A way to see Cymatics

sayr — Sat, 27 Dec 2003 11:32:51 GMT

To experiment with and observe Cymatics, there are so many ways to go about it. Unfortunately, the more advanced methods require expensive supplies.

Here is one easy and inexpensive way to check out Cymatics in action:

If you center a speaker under a hollowed out snare drum (aiming the speaker up) and then coat the drum-head with a thin layer of sand, you could resonate a tone (like a sustained note from a synth or something) through the speaker and up toward the layer of sand... it would act like a video projector aiming at a wall. You would need to adjust the distance (from speaker to sand) to bring the picture into focus and if the angle is off, the symmetry will be skewed, but either way, the grains of sand will vibrate and bounce along with the sound and create a mandala (which would most likely resemble the main picture for this tribe) If the sound ceases, the mandala disappears.

If you:
1. Really want to dork out... =)
2. Want to observe the different harmonics and which hexagram each harmonic overtone correlates with...
2. Are a little familiar with the synthesis of sound...
(and)
3. Have a synthesizer device (what's creating the sound) with a Resonant Filter (preferably LowPass) with an adjustable Frequency Cutoff...

... then you can turn up the Resonance and play with the Frequency Cutoff to key each particular harmonic.
As you sweep through the frequency band, opening and closing the filter (which will sound the progression of vowel sounds like a mouth opening and closing). You will hear different harmonic overtones come into audible focus as you simultaneously watch the individual hexagrams (outer and inner layers) pop out and become bolder.

I have yet to try this - I can't wait.

If any of you have tried it (or any other experiments of any related sort)... please share your stories and any additions or corrections you might have. Thanks!

The Sefer Yetrirah and the creation of 'flame letters'

Alexander — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 08:42:24 GMT

this interesting book has some very interesting overlapping waves with Cymatics...

Perhaps if we can 'carve' these three dimensional letter-forms into space through
an understanding of sound.

3d Tonoscope?!

volo — Sun, 09 May 2004 01:22:40 GMT

I went for a nice walk through the woods to go to the grocery store this afternoon, and a strange concept popped into my head, a tonoscope in 3 dimensions.

I pondered for a bit what the 3rd dimension would be if represented using the current tonoscope method. What would the third axis be? Perhaps moving the music/harmonic over a series of speakers, moving the sound in physical space?

That still leaves a problem: The fact that there is a huge (uh, infinite?) number of 2 dimensional tonoscope images contained within the shape. How would those be represented in the sonic plane?

I then realized that perhaps I was viewing the concept from the wrong angle. A 3d tonoscope would work by viewing the relation of particles to sound vibration in a 3d space. I saw a computer simulation of a room filled with "virtual particles" which reacted to a source. The source could be a few different things: A typical "speaker" source", a mathematical equation that produces a 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional shape that changes over time. The only thing is the room itself: infinite size? absorption of sound in the virtual walls?

I also thought of a relation between sound and colour, perhaps when a particle is "hit" by a certain wave, it could change to a colour based on the frequency that hit it?

Just thought I would spill out my afternoon brainstorm onto this wonderful tribe.

Dreaming the New World into Being

kathiew — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:26:02 GMT

Thursday, August 13 from 9:00-11:00 is a time I will focus my intent. It will find me a-dreaming of the new world again. We are in remarkable times this summer with powerful energy available for transforming if we choose to accept the invitation.
Current sustainability initiatives to salvage this “surface reality” dying world are not enough.
We must also realize that we are the dreamers and the co-creators. Our task is to dream. The new world we have to dream into being is like the Garden of Eden. This will be what sustains us and offers us all we need. It is possible to create it in our life time if enough people dream it.
Anastasia of the Ringing Cedars books gives us a clear vision of the joy and abundance of this new world: simply living and being in country garden settings with each other and nature. Yes to life!

Awakening

kathiew — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 06:12:25 GMT

August 5 is the full moon and the third eclipse in 5 weeks. This is a lunar eclipse. It is the quickening of our awakening, expanded consciousness…a life-altering, huge window of opportunity. As a time of powerful synchronicity and manifestation, I BE joy and gratitude as I sleep outside under the stars by my garden, talking to the whole universe, giving thanks as I assert what I am as the new world.
August 20 is the last of three Super New Moons in a row: empowered manifesting. I am joy and abundance. May we all shine on!

New levitation technique floats water with noise

Jahvan — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:02:20 GMT

Some musical shake, rattle and roll has led Belgian physicists to develop a new kind of levitation. It only works for tiny drops of liquid, but could provide a new way to handle biological or forensic samples without contaminating them.

Researchers at University of Liège, Belgium, set out to recreate the way water droplets spilt on speakers danced to the bass vibrations. They substituted a vibrating bath of oil for the speakers and released 1-millimetre-wide droplets of a less viscous oil on top.

Air cushion

When the oil in the bath vibrates with the right frequency - about 110 hertz - the droplets bounce and roll freely on an air cushion above it. Short video clips show levitated droplets rolling (2.7 mb .mov format) and bouncing (3.1mb .mov format). Videos courtesy Institute of Physics.

This happens because a droplet has to push the air beneath it out of the way in order to fall. But when the bath is vibrating at the right frequency, it creates a resonating layer of air over its surface that isn't pushed aside so easily.

The droplets bob around without touching the surface of the bath, at a height of between 150 nanometres and 1.5 centimetres.

"This is the first time this spontaneous rolling motion has been observed in this kind of system," says Stéphane Dorbolo, a member of the team who undertook the study. Making sure the vibrating bath was ten times more viscous than the droplets being levitated produced the best results. That ensures that the bouncing droplets do not create ripples on the oil's surface when they push down on the cushion of air holding them aloft.

The team also tried out their technique with water droplets over oil and achieved similar results. "This is a very convenient way to move droplets," says Tristan Gilet, also at Liège, pointing out that it will also work for liquids such as sweat, tears or chemicals dissolved in water.

Chemistry in a droplet

Bouncing droplets could even be made to collide with others containing laboratory reagents, for example, an acid or a dye. "You introduce another droplet to your fluid under test, they bounce together and eventually coalesce - you have a chemical reaction that occurs in this new big bouncing droplet," says Gilet.

Dealing with tiny samples usually involves the use of microfluidic chips with minuscule engraved channels. But cleaning them is difficult and it is not always easy to keep liquids separate until they are ready to be mixed. The bouncing droplets offer a way around these problems.

Richard Hill, a physicist at the University of Nottingham, UK, told New Scientist: "This technique will be very useful for manipulating liquids where only very small quantities of the fluid are obtainable, for example, in biosciences or forensics where it is extremely important to avoid contamination of the liquid."

Dorbolo is quick to point out that the bouncing levitation technique is far from perfected. Future research will include floating multilayered droplets with an oil coat surrounding a watery interior.

towards my self

w.i.m — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:53:28 GMT

I look at this post as a deep transition in my practice towards building a self. Since I'd like now to stick to one set of exercises, i want to have some points clarified - some points I can't find in past posts. I give you guys credit for raising. I take a step forward and don't want to spend more time trying to figure out what works for me.

The main technique i use is and will be for the next year the undoing exercises (dr. hyatt) - even though I red about a "third wave" wish I understood as being a sharpening of that kind of exercises (??). Then for what i'll combine with it (as purposed in the book) there is few issues that i'd like to discuss: brain wave entertainment, vippassana, gurdjieff's "i am" exercise, the "awakening kundalini" cd from brain-sync and some purposes you might have.

- BWE = neuro-programmer 2 : www.transparentcorp.com/products/np/
- vippassana : goenka's "ring of purification"...
- Gurdjieff "I am" exo : www.gurdjieff-internet.com/arti...s.php
- "Awakening kundalini" cd = combination of breathing exercises and BWE : www.brainsync.com/product.asp

First of all is there any value and then any way to combine the undoing exo with brain wave entertainment ?
maybe that could be a discussion about any purpose to use BWE at all combine with exercises that wasn't design for it.
But i'd like that we speak about the effects that the undoing exos are meant to have on the brain and thus brain waves...
Does anyone know what dr. Hyatt was thinking about BWE ?

Then, knowing that i did 2x 10days vippassana sitting, I'd like to know what results to expect from the combination of the "undoing" and vippassana, gurdjieff technique or brain-sync (or something else) - in order to chose the best one to stick to regarding how they work, the power they have, the skills they bring (focus flexibility, sensibility sharpening, mind balance, accelerated perception, and so on... or the ability to fly or to destroy the entire universe by closing your fist...), etc...

And what about BWE mixt with those techniques too ?

I think that we can start from there and see where it goes.

I'll post this thread on other communities to get random points of view. Please let me know if you see any community (tribe or not) where it could be interesting to discuss it.

Any advice or remark regarding this post are welcomed.

Sanskrit and Hebrew characters through cymatics?

Nathan — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 11:13:53 GMT

Hello Tribe, new to the group and new to cymatics. I've read much of the online information about cymatics and Hans Jenny. The most mysterious part about it all is Jenny's claim that the sanskrit and hebrew "vowels" would create their respecitve written symbols by using cymatics. I've seen lots of pictures of Jenny's research, but no photos of these symbols being created. Does anyone know a good source for these pictures on the internet? Do they even exist?

Frequencies and their effects......

DaveJolley — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 22:16:07 GMT

Got this from the Phat Conductor off a forum on the Ableton website....

Brainwave Frequency Listing

This is a listing of frequencies that various parties have claimed can affect the human mind or body in some way. The following sorts of frequencies are included :
• Brainwave Frequencies - These are frequencies associated with various mental states. Using brainwave entrainment, you can coax your brainwaves to a certain frequency, and in doing so, achieve the mental state associated with that frequency.
• "Healing" Frequencies - These are frequencies that various parties claim could be used to heal illnesses of different kinds, or stimulate some region of the body (chakras). The medium used to do this varies - some of these parties used devices that generated EM fields which were applied to a precise part of the body, while others used vibration and sound. (I don't have any experience with using EM fields - most of my personal toying about with this stuff uses a sound medium.)
• Natural Phenomena Frequencies - This includes natural frequencies that occur in nature [Schumann's Resonance, for instance], as well as sound tones calculated from the revolution/orbit of the various planets. The sources of these frequencies claimed that they could affect humans in a variety of ways.
The original page that I began building this compiled information from is
http://members.aol.com/networktcp/research/freq.htm
The information in green is from this original page. The information I've added is in violet. My personal comments are in light blue. Hyperlinked words have glossary definitions that you can access by clicking on them. To find the original source for any of this information [or where I got it, at least], check the letters in brackets at the end of the entry and refer to the bibliography. This is also where I'll give any indications about what medium the source for the information used (sound, light, EM fields, or vibrations). By default, assume it to be sound.
If you want to redistribute this, please include the Bibliography page as well -- the original sources deserve their reference. Also, please leave my introduction at the top as it is, along with my name, email, and URL.
Disclaimer : I wouldn't take everything you read on this list for granted. Some of it is verifiable by science -- and, there's probably a lot of new-agey crap as well. Although the mere fact some of it sounds new-agey in itself doesn't mean there isn't some truth to it. (The powers that be might have just been too imaginative naming it.)
Disclaimer #2 : Anything you do with the frequencies below is your personal risk - if you manage to burn out a couple of brain cells or harm yourself in some other way, I do not take any responsibility nor will I be held liable. (Just protecting my butt here.)

0.95 - 10 - Whiplash [AT]
1-3 - Delta: deep, dreamless sleep, trance state, non-REM sleep [??]; profound relaxation, restorative sleep, feelings of tranquility&peace, if one can remain aware [VUG via DW]
• There's disagreement over where the delta range begins & ends - [SS,PWM+AWI] list it as 0.5 to 4.0 HZ, [NEU] 0.1 to 3.0 HZ, & [RA] considers it 0.5 to 3.0 HZ.

