Once You Understand Cymatics, You Become Dangerously Magnetic — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Imagine I take a thin metal plate and
- 0:02scatter sand across it. And then I take
- 0:04sound waves and I point them towards the
- 0:06sand. The sand begins to dance across
- 0:07[music] the plate organizing itself into
- 0:09some of the most amazing geometric
- 0:11shapes that you've ever seen. And then I
- 0:13change the frequency of the sound and
- 0:15the sand reorganizes into an entirely
- 0:17new complex pattern. Now, here's the
- 0:20question. If an invisible sound wave can
- 0:22shape physical matter like sand, is it
- 0:25possible that the material experience of
- 0:27what you call reality is also being
- 0:29shaped and formed by an invisible
- 0:31energetic force? I believe that question
- 0:33can fundamentally change your life. So,
- 0:34in this episode, I'm going to introduce
- 0:36you to the study of something pretty
- 0:38amazing called cymatics. How vibration
- 0:40organizes matter into structure and
- 0:42shape. You're going to discover how your
- 0:44inner state may be shaping your reality
- 0:46and I'm going to give you a practical
- 0:47way to interrupt a pattern that has been
- 0:49holding some problem or challenge in
- 0:51place so that you can transform it into
- 0:53a reality that reflects back what you
- 0:55actually want. So, let's get into it.
- 1:00All right, guys. I want to explain
- 1:01something really extraordinary called
- 1:03cymatics. Now, cymatics is the study of
- 1:06how vibration produces visible patterns
- 1:08in physical materials. And the classic
- 1:11example is the one that I described. You
- 1:12put sand on a plate and you make the
- 1:14plate vibrate and the sand moves and
- 1:16depending upon the type of frequency,
- 1:19the sand organizes into really complex
- 1:21mandala-like geometric shapes. One of
- 1:24the early pioneers of cymatics was a man
- 1:26named Ernst Chladni and he used a violin
- 1:28bow to make metal plates vibrate and he
- 1:31showed people the patterns that appeared
- 1:32in the sand. And this was centuries ago,
- 1:35but you can imagine how shocking this
- 1:36would be to somebody witnessing this.
- 1:38Invisible forces like sound shaping the
- 1:40physical world. In the 20th century, a
- 1:43man named Hans Jenny documented all
- 1:45kinds of these phenomena using sand and
- 1:47powders and paste and liquid. Jenny was
- 1:50the one who coined the term cymatics.
- 1:53And then this guy, Masaru Emoto, you may
- 1:55have heard of him. He took cymatics to
- 1:57another level. Emoto and his team put
- 1:59water into separate jars and put labels
- 2:01on the bottles with words or phrases
- 2:03like thank you or love and gratitude or
- 2:07you're an idiot. For other experiments,
- 2:09they played music to the water or they
- 2:10had people direct prayer or intention
- 2:12towards it. And then they took small
- 2:14drops from each water sample, froze
- 2:16them, and then they looked at the frozen
- 2:18drops under a microscope. And what Emoto
- 2:20reported finding was that the drops from
- 2:22the jars that had labels like thank you
- 2:24or love and gratitude
- 2:25produced photographs of really complex,
- 2:28orderly, beautiful, geometrically
- 2:30patterned crystals. And water that had
- 2:32labels with insulting phrases like you
- 2:34idiot were reported to produce
- 2:36unstructured and broken formations that
- 2:38had little organization and shape. Now,
- 2:40based on this, what Emoto claimed was
- 2:42that the meaning or intention presented
- 2:44or directed toward the water influenced
- 2:46its structure. And he found similar
- 2:48results when people prayed or sang or
- 2:50played music near the water. So, Chladni
- 2:53made sand move into beautiful patterns
- 2:55through vibration and sound. Emoto
- 2:57exposed water to words and music and
- 2:59intention and noticed significant
- 3:00differences when comparing frozen
- 3:02droplets. And what cymatics is showing
- 3:04us is that vibration can organize a
- 3:07particular physical material and can
- 3:09hold that structure as long as the
- 3:11vibration persists and that the quality
- 3:13of the vibration or the frequency
- 3:15determines the structure, the beauty,
- 3:17and the order of the material formed.
- 3:19So, let's translate this to something
- 3:21more practical. Is it possible that
- 3:24reality is like water or sand or powder?
- 3:28In other words, a field of potential,
- 3:30and that you can influence that energy
- 3:32or that potential into different shapes
- 3:35and structures that materialize. And
- 3:37that as long as you maintain your
- 3:39influence, the structure holds in place.
