Cymatic Science: A Gateway to Transcendent Consciousness

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.

BIOGRAPHY

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.

GITHA BEN-DAVID

The Healing Power of the Authentic Voice

An introduction to The Note from Heaven & Hung Song

Your voice is reflecting the condition of your breath and thus your spiritual and physical state in the present now. When listening for your voice’s authentic expression you can free the breath and surrender to a Oneness state. Vocal sound healing is all about listening unconditionally for the signals of your voice. The listening sense is linked to your essence which communicate messages through specific sounds. The authentic voice is thus expressing your body and soul’s condition. When “The Note from Heaven” appears – it will sing and overwhelm you, rather than you sing, and natural fractals of over and undertones, representing our lifeforce, Phi, the spiral movement of the Golden Ratio appear.

“Hung Song” is inner undertones which are sung through the nose in Nggg. It is scientifically proved that deep notes sang through the nose are 15-20 folding the NO – Nitric Oxide production, which is necessary to uptake oxygen, heals infection, lowers blood pressure and much more. NO is compared to “Chi”. Probably this is the reason that the cat purr.

The expression of Hung Song can add energy to/ purify any place that you focus in with your intention. With the help of Hung Song you can purify your Pineal gland, or enter a tumor in the brain – that cannot be operated. There are endless possibilities, as you can scan an anatomic map even into small details, and thus find the exact place where an imbalance is placed in the organism. The method is 80 % sure, from Githa BD’s experience, and should always be checked in collaboration with the hospitals.

The finer tuning into your authentic frequency, the stronger communication with the heavenly dimensions. Let those who have ears hear.

PRE-CON WORKSHOP

Join renowned physician and author Dr. Gabor Maté for an immersive workshop introducing Compassionate Inquiry™, a groundbreaking psychotherapeutic method that reveals what lies beneath the surface we present to the world.

Through Compassionate Inquiry, people can recognise the unconscious dynamics that run their lives and how to liberate themselves from them.

The use of the Compassionate Inquiry approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of illness and addiction.

We all long to be seen, heard, understood and loved. We heal when we feel safe in our relationship, connected to our bodies, our breath, the present moment, and one another.

This will be both an experiential, participatory workshop where participants will be guided through their own personal process, as well as an introduction to the training to teach the method of Compassionate Inquiry to health professionals, therapists and social workers.

A Brief Overview on What Will Be Covered:

How to cultivate presence, being with what is
How to bring attention to body signals in persons and yourself
How to create and maintain a safe sacred space between person and therapist
How to keep a person engaged in present moment experience
How to decode the unconscious beliefs that contribute to personal suffering in self and others

Led by Dr Maté, this experience will illuminate the submerged stories driving your life’s narrative. You’ll gain crucial insights into the often-overlooked factors influencing your emotions.

DRS JJ & DESIREE HURTAK

AWAKENING OUR SUPERCONSCIOUS MIND

We are truly multidimensional beings discovering that we have greater cognitive powers. Considering the reality of quantum physics and life being nonlocal, we are becoming aware that there is a direct linkage between us and all life forms. This talk is designed to guide and activate our nonlocal awareness which is a gateway to remote viewing, remote healing and remote influencing. This greater knowingness of who we are, helps to transform that which is around us into states of peace and harmony as we awaken to our superconscious mind. During this event, there will also be the understanding of how to initiate our ourselves through meditation into working more directly with greater dimensions of the Universal Mind.

LYNNE MCTAGGART

The Miraculous Mirror Effect

What if the greatest way to heal your own life is to send your healing to something or someone besides yourself?
For two decades, Lynne McTaggart, internationally bestselling author of the worldwide bestsellers The Field, The Intention Experiment and The Power of Eight, has been scientifically demonstrating the power of group intention, working with prestigious scientific teams on a range of large-scale Intention Experiments®, from purifying water, to lowering violence in ghettos or war-torn areas.
She’s also shown tens of thousands of small Power of Eight® groups how to harness their own latent capacities and utilize the collective dynamic and profound state of oneness that emerges to heal aspects of their own lives.
But the most shocking and untoward effect that Lynne has discovered is that large-scale and small group intention has a reciprocal Mirror Effect, not only transforming the recipient but also reflecting back on the senders themselves.
After participating in Intention Experiments®, one-third to one-half of attendees have healed their own long-standing serious health conditions, mended relationships, discovered a renewed life purpose or left workaday jobs for ones that are more fulfilling.
Lynne will share the latest extraordinary findings from her healing experiment for Washington D. C. last February, including the extraordinary effects on the participants. She’ll also delve into the power of altruism and the science behind why ‘other help’ is more powerfully effective than ‘self-help.’
During Lynne’s talk you’ll have an opportunity to experience this amazing dynamic for yourself, and discover why sending altruistic thoughts of healing in a group is a fast track to the miraculous.

BRUCE H LIPTON

CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION: THRIVING IN A WORLD OF CHANGE

Read the news, surf the Web, or look out your window, and you will observe that civilization is in a world of crises: From economic collapse to environmental decay, from social and political upheaval to climate change, from hunger, poverty, war, to even a global pandemic. Crisis ignites evolution! A scientific renaissance is shattering old myths and rewriting the story that will shape the future of human civilization. We are surrounded by evidence that we are on the threshold of a major evolutionary event, Conscious Evolution.

PURE HUMAN

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:

self-heal
regenerate damaged tissue in our bodies
access advanced states of resilience
supercharge our immune response
to awaken states of super memory, super cognition, super recall and much more.

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.
