Overview

Cymatics is the study of sound-wave phenomena and this astonishing book vividly depicts the significance of audible sound throughout our world. It presents, primarily through beautiful photographs, the effects of sound vibrations to excite powders, pastes and liquids into life-like, flowing forms. The resultant patterns can be found throughout nature, art and architecture. This new expanded edition includes the two volumes originally published in 1967 and 1974, plus a new foreword by New York Times best-selling author, Ted Gioia, who has written extensively about the impact of music upon culture throughout history. An assortment of commentaries by leading researchers, artists, and scientists, reveal how Jenny’s body of work has profoundly influenced a wide range of disciplines in the arts and sciences, particularly over the past twenty years. Dr Jenny’s images are awe-inspiring because of their visual beauty and because they demonstrate a fundamental principle of creation; resonance: the inherent responsiveness of matter to vibration. Employing the phenomenological approach of Goethe and Rudolf Steiner, Jenny’s keen observations and penetrating insights offer a uniquely comprehensive understanding of our world. The book is essential reading for students of sacred geometry, mandalas, metaphysics, sound healing and even crop circles.
