What if sound doesn’t just influence what we hear… but shapes what we are?
From the curious observations of Leonardo da Vinci, to the groundbreaking experiments of Faraday and Chladni, cymatic science has quietly revealed a hidden truth: sound has the power to organise matter into intricate, living patterns. What began as scattered discoveries across centuries is now converging into something far more profound.
In this fascinating and thought-provoking talk, professor John Stuart Reid—pioneer and inventor of the CymaScope—takes you to the cutting edge of cymatic research, where science meets consciousness.
You’ll journey through the evolution of this extraordinary field, from early acoustic experiments to modern breakthroughs that allow us to see sound shaping water and biological systems in real time. But this is where things get even more intriguing…
What happens when these principles are applied to the human body?
With a particular focus on the brain and the powerful pineal and pituitary glands, this presentation explores how cymatic laws may be actively influencing our physiology, perception, and even states of consciousness.
Is it possible that sound is not just a force—but a gateway?
Expect to leave with your curiosity ignited, your perspective expanded, and a completely new appreciation for the unseen forces shaping your inner world.
Acoustic-physics scientist, professor John Stuart Reid, is a man on a mission to educate and inspire the world in the field of cymatics, the study of visible sound. His CymaScope invention has changed our perception of sound forever: seeing sound allows us to understand this omnipresent aspect of our world and universe fuller and deeper. His cymatics research is helping to elevate this important new field in the scientific arena, and he speaks at scientific conferences in Europe and USA. In the medical field his study of the effects of music on human blood, using the CymaScope instrument to differentiate between the sounds emitted by cancer cells and healthy cells was published in the Water Journal, and has far reaching health implications. In 2021 he was invited to write a chapter on Sound Therapy and Music Medicine for a new medical text book, which was published in 2022, in English, Russian and Slovak and is available from:https://www.acuclinic.eu/ecompendium/ Also in 2022 he hosted successful courses with The Shift Network, teaching Cymatics, Sonic Science and Music Medicine and in 2025 he hosted a very successful advanced course with the Shift Network, based on Frequency Medicine and Cymatic Science. His study on how dolphins see with sound and communicate sono-pictorially, published in the Journal of Marine Science, carries the potential for eventual interspecies communication, a future in which we will be able to hold a conversation with a dolphin. His recent study on the effects of music on the longevity of red blood cells is due for publication in early 2026.