- 3:41And when you change the influence, that
- 3:42structure changes. Now, this is very
- 3:44much in alignment with the idea that you
- 3:46create your reality. The question would
- 3:48be, what is the influence that you're
- 3:50generating on your reality that is
- 3:52forming it into a physical structure.
- 3:54And the answer that seems obvious to
- 3:56someone exploring this idea is that it
- 3:58is your energy. Because you are the
- 4:01source of a significant amount of
- 4:02energetic output. I want you to think
- 4:04about this.
- 4:05You have thousands of thoughts every
- 4:07single day.
- 4:08Those thoughts trigger hundreds, if not
- 4:10thousands, of emotions every single day.
- 4:12And each of those thoughts and each of
- 4:14those emotions are electrical impulses
- 4:16and broadcasts that are taking place
- 4:18from the neural networks in your brain
- 4:19and from your nervous system. It's like
- 4:21a symphony every moment of every day of
- 4:24trillions of neurons playing a wide
- 4:26variety of frequencies. Add to that that
- 4:28the average person speaks something like
- 4:3012,000 to 16,000 words in a day, and all
- 4:32of that is frequency. And the suggestion
- 4:35is that all of this frequency is
- 4:37interacting with what you might call the
- 4:38field, or the Hindus referred to it as
- 4:40the akasha, or in new age it's referred
- 4:43to as the fourth dimension or the ether
- 4:45or source energy. And that field is
- 4:47organizing into this thing that we call
- 4:49reality.
- 4:51So, you are the violinist, and you are
- 4:53holding a pattern in place vis-a-vis
- 4:56your personal symphony, and that pattern
- 4:58is called your life. And I want you to
- 5:00think for a moment about the tune that
- 5:02you're playing. The labels that you are
- 5:04putting on the jar, right? Are they
- 5:06positive labels or negative labels?
- 5:08How often are you beating yourself up or
- 5:11criticizing yourself or saying things
- 5:13like, "I'm not as far along as I should
- 5:15be." or "Money is hard to make." or
- 5:17"Nobody helps me."
- 5:19What are the words that you're saying
- 5:20out loud? How often do you complain or
- 5:23criticize others? And I'm not saying
- 5:25you're wrong for thinking or feeling or
- 5:27speaking the way you do, but what I'm
- 5:28saying is that we need to understand
- 5:30that these are the labels that we are
- 5:33putting on the jar.
- 5:34And that is why the ancients and the
- 5:36sages and the scriptures, they all speak
- 5:38to this concept that you need to watch
- 5:40what you think and what you say. Death
- 5:42and life are in the power of the tongue.
- 5:44Be not conformed to this world, but be
- 5:46transformed by the renewing of what?
- 5:48Your mind.
- 5:50This is where I think some of the
- 5:51spiritual teachings become really
- 5:52interesting. Maybe you've heard of the
- 5:54law of attraction or the law of
- 5:55vibration or the law of correspondence
- 5:57or the mirror principle. These aren't
- 5:58identical concepts, but they're all
- 6:00pointing us toward a relationship
- 6:01between what's going on within us and
- 6:04what we experience in the world around
- 6:06us.
- 6:07Now, one of the distinctions that I
- 6:08teach is called the two states of being.
- 6:10Essentially, we only operate in one of
- 6:12two states, either a powerful state or
- 6:14primal state. You're always in one state
- 6:17of being or the other and you're never
- 6:18in two states of being at the same time.
- 6:21A primal state is where we're operating
- 6:23from limiting beliefs and negative
- 6:24emotions. Emotions like stress or
- 6:27anxiety, shame, resentment, and guilt
- 6:31that might be generated by thoughts
- 6:33like, "I'm not enough." or "I'm behind."
- 6:36"This is never going to work out." or
- 6:38"Nobody cares about me." Right? In fact,
- 6:41what's interesting is that the only
- 6:42thing that moves you into a primal state
- 6:45are the thoughts themselves. In other
- 6:47words, it's not the amount of money in
- 6:48your bank account, it's not how far
- 6:50along you are on a project or in your
- 6:51life, it's not the circumstance or
- 6:52situation that is making you feel a
- 6:55particular way. Your thoughts are the
- 6:57only contributors to the way that you
- 6:58feel. Like the only thing causing you to
- 7:00feel that way is what you're thinking,
- 7:02not the experience that you're having.
- 7:05And when you're in that state, that
- 7:07means you've slapped a negative label on
- 7:09your jar. And so, what's happening in
- 7:11that moment is that you are inviting
- 7:13reality to organize or crystallize into
- 7:16experiences, circumstances, and
- 7:18situations that are going to be broken
- 7:20or disorderly or undesirable.
