Sonatherapy Application SystemsTM
In 2004 Steamboat Healing Center began applying Cymatic Therapy for the public. The
unit we started with was the Cyma 1000 distributed by Cymatherapy International — now
Cyma Technologies International in Atlanta, Georgia. Steamboat Healing Center continues to
utilize that unit for clients seeking Cymatic/vibrational therapy.
While using the Cyma 1000 for several years with hundreds of clients, I decided that
there were additional vibrational techniques/technologies that might prove even more beneficial
in therapies. Therefore, I began to develop the combinatorial approach we have now trade-
marked as “Sonatherapy .” TM
In 2006 I presented at a conference held in Atlanta, at which time I said that it was
becoming clear that the pulsing of multiple-frequency arrays was desirable — and at specific
infrasonic rates, since it is now known that the lower frequencies and resonances have superior
healing potentials. I had determined that the best way to accomplish this pulsing and/or
panning was by having two stereo applicators, as opposed to a single monophonic applicator,
connected to a unit that could be programmed to produce more precise frequencies and
combinations. Further, I wanted a computer program wherein one could investigate numerous
“commutations” by actually typing in the numbers (including decimal places), while beginning
to visualize these “Sonations” in the lab as Cymatic geometries, for example, in a dish of water.
Shortly after 2006 a colleague, Steve Satra, developed a schematic to be used with the free
online program, Analog Box. (See below.)
Thus, we began building applicators, programming the Analog Box schematic, and
comparing Cymatic wave fronts in the studio in order to determine archetypal geometries and
“class” distinctions among hundreds/thousands of frequency combinations.
The Acoustic Foot Bath:
Early on we built and began using an acoustic foot bath. This unit is quite easy to
assemble. One only needs a plastic basin (large enough to accommodate the feet) with stereo
transducers glued to the bottom. The transducers are then connected to an amplifier carrying
sound from the computer Analog Box program and/or saved wave files.
The beauty, and simplicity, of this device lies in the fact that (1) sound travels 4.3 times
faster in water, (2) there is immediate transmission of the sound into the feet, legs, knees, hips,
spine, etc., (3) the two wave fronts from the transducers produce and even more powerful
90
“Vesica Piscis” in the center of the tub, and (4) other parts of the body and fields may be
treated with additional transducers while the client is enjoying a warm, geothermal, acoustic
foot massage.
Picture above is the bottom of the acoustic foot bath with two Vidsonix transducers
attached to the floor of the plastic tub. The tub is relatively hard (tensil density) with slightly
rounded corners — in order to avoid sharp angles that would alter the wave fronts.
In the photo above an additional water-proof applicator is being employed to further
entrain areas of the feet, lower legs, and knees. If the Sonatherapist has an amplifier set-up that
includes multiple stereo outlets, additional applicators may be used on other parts of the body,
e.g., solar plexus, shoulders, neck, head, etc.
The key to making sound applicators lies in acquiring good transducers. Over the past
several years we have ordered these from two primary sources:
(1) The Vidsonix company in North Carolina
http://www.vidsonix.com/
(2) The Rolen-Star company: Richtech in Stockton, California
http://www.invisiblestereo.com/
91
The two transducers are quite similar, but the Rolen-Star transducer is slightly larger
and heavier that the Vidsonix. Each of these models may be used directly as hand held
applicators, if properly attached to an amplifier.
Handheld Applicators:
If one wishes to have a handle, then a handheld illuminating magnifier (plastic) may be
used to hold the transducer(s). This is the approach we began following in 2004, but the
inexpensive white plastic magnifiers are sometimes difficult to find.
(See: http://www.seeitbigger.com/Carson_MagniTop_Magnifier_2x_p/ctt-pt90.htm).
The photo above shows a handheld illuminated magnifier. After removing the lens, a
transducer may be secured into the head. The handle opens to reveal a battery mechanism that
supplies the illuminating bulb. This bulb can be removed, an audio cable rewired in its place,
thereby, allowing the unit’s sound signal to be turned on or off at will.

