Acoustics pioneer John Stuart Reid is an Acoustics-Physics Scientist & Inventor of the CymaScope 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.

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.

His work took a transformative turn inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, where he conducted an experiment in the King’s Chamber, and unknowingly healed himself of debilitating back pain, a revelation that deepened his understanding of sound’s therapeutic potential. This personal experience ignited his mission to explore the vibrational nature of healing.