- 7:24A powerful state is when you feel
- 7:26something like joy or excitement or
- 7:28peace or curiosity. In that state, you
- 7:31think thoughts that feel good. Like,
- 7:33"This is going to work out." or "Life is
- 7:34abundant." or "It feels good to have
- 7:36support." or "I'm grateful for the way
- 7:38things are." Those are the labels you're
- 7:40putting on your jar from a powerful
- 7:42state and therefore life begins to
- 7:43organize in ways that reflect those
- 7:46thoughts and emotions back to you.
- 7:48Again, this is sometimes why this
- 7:50phenomenon is described as the law of
- 7:51attraction or the law of correspondence
- 7:53because life corresponds to your
- 7:55predominant habit of vibration, which is
- 7:58your habit of belief and habit of
- 7:59thought and habit of feeling and the
- 8:01words that you speak. So, let me share a
- 8:02personal example. There are plenty of
- 8:04times when I'm working on something that
- 8:06matters enormously to me and I can feel
- 8:09the pressure to get it exactly right. In
- 8:11fact, that was happening to me just this
- 8:12morning. My mind starts saying, "If I
- 8:14don't figure this out quickly, I'm going
- 8:16to run out of time." or "If I make the
- 8:18wrong decision, this whole thing might
- 8:19not work." And when I'm in that state, I
- 8:22may think I'm being responsible, but if
- 8:24I look closely, I can actually see the
- 8:25effects. I feel more urgency. I have
- 8:28less patience. I have less presence. I
- 8:31can put pressure on the people around me
- 8:34when what we really need is peace or
- 8:37calm or room to think or space to let
- 8:40new perspectives or ideas drop in.
- 8:43So, I have to notice when I move into a
- 8:46primal state and say, "Okay, what is the
- 8:48thought or belief that is creating this
- 8:50feeling for me? Like, what label did I
- 8:52just slap on the jar?"
- 8:54Because a primal state is not going to
- 8:56help me to be creative and successful,
- 8:58right? That's not the energy that is
- 9:00going to attract help or synchronicity
- 9:02or resources.
- 9:03The water of life is going to reflect
- 9:06back to me whatever label I'm putting on
- 9:08the jar.
- 9:09But, the good news is that I have the
- 9:11pen in hand. I get to choose what label
- 9:13I give myself for my life or my reality
- 9:15and through the power of frequency, I
- 9:18can change my reality, right? That's the
- 9:20implication of cymatics.
- 9:22Now, let's take this a step further.
- 9:24Remember, Emoto was showing how water as
- 9:26a medium is responsive to words or to
- 9:28thoughts or to prayers. What's
- 9:30interesting is our bodies are 60% water,
- 9:33right? Your lungs are 83% water. Your
- 9:34brain and heart 73%. Muscles and kidneys
- 9:3779% your water and skin 64% water. So
- 9:42water is the medium that runs through
- 9:44your entire body and what Emoto suggests
- 9:46is that water responds to vibration. It
- 9:49responds in orderly structured beautiful
- 9:51ways to positive thoughts and words.
- 9:54It becomes unstructured broken and ugly
- 9:56when exposed to negative thoughts and
- 9:58words. In other words, the labels or
- 10:00beliefs that you're holding aren't just
- 10:02shaping your external world, they're
- 10:04actually influencing the structure of
- 10:06the water in your body. So it's worth
- 10:08asking what message am I sending to my
- 10:11cells? Nokia University came out with
- 10:14some groundbreaking research in 2025
- 10:16that demonstrated that sound waves can
- 10:19influence cellular behavior and gene
- 10:21expression. They found that acoustic
- 10:23vibrations activated nearly 190 sound
- 10:27sensitive genes. And this concept, which
- 10:30I'm not making up, is called cellular
- 10:32hearing. And when you look at how much
- 10:35stress modern society is processing, the
- 10:38limiting beliefs, the unprocessed
- 10:40traumas, the anxiety, the depression,
- 10:42the danger, the anger,
- 10:44it doesn't take a leap of faith to
- 10:46imagine that maybe, just maybe, the
- 10:47water in our body is responding to the
- 10:49label that we're slapping on it.