Can lead to trance-like states. Theta strong during internal focus, meditation, prayer + spiritual awareness. Reflects state between wakefulness+ sleep. Relates to subconscious. Observed in anxiety, behavioral activation+behavioral inhibition. Promotes learning+memory when functioning normally. (I think they mean it helps you process what you've learned - if you tried to actively learn while in the theta state, I doubt you'd have success - but sometimes the theta state can give your subconscious a chance to chew the proverbial fat that you've learned during the day, and digest it.) Abnormal in awake adults, but seen in children up to 13 years old. Suppression of theta can help concentration/focus of attention. [CRI]
3.6 (a remedy for) anger & irritability [ESR]

Hypnopompic & Hypnagogic states [NSS via DW]; Military remote viewers operate in this range [RVX]
• Some disagreement over the theta range - [NEU] lists it as 3.0 to 8.0 HZ. [AWI] lists it as 4.0 to 8.0 HZ. [RA] & [PWB] both have it as 4.0 to 7.0. [DW] divides it into two ranges, Theta1 (3.0-5.5 hz) & Theta2 (5.5-8.0 hz).
4.0 - 8.0 HZ Theta State according to [AWI]+[VUG via DW] - present in dreaming sleep, deep meditation, storehouse of creative inspiration, spiritual connection, subconscious mind [AWI]; creative insight, twilight ("sleep") learning, vivid mental imagery. Found in advanced meditators [VUG via DW]

5.0 - 10.0 Relaxation [NEU]
5.14 Associated with stomach (Effects=Emotional Acceptance) [TOS]
5.35 Associated with lungs (Effects=Oxygen, Heat) [TOS]
5.5-8.0 "Theta2" frequency range : .. Consists of trains (long runs) of rhythmic frontal activity centering at 6.5-Hz with amplitudes reaching the 50-100 uV (micro-volt) range. .. Is induced in some people by the performance of a mental task such as mental arithmetic, tracing a maze, counting the number of cubes piled in a three-dimensional representation, & imaging a scene. .. More common in extroverts with low traits of neurosis & anxiety. Because Theta2 is associated with mental tasks & its influence is seen in evoked potential latencies, Mizuki (1987) believes that the appearance of Theta2 closely relates to mechanisms of attention or arousal. [DW]
5.5 - Moves beyond knowledge to knowing, shows vision of growth needed ; "Inner Guidance" [SS]; Inner Guidance, intuition, heat generation [EI-d]
5.8 (reduce) Fear, Absent-mindedness, Dizziness [ESR]

6.26-6.6 Hemispheric desync, confusion, anxiety, low Reaction Time, depression insomnia [SS]
6.30 Hz - Mental & astral projection [SS seconded this]; accelerated learning & increased memory retention.[??]; (reduce) Anger + Irritability [ESR]
6.5 - "Center" of Theta2 Brainwave Frequency Range [DW]; "Your frontal lobe, or brain entrainment of the two hemispheres is around 6.5 hz." [RA]
• I quoted the second entry from [RA] directly, due to its ambiguity. It probably ties into what the 5.5-8.0 HZ entry says above.
6.8 Possible use for muscle spasms [ESR] ; associated with telepathy / Schumann Resonance [DHA]
• [DHA] associated 6.8 HZ with the Schumann Resonance and the Alpha-Theta borderline. I think this is slightly off - most sources consider the lowest frequency of the Schumann Resonance to be 7.83 HZ, and that's also considered the borderline between Theta brainwave and Alpha brainwaves.
6.88 Associated with collarbones (Effects=vitality, overall balance, stability) [TOS]
7.0 - 8.0 For healing purposes, like laying of hands by a healer, or self vizualization in a healing situation [RA]; Treatment of Addictions [DW]

7.5 - Inter-awareness of self & purpose; guided meditation; creative thought for art, invention music, etc.; contact with spirit guides for direction; entry into meditation [MB]; At 7.5 HZ subjects who before suffered from confused thinking reported an ease at finding solutions to troublesome problems after a re-evaluation was conducted. [NYT via NEU]; (?) Earth magnetic field frequency, useful theta (brain) waves frequency [TB]
7.5 - 8 For Treating Alcohol + Drug Addiction - This range of frequencies tells a person they're satisfied, which is "missing" in addictive personalities [RA]
7.69 Associated with shoulders (Effects=strength of the arms, expansion, teaching) [TOS]
7.8 Schumann Resonance (see 7.83 HZ), ESP activation [EI-d]; Doyere's group (1993), found that short high frequency bursts at 7.7 Hz induced LTP in prefrontal cortex, though only for one day. [AA via DW]
7.8-8 Stimulates ESP, paranormal [SS]
7.83 - Earth Resonance, grounding [×], "Schumann Resonance." [TS, ESR+HSW, MAG]; anti-jetlag, anti-mind control, improved stress tolerance [SS]; psychic healing experiments [ESR]; pituitary stimulation to release growth hormone (helps develop muscle, recover from injuries, rejuvenation effects) [HSW]; Earth Resonance Frequency - 'leaves you feeling revitalized like you've spent a day in the country.' [PWM via DW]; reports of accelerated healing/enhanced learning - "the earth's natural brainwave" [MAG]
• [HSW] notes that higher octaves of the 7.83 Schumann Resonance can also stimulate the pituitary in the same way that 7.83 HZ can - especially 31.32 HZ. (One needs to be careful to distinguish between octaves of the 7.83 Schumann Resonance, and the other six Schumann Resonances, which are not higher octaves of 7.83 HZ.)
8-8.6 Reduced Stress/Anxiety [SS]
8.0-10.0 learning new information [MH]; Alpha - Rapid Refreshment 15 min [NEU]; "LOW ALPHA" inner-awareness of self, mind/body integration, balance [CRI]
8.0-12.0 - Alpha range (per NEU, RA, PWM, NSS & CRI) - light relaxation, "super learning", positive thinking. [NEU]; Conducive to creative problem solving, accelerated learning, mood elevation, stress reduction, etc., characterized by intuitive insights, creative "juice", inspiration, motivation, daydreams etc. Relaxed, yet alert [PWM via DW]; Associated with calm, relaxed, unfocused (not concentrating), lucid mental states, dream sleep & pleasant drifting feelings or emotions. [NSS via DW] ; promotes mental resourcefulness, aids in mental coordination, enhances relaxation, "Can move quickly + efficiently to accomplish whatever task is at hand.", feelings of "at ease" + calm, promotes good moods, a bridge between conscious + subconscious, alpha waves indicate a person is alert but not actively processing information, seen more in extroverts than introverts, seen during creative problem solving [CRI]
• As you can see, different sources contradict each other. Some paint Alpha as a range of relaxed attentiveness, ideal for learning. Others associate it with "daydreaming" [which doesn't sound like it would be good for learning]. Unless they're not talking the "attentive" sort of learning [i.e. sitting in a classroom taking notes], but rather the "trying to assemble it all together in our heads" sort of learning, where our subconscious is doing most of the work in the background, and our conscious mind takes a backseat. I see the Alpha range as the fine line between daydreaming and alertness. It's like a baseball player on a base - he'll move away from the base, so that he can steal if the opportunity presents itself. But he always stays close enough to the base so he can get back in case the pitcher throws the ball to the baseman. Alpha Range is the same way - it's close enough to the "attentive" mental state for us to go to it as needed. But we can also quickly retreat into the realm of sleep if need be. [MPT]
8-13 - Alpha range - Non-drowsy but relaxed, tranquil state of consciousness, primarily with pleasant inward awareness; body/mind integration. ; Amplifies dowsing, empty-mind states, detachment, daydreams, mind/body integration. (can cause) epilectic seizures [SS];
• Note : [NEU], [RA], [PWM], [NSS] + [CRI] consider the alpha range to be 8.0-12.0. [AWI] considers it 9.0-14.0. [VUG] has it as 9.0-13.0.
8-14 - Qi Gong and infratonic Qi Gong machine [QG]
8.0 - Past life regression [×]; More Lymphocytes, DNA repair (RAD-6) [SS]; Associated with Base/Muladhara chakra (Color=Red) (Body Parts=Adrenals, Spinal Column, Kidneys) (Effects=Physical energy, will to live)(Note=C) [OML]

8.6-9.8 Induces sleep, tingling sensations [SS]
9.0, 11.0, 16.0 [bad] documented calcium ion migration (brain tissue) [SS]
• There's some disagreement over whether these frequencies offer anything to fear when used for binaural beats. Here's the thread from the Brainwave Generator message board : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bwgen/message/4592
9.0 - 13.0 - Alpha Range (according to [VUG]) - relaxed, not thinking about anything in particular, sometimes a pleasurable feeling of "floating". Often dominant in certain kinds of meditation, alpha waves have for the past twenty years been associated with calm, lucid mental states (the "alpha state"). They're also often detected during dream sleep. This pattern typically occurs in daydreaming, relaxed awareness, guided or focused imagery & smoothly rhythmic athletic activity. There's often a euphoric, effortless feeling of "flow" as the doer is absorbed in activity and subject + object are felt to be united. [VUG via DW]
9.0 - 14.0 Alpha range (according to [AWI]) - Relaxed & detached awareness, visualization, sensory imagery, light reverie. Also, gateway to meditation - provides bridge between the conscious & subconscious mind. [AWI]
9.0 - Awareness of causes of body imbalance & means for balance[×] Blind person phantom touch reading (somatosensory cortex) [RA]; Associated with Sacral/Svadhisthana chakra (Color=Orange) (Body Parts=Gonads, Reproductive System) (Effects=Relationships/Sexuality) (Note=D) [OML]
9.19 Associated with upper lip (Effects=emotions, conflict resolution) [TOS]
9.4 Major frequency used for prostate problems. [ESR] - Self-explanatory. =)
9.41 - Pyramid frequency (outside) (I can't find a good definition of "Pyramid Frequency". Anybody?)
9.5-10 - Center of Alpha Range - The brain's scanning/idling frequency - indicating a brain standing by, waiting to "give way to beta should attention be required, or be the bridge, the gate, to Theta & Delta for drowsiness, sleep, and certain cognitive challenges. [DW]
• He gives credit for the 'brain scanning' factoid to Eccles & Walter (1950). (It was their conclusion.)
9.6 - Mean dominant frequency associated with earth's magnetic field [EQ]; Facial Toning [ESR] (I'm not completely sure what "facial toning" is.. Anybody?)
9.8-10.6 Alertness [SS]
10 - enhanced release of serotonin & mood elevator, universally beneficial, use to try effects of other mixes [MB]. Acts as ananalgesic, safest frequency, especially for hangover & jet lag. [EQ] Meg Patterson used for nicotine withdrawal. [MB3] dominant alpha frequency, clarity, normalcy, anti-convulsant, circadian rhythm resync, activate kidneys, raise body temp, more serotonin [SS]; Good when trying to correlate information by the subconscious - Sort of a waiting frequency while the subconscious does the work at lower frequencies.