These tactile transducers supply excellent sound with vibration (due to the central brass
pin) to the body and its fields. Because the Vidsonix transducer is lighter and smaller, it is more
easily managed as a handheld applicator. The Rolen-Star is a bit larger and heavier. The
advantage with the latter is that the electro-magnetic coil is thicker and puts out a much
stronger pulsed EMF signal.
Of course, the transducers are simply substitutes for the better designed applicators
made available by Trevor Hudson in England at Telesound, Ltd. (See:
http://www.telesound.co.uk/) These are the instruments based upon Sir Dr. Peter Guy
Manners’ original designs.
On the left is the standard sized Telesound sound applicator, while on the right are two
smaller (stereo) applicators. The larger is excellent for general applications, e.g., on the body,
in the fields, etc. The two smaller instruments may be used for stereo applications in smaller
areas, e.g., the eyes, around the head and ears, alongside the throat, toes, fingers,— or when
more subtle sound (applicators beside one another) may be more beneficial in a focused area.
Typical Set-Up:
In order to apply Cymatic Sonations to the client one must have (1) applicator(s), (2)
amplifier, (3) sound source — such as a computer, CD or DVD player, perhaps tape player.

We have found that analog sound (tape
players), with tube amplifiers, produce more
therapeutic sound than do digital units. However,
at this time there is no way to obtain the exactitude
in frequency counts, pulsing, panning, et al absent
a good computer program (digital) in place.
Oftentimes I advise individuals to at least
acquire a good set of speakers for their computers.
This is not only a good idea in general — for
hearing properly, but the speakers may also be
handheld and applied directly to the body and its
fields.
(Note: Some people also use quality headphones — even on the body.)
Home System:
In our home at Steamboat Hot Springs, my wife and I have set-up a simple system in
the den. It is comprised of two Vidsonix transducers, a Pyle Pro PTA3 150-watt amplifier, and
an RCA DVD player. I simply make DVDs of the Sonations for specific conditions, and we
may play these at home, for/on ourselves, as desired.
In the photos above one may see: On the left, DVD player, amplifier, transducers. Top
right: The Pyle Pro amplifier and transducers. Right below: The transducers have Velcro
patches attached so that they may be secured to another Velcro belt, e.g, for wrapping around
certain body areas — eliminating the need of holding the transducers while receiving Sonations.

Analog Box:
The schematic above was designed by Steve Satra and can be utilized on a computer to
create Sonations using Analog Box, the online program — now free to download. (See:
http://www.kvraudio.com/news/5544) In SONA, the schematic is given/ contained on the
“Data Disc” that comes with the book.
The schematic shows (Left to Right): (1) A slider that can move any Sonation up or
down four octaves; (2) Five independent frequency oscillators with “Level” control at the
bottom; (3) Five mixers; (4) “Pan Speed” box to set infrasonic pulsing rates; (5) Oscilloscope
at the top for viewing wave form; and, (6) Master “Output Level” that may be adjusted.
Light Applicators:
This photo is of the standard LED Light Applicator also
available from Telesound, Ltd. in England. Applicators for each
color of the spectrum may be obtained.
The applicator may be plugged directly into an audio
output — and will “pulse” with the sound.
At Steamboat Healing Center we have developed several
different ways of applying light and color with the Sonations. The
primary unit(s) we use employ theatrical PAR cans, on stands,
with colored filters, as needed. The color filters are obtained from
95
Cosolargy International, The Dinshah Society affiliates, and other sources. A simple “light
organ” is used to connect the sound output to the electrical supply for the PAR cans.
Note that one set of lamps is positioned for horizontal irradiations, while the one on the
tall stand can be moved and oriented at various angles.
Research & Development:
Over the years we have been developing new and better instrumentation for application
of the WFB Sonations. Below is an infrasonic applicator developed by Erik Larson that we use
all the time.

Steve Satra designed for us a water-proof applicator that emits full and rich signals in
Sonatherapy sessions.TM
Finally, Adam Reed has been developing the “SONA BOX,” which, when complete,
can be programmed via USB from a computer Excel chart to obtain any Sonation — with
analog output. Also capable of panning/pulsing the signals, the read out of the unit is accurate
to three or four decimal places. Having already tested the unit is sessions, we look forward to
the completion of this unit, which will be a huge contribution within the world of vibrational
healing.