- 10:52You know, recently I was speaking at an
- 10:53event with about 150 entrepreneurs and I
- 10:55asked, "How many of them were dealing
- 10:57with some form of chronic pain or
- 10:59fibromyalgia or skin issues, digestive
- 11:01issues, back issues, autoimmune
- 11:04conditions, something that was affecting
- 11:05their day-to-day experience?" And about
- 11:0780 to 85% of the hands went up in the
- 11:09room and it brought up an awareness of
- 11:12how we tend to speak to our bodies when
- 11:14we don't feel good. Like what happens
- 11:16when you wake up in pain again after
- 11:19hoping today would be different or you
- 11:21see something on your skin that worries
- 11:23you or you're exhausted and you can't do
- 11:25what you had planned. Because most
- 11:27people feel frustrated and then they get
- 11:30angry. And after a little while, there's
- 11:32this feeling that your body is your
- 11:34enemy, and you get locked into this
- 11:36label that perpetuates the very thing
- 11:39that you're wanting to change. And I
- 11:41want to say this carefully because I
- 11:42know what it's like to be dealing with
- 11:43health issues and to have somebody imply
- 11:46that you caused them by thinking the
- 11:48wrong way, the physical condition is
- 11:50real, and at the same time, if we're
- 11:52living as if we're in a daily battle
- 11:54with our body, that battle becomes
- 11:56another label that is shaping our
- 11:57reality. And it's the same thing with
- 11:59your job or your business or your
- 12:02relationship. Are you directing loving
- 12:04phrases towards those things or are you
- 12:06arguing with them because they're not
- 12:08necessarily working the way that you
- 12:10want them to? And I'm not asking you to
- 12:12judge yourself for being angry. Of
- 12:13course, you may be angry. I'm asking
- 12:15whether that anger is the only
- 12:17relationship available. Because there's
- 12:20an opportunity to become aware of the
- 12:21label that you've put on something and
- 12:23to consider changing the label. And I
- 12:25can tell you from my own experience of
- 12:27being single and feeling alone for 10
- 12:29years and having two homes in
- 12:31foreclosure and a failed business and a
- 12:32bunch of credit card debt and little to
- 12:34no money in my name, feeling purposeless
- 12:37in my life, to now having more money
- 12:39than I ever thought possible, married to
- 12:41the woman of my dreams, doing something
- 12:43I'm passionate about on a daily basis,
- 12:45what changed was the label.
- 12:47It wasn't that I figured out some
- 12:49magical financial strategy or bought a
- 12:51bunch of cryptocurrency or built the
- 12:53perfect profile on a dating app or found
- 12:55some novel business idea because I
- 12:57didn't. I changed the way I looked at my
- 12:59current reality and my current reality
- 13:01changed.
- 13:03So, I want to do this real quick
- 13:04together. I want you to think of one
- 13:05area of your life where you feel some
- 13:07friction right now. It might be your
- 13:10work, it might be a relationship or
- 13:13money or your health. Something you're
- 13:15trying to create that feels slower or
- 13:17harder than you had hoped or a problem
- 13:18or a challenge that just doesn't seem to
- 13:21want to shift. I want you to complete
- 13:23this sentence.
- 13:24When I think about this thing,
- 13:26I worry that
- 13:28blank.
- 13:30Okay? This is a really simple way to
- 13:31find the thought or the charge behind it
- 13:33because ultimately every negative
- 13:34emotion comes back to some form of fear.
- 13:36Even when you're angry, it's because
- 13:38you're afraid of something.
- 13:39When I think about this thing,
- 13:42I'm worried that
- 13:44blank.
- 13:45Okay? Could be a lot of different
- 13:46things. Imagine it's I'm falling behind.
- 13:49Okay, let's use that as the example.
- 13:52First, we acknowledge what it is that
- 13:54you're thinking and feeling. Okay,
- 13:55there's no argument. There's no attempt
- 13:56to dress it up. It's I'm falling behind
- 13:59is the belief or the thought that we've
- 14:00found. It's moving us into a primal
- 14:03state. Now, ask yourself this question,
- 14:05right? Does that move you into a
- 14:07powerful or primal state, right? First,
- 14:09take a look at that. Does that thought
- 14:10make you feel good or make you feel bad?
- 14:12Of course, it makes you feel bad cuz
- 14:13we've set that up for this example.
- 14:15So, it moves you into a primal state.
- 14:17Here's where we want to change the label
- 14:19cuz we don't want to continue that have
- 14:21that label on the thing or that belief.
- 14:23What do we want to change it to? Well,
- 14:25some form of the opposite.
- 14:26Like what's the opposite label that we
- 14:28would want to put on the jar that could
- 14:30crystallize something really beautiful
- 14:31for us in this area of our life, the
- 14:33reality that we want to create?