10.2 Catecholamines
10.3 Associated With Nasal Passages (Effects=breathing, taste) [TOS]
10.5 - Frequency for healing of body, mind/body unity, firewalking [×]; potent stabilizer & stimulating for the immunity, valuable in convalescence. [MB] Relaxed alertness, contemplation, body healing, mind over matter [SS] Lowering Blood Pressure [RA+PWM via DW]; Associated with Heart/Anahata chakra (Color=Green) (Body Parts=Thymus, Heart, Blood, Circulatory System) (Effects=Love of Life, love of self&others) (Note=F) [OML]

10.7 Associated with ears (Effects=hearing, formal concepts) [TOS]
11.0 (& Below) - Stress Reduction (DW)
11-14 Focused alertness [SS]
11.0 (used to) achieve "relaxed yet alert" states. [PWM]
11.5-14.5 An implication for neurotherapy is that if increased intelligence + mental efficiency is the objective, then a frequency band with a 13-Hz center should be used. A more desirable frequency band than 12 to 15-Hz is 11.5 to 14.5-Hz. [DW]
12.0 - Centering, doorway to all other frequencies [×] ; frequency of earth resonance (Hercules - a researcher); Centering, mental stability, transitional point, time seems faster [SS]; To stimulate mental clarity [ESR]; Associated with Throat/Vishuddha chakra (Color=Blue) (Body Parts=Thyroid, Lungs, Vocal Cords) (Effects=Expression/self in society)(Note=G) [OML]
12.0-36.0 Beta Range [per CRI] - dominant brainwave in alert/awake/anxious adults with their eyes open. Comes into play when "listening & thinking during analytical problem solving, judgment, decision making, processing information about the world around us." [CRI]
12.0-14.0 Learning Frequency - Good for absorbing information passively, when you plan to think about it later. [RA]
• [RA] distinguishes between active studying where you're processing information & passive studying where you're just trying to absorb information + plan to think about it later. For the former, he suggests 36 to 44 HZ.
12.0-15.0 Beta (low) - relaxed focus, improved attentive abilities [NEU+CRI]; Treating Hyperactivity [RA] ; Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR) - Used in the treatment of mild autism [AUT via DW]
12.3 Associated with eyes (Effects=Visualization) [TOS]
13-27 - Beta Range (according to [NSS]) - Associated with focused attention towards external stimuli, alert mental activity, normal waking consciousness, & active thought processes. [NSS via DW]
13-30 - Beta Range - Normal wakefulness, the taking in & evaluating of various forms of data received through the senses. It's present with worry, anger, fear, hunger & surprise. [×] Waking state, motivation, outer awareness, survival, problem solving, arousal, dendrite growth, combats drowsiness [SS]; Conscious Thinking, Autonomic Processes & Emotions [EH]
• [NSS] considers Beta to be 13-27 HZ, [AWI] considers it 14-38 HZ, [PWM] & [RA] consider it 13-40 HZ, and [VUG] (seems to) consider it 14-30 HZ. [CRI] lists it as either 12-36 or 14-36 - it contradicts itself in different parts of the article.
• [NEU] breaks up Beta into ranges - Low Beta=12-15 HZ, Mid Beta=15-18 HZ, & High Beta=18.0+ HZ. [CRI] does as well.
13-40 Beta Range (according to [RA] + [PWM]) - a high frequency pattern, conducive to stimulating energy + action; most of our current institutionalized education is beta geared, characterized by logical, analytical, intellectual thinking, verbal communication, etc. [PWM via DW]
13.0 - Alleged sphincter resonance (mechanical)(not good) [TB]; Associated with Brow/Ajna chakra (Color=Indigo/Violet) (Body Parts=Pituitary,Lower Brain, Left Eye, Ears, Nose, Nervous System)(Effects=Visualization, Conceptualization)(Note=A) [OML]
13.8 - Associated with Frontal Lobes (Effects=the seventh sense, final decision) [TOS]
14-16 - associated with sleep spindles on EEG during second stage of sleep [EQ] [note SS said 10-14]
14-15 - Slows conditioned reflexes [SS]
14.0-30.0 - Beta Range (?I think? according to VUG) - This pattern is optimal for intense mental activities such as calculations, linear logical analyses & other highly structured functions [VUG via DW]
14.0 - Awake & alert [??]; Alert focusing, vitality, concentration on tasks [SS?]; Schumann Resonance (2nd of 7 frequencies. 7.83 HZ being the first) [TS+HSW]; Intelligence Enhancement in conjunction with 22.0 HZ (medium=audio-visual stimulation) [APE]
• [APE] used audio-visual stimulation alternating between 14 & 22 HZ. Check the link under [APE]'s bibliography entry for more information.
14.1 "Earth Resonance" [SS]; Earth Harmonics - accelerated healing [EI-d] (probably tied to Schumann Resonance above.)
15.0-18.0 Beta (mid) - increased mental ability, focus, alertness, IQ [NEU+CRI]; "alert but not agitated"/"aware of self & surroundings" [CRI]';
15-24 Euphoria [SS]
• I will vouch for this one - I find binaurally produced tones between 18 HZ & 21 HZ have very pleasant results, in a jogger's high sort of way. This effect seems the strongest around 20 HZ. While other sources equate this frequency range with stress, I'm thinking it might be like the roar of a car engine - in small doses, it can be quite a rush, but too much of it can lead to a headache. The serotonin system is funny like that. [MPT]
15 - chronic pain [MB]; Sound which bypasses the ears for sublimination (auditory cortex) [RA]; Associated with Crown/Sahasrara chakra (Color=Violet/White) (Body Parts=Pineal, Upper Brain, Right Eye)(Effects=Integration of personality & spirituality.)(Note=B) [OML]; capillary formation, fibroblast proliferation, decreased skin necrosis [NOR]

• [INT] + [DW] seem to contradict each other here.
18.0+ Beta (high) - fully awake, normal state of alertness, stress & anxiety [NEU]; Significant improvements in memory, reading & spelling are reported (in conjunction with 10 HZ) [RUS via DW]; (used to) improve hyperactive behavior [PWM via DW]; Associated with mental activity like math + planning - alert, but may also be agitated [CRI]
20-30 Phospene imagery, peak luminosity in visual field [SS]

20.215 LSD-25 [PSI] (he implies it could mimic the effects of)
20.3 "Earth Resonance" [SS]
• Probably the same thing as the Schumann Resonance at 20 HZ.
22.0 Used in conjunction with 14 HZ for intelligence enhancement (medium=audio-visual stimulation)[APE]; Used in conjunction with 40 HZ for 'out of body' travel [EWI via DW]; Also used with 40 HZ for psychic healing. [FAH via DW]
• [APE] used audio-visual stimulation alternating between 14 and 22 HZ. Check the link under [APE]'s bibliography entry for more information.
22.027 Serotonin [PSI] (he's unclear what he means by this)
25.0 Bypassing the eyes for images imprinting (visual cortex) [RA]; Tested clinically with patients who complain of anxiety [PGS via DW]
26.0 Schumann Resonance (4th frequency of 7) [TS+HSW];
26.0 - 28.0 Astral Projection / produced during meditation by some [ANO]
26.4 "Earth Resonance" [SS]
27 - 44 Frequency range that cats purr at - said to have restorative effects on the body, particularly the 'healing and strengthening of bones' [BON]
27.5 lowest note on a piano [MP2]
30 Meg Patterson used for marijuana. [MB3]
30 - 60 Gamma Range - little known but includes decision making in a fear situation, muscle tension, [EH]
• [INT] considers Gamma to start at 40 HZ.
30 - 190 Lumbago [AT]
30-500 High Beta: Not associated currently with any state of mind. Some effects have been observed, but currently not enough research has been done in this area, to prove, or disprove, anything.; a few people able to replicate at will (?? - not sure what that last point means)
• Starting at 30 HZ, sources begin to seriously disagree over what the names of each range are.
• [EH] considers 30 to be the beginning of the Gamma range, which it believes run to 60. It then considers 60 to 120 to be the Lambda range.
• Incidentally, [INT] believes that 40 is where Beta ends & Gamma begins.
31.32 Pituitary stimulation to release growth hormone (helps develop muscle, recover from injuries, rejuvenation effects) (this is a higher octave of the 7.83HZ Schumann Resonance) [HSW]
• Note - NOT one of the seven Schumann Resonances - it's a higher octave of the 7.83 HZ Schumann Resonance. I had originally thought it was related somehow to the Schumann Resonance at 33 HZ, and I was wrong. (Sorry.)
32 Desensitizer; enhanced vigour & alertness [MB]
33 Christ consciousness, hypersensitivity, Pyramid frequency (inside) ; Schumann Resonance (5th frequency of 7) [TS]
• Funky coincidence it lines up with the Christ Consciousness & Pyramid frequency, eh? I've had some interesting results with this one -- particularly when I overlap waves at 9.0 HZ (pyramid outside frequency). The mind tends to wander in funny ways.
35 - 150 Fractures [AT]
35 - 193 Arthralgy [AT]
35 Awakening of mid-chakras, balance of chakras
36 - 44 Learning Frequencies, When [Actively] Studying Or Thinking. Helps To Maintain Alertness. Waking Operating State [RA]; Frequencies of the olfactory bulb, prepiriform cortex & amygdala [DSH via DW]; Coordinates simultaneous processing of information in different areas of the brain. Associated with high-level information processing. 'A good memory is associated with well-regulated & efficient 40 HZ activity, whereas a 40 HZ deficiency creates learning disabilities.' [CRI]
38 Endorphin release [WL]
39.0 Schumann Resonance [6th frequency of 7] [TS]
40-60 anxiolytic effects & stimulates release of beta-endorphines [MB]
43 - 193 Carcinomatosis [AT]
40.0 - dominant when problem solving in fearful situations. [EQ] ; Gamma - associated with information-rich task processing & high-level information processing [NEU]; "'For scientists who study the human brain, even its simplest act of perception is an event of astonishing intricacy. 40 Hz brain activity may be a kind of binding mechanism', said Dr. Rodolfo Llinas a professor of neuroscience at New York University. Llinas believes that the 40-cycle-per-second wave serves to connect structures in the cortex where advanced information processing occurs, and the thalamus, a lower brain region where complex relay & integrative functions are carried out." [NME via NEU]; Used in conjunction with 22 HZ for 'out of body' travel [EWI via DW]; Also used with 22 HZ for psychic healing. [FAH via DW]; "40--Hz activity varies from 38.8 to 40.1-Hz, regardless of the electrode site. The average frequency is in the ~39.5-Hz range. In summary, when the body is profoundly relaxed & the mind is in a state of high focus and concentration, 20 & 40-Hz brain activity can be seen in the raw and quantitative EEG of some subjects. It is possible that 18 to 22-Hz Beta & possibly 40-Hz neurofeedback training may help create a "relaxed body/focused mind" state of consciousness." [DW]; Activity in the ectosylvian & lateral cortex, medial geniculate, reticular formation, center median thalamus & hippocampus [ROW via DW]; Confirming Sheer et al.'s work,compared the EEG of middle- & high-I.Q. subjects during mental multiplication activity. A 40-Hz rhythm occurred just prior to the subject's answering the question. Forty--Hz pulses are thought to lead to synchronization + coordination of neurons assigned to the processing of incoming sensory stimulation. Put in "computerese," 40-Hz may be the brain's "operating system" frequency [GIA via DW] Involved In The Processing Of Psi Information (see note) [EMC]
• Considered the dividing point between beta waves + gamma waves, although there's some disagreement about this. [INT] http://brain.web-us.com/40hz/default.htm
• Gamblers were presented a computer screen with four playing cards shown on them, and then asked to guess which of the four cards would appear on the screen by itself next. Their guessing was about as accurate as random chance, BUT when they had their eyes on the correct card that would inevitably turn up, the amount of 40HZ activity registering in their brain was higher. Go here for more information: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bwgen/message/3668
45.0 Schumann Resonance (7th frequency of 7)[TS]
46.98 - Useful for "weird effects" (use with 62.64 HZ and 70.47 HZ) [TB]
• [TB] gets the award for most ambiguous description. Although, I'm including it since it's a very specific frequency. I'll research it further and try to dig up some additional information.
50-60 Documented negative effects too numerous to mention There is no correlation given with signal strength or modality used, i.e. audio-visual, EMF, magnetic, electrostatic, gravitic. Also, most ELF research is now Govt classified, particularly since the mid-1960's when Hamer discovered behavioral effects as the result of applied sinusoidal field gradients as low as 4 volts. [SS via DW]
50.0 - dominant frequency of polyphasic muscle activity, mains electrical in U.K. [EQ]; Slower cerebral rhythms [??]
55.0 - Tantric yoga; stimulates the kundalini. [×]
60 - 120 Lambda Range - Little known but includes central nervous system activity [EH]

82.3 Associated with bladder (higher octave of 2.57 HZ) [TOS]
83 Third eye opening for some people
85.5 Associated with intestines (higher octave of 2.67 HZ) [TOS]
90.0 - 111.0 Pleasure-producing beta-endorphins rise between these frequencies. [PSI]
• In the MIDI scale, the notes that would fall in this range begin with F#3 and go up to A3. ["A3" being the fourth octave up -- since there's an A0, and A1, A2 lower than it.] Playing the F#3 and the A3 as a chord seems to function as a good painkiller. An additional undertone in the alpha range of frequencies sometimes helps too. [Try adding a tone around 12.5 HZ].
90.0 Good feelings, security, well-being, balancing [??]
95.0-125.0 Acoustical Resonances of Assorted Ancient Structures [ACS via DW]
95.0 Use for pain along with 3040 HZ [ESR]
98.4 Associated with hara (3cm or 1.5 inch below navel, balance of pelvis) (higher octave of 3.07 HZ) [TOS]
100 Can help with pain [used with electrical stimulation] [CMP]

