Did you know that in the early universe, theory points to sound as the organizing principle for the matter that later evolved into stars, galaxies — and even life on Earth?
Billions of years later, sound is still helping to organize matter — including your body, biological functions, health, and overall sense of wellbeing.
Sound and music therapies from ancient times to the modern era have used a range of frequencies to ease pain, repair tissue and bones, and reduce illness and stress.
These therapies include the mesmerizing sounds of the ancient Egyptian sistrum rattle, the body-balancing vibrations of Acoustic Meridian Intelligence (AMI) devices, and ultrasound in the natural world.
The emerging science of cymatics, the science of visible sound, is expanding the parameters of what was previously thought possible in sound therapy. And it’s generating new cascades of scientific and therapeutic potential in the process.
During this groundbreaking course from acoustics-physics scientist John Stuart Reid, inventor of the CymaScope instrument, you’ll unravel the mysteries and healing potential of sonic science, the cymatic patterns that influence your health at a cellular level...
... and be immersed in the medicine of sound, vibration, and music.
You’ll discover the science of resonance in healing, and experience stunning visual meditations that blend science, art, and sound.
And you’ll receive specific sound frequencies that are used in therapeutic ultrasound, infrasound, and audible sound to stimulate restorative biological responses that can recalibrate and balance your body systems.
You’ll also explore sonic science and cymatics with engaging visual meditations by guest speakers Dr. Mandara Cromwell, CEO of Cyma Technologies, and choreographer and yoga instructor Kate Holland.
And you’ll experience musical performances by renowned musicians Anders Holte and Cacina Meadu.
John’s groundbreaking work in cymatics spans decades, but was elevated to new heights by a personal healing experience he had when experimenting with sound frequencies in the Great Pyramid of Giza.
When a membrane was stretched across the chamber’s sarcophagus and then excited by sound, a series of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs appeared.
And, as if this weren’t astonishing enough — John was also simultaneously healed of debilitating back pain.
During your course from John, he’ll offer a wealth of never-before shared discoveries in sound and music that have unfolded during the last two decades, including how:
Experience demonstrations and experiments from John — for example, how sound transforms formless matter into elegant form on a Chladni plate when played with a violin bow.
See the healing frequencies of the ancient Egyptian sistrum instrument on a spectrum analyser instrument.
Experience an exercise that reveals how a mechanism in your vocal folds creates not only sound, but infrared light that can travel to the stars if you sing outside, carrying your unique song into the universe.
Are you ready to activate restorative cellular healing through powerfully transformative cymatics, sound, and music?
Are you curious about how advanced sound therapies can rewire your body, mind, and soul for vibrant health and awakened living?

John is an exceptional teacher. He has a way to make complicated material easily understandable. He teaches from his heart, not his head. His passion and enthusiasm is contagious. For me personally, as a student of sound healing using crystal bowls with Jeralyn Glass, this class has deepened my understanding, interest, practice, and application of sound healing. I would take any course that John offers in the future.
— Amy , Santa Barbara, California
John Stewart Reed’s course was so educational. Because of that course, I have a better understanding of how important sound is and how it plays a huge role in our everyday lives. My favorite part of the course was learning how our very own words can actually affect those with whom we’re speaking directly. As a mother of two teenagers, I’ve changed the ways in which I communicate to my children. Learning from this course that my words directly impact their DNA on a cellular level — that has taught me to speak to them with the intentions of love and kindness vs. yelling at them. Particularly when I’m disciplining them. I’ve noticed a huge change in how my children react and communicate back to me. They’re more responsive and engaged in what I’m saying, especially when they’re “in trouble.” I’m excited to see what else John has to teach in his upcoming courses.
— Steph , Carlsbad, California
I never knew sound frequencies had such a dramatic effect on our bodies. Reid’s work expanded my knowledge and was like a confirmation of things I had thought of — and so logical, when one thinks of it. His visual demonstrations are fantastic. I am toning more and drumming again.

I first encountered John Stuart Reid when he gave a lecture at the 11th Water Conference in Sofia, Bulgaria. I found his lecture on the holographic properties of water to be inspirational, highlighting the potential for the CymaScope instrument. So much so that upon my return to the U.S., I began to investigate how I could digitize this important new scientific tool, which would allow me and other scientists to analyze CymaGlyphs quantitatively.
— Sungchul Ji, professor at the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Rutgers University
John Stuart Reid’s development of the CymaScope has provided a precision instrument for the study of Faraday wave [cymatic] patterns in fluids, opening up new research possibilities. Our paper on Faraday wave patterns published in the journal Water would not have been possible without the innovative and careful work of John Stuart Reid, as well as his technical advice and guidance. He is a key figure in the study of the morphogenetic effects of vibrations, which are fundamental to many physical and biological processes.
— Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, author of A New Science of Life
John’s invention of the CymaScope instrument is a powerful example of his combined engineering-scientist intellect. His research in differentiating the sounds emitted by cancer cells and healthy cells, published in the Water journal (which I edit), carries great potential in medical science. So do his Water Conference lectures, which demonstrate his ability to inspire and stimulate discussion. These creative and inspirational works are self-evident to all.
— Gerald H. Pollack, professor at the University of Washington
Acoustics pioneer John Stuart Reid is on a mission to educate and inspire the world about the field of cymatics — the science of visible vibrations and sound. He asserts that sound is the foundation of almost all matter in the universe and was a potent force in the creation of life in the primordial oceans, thereby carrying the power to heal life.
In his lectures, John reveals groundbreaking information on the mechanisms that support Sound Therapy and Music Medicine, and how they can be applied to improve health naturally.
His CymaScope invention has forever changed the world’s perception of sound by giving us the ability to “see” sound and better understand this ubiquitous aspect of life. His cymatics research, which is elevating this important new field in scientific and medical arenas, includes a study on differentiating between the sounds emitted by healthy cells and cancer cells, published in the journal Water.
In John’s words, “The old adage ‘seeing is believing’ takes on an important new meaning — to see sound is to open a new window on our world, one that has been veiled for all time, until now.”