- 14:35I like to keep this real simple, so I'd
- 14:37say rather than I'm falling behind, it
- 14:38might be something like I'm right where
- 14:39I need to be
- 14:41or I'm exactly where I should be. And
- 14:43then ask yourself, this is the next
- 14:44step, the last step, one more question.
- 14:47You want to ask this question a few
- 14:48times.
- 14:49Okay, got it. What evidence do I have
- 14:51for the fact that this new thought or
- 14:53this new label is true? So, okay. Well,
- 14:56what evidence do I have for the fact
- 14:57that I'm right where I need to be? Well,
- 15:00it might be I'm in my process with this
- 15:02thing. I'm learning as I go along,
- 15:05right? Everybody and everything goes at
- 15:06its own pace, but I'm making some
- 15:07progress, right? Okay, that feels good.
- 15:10That's more in alignment with a powerful
- 15:12state. That's a better thought or a
- 15:13better label, isn't it? Then you ask
- 15:15yourself the question again. Okay, what
- 15:16evidence do I have for the fact that I'm
- 15:18right where I need to be or I'm right on
- 15:20track with this is true?
- 15:22Okay, how about Well, this is the
- 15:24process of learning. Like every day I'm
- 15:26learning more. I'm understanding how
- 15:28this thing works. I'm starting to build
- 15:30up a little momentum. Every day I'm a
- 15:31little further along than the last.
- 15:33Okay, cool. That feels more accurate,
- 15:35right? And it's true.
- 15:37And it feels better.
- 15:38And maybe you ask one more time, right?
- 15:40What evidence do I have for the fact
- 15:41that this new label, right? This new
- 15:43belief that I'm exactly where I need to
- 15:45be is true.
- 15:47And you go, "Okay, um look,
- 15:50uh I've been in a place like this
- 15:51before. In fact, I kind of always worry
- 15:53that I'm falling behind, but that's
- 15:54almost never been true. I almost always
- 15:56get things across the finish line. In
- 15:57fact, most of the time things work out
- 15:59pretty well for me. I feel like I'm
- 16:01getting close to figuring this thing
- 16:02out. I just need to stay consistent for
- 16:04a little longer." And this is the
- 16:06process. It's a simple but really
- 16:08powerful process. We call it the
- 16:09decision matrix. Step one is identify
- 16:11the limiting belief. Step two is a new
- 16:12decision or a new label. Step three is
- 16:14find evidence for the fact that the new
- 16:16decision is true.
- 16:18What's happening is you're taking an old
- 16:19belief, which is a memory, and you're
- 16:21finding an opposite belief, and you're
- 16:23building evidence for it. You're tapping
- 16:25into dormant memories that support this
- 16:27new empowering thought or this new
- 16:29belief or new decision or new label. And
- 16:31as you do that, you do what's called
- 16:33neural pruning. You start to deactivate
- 16:36the old belief and activate the new one.
- 16:38And it's something you have to practice,
- 16:40but after a little bit of practice, the
- 16:42new belief starts to become the
- 16:44predominant thought, and what eventually
- 16:45happens is that reality begins to
- 16:48reorganize to reflect that new belief
- 16:50back to you.
- 16:52It's like change the label on the jar,
- 16:54and you change the way the field of
- 16:55reality organizes. Now, tomorrow you may
- 16:58notice the old thought again. That
- 16:59doesn't mean you failed. It means you
- 17:01caught the pattern. You can make the
- 17:02decision again. You can take the next
- 17:04action from it. That's why I talk so
- 17:06much about practice.
- 17:08We don't transform ourselves by having
- 17:09one perfect thought. We change as we
- 17:11recognize what we've been repeating, and
- 17:14we begin repeating something different.
- 17:16So, I want to bring us back to the plate
- 17:17covered in sand. What would it be like,
- 17:20this is the question, to change the
- 17:22label to something like I am enough?
- 17:26To everything that happens is perfect.
- 17:28To life is working for my greatest
- 17:30growth, my greatest prosperity, or
- 17:31greatest evolution.
- 17:33What would that be like? You don't have
- 17:35to force a beautiful pattern into
- 17:36existence by tomorrow morning. I'm just
- 17:38inviting you into a decision matrix.
- 17:40Start by noticing what's there.
- 17:42Get curious about what you've been
- 17:44labeling. And then choose one new
- 17:46decision and see what happens when you
- 17:47live from that new label. That's the
- 17:50practice. Super simple. So,
- 17:52I want to give you
- 17:54an opportunity to get some support on
- 17:56this. And if you haven't yet, I know so