126.22 - Sun, 32nd octave of Earth year [HC]; The Frequency Of The Sun (Note=C) (Color=Green) (Tempo=118.3 BPM) (Chakra=Manipura, also called Hara {associated with Navel & 3rd lumbar vertebrae}) (Effects=advances the feeling of centering of magic & of the transcendental) [HC/Planetware website]
• There seems to be a little disagreement between [HC] & [HC/Planetware] over what exactly this is the frequency of - [HC] ties this into the period it takes the earth to revolve around the sun, while [HC/Planetware] says this is the frequency it would take an imaginary planet to orbit the outside edge of the sun. My money is on the second, since there is another frequency that is given for the Earth year. (136.1 HZ)
• This is tricky to paraphrase, so here it is as it appeared on the Planetware website :
"Meditation carried out to this tone will lead to state beyond good and bad, shame and guilt, beyond space and time, knowledge and wisdom, action and rest an being and not-being. It leads to a state where being has no name, to a state where the all-one and the all encompassing are no longer separate entities but are reunited at their one common origin, the origin that is also you."
132.0 Associated with kidneys (Effects=strength) (higher octave of 4.11 HZ) [TOS]; Associated with coccyx (small triangular bone at end of the spinal column) (higher octave of 2.06 HZ) [TOS]
136.1 Sun: light, warmth, joy, animus [RV]; Resonates with the earth year (Note=C#) (Color=Turqouise Green) (Effects=calming, meditative, relaxing, centering) [PSI]; Period it takes earth to revolve around sun (Tempo=63.8*127.6) (Chakra=Anahate/Heart chakra)(Effects=relaxing, soothing, balancing, harmony with the cosmos, associated with the soul {"frequency of the soul}) (Medicinal=Sedative) (Other=significant tone in Indian music {called it the "sadja" or "father to others" - it was a keynote} - corresponds to "OM" & the Christian "AMEN") [HC/Planetware website]
• Note : [PSI] seems to disagree a bit with the original source on the list. [PSI] says this one calms/centers, while the original source seems to associate it with happiness. Also some disagreement between [RV] and [HC/Planetware], once associating this with the sun, and the other associating this with the frequency with the earth year. I suppose you could associate the earth year with the sun, since it's the time it takes the earth to go around the sun, but 126.22 HZ uses "frequency of the sun" in a little different context. See the comments with that frequency for more.
140.25 Pluto: power, crisis & changes [??]; Frequency associated with the orbit of Pluto; (Note=C#) (Color=blue-green) (Tempo=65.7 * 131.4 BPM) (Effects = support the magic group dynamic principle and is said to be responsible for integration into certain structures of society) [HC/Planetware website]
141.27 Mercury: intellectuality, mobility [??]; Frequency associated with orbit of Mercury (Note=C# or D) (Color=blue-green or blue) (Tempo=66.2) (Chakra=Vishudda/Throat chakra) (Effects=Supports speech center and communicative-intellectual principle, associated with communication and cleverness) [HC/Planetware]
• [HC/Planetware] says the frequencies of planets revolving around the sun are less important than those of the moon, sun, and Earth.
• Again, I'm not sure how [HC/planetware] is associating these frequencies with these chakras. {shrugs}
• A discrepancy in the note and color - they're both given twice - once as C# and blue-green, the second time as D and blue.
• [HC/Planetware] and [BH] seem to associate different frequencies with the revolutions of each planet - these frequencies are determined by HC/Planetware by taking higher octaves of the actual period - octaves that are in the audible range. [BH] might use even higher octaves than [HC/Planetware] does, or some other method completely.
144.0 (helps with) headaches (Medium=pad)[JB]
144.72 Mars: activity, energy, freedom, humor [??] ; Frequency associated with the orbit of Mars (Note=D) (Color=blue) (Tempo=67.8 * 135.6 BPM) (Effect : Supports strength of will and focused energy, ability for achievement) [HC/Planetware]

147.0 Associated with the spleen/blood (Effects=Emotional Impulse) (higher octave of 4.6 HZ) [TOS]; Associated with genitals (higher octave of 2.30 HZ) [TOS]
147.85 Saturn: separation, sorrow, death [??]; Frequency associated with orbit of Saturn (Note=D) (Color=Blue) (Tempo=69.3 * 138.6 BPM) (Effects=enhances concentration and the process of becoming conscious + shows very clearly karmic connections, brings structure and order - is considered to be a cosmic controller) [HC/Planetware]
• I'm not completely sure what the dual tempo means. I'll have to research that further.
160.0 Appears to be involved in stimulating 5-hydroxytryptamine production, with 80 Hz. [EQ]; Use for rapid relief from headaches [ESR]; used on sinus infection/head cold [RS]
164.3 Frequency associated with Gall Bladder [Note=E] [BH1][BH4]
165.0 Associated with stomach (Effects=Emotional Acceptance) (higher octave of 5.14 HZ) [TOS]; Associated with bladder (higher octave of 2.57 HZ) [TOS];
165.0-170.0 Spiritual fall/consciousness collapse [JM]
• [JM] said to avoid between 165.0 HZ to 170 HZ, "although the repercussions extend for a ways on either side of that." He's not completely clear why he feels this particular range should be avoided. (He had said he'd go into more detail when Awakening Mind II is released.)
171.0 Associated with lungs (Effects=Oxygen, Heat) (higher octave of 5.35 HZ) [TOS]; Associated with intestines (higher octave of 2.67 HZ) [TOS]
172.06 - Resonates with the Platonic year {about 26,000 years} (Note=F) (Color=purple-violet) (Effects=joyful, cheerful, spiritual effect) [PSI]; The Frequency Of The Platonic Year (Color=red-violet {purple}) (Tempo=80.6 BPM) (Chakra=Sahasrar/Crown chakra) (Effects=cheerfulness, clarity of spirit, cosmic unity on highest levels) (Medicinal=antidepressive) (Other=F is considered the tone of the spirit, and had a lot of significance to the Chinese) [HC/Planetware website]
• Other sources [PM] disagree about the tone F being associated with the Crown chakra, which is how HC/Planetware connects this frequency to the crown chakra. [PM] considers the crown chakra to be associated with the B note, and not F.
176.0 - Frequency associated with the colon. [Note=F or F#] [BH1][BH4]
183.58 - Jupiter: growth, success, justice, spirituality [??] ; Frequency associated with the orbit of Jupiter (Note=F#) (Color=Red) (Tempo=86.05 * 172.1 BPM) (Effects : supports creative power and continuous construction) (Associated with Jupiter : Generosity, Continuity, Magnanimity, Joviality) [HC/planetware website]
185.0 - (used on) sinus infection/head cold [RS]
187.61 frequency of "moon culmination" ; [HC/planetware website]
194.18 frequency of Synodic "Earth" Day {the "day tone"} (Note=G) (Color=Orange Red) (Tempo=91.0 BPM) (Chakra=Muladhar/Base chakra) (Effects = dynamic, vitalizing)(Medicinal="tonifies") (Other="weather determining" spheric frequency, influences proteins, brings one into harmony with nature") [HC/planetware website]
• Note : By "weather determining", [HC/planetware] seems to imply that somebody tuned into this frequency may be able to predict the weather in the short-term future. I'm just a little, little bit skeptical of this one, but if anybody has any luck with it, let me know.
• I'm not sure how [HC/planetware] is associating these chakras to these frequencies. It doesn't seem to be based on the note, since G isn't the note typically associated with the base chakra [per PM]. The associations might tie in with something astrological instead. {shrugs}.
194.71 - Earth: stability, grounding [??]; Key Of G resonates with frequency of earth day, the color orange-red, & has a dynamic, stimulating, and energizing effect on the body-mind. [PSI]
• There seems to be some disagreement between [PSI] and the original source for this list. [PSI] associates this frequency with energizing, while the original source associates it with stability/grounding.
• I think this one, and the one right below it [197.71 HZ] might be based on the same thing. One source might have done a typo, and then other sources based their information from that.
197.0 Associated with heart (Effects=love,warmth) (higher octave of 6.15) [TOS]; Associated with hara (3cm or 1.5 inch below navel, balance of pelvis) (higher octave of 3.07 HZ) [TOS]
197.71 frequency of Sideric Day ; [HC/planetware website]
207.36 - Uranus: spontaneity, independence, originality [??]; Frequency associated with orbit of Uranus {insert one of dozens of bad jokes here} (Note=G#) (Color=Orange) (Tempo = 97.2 BMP) (Effects = supports the power of surprise and renewal, has primeval and erotic power) [HC/planetware website]
210.42 frequency of Synodic Moon (Note=G#) (Color=orange) (Tempo=98.6 BPM) (Chakra=Svadisthan {2nd Chakra}) (Effects=stimulates sexual energy, supports erotic communication) (Medicinal=regulation of menstruation, disturbances in the gland and lymph system) [HC/planetware website]
211.44 - Neptune: the unconscious, secrets, imagination, spiritual love [??]; frequency associated with orbit of Neptune (Note=G#) (Color=orange) (Tempo=99.1 BPM) (Effects = supports intuition, the unconsciousness, and enhances the dream experience) [HC/planetware website]

280.5 Frequency associated with orbit of Pluto [Note=C#] [BH2]
281.0 - Frequency associated with Intestines [Note=C#] [BH1]

289.4 - Frequency associated with orbit of Mars. [Note=D] [BH2]
293.0 - "unknown" Chakra (1:14) (Note=D+) (Saturn Orbit 296) [BH3]
• I take it by D+, she means a note somewhere between D and D#. A quarter note, perhaps. [MPT]
294.0 - Associated with the upper lip (Effects=emotions, conflict resolution) (higher octave of 9.19 HZ) [TOS]; Associated with the spleen/blood (Effects=Emotional Impulse) (higher octave of 4.6 HZ) [TOS]

310.7 - Frequency associated with spin of Neptune (Note=Eb) [BH2]

330.0 Used to treat allergies in conjunction with 3 HZ [RS]
333.0 (used on) sinus infection/head cold [RS]
332.8 - Frequency associated with orbit of Sun (Note=E) [BH2]
• When [BH2] says the "orbit of the sun", I believe she means how long it would take an imaginary planet to orbit around the sun's outer boundary [circumfrence]. This is how [HC/planetware] made this calculation - the period is then lowered a few octaves to get it into the audible sound range. That's how [HC/planetware] does most of its calculations, and probably how [BH] does it as well. [HC/planetware], when lowering [or in the case of planets raising] the octave, seems to gun for lower tones than [BH] does. The [HC/planetware] tones would be a little "bassier". Which is probably why the frequencies of all these astronomical phenomena that [HC/planetware] gives doesn't line up with the frequencies that [BH] gives.
336.0 - Frequency associated with Molybdenum (mineral nutrient) [BH]
341.0 - Heart Chakra (1:12) (Note=F) [BH3] [MWH]
• [MWH] had the Heart Chakra at 341.3, if you want to nitpick.
342.0 - Associated with ears (Effects=hearing, formal concepts) (higher octave of 13.8 HZ) [TOS]; Associated with lungs (Effects=Oxygen, Heat) (higher octave of 5.35 HZ) [TOS]
352.0 - Frequency associated with bladder. (Note=F) [BH1][BH4]; Thymus Chakra (11:1) (Note=F#) [BH3]
• There seems to be a discrepancy here as to which note this frequency is. [BH] cites both F and F#. [MPT]
360.0 - The "Balance Frequency" - brings sensations of joy and healing / derived from the Golden Section / brings balance to health / (per NASA astronauts) the Earth creates a 360 HZ tone in space.) [EI]

420.82 - Moon: love, sensitivity, creativity, femininity, anima
421.3 - Frequency associated with orbit of moon (Note=Ab) [BH2]; Also associated with spin of Mercury, but here, she lists the Note as "A" [BH2].
422.8 - Frequency associated with orbit of Neptune (Note=Ab) [BH2]
424.0 - (used on) Fatigue (medium=pad) [JB]; Frequency associated with Iodine (mineral nutrient) (Note=Ab) [BH]
426.7 - Brow Chakra (Note=A) [MWH]
• [MWH] calls this A, but it's flatter than the A of Western Music at 440 HZ. One could justifiably call it Ab. It's probably closer to Ab than it is to A.
430.8 - Frequency associated with spin of Uranus (Note=Ab) [BH2]
**438 - Indigo [PL?] (!!!) - See Glossary entry "COLOR"
439.0 - Crown Chakra (Note=A? B?) [MWH]
• For the modern diatonic scale, this would be an A note. [MWH] calls it a B note on their website. I'm not sure if they're perhaps basing this on some older scale. The frequencies that notes exist at have changed over the years.
440 - A (musical note) [PL?] ; Associated with Frontal Lobes (Effects=the seventh sense, final decision) (higher octave of 13.8) [TOS]; Associated with collarbones (Effects=vitality, overall balance, stability) (higher octave of 6.88 HZ) [TOS]
441.0 - The King's Chamber Frequency - acts towards preservation and equilibrium [EI]
• Per [EI]'s website, "Play a 441 HZ tone in a chaotic room and people will find themselves mellowing down." I -dare- somebody to actually test this and see if it holds any water.

