Cymatics: ‘The Science of Sound Made Visible’
It is said that 432 hertz tuning has a positive effect on water, and thus on our bodies since our bodies are mostly made of water. This is part of the reasoning behind claims that music tuned to
432 hertz can have healing effects.

The CymaScope, used in a field of study known as cymatics, described as “the science of sound made visible, is based on the principle that when sound encounters a membrane such as your skin or the surface of water, it imprints an invisible pattern of energy. In other words, the periodic vibrations in the sound sample are converted and become periodic water ripples, creating beautiful geometric patterns that reveal the once hidden realm of sound.”
When sound encounters a membrane such as your skin or the surface of water, it imprints an invisible pattern of energy.
Reid, an expert in the field of Cymatics tested the effect of A=432 hertz on water with the CymaScope at the request of leading 432 proponent Brian T. Collins. Collins published Reid’s response: “432 Hertz pops out as a triangle, every time we image it. We thought there was something wrong with the CymaScope but after trying for more than an hour we concluded that the number 3 was somehow universally connected to 432 Hertz.”
Cymatics shows patterns created by 432 hertz tuning to be aesthetically more pleasing than those created by 440 hertz. Results may vary based on the containers used to hold the water, varying the resulting patterns.
