First Swirlings
The cosmic microwave background is remarkably uniform over the sky, but tiny variations reveal the imprints of sound waves triggered by fluctuations in the universe just moments after it was born. Scientists believe these imprints, appearing as splotches in the Planck map, are the seeds from which matter grew, forming stars and galaxies.

Cymatic Patterns
Everything in nature vibrates at specific frequencies and that effect can be visualized. At first, 'sight' and 'sound' seem like utterly different senses, each orienting us to different environmental input. But sound has a fundamental quality that allows it to actually generate artistically-meaningful sights from vibrations.
The study of these acoustic patterns and their transformations is called the science of Cymatics. Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency. Laboratory experiments make the inherent geometries, harmonics and oscillations within sound and music visible. There is visual beauty in the inherent responsiveness of matter to sound. We recognize it because we are part of the same vibrational matrix. Thus, cymatics can change how you relate to music and art.
Natural Rhythms
Cymatics reveals the secret harmony of nature: a vibrational field always acts holistically. The word is derived from the Greek, 'kuma' meaning 'billow' or 'wave,' describing the periodic effects that sound and vibration have on matter. Much like a laser makes light coherent or orderly, sound patterns form into pleasing symmetries. The results of pattern formation are therefore naturally aesthetic in their appeal. They are actually interference patterns of interacting waves made visible in some medium, much like ripples become visible when water is disturbed.
Musical Visualizations
Thus, musical structure is linked to universal pattern creation and destruction. Whether we understand the science of resonance or not, most of us know a wine glass can be shattered by vibrations with a matching frequency, produced either mechanically or from a single strong note or overtone, sung or played. Nature's reflective balance is a supersymmetry.
Dusty Drumheads
Cymatics is the science-art study of wave phenomena and vibrations. Without comprehending where they came from, who knows when the first shaman noticed that sand kicked onto his drumhead formed mysterious patterns to music or chanting. It would, indeed, seem like magic, especially inside caves, manmade resonant chambers, within canyon walls, and later in temples.
Shamans were the first artists, structuring the unseen realms of mystical imagination. If he had artistic talent, a shaman expressed his visions graphically. Sound formed some of the impressions that led to the invention of art. Like the traditional drumhead, amplifiers and speakers are a modern analog capable of structuring matter into patterns with sound.
Visualizing Sound
Ancient spiritual leaders spoke words of power over dusty drumheads, carefully transcribing the resonant patterns they found as pictograms and hieroglyphs. They also discovered these same patterns in the planetary orbits and geometries of life -- calling it the "Music of the Spheres". Evidence suggests that sacred geometry and hieroglyphics developed through cymatics, the acoustic resonance between sound and form. Simple sand on a drumhead will produce many classical geometric forms and embryonic letters or numbers.
A great science of harmonic vibration emerged in the ancient mystery schools. It is the basis of the ideals of balance and harmony. The same principles were used in the ancient science of sound and vibrational healing. New technologies are now applied as resonance therapies. These visual forms became magic signs that formed a primordial code that later evolved into writing and the fundamental symmetries of art, in particular the mandala form, often associated with the universal creative sound, "Om".
Cosmic Creation
"Om" is a symbol of primordial creation, analogous to "The Word", spreading outward from a singularity. The rapidly expanding early universe infused enough energy to proto-particles that instead of quickly subsiding into the vacuum, they remained in the real world. The sudden influx of countless particles from the vacuum was like a stone thrown into the dense particle pond of the early universe, sending out ripples of pressure waves.
Pressure waves rippling through a gas are nothing more than sound waves. The entire universe rang like a bell.Those reverberations were abruptly silenced 13 billion years ago, when the universe became transparent. Once photons were traveling freely through space, (“Let there be Light!”), there was no longer enough pressure to support the sound waves. But before fading forever, those echoes of creation left their mark on the cosmic microwave background.
When sound waves were still spreading through the universe, they compressed the particle soup in some regions of the cosmos and rarefied it in others. Pressure changes cause temperature changes. Increase the pressure in a gas and the temperature increases. Microwave photons coming from these various regions have slightly different temperatures. The temperature patterns show the universe just as it was when the particle fog -- and the sound waves -- vanished.
All structures in the universe, including ourselves, exist as standing waves in absolute space. EM force field waves are created by the interference of sound-type scalar potential waves. Sound creates light. This strongly supports Tesla's statement that EM waves in the vacuum are actually EM sound waves, much like sound waves in a gas.
Waves Within Waves
Leading-edge science tells us such resonant waves also create our bodies. We are resonant waves within waves. Our fundamental nature is a dynamic standing wave. The holographic frequency domain is one such wave phenomena, a universal one. The quantum wave function is another. A number of waves crossing each other at right angles look like a woven pattern. The wave nature of light and sound make holography possible.
DNA forms our bodies in the same way with sound and coherent light. It is the song of life. Acoustic holography creates three-dimensional images of a sound field in space and time from three-dimensional sources. Our DNA does much the same in reverse using Fourier acoustics when it projects the geometric template of our form as a soundfield. Ultrasonics has shown that 2-D recodings of soundwaves can be used to generate or recreate 3-D forms.
DNA uses this process to create and embody our boundaries. It carries the source geometry or constant coordinates. Thus, embodiment means a translation from the holographic frequency domain to the wave-number domain.
Reconstructing acoustic quantities at low (or microwave) frequencies is usually much easier than that at high frequencies. The double-helix is a crossed linear array. The phased array of DNA creates virtual holograms as templates for pulse holography which creates genuine 3-dimensionality.
A similar process may occur in natural healing when so-called junk DNA turns on and deploys as gene-expression. There is evidence that immediate-early genes (IEGs) function as mediators of information transduction between psychological experience, behavioral states, and gene expression. (Rossi)
A wide range of behavioral state-related gene expression (from relaxation, hypnosis and sleep to high arousal, performance, stress and trauma) culminate in the production of new proteins or homeostasis, physical and psychosocial adaptation. Behavioral states modulate certain patterns of gene expression. Interaction between the genetic and behavioral levels is a two way street. Genes and behavior are related in cybernetic loops of mind-body communication.
Just like aiming sound oscillations at a drumhead creates geometric patterns, certain patterns get fixed in our bodies and finer structure. They influence our ability to survive, feel safe, socialize, and thrive. Cymatics shows how such vibrations interact to create the world we experience 'out there', bringing to light hidden principles which underlie all natural processes.