448.0 - Third Eye Chakra (14:1) (Note=A) [BH3]

500.0 - (used to treat) Anthrax (medium=tube) [JB]
• Disclaimer!! - If you legitly think you have anthrax, do NOT rely on my stupid frequency chart. Go see a doctor. However, if you do want to tinker around, this frequency was used as an EM field, not a sound. I'm not sure if it would work as a sound. Use at your own risk. (That goes for the other anthrax/smallpox frequencies too.)
520.0 - (used on) Headaches (medium=pad) [JB]
522.0 - (used on) sinus infection/head cold [RS]

Has anybody out there made a working model?

Greetings!

neekos — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 12:25:55 GMT

I am new here.. And am just learning about these concepts for the first time, kind of...

I've made music for years and years... electronically..

And have been guided here to learn more about healing and energy patterns in general.

I can't wait to get stuck in, but have much to do before I can.

I was just reading a couple of posts and sayr mentioned an oscilloscope.. I don't have one.. even in software...

Can anyone recommend a good software scope?
or somewhere to buy a real life one for a decent price?

cheers and frothy beers,

Cat Purr healing.....

DaveJolley — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 22:08:31 GMT

Liberally copied and pasted from a website which I can't remember right now.....

The Felid Purr: A bio-mechanical healing mechanism
Presented at the 2001, 142nd annual Acoustical Society of America, American Institute of Physics, International Conference
P.S. Got rave reviews! Peer support was outstanding!

Scientific abstract       Cat Purr Analysis      Partial reference list
**Notice to readers. This paper is not designed to give veterinary or medical advice.**
            All smaller felids, including the domestic cat, caracal, serval, puma, ocelot, and even some large cats such as lions and cheetah purr. Since the 1970's no one has pursued research into the 3000 year old question, "Why do cats purr?" Perhaps it is because, one, we didn't have the knowledge we have now, and two, it was simply easier to assume that cats purr when they are content, which cannot be argued-they do purr when they are content. The contentment hypothesis, however, clearly cannot be the only reason cats purr:.
(1) A vocalization is used to display a particular emotion or physiological state. This enables an individual in society or pack to be able to express themselves. As any cat owner knows well, there are different "meows" for different emotions. A cat owner knows the difference between their cat's "fearful hiss" and "food meow". This cannot be applied to the purr however. Cats purr even when they give birth and when severely injured in a barren cage at the veterinarian's. There are cases of cats purring when they are in grave physiological or psychological stress, as well as when they sit on your lap. Therefore, purring really cannot be considered a vocalization, as the purr is produced under differing emotions or physiological states. As an example, a cat hissing when he/she was happy and when he/she was scared, would confuse the rest of the cat's companions and probably would lead to him/her being ostracized.
(2) Natural selection insures that a particular trait be advantageous to an animal. Admittedly, there is some benefit to be obtained from purring to one's self or to kittens, (a sort of kitty lullaby if you wish). Yet, there does not appear to be a strong 'survival' advantage to this behavior, unless, of course, you wish to constantly display submission. For the purr to exist in different cat species over time, there would likely have to be something very important (survival mechanism) about the purr. There is also a very good reason for energy expenditure (in this case creation of the purr), when one is physically stressed or ill. It would have to be somehow involved in their survival.
         Old wives' tales usually have a grain of truth behind them, and most people have heard of a cat's "nine lives." There is also an old veterinary adage still repeated in veterinary schools which states, "If you put a cat and a bunch of broken bones in the same room, the bones will heal." Any veterinary orthopedic surgeon will tell you how relatively easy it is to mend broken cat bones compared with dog bones which take much more effort to fix, and take longer to heal. There is excellent documentation of the cats' quick recovery from such things as high-rise syndrome. First mentioned by Dr. Gordon Robinson in 1976, high-rise syndrome was later studied by Whitney, W., and Mehlhaff, C., (1987) the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. They documented 132 cases of cats plummeting many stories from high rise apartments, (average 5.5 stories) some suffering severe injuries. Interestingly, 90% of these cats survived. The record for survival from heights is 45 stories, however most cats suffer from falls of 7 stories or more and manage to live.
    There has been some research which that suggests that domestic cats are in general less prone to postoperative complications following elective surgeries. Using computer records, Pollari and Bennet, (1996) state that complications following surgery for dogs undergoing castration to be averaged at 9.8%. The same surgery for cats lists the rate of complications to be 1.2%. Dogs undergoing overiohysterectomies (OHE) had complications 17.4% of the time and cats 8.4%. In another study by the same authors comparing paper records with computerized documentation, dogs undergoing castration complications varied from 2.4% to 22%, in cats 0.0% to 6.3%. With OHE complications varied from 6.5% to 17.7% in dogs and 3.6% to 16.% in cats. Lund et al. (1999) the records of 31,484 dogs and 15,226 cats at 52 veterinary practices to determine the most common disorders. Arthritis in dogs was listed as 2.4% of the population and was not listed as being reported in the cat. The prevalence of lameness in dogs occurred 3.1% of the time, in cats it is not mentioned as being reported. Healthy dogs were listed as 6.8% of the dog population, healthy cats 9.5%.
Bone and muscles/ligaments
Although it is impossible to standardize the healing time for dogs and cats in clinically occurring fractures, due to the type of fracture, amount of trauma to soft tissues, the type of treatment, the standard evaluation time or the after care, some general statements can be made, (Johnson, 2001). Cats do not have near the prevalence of orthopedic disease or ligament and muscle traumas as dogs do. Additionally, Toombs et al. (1985) suggests that non-union of fractures in cats is rare.
Osteo diseases that are rarely found in cats but can be found in all breeds and sexes of dogs include; Osteochondritis dissecans of the proximal humerous, scapulohumeral joint luxations, hip dysplasia. Osteo diseases in which cats are completely unaffected include fragmented coronoid process, ununited anconeal preoceese, traumatic elbow luxation, elbow subluxation, and legg-perenes. Osteosarcoma occurs much less frequently in the cat then in the dog. Johnson, 1999. Osteoarthritis and CPPd have only been found in large cats that were raised in zoological parks. The frequency of effected cats in the wild is apparently so low, that they are infrequently effected by these diseases in the wild. (Rothschild et al., 1998)
Myeloma is a tumor of plasma cells originating in the bone marrow. Only eight cats with multiple myeloma have been reported to have osteolytic bone lesions. 56% of all dogs reported with this condition involve bone. The metastatic behavioral differences between dogs and cats is that tumors in the dog involve the whole body, whereas in the cat it involves the distal ends of the extremities. In Lameness
With regard to the prevalence of ligament and muscle injuries and disease, those that are seen regularly in dogs but not in cats include, cranial crutiate ligament ruptures, meniscal injuries (torn ligaments), muscle contusions and strains, muscle contracture and fibrose, quadricepts contractor and inialsinatus, bicipital tenosynovitis, medial patellar luxation, lateral patellar luxation, osteochronditis dissecans of the stifle, and ligamentous injury of the tarsus. Johnson
One explanation for the lack of trauma or disease found in cat bone and muscle/ligaments is that cats are more sedentary then dogs, however this is a supposition and is not documented.
Respiratory
There have been studies that indicate that purring can aid in dyspnea as Cook in 1972 suggests. Kidd et al. in 2000 found in a study with 11 cats and 17 dogs with acute and subacute myocardial necrosis, none of the cats in the study had dyspnea, although all the dogs did. The overall incidence of primary lung tumors in the dog is 1.24%, and in the cat, .38% (Miles, 1988)
Tissue
Free skin grafting is often used for the treatment of large skin defects on the distal limbs of dogs and cats. However while using this technique in dogs, the overlapped skin edges of the graft usually become necrotic by 3 days postoperatively, and need to be debrided. In cats, the grafts are usually viable even after six days.
Unfortunately, there has been no research that has attempted to explain the extraordinary ability cats have for healing themselves.
     Just two years ago, Dr. Clinton Rubin and his associates made a fantastic discovery. They found that exposure to frequencies between 20-50 Hz (at low dB) creates the robust striations of increased bone density, Clinton Rubin, (1999), Strain mediated augmentation of bone mass and morphology: Is it possible to harness the anabolic potential of mechanical stimuli without necessarily requiring exercise?, Wellcome Trust. In one study chickens were placed on a vibrating plate every day for 20 minutes, and grew stronger bone, National Geographic, January 2001, p. 11. This discovery of anabolic frequencies between 20- 50 Hz (at low dB), is a tremendous breakthrough. Astronauts in space loose bone density in zero gravity, and this method could help them maintain healthy bones. Dr. Rubin's group has begun research trials with humans, designed to test whether this non-invasive method halts osteoporosis and perhaps even renews bone growth in post-metapausal women; J. Zhi, and M. Hadjrargyrou, (1999) The expression of a novel and a known gene, unregulated by disuse is down regulated by anabolic mechanical stimulation, American Society of Bone and Mineral Research. This method is not yet FDA approved, although it is hoped it will be soon. Additionally, Chen et.al (1994) The effects of frequency of mechanical vibration on experimental fracture healing, Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi, in his work with rabbits, found that frequencies of 25 and 50 hertz promote bone strength by 20%, and stimulate both the healing of fractures, and the speed at which the fractures heal.
    There is also documentation that low frequencies, at low dB are helpful with regard to pain relief, and the healing of tendons and muscles. Vibrational stimulation between 50-150 Hz has been found to relieve suffering in 82% of persons suffering from acute and chronic pain (Lundeberg, 1983). In 1999, M. Falempin and S.F. In-Albon discovered that mechanical vibration at 120 Hz counteracted atrophy in tendons after hind-limb muscle loading. Biomechanical stimulation which uses mechanical vibration of standardized frequencies from 18 - 35 Hz is used in Russian sports medicine. This technique improves the relaxation of strained muscle structures and increases the stretching ability of capsules and tendons. Lake in 1992, found that biomechanical stimulation prevents a decrease in muscle strength and muscle mass and the oxidative capacity of thigh muscles, following knee immobilization after sports injuries. The use of low frequency therapy also applies to tendon healing. It can increase the mobility of upper ankle joints by 16- 19 %, Klysczt et. al, 1997, Biomechanical stimulation therapy as physical treatment of arthrogenic venous insufficiency, Hautarzt. Exposure to frequencies between 2-100 Hz results in in the reduction of muscle spasms and more pronounced reduction of the spasms occurs the longer the treatment is applied, (D. Ardic, A. Buljina, 2000). After ten days of short periods of biomechanical stimulation, upper mobility of ankle joints improved by 16 and 19 degrees and was accompanied by the healing of venous ulcerations after skin flap transplantation, (Klysch, T. et al., 1997). It is interesting to note that Biomechanical stimulation is also used in public gyms and work-out centers to increase muscle mass. A web search will bring up many manufactures of such equipment.
    It has also been found that in- phase chest wall vibration at 100 Hz, is known to decrease dysponea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease while at rest (Cristiano and Schwartzstein 1997; Nakayama, et al., 1998; Sibuya, 1994).
In Summery: Vibrations between 20-140 Hz are therapeutic for bone growth/fracture healing, pain relief/swelling reduction, wound healing, muscle growth and repair/tendon repair, mobility of joints and the relief of dyspnea.
We think that this research could help explain why cats purr, and here is why:
        Fauna Communications has recorded many cats' purrs, at a non-profit facility and the Cincinnati Zoo , including the cheetah, puma, serval, ocelot and the domestic house cat. After analysis of the data, we discovered that cat purrs create frequencies that fall directly in the range that is anabolic for bone growth.
·                     The dominant and fundamental frequency for three species of cats' purrs is exactly 25 Hz, or 50 Hz the best frequencies for bone growth and fracture healing. All of the cats purrs all fall well within the 20 - 50 Hz anabolic range, and extend up to 140 Hz.. All the cats, except the cheetah have a dominant or strong harmonic at 50 Hz.
·                     The harmonics of three cat species fall exactly on or within 2 points of 120 Hz which has been found to repair tendons. One species within 3 Hz and one within 7 Hz.
·                     Eighteen to thirty-five Hz is used in therapeutic biomechanical stimulation for joint mobility. Considering the small size of many of these cats, especially the domestic cats, it is interesting to note that that all of the individual cats, have dominant frequencies within this range. In fact, some of the cats, have 2-3 harmonics in this range.
·                     The frequencies for therapeutic pain relief are from 50-150 Hz. All of the individual cats have al least 5 sets of strong harmonics in this range.
·                     Therapeutic frequencies for the generation of muscle strength lie between 2-100 Hz. All of the individual cats have al least 4 sets of strong harmonics in this range.
·                     Therapy for COPD uses 100 Hz, all of the individual cats have a dominant frequerncy of exactly 100 Hz.
     There is another clue found in a study performed by Dr. T. F. Cook, (1973) The relief of dyspnoea in cats by purring, New Zealand Veterinary Journal. A dying cat who could not breath (they were considering euthanasia), was found to breath normally once it began purring. The purring opened up the cat's airway, and improvement was "remarkable and the next day commenced to eat...." Three species of cats have a strong harmonic at exactly 100 Hz, the vibrational frequency found to relieve dyspnea. One species within 2 Hz and one species within 7 Hz of 100 Hz. It could be that the cat's purr decreases the breathlessness by vibratory stimulation.
Is it possible that evolution has provided the felines of this world with a natural healing mechanism for bones and other organs? Researchers at Fauna Communications believe so.
Being able to produce frequencies that have been proven to improve healing time, strength and mobility could explain the purr's natural selection. In the wild when food is plentiful, the felids are relatively sedentary. They will spend a large portion of the day and night lounging in trees or on the ground. Consistent exercise is one of the greatest contributors to bone, (Karlsson et al, 2001), and muscle (Roth et al, 2000; Tracy et al 1999), and tendon and ligament strength (Simoson et al, 1995; Tipton et al 1975). If a cats exercise is sporadic it would be advantageous for them to stimulate bone growth while at rest. As well, following injury, immediate exercise can rebreak one and re-tear healing muscle and tendon (Montgomery, 1989). Inactivity decreases the strength of muscles (Tipton et al, 1975). Therefore, having an internal vibrational therapeutic system to stimulate healing would be advantageous, and would also reduce edema and provide a measure of pain relief during the healing process.
        Unfortunately there is no easy way to test this hypothesis. Strangely, after speaking with several of the foremost specialists on animal bones, it was discovered that there has apparently never been a study on any small cat bones, not serval, caracal, puma, ocelot, or domestic. Only cheetah and tiger bones have been studied, and tigers do not purr. Cheetahs do purr, but they are one of the most unique and specialized forms of the felid family. The cheetah's bones were found to have dense remodeling (growth), which apparently is found in carnivores and in humans.
        Purring-cat physiology would have to be compared to non-purring cat physiology to test this theory. The study would have to be entirely non-invasive.
     There are inherent difficulties in discovering whether purring aids in healing, as purring-cat physiology would have to be compared to non-purring cat physiology. The dilemma is that most all cats purr, even under duress. They are even capable of producing a purr following a laryngectomy (Hardie et al, 1981), due to vibration of the diaphragm (Stogdale and Delack, 1985). A naturally occurring, non-purring cat is very rare, and this effect is usually associated with a physical problem. Cats that have physical problems related to purring cannot be admitted to the study because of the possible variables presented by the physical disability. Therefore, any research would have to be non-invasive and observation based.
Given the data on anabolic frequencies, fracture and healing research, the exact match of the frequencies and amplitudes of the cat's purrs to vibrational therapy research, time proven adages, biomechanical therapy, studies on tendon and muscle repair and Dr. Cook's study, it is certainly not a leap of faith to speculate that the cat's purr is a healing mechanism. Having a natural way to increase strength, and decrease healing time, would indeed be very advantageous and would explain the purr's development.
It is suggested that purring be stimulated as much as possible when cats are ill or under duress. If purring is a healing mechanism, it may just help them to recover faster, and perhaps could even save their life.
        We are currently gathering veterinarian case studies and beginning a study to test the cats' purr-healing theory. No cats will, or have been harmed in this study. All of Fauna Communication's studies are non-invasive. We need your help for this research. We thank you for your support!

