Unity between Wave and Form In the closing chapter of Cymatics, Jenny sums up these phenomena in a three-part unity. The fundamental and generative power is in the vibration which, with its periodicity, sustains phenomena with its two poles. At one pole we have form, the figurative pattern. At the other is motion, the dynamic process. These three fields— vibration and periodicity as the ground field, and form and motion as the two poles—constitute an indivisible whole, Jenny says, even though one can dominate sometimes. Does this trinity have something within science that corresponds? Yes, according to John Beaulieu, American polarity and music therapist. In his book Music and Sound in the Healing Arts, he draws a com- parison between his own three-part struc- ture, which in many respects resembles Jenny's, and the conclusions that (Source: http://www.mysticalsun.com/ cymatics/cymatics.himl; for more informa - tion, visit http://www.mysticalsun.com.)
