the CymaScope instrument, youβll unravel the mysteries and healing potential of sonic science and the cymatic patterns that influence your health at a cellular levelβ¦ and be immersed in the medicine of sound, vibration, and music.
Youβll discover the science of resonance in healing and experience stunning visual meditations that blend science, art, and sound. And youβll receive specific sound frequencies that are used in therapeutic ultrasound, infrasound, and audible sound to stimulate restorative biological responses that can recalibrate and balance your body systems.
Youβll also explore sonic science and cymatics with engaging visual meditations by guest speakers Dr. Mandara Cromwell, CEO of Cyma Technologies, and choreographer and yoga instructor Kate Holland. And youβll experience live musical performances by renowned musicians Anders Holte and Cacina Meadu.
Johnβs groundbreaking work in cymatics spans decades, but was elevated to new heights by a personal healing experience he had when experimenting with sound frequencies in the Great Pyramid of Giza. There, a series of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs appeared on a membrane stretched across the chamberβs sarcophagus when excited by sound.
And, as if this werenβt astonishing enoughβ¦ John was also simultaneously healed of debilitating back pain.
During your time with John, heβll offer a wealth of never-before shared discoveries in sound and music that have unfolded during the last two decades, including how:
- Sound may one day be used to completely eradicate cancer
- Sonic stimulation (through simple vocal exercises) can activate the widespread healing benefits of the vagus nerve β from reduced chronic inflammation and pain to a slowed-down aging process
- Nitric oxide, which is paramount to boosting dopamine levels, suppressing cortisol, enhancing sexual function, and supercharging your immune system, can be produced in your body when you listen to specific kinds of sounds and music
- The membranes of your cells are imprinted with patterns of sound that can awaken sleeping aspects of your biology
- Sound gives birth to light and creates cell-to-cell communication
- The combination of sound or music with water can create a healing elixir that you can actually drink
Youβll witness live demonstrations and partake in interactive experiments with John. Youβll explore how sound transforms formless matter into elegant form on a Chladni plate when played with a violin bow. Youβll witness the healing frequencies of the ancient Egyptian sistrum instrument on a spectrum analyser instrument. And youβll take part in an exercise that reveals how a mechanism in your vocal folds creates not only sound, but infrared light that can travel to the stars if you sing outside, carrying your unique song into the universe.
Are you ready to activate restorative cellular healing through powerfully transformative cymatics, sound, and music?
Are you curious about how advanced sound therapies can rewire your body, mind, and soul for vibrant health and awakened living?