Cat's Purr Scientific Abstract
2pAB7. The felid purr: A healing mechanism?
Session: Tuesday Afternoon, Dec 04
Time: 3:15
Author: Elizabeth von Muggenthaler
Location: Fauna Commun. Res. Inst., P.O. Box 1126, Hillsborough, NC 27278,
L@animalvoice.com
Abstract:
A current hypothesis suggests the purr indicates contentment, however, cats purr
when they are severely injured or frightened. Forty-four felids were recorded
including cheetahs, ocelots, pumas, domestic cats, and servals. A Sony TCD-D8
Digital Audio Recorder (DAT) and Statham Radio microphones recorded the purrs.
FFTs and spectrographs were performed using National Instrument's Polynesia. An
accelerometer was also used to measure domestic cat purrs. Every felid in the
study generated strong frequencies between 25 and 150 Hz. Purr frequencies
correspond to vibrational/electrical frequencies used in treatment for bone
growth/fractures, pain, edema, muscle growth/strain, joint flexibility, dyspnea,
and wounds. Domestic cats, servals, ocelots, and pumas produce fundamental,
dominant, or strong frequencies at exactly 25 Hz and 50 Hz, the two low
frequencies that best promote bone growth/fracture healing [Chen et al., Zhong.
Wai Ke Za Zhi. 32, 217--219 (1994)]. These four species have a strong harmonic
exactly at, or within 2 Hz of 100 Hz, a frequency used therapeutically for pain,
edema, wounds, and dyspnea. An internal healing mechanism would be advantageous,
increasing recovery time and keeping muscles and bone strong when sedentary.

Creating patterns using the human voice

David — Mon, 29 May 2006 22:05:07 GMT

Hi, I've recently become fascinated by cymatics and have been trying to create a tool in which I can view patterns of the human voice. Unfortunately I have not been having much success and although a vibration is acheived, the sand does not form into any pattern - just chaos. Can anyone shed any light on this regarding the tools I ought to be using inorder to do this?. The snare drum sounds like a good idea and I think this will be my next step but surely the size of the drum woiuld also play an important factor...Any light on this matter would be most appretiated.

World Sound Healing event Feb. 14

flora — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 20:02:45 GMT

I will be participating in this global event. Consider joining in, gather some friends.
Come together in peace and love expressed through sacred sound.
Imagine the difference this cymatic experiment can make!

The 4th Annual WORLD SOUND HEALING DAY FEB. 14, 2006
“The Sound Heard Around the World”
Sounding an “AH” for planetary peace!

WHAT: World Sound Healing Day- For five minutes, sound healers, meditators, peace activists and lovers of all humanity and sentient consciousness will send a Sonic Valentine to the Earth with the heart sound “AH” filled with the intention of Peace and Love! (visit:www.healingsounds.com to for more information on this event and to download an “AH” sound you can tone along with)

WHEN: February 14, 2006, at noon your local time, join Jonathan Goldman, the Sound Healers Associations and thousands of people throughout the planet as they tone an "AH" together for five minutes, projecting the energy of Light & Love throughout the Planet. You will actually experience generating a field of transformational energy as this occurs. In addition, local toning groups will be occurring throughout the Earth at various times during that day with the intention of assisting planetary consciousness through sound.

WHY: To project peace throughout the planet. What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day then to project Peace and Love to Mother Earth and generate this energy throughout the planet with sound! Sound coupled with intention has the ability to heal and transform.

We will sound an “AH” sending a heart wave of Sound that will resonate throughout the planet. Now is the time for you to be part of the Celestial Choir and resonate together for World Sound Healing Day. We can create major positive shifts on our beloved planet. Through sounding together we will make a difference.

HOW: Sound the heart sound “AH” for 5 minutes We will simply sound an “AH” filled with the intention of Peace and Love for 5 minutes at your local noon time. The “AH” is a universal, non-denominational heart sound that when projected with focused energy is extremely powerful and effective.

AND: Pass this message on. If it’s appropriate, forward this announcement. Tell your friends and loved ones to join our Celestial Choir and help bring peace to the planet. There will be sound healing events throughout the world. Previous World Sound Healing Days were extraordinarily successful. We truly made a difference to the planet with our Sound, our Light and our Love.

CO-CREATED BY: Co-creators and Supporters of World Sound Healing Day are truly too numerous to list. The following are only a small portion of the people who have supported and assisted previous World Sound Healing Days:

Cymatic galactic drums

Milky way “vibrating like a drum”

Jan. 10, 2006
Courtesy University of California-Berkeley
and World Science staff

Our Milky Way galaxy is warped, and vibrates like a drum, because of the influence of two small companion galaxies, astronomers have found.

A spiral galaxy that is warped, somewhat like our own: galaxy ESO 510-13. Astronomers say peculiar drum-like vibrations in our Milky Way galaxy may explain why it is warped, and similar explanations may apply for other warped galaxies. (Credit: Hubble Heritage Team (STScI / AURA), C. Conselice (U. Wisconsin / STScI) et al., NASA)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The researchers said the effect is due to the most prominent of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies, a pair of galaxies called the Magellanic Clouds. They are stirring up with the Milky Way’s “dark matter,” an invisible substance that’s detectable only by its gravitational pull, the astronomers added.

Dark matter is thought to make up more then 90 percent of the weight of the universe.

The interaction creates a warp in the galaxy that has puzzled astronomers for half a century, the researchers continued. The warp, most obvious in the thin disk of hydrogen gas permeating the galaxy, extends across the Milky Way’s 200,000-light year width. A light year is the distance light travels in a year.

Leo Blitz, professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley, and colleagues charted this warp and analyzed it in detail for the first time, based on a new galactic map of light given off by the hydrogen gas.

They found the gas layer is vibrating like a drumhead, and that the vibration consists almost wholly of three “notes,” also called modes. These notes would be unimaginably deep by human standards—some three million octaves, or scales, below the note called middle C on a piano.

This means that if a piano could play these notes, it would require a keyboard about the width of Iceland to do so.

It’s not uncommon for astronomical objects to exhibit some sort of regular vibrations, like musical instruments, so that they can be said to be playing notes. Which note depends on the vibration speed. A study last summer found that a violent quake on the surface of a compact type of star called a neutron star left it playing the note of “F sharp.”

Although the Milky Way’s warp has been known for almost 50 years, astronomers previously dismissed the Magellanic Clouds—comprised of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds—as its cause because the galaxies’ combined masses are only 2 percent that of Milky Way, Blitz and colleagues said.

This mass was thought too small to influence a massive disk equivalent to about 200 billion suns during the clouds’ 1.5 billion-year orbit of the galaxy.

But Martin D. Weinberg of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, joined Blitz to create a computer model that takes into account the Milky Way’s dark matter. The motion of the clouds through the dark matter creates a wake that enhances their gravitational influence on the disk, the astronomers found. The wake stirs a vibration at the center of the dark matter blob pervading the galaxy. This in turn makes the embedded galactic disc oscillate.

