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.

There are rare moments in time when we make choices that irreversibly change the world, and our lives, forever. We’re living one of those moments.

Scientists and philosophers alike warn us that without a radical shift in our thinking, we are on track to be the last generation of pure humans that the world will know. Within a single generation the current trends in technology will lead us to devolve into a hybrid species of synthetic bodies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer chips that limit our ability to think, to love and to adapt to the emerging world in a healthy way. In doing so we will also lose our capacity for emotion, empathy, intimacy and forgiveness—the very qualities that we value and cherish in our humanness.
Perhaps it’s no accident that in the presence of such dystopian trends, diverse fields of science ranging from human evolution and epigenetics, to the emerging studies of neuro-cardiology and heart intelligence, are revealing a powerful, hopeful new human story of extraordinary potential that rivals the very technology we’re being asked to accept in our lives and into our bodies.
These discoveries add to a growing body of evidence confirming that we are a highly advanced “soft” technology of neurons and cell receptors with the ability to:

The key to these highest expressions of our humanness is to unlock the personal code to our advanced neural networks, cell membranes and emotional intelligence that allows us to excel in everyday life, and thrive in times of uncertainty. Pure Human: We are the future we’ve been waiting for! is designed to do just that, by breaking though the obsolete science and fear-based conditioning of the past. The question that we face is simple: Do we love ourselves enough to preserve the gift of our humanness?
This compelling journey of self-discovery will catapult you beyond conventional thinking when it comes to your origins, your limits and, most importantly, the abilities that have been hidden from you for centuries, and the extraordinary potential that awaits as you embrace them.

Gregg Braden is a five-time New York Times bestselling author, scientist, and pioneer of the emerging paradigm linking science, social policy, and human potential.

His research has resulted in 15 films, 12 award-winning books, and publications in over 40 languages. He was nominated in 2020 for the prestigious Templeton Prize, established by Sir John Templeton to recognize living individuals who have “harnessed the power of science to explore the deepest questions of the universe and humanity’s place and purpose in it.”

He has presented his findings in more than 34 countries on six continents and has been invited to speak at the United Nations, Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. military.

Gregg is a member of scientific and visionary organizations including the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research, The Galileo Society, HeartMath’s Global Coherence Initiative, The Arlington Institute, as well as an early signatory to the 2017 Fuji Declaration, the international call to collectively catalyze a timely change in the course of human history.