When this dark matter is included, the Magellanic Clouds, in their orbit around the Milky Way, closely reproduce the type of warp observed in the galaxy, said Blitz, director of UC Berkeley’s Radio Astronomy Laboratory. “The model not only produces this warp in the Milky Way, but during the rotation cycle of the Magellanic Clouds around the galaxy, it looks like the Milky Way is flapping in the breeze.”

“People have been trying to look at what creates this warp for a very long time,” Weinberg said. “Our simulation is still not a perfect fit, but it has a lot of the character of the actual data.” The researchers presented the findings this week at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Washington, D.C.

The Magellanic Clouds’ effect on the dark matter is reminiscent of the paradox that led to dark matter’s discovery some 35 years ago, the researchers said. Astronomers realized stars in the galaxy’s outer regions had speeds much greater than the gravitational pull of the galaxy’s visible stars could account for. Only by assuming that most of the galaxy’s mass was too dark to see could astronomers reconcile the velocities with the laws of gravity.

Astronomers now take dark matter into account in computer simulations of cosmic events, even though they don’t know what it is.

Some physicists have devised an alternative theory of gravity called Modified Newtonian Dynamics to explain these observations without resorting to dark matter. But Weinberg said his findings are bad news for that theory, because it can’t easily explain the Milky Way’s warp, whereas dark matter can.

Many galaxies have warps, possibly for similar reasons, he added.

His team mathematically described our galaxy’s vibrations as a combination of three motions: a flapping of the disk’s edge up and down, an up-and-down motion like that of a drumhead, and a saddle-shaped oscillation.

That it took just three “notes” to describe the motion was “very surprising,” Blitz said, noting that this had escaped astronomers’ notice before now. “this simple, elegant vibrational structure just popped out.”

The findings are to be published in an upcoming issue of the research journal Astrophysical Journal.

Creating the Patterns

Richard — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 17:25:20 GMT

Hi
I've been trying to create these cymatic patterns for a number of weeks, using my Moog Modular synth and a big speaker with a membrane stretched over it...... but get nothing but chaos. Also tried with water..... again nothing but chaos. Any ideas anyone ? - Could it be that the sound from my synth is too "muddy" or impure to give me the proper result ? I've tried all volumes, and frequencies from all over the spectrum.... the result is always the same.

Cymatics & Crop circles

Thu, 16 Sep 2004 07:24:15 GMT

I had a vision that alot of the Crop Circles that have been forming on this Earth, are the result of huge sound vibrations directed to certain spots on this planet via certain sound mediums like large crystal oscillators or large tonoscopes.

'Sound' can manifest into 'form' through the medium of various materials. "In the beginning was the word..." takes on a whole new meaning when you understand 'cymatics'.

Its so fascinating... whether it be from outside our world, or from the Top Secret Domes of scientific experiments here on Earth, it is fascinating that 'sound' can create the most beautiful geometric patterns ever created.

In 1815 the American mathematician Nathaniel Bowditch began studying the patterns created by the intersection of two sine curves whose axes are perpendicular to each other, sometimes called Bowditch curves but more often Lissajous figures. (se below right) This after the French mathematician Jules-Antoine Lissajous, who, independently of Bowditch, investigated them in 1857-58. Both concluded that the condition for these designs to arise was that the frequencies, or oscillations per second, of both curves stood in simple whole-number ratios to each other, such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and so on.

Since these discoveries, the Higher Scientific field and minds of this world have been experiementing and using these tools in the study of Sound Creation, unbenownst to the general public.

What creates the variations in the shapes of these designs is the phase differential, or the angle between the two curves. In other words, the way in which their rhythms or periods coincide. If, on the other hand, the curves have different frequencies and are out of phase with each other, intricate web-like designs arise. These Lissajous figures are all visual examples of waves that meet each other at right angles.

As you ponder the connection between these figures and other areas of knowledge, one comes to think about the concept that exists in many societies and their mythologies around the world, which describes the world as a web (crossing sine waves). For example, many of the Mesoamerican people regarded the various parts of the universe as products of spinning and weaving: "Conception and birth were/.../ compared with the acts of spinning and weaving; all the Aztec and Mayan creation and fertility goddesses were described as great weavers." A number of waves crossing each other at right angles look like a woven pattern, and it is precisely that they meet at 90-degree angles that gives rise to Lissajous figures.

In 1967, the late Hans Jenny, a Swiss doctor, artist, and researcher, published the bilingual book Kymatik -Wellen und Schwingungen mit ihrer Struktur und Dynamik/ Cymatics - The Structure and Dynamics of Waves and Vibrations. In this book Jenny, like Chladni two hundred years earlier, showed what happens when one takes various materials like sand, spores, iron filings, water, and viscous substances, and places them on vibrating metal plates and membranes. What then appears are shapes and motion- patterns which vary from the nearly perfectly ordered and stationary to those that are turbulently developing, organic, and constantly in motion.

Jenny made use of crystal oscillators and an invention of his own by the name of the tonoscope to set these plates and membranes vibrating. This was a major step forward. The advantage with crystal oscillators is that one can determine exactly which frequency and amplitude/volume one wants. It was now possible to research and follow a continuous train of events in which one had the possibility of changing the frequency or the amplitude or both.

The tonoscope was constructed to make the HUMAN VOICE VISIBLE without any electronic apparatus as an intermediate link. This yielded the amazing possibility of being able to see the physical image of the vowel, tone or song a human being produced directly.

Not only could you hear a melody - you could see it, too!

Jenny called this new area of research Cymatics, which comes from the Greek kyma, wave. Cymatics could be translated as: the study of how vibrations, in the broad sense, generate and influence patterns, shapes and moving processes.

When the "OM" is uttered into a tonoscope which transfers the sound into its visual geometric representative, it creates a pattern identical to the SRI YANTRA Mantra. Isn't that incredible!

We live in such a wonderous Universe... everything is sound, vibration, geometry and light waves: with the basis and power of love as its root.

Lets keep our visions and tones for peace uplifted and soon it will infect the whole world!

dance for veggie power- APHRODESIA @ ELBO ROOM THIS FRIDAY

DaviD SatoRi — Tue, 08 Mar 2005 01:53:46 GMT

Aphrodesia’s “Veggie Oil Power Fundraiser” Friday, March 11 at the Elbo Room, San Francisco

Aphrodesia, the explosive San Francisco-based afrobeat ensemble that made national headlines last summer by driving cross country in a vegetable oil-powered bus as part of the “Just Vote Tour”, will headline a “Veggie Oil Power Fundraiser” on March 11 at the Elbo Room in San Francisco. All the band’s proceeds from the show will go towards its new vegetable oil powered bus, a converted city transit bus from Santa Clarita, California.

Born in San Francisco a little over two years ago, the 11-member Aphrodesia has won national accolades both for its music and its commitment to social activism. The East Bay Express picked the band’s first CD, “Shackrobeat Vol. 1”, as one of its top albums of 2003, and the band’s live performances have earned raves everywhere from the pages of Global Rhythm Magazine to Jambase.com. Meanwhile, the band’s “Just Vote Tour”, a nationwide voter registration-themed tour focusing primarily on swing states and landing in New York City during the Republican National Convention, deposited the band on the cover of USA Today, and the Bay Area-based Common Ground Magazine featured the band on its cover because of its commitment to driving on alternative fuel.

The band’s habit of driving in a vegetable oil-powered vehicle is more than just window dressing. “We want to walk the walk as well as talk the talk,” explains founder and bassist Ezra Gale. “We can’t be anti-war and pro-environment and drive around in a big petroleum-fueled tour bus,” he adds.

Aphrodesia’s old bus, a converted airport shuttle bus nicknamed the “Votemobile” for the cross-country ‘Just Vote Tour’, carried the band at least 10,000 miles solely on vegetable oil. The band plans to continue that tradition in its new bus, which is equipped with 300-gallon vegetable oil tanks and is considerably better suited to carrying a band of Aphrodesia’s size. To help pay the costs of the new bus and of converting it to run on vegetable oil, the band is throwing a “Veggie Oil Power Fundraiser” at the Elbo Room on March 11, with all proceeds going towards the cost of the new bus.

“Veggie Oil Power Fundraiser” featuring Aphrodesia with DJ Oaty Love, Friday, March 11, at the Elbo Room, 647 Valencia,, SF, (415) 552-7788, 10PM- 2 AM; $7-$20 donation requested.

Messages from the Water

joannasunshine — Sat, 21 Aug 2004 18:12:33 GMT

Has anyone read the book Messages from the Water? It's about this guy who took water from different places in nature and would freeze it to see the crystals.
Sometimes he would expose the water to classical music and it would be really beautiful crystals. Other times he would expose it to hard rock music and the crystals would come out all deformed.
He also did it with words. I love you produced beautiful crystals, I hate you created deformed crystals.
The point was that we are made up of mostly water so if it effects a little drop of water imagine what it is doing to our whole body.

I am going to see "What the 'Bleep' do we know" today. The guy that wrote the book is in that movie. I 'll let you know how it was.

The Hebrew language

Wed, 22 Sep 2004 03:08:21 GMT

Hans Jenny (Swiss doctor, artists and researcher) in 1967 discovered the world of Cymatics. In his research with the tonoscope, Jenny noticed that when the vowels of the ancient languages of Hebrew and Sanskrit were pronounced, the sand took the shape of the written symbols for these vowels, while our modern languages, on the other hand, did not generate the same result!

Are you a MAGICAL thinker? You may considered SCHIZOID.

Thu, 09 Sep 2004 17:33:55 GMT

From The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition(American Psychiatric Association, 1994, pg. 645) describes Schizotypal Personality Disorder as a pervasive pattern of social and interpersonal deficits marked by acute discomfort with, and reduced capacity for, close relationships as well as by cognitive or perceptual distortions and eccentricities of behavior, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

• ideas of reference (excluding delusions of reference);

• odd beliefs or "magical thinking" that influences behavior and is inconsistent with subcultural norms (e.g., superstitiousness, belief in clairvoyance, telepathy, or "sixth sense"; in children and adolescents, bizarre fantasies or preoccupations);

• unusual perceptual experiences, including bodily illusions;

• odd thinking and speech (e.g., vague, circumstantial, metaphorical, overelaborate, or stereotyped);

• suspiciousness or paranoid ideation;

• inappropriate or constricted affect;

• behavior or appearance that is odd, eccentric, or peculiar;

• lack of close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives;

• excessive social anxiety that does not diminish with familiarity and tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgments about self. <<< what does that mean?

http://www.geocities.com/ptypes/schizotypalpd.html
http://www.dc.peachnet.edu/~bbrown/psyc2621/ch14/schizophrenia/tsld002.htm <<<<

Instead of being burned at the stake for magical thinking, many beautiful people are being sent into Mental Health institutes and forced to take harmful medications that are turning “magical thinkers” into depressed, rabid, confused, lonely, psychotic and scared people.

Its obvious why Jung is overlooked by the APA. The APA is mainly concerned with making MORE MONEY off the degradation of society by feeding them drugs that not only attack the human neurotransmitters but directly assault and invade the DNA.

BUSH SEEKS TO TESTS EVERYONE FOR MENTAL ILLNESS!

On July 14th, the House Appropriations Committee approved $20 million in new federal dollars to begin implementation of the plans set forth by the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health (NFC) to get every man, woman and child in America "screened" for "mental illness."

http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/328/7454/1458

according to a March 2004 progress report entitled New Freedom Initiative

www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/toc-2004.html

While some praise the plan's goals, others say it protects the profits of drug companies at the expense of the public.

BUSH is now making it almost a law for people to be tested for signs of mental illness! Ridiculous! Aren’t there enough children on RIDDILIN?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ someones letter to the Senator:

To: Sen. Orrin Hatch

July 20, 2004

Dear Sir, I recieved a notice in my e-mail about expanding "mental health screening" to include teenagers. Already child medications have risen 500% over the past 5 or 6 years and these medications are harmful. this endangers our right to privacy. Here is the statement below: EXTREMELY URGENT! ACTION ALERT!!! http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/userletter?letter_id=102420966

Dr. Kolodner also discussed two performance measures implemented by VA: (1) all primary care patients who do not have a diagnosis of depression or are not in treatment should be screened once a year for depression; and (2) patients who screen positively for depression should have a follow-up evaluation within 6 weeks to determine if they do have depression. Clinical reminders prompt clinicians at the point of care and support both clinical practice guidelines and performance measures. Other national clinical reminders include screening for involuntary movement and sexual trauma. Local facilities also have the option of customizing clinical reminders to fit their specific needs (e.g., alcohol dependence, PTSD). http://www.mentalhealthcommission.gov/minutes/jan03.htm

2) Call Speaker of the House, Rep. Hastert: 202-225-2976

3) Call the Senate Leader, Senator Frist: 202-224-3344

4) Call the House Education and Workforce Committee Chairman John Boehner at 202-225-6205

5) Call the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee Chairman Judd Gregg at 202-224-3324

Tell them you oppose any federal, state, or local plans for universal mental health screening. Tell them to STOP funding this New Freedom Commission on Mental Health plan in the Labor/Health and Human Services appropriations bill.

These calls are fast and brief. The aide who answers will take your message and forward it on. It's important that there are large numbers of calls, so please do this and get other to do so as well.

Additional actions to take:

1) Call your own Members of Congress (go to http://www.congress.org)

2) Alert your state legislators and oppose any school board initiatives to add psychiatric screening programs.

3) Support the Child Medication Act (S. 1390) currently stalled in the Senate by Senator Edward Kennedy - This legislation prohibits schools from coercing parents to place their children on psychiatric medications that are on the controlled substances list. Senator Kennedy, with large support from pharmaceutical companies, has not let this very modest proposal even receive a hearing, saying that it needs more study. Senator Kennedy (202-224-4543) as well as Senator Gregg (202-224-3324) the Committee chairman, and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (202-224-3344) need to hear from the public.

4) Check to see if your state has a provision in state special education law that prohibits a school district from overriding parental refusal to submit their child to a special education or mental health evaluation. If yes, alert other parents, and if not, work for one.

Thank you for yout help on this urgent matter.

Fish and Sounds

timbo — Fri, 16 Jul 2004 06:04:29 GMT

Anyone else have experience with fish and sound? I know that someone once told me that dolphins and whales may try to confuse fish with sound...

Way back when, I was doing some work in the college bio lab--I don't remember what--it was probably the Human Physiology class as I never could seem to finish the lab section. Anyway, I was whistling away when I noticed that all the Sticklebacks in the lab would stop moving if I hit a certain pitch. After I changed the note, they would go back to swimming around! Weird. Anyone else have any anecdotal stories about changes in fish behaviour based on sounds? I scuba dive and I know they react to it. I just think that its pretty weird for a fish to just stop depending on the type of sound.

i tried my first cymatics experiment a few days ago. not much of a success really but interesting.
here's what i did:
plugged my laptop (the Sphinx) into a 60 watt amp into a 12 inch speaker cabinet. faced the speaker up and layed a thin piece of metal over the top. placed some beach sand on the metal. played single notes at a fairly loud volume but not blasting loud.
i got some really sloppy looking reactions in the sand,nothing that was worth digi photoing to put up here.
here are some of my conclusions so far-
perhaps it was not loud enough. there were folks around and it was late.
perhaps i need to put the metal directly on the speaker itself. there were at least 3 resonances involved: the speaker, the speaker cabinet, and the metal. in traditional cymatics a sheet of metal is bowed directly so there is only one primary resonance, that is the metal itself.
perhaps the metal was too thin or too thick. i did actually try two different sheets though.
perhaps the sand that i used was not fine enough.

i am going to check into all these options in the next few days and maybe i will have some neat results and photos that i can post. i would like to hear any comments and suggestions.

resonate,
crystal

Searching for Info

mehndimama — Sat, 06 Mar 2004 18:04:52 GMT

I am a mehndi artist. I do a form of healing mehndi I call 'Vibrational Mehndi'. I paint (in henna) visual representations of vibrations (cymatics) on specific areas of the body that correlate both to that area and to the intention of the 'healing'. I use specfic gem(stones) and flower essences in the henna paste that also have correlating frequencies, again to both the area of the body and the intention of the healing. So now I have been turned on to William Rife, and his studies of mapping out the exact frequencies both to break the DNA stucture of bacteria/viruses, and to 'interject' the healthy frequencies back into the body's DNA. His machine is illegal here in the US. So what I am trying to do as of now is gather as much info as I can on specific frequencies and thier visual representations. I'm looking for precise visual representations for specific frequencies pertaining to gemstones, flowers, the body, the chemical elements, and generally anything else that pertains to this. More on William Rife's studies is greatly appreciated also! If anyone has a Rife Machine Let's collaborate!! We could set up experiments to create a visual mapping of all frequencies William Rife has studied in order to create a manual of "Human Application".
It is my intention to take the healing objective of the Rife machine and facilitate it, not through a machine, but through our own minds and biochemisterical/frequency sphere.
Namaste

Rolling your own

mysticalsun — Sun, 07 Mar 2004 07:05:04 GMT

Has anyone here built a Cymatics system? I have been thinking of hacking one together and was wondering if there are an underground blueprints. I'd like to use it as a visualizer when mixing...

Recommended Book List

bluetech — Thu, 12 Feb 2004 04:46:43 GMT

Thought I would start a recommended book/resource list for folks interested in the higher aspects of sound and music.

Excited to see people's recommendations.

I've quite enjoyed

1. Nada Brahma - The World Is Sound
2. Anything by Hazrat Inyat Khan
3. Music, The Brain, and Ecstasy
4. Hyperspace - Michio Kaku (not specifically music related, but deals with 10th dimensional physics which is quite applicable)

Enneatones

Sun, 04 Jan 2004 08:49:09 GMT

I developed a system, based on the Enneagram and astrology, wherein through knowing a persons planets/houses, I can plot musical tones along the Enneagram according to specific laws of the Enneagram, which would correspond with a persons astrological chart.

The resultant sound scheme would literally be a sonic "fingerprint" of the persons psyche at the time of birth. I actually made up some experimental charts using an interface I made in Macromedia Flash. (This is a labor of love, and sorry, I can't make any up for folks anymore. In any case, when I did this before for people, it was an anticlimax for most of them. Most likely because of the production value of the presentation. I'd need to do it "live" with very specific tone generation equipment. My own experimentation with it led to my first and only lucid dream in my entire life.)

When one thinks of the implications of this, there are interesting possibilities to say the least. For example, since each person has their own set of nine tones in a particular order, each tonal stamp of a person is unique. So let's say you want to develop your mental abilities, you'd be able to use, say, Albert Einsteins Enneatonal stamp, based on his chart. If you want to do Tantric sex with a partner, you could swap Enneatonal sound stamps, each meditating on their partners tones. For a healing you could get a group to meditate on the ailing persons Enneatonal sound stamp, sending healing waves in their direction.

It's only up to the imagination where an idea like this could go. Since, of course, the NEA or any other body wouldn't supply me with money for research on this, and since I'm a starving artist for a living, I could only come up with some crappy piano tones when I'd rather use a Schumann Resonance for the tonal generation.

Considering the concept of Cymatics (which I've looked into before, quite intrigued), coupled with the fact that we're 95% water, you can imagine the possibilities for this idea!

I'm aware that this is a pretty far-out idea, but still kinda cool in a way, no?

MindSync software...

FXtrader — Sat, 27 Dec 2003 15:16:34 GMT

Here's a program, mindsync.zip which is supposed to put your mind into alpha beta and theta states by generating tones. It's free and it sounds like it might be good, but the instructions don't make much sense to me.

maybe you know...

coreyp — Fri, 30 Jan 2004 07:50:45 GMT

First of all, I love the tribe, kudos to the moderator for starting it. Second, hello to everyone I don't know. OK, now for the real topic...I used to have a screensaver called Mandala. I know there a few of them floating around with the same name, but I have never been able to find the original (and best) version. It was a mandala shape morphing screensaver, but was hands down one of the most beautiful screensavers I have ever seen. If any of you have any ideas or suggestions of where I can find this, or maybe something similiar, please help me out. Muchas Gracias :]

Aum - The Origin of the Universe

sayr — Sat, 27 Dec 2003 08:37:11 GMT

Why do so many cultures and ancient spiritual traditions share the common and sacred practice of vocal toning? Many of them also utilizing the intoning of the vowels... like the "Om" of Tibetan monks and Tuvan throat singers, the continuous drone of a didjeridu, being sung through by an indigenous Australian shaman... or the Hebrew vocal meditation of the "Sh'ma".
What about the vocal expressions of so many other creatures? ...like the cow's "moo", the cat's "meow" (& purring)... or the howling of a wolf.

The sustaining of a tone while progressing through the vowels or holding a particular vowel has a hugely harmonious effect on the participants... especially one who is aware of the higher implications. It is recreation, literally... the turning of a key which unlocks and opens a universal door, activating the engine of reflection (seeing one-self in the mirror) which carries us back home to the everlasting moment of the One -Unity- becoming the countless many.

Transcendence (Oneness) & Immanence (Multitude)... rejoining together.

What is Cymatics?

sayr — Sat, 27 Dec 2003 11:06:41 GMT

Cymatics is the study of wave phenomena... mainly soundwaves and their affects on matter.
It is a science pioneered by Swiss medical doctor and natural scientist, Hans Jenny (1904-1972).
For 14 years he conducted experiments animating inert powders, pastes, and liquids into life-like, flowing forms, which mirrored patterns found throughout nature.
What's more, all of these patterns were created using simple sine wave vibrations (pure tones) within the audible range. So what you see is a physical representation of vibration, or how sound manifests into form through the medium of various materials.

Dr. Jenny's methodology was meticulous, well documented, and totally repeatable.
His fascinating body of work offers profound insights into both the physical sciences and esoteric philosophies.

Hans Jenny explains (the main picture of this tribe):

"We see in front of us the result of complex periodic vibration, a musical tone becoming a 'visible' figure in which one or more intervals are featured. One must always bear in mind that these phenomena are generated by sound. If the sound is removed the whole picture along with its dynamics will disappear and return again immediately when the sound is restored. These phenomena are subject to definite laws and are repeatable at any time.... The resultants of harmonic vibrations are at all times so strictly law-ordered that it is possible to draw up a systematology of morphogenesis. What one must bear in mind is that under this or that quite specific set of conditions Nature produces this form only and no other. Nothing here is diffuse and indeterminate; everything presents itself in a precisely defined form. The more one studies these things, the more one realizes that sound is the creative principle. It must be regarded as primordial."

<<<<<<<(O)>>>>>>>

"In the beginning was the word..." takes on a whole new meaning in light of this incredible discovery.

Harmonies - cultural parallels in creation mysticism

sayr — Sat, 27 Dec 2003 11:21:19 GMT

The Hebrew, Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist traditions are parallel in that they all trace the creation of the physical universe back to an "original" sound.
For Hindu and Tibetan cosmology it is the sound "Om" or "Aum". In the Hebrew creation account, it is the sound produced by "the Voice of God", an original vibration resulting in supernal energy …or light.

Another amazing parallel between the Hebrew and Hindu mystics is that they both utilize the hexagram (two opposed equilateral triangles... aka "Star of David") as the symbol of the creation of the universe. These two parallels are not only interrelated, they are also based on nature... because if you were to look into the center of that original vibration (any musical tone), what you would see is a mandala consisting of a group of hexagrams that are intertwined and locked together.

Each "Star of David" corresponds to a partial or harmonic overtone that is contained in the original or whole tone. These harmonic notes (and their vowel counterparts) also correlate with -and affect- the human body's various energy centers.

*Note: The main picture of this tribe is an actual photo of a sound wave's manifestation as a vibrating, geometric light pattern. A perfect example of what we're talking about.

~~~ like a snowflake …each individual is slightly unique, but always having the same basic nature.

~~~ for as long as I have known, I have always wondered... how come snowflakes are always composed of interlocking hexagrams?
