land-art-dietmar-voorworld-3

Dietmar Voorwold, a German artist based in Scotland, creates beautiful and temporary works of natural land art by arranging rocks, leaves and other natural materials into simple, but beautiful geometric shapes and patterns.

Most of his art is created with materials found on-site, so almost anyone can try their hand at land art.

Voorwold leaves his geometric artworks behind, so all that’s eventually left of them are photographs and his memories.

It is just for the moment. This is a very therapeutic aspect of my way of creating art. – Voorwold

A strong believer in the therapeutic value of art, Voorwold also holds art therapy classes for people, teaching them to create their own land art.

Metaphysical Aspects of the 5 Platonic Solids

Metaphysical Aspects of the 5 Platonic Solids | Third Monk image 7

5 Platonic Solids

Platonic Solids are the basic building blocks of all life, the language of creation used and described in many religions and cultures for thousands of years.

Each of the Platonic Solids and their associated elements, chakras and energies, are aligned to be used in natural healing, metaphysical studies and spiritual endeavours.

You can work with each shape individually or as a collective to tap into their universal power.

Hexahedron (Cube)

Hexahedron

♦  Earth Element
♦  Root Chakra
♦  Sits flat and firm, is solid and sturdy
♦  Key Function: Grounding
♦  Reconnects energy to earth and nature
♦  Regaining refocus
♦  Removing tension and easing physical stresses
♦  Great for work, in car, children and pets.

Icosahedron

Icosahedron

♦  Water Element
♦  Sacral Chakra
♦  Key Function: Transformation
♦  Helps one go with the movement, flow and changes of life effortlessly
♦  Teaches us to ‘go with the flow’
♦  Enhances the creative thought process and freedom of emotional expression
♦  Unblocks and removes emotional stressors that block creative energies
♦  Connected to sexuality, fertility and reproduction.

Tetrahedron

Tetrahedron

♦  Fire Element
♦  Solar Plexus
♦  Key Function: Manifestation
♦  3rd Dimension
♦  Sits flat no matter which side, perfect symbol for balance and stability
♦  Balance between the physical and spiritual
♦  Supports personal power and acceptance
♦  Creates change.

Octahedron

Octahedron
♦  Air Element
♦  Heart
♦  4th Dimension
♦  Key Function: Integration
♦  Cultivates acceptance, forgiveness, love and compassion for self and others
♦  Its mirroring or self-reflecting shape moves us to a higher vibration of reflection, compassion and healing – As Above, So Below.

Dodecahedron

Dodecahedron

♦  Ether Element
♦  Third Eye, Crown and Higher (8th and above) Chakras
♦  Key Function: Ascension and mystery
♦  Represents divine creation associated with the Universe
♦  Holds a very high but gentle energy so helps cultivate a higher vibration in meditation
♦  An expression of life & consciousness beyond physical vibrations of the body
♦  Connect to Higher Self or Source energy.

Fractals – The Hidden Dimension That Designs Our Universe (Documentary)

Fractals - The Hidden Dimension That Designs Our Universe (Documentary) | Third Monk image 4

Mysteriously beautiful fractals are shaking up the world of mathematics and deepening our understanding of nature.

What do movie special effects, heart attacks and the rings of Saturn have in common?

You may not know it, but fractals, like the air you breathe, are all around you. Their irregular, repeating shapes are found in cloud formations and tree limbs, in stalks of broccoli and craggy mountain ranges, even in the rhythm of the human heart.

In this film, NOVA takes viewers on a fascinating quest with a group of maverick mathematicians determined to decipher the rules that govern fractal geometry. Discovered by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot, fractals are the architecture used by nature.

Their remarkable findings are deepening our understanding of nature and stimulating a new wave of scientific, medical, and artistic innovation stretching from the ecology of the rain forest to fashion design.

The documentary highlights a host of filmmakers, fashion designers, physicians, and researchers who are using fractal geometry to innovate and inspire.

Cymatics – Bringing Matter to Life with Sound (Video)

Cymatics - Bringing Matter to Life with Sound (Video) | Third Monk image 5

200907_water_sound5

Dr. Hans Jenny made use of crystal oscillators and an invention of his own – the tonoscope – to set plates and membranes vibrating to show how sand and fluids react to the vibration.

This is called Cymatics.

These original films of Cymatics experiments were made in the 1960’s by Dr. Hans Jenny. They depict amazing experiments that produce physically visual representations of sound.

Cymatics – Bringing Matter to Life with Sound – Part 1

This is not unregulated Chaos. It is a dynamic but ordered pattern. – Dr. Hans Jenny

Bringing Matter to Life – Part 2

The more one studies these things, the more one realizes that sound is the creative principle. It must be regarded as primordial. No single phenomenal category can be claimed as the aboriginal principle. We cannot say, in the beginning was numbers or in the beginning was symmetry, etc….. They are not themselves the creative power. This power is inherent in tone, in sound.
– Hans Jenny

Bringing Matter to Life – Part 3

I remember the joy of looking at the cymatic sound patters, and the wonderful sense of “Yes!” that  rippled through my being. Each picture was worth at least a thousand words and I felt as though I were reading volumes in just a few minutes.
– Dr. John Beaulieu, “A Commentary on Cymatics” in the foreword of the 2001 edition of Cymatics by Hans Jenny

Cymatics – The Study of Visible Sound and Vibration (Video)

Cymatics - The Study of Visible Sound and Vibration (Video) | Third Monk

Evan Grant demonstrates the science and art of Cymatics, a process for making sound waves visible. Useful for analyzing complex sounds (like dolphin calls), cymatics also raises some philosophical questions with the correlation between high frequencies and complex shapes. 

Cymatic Shapes with Sound & Water

Cymatic Shapes with Salt on a Metal Plate

Vibrating a metal plate with sand creates wave patterns such as concentric circles. The higher the frequency, the more complex the shapes produced, with certain shapes having similarities to traditional mandala designs.

Cymatic Rotation

Dr. Hans Jenny in his studies, demonstrates rotary movement controlled by frequency.

Sonic Geometry – The Language of Frequency and Form (Video)

Sonic Geometry - The Language of Frequency and Form (Video) | Third Monk image 6

Throughout history, numerous clues and hints regarding geometry and frequency have been pulling at our imaginations, pointing to the possibilities. Here at the dawn of a new age, this sonic geometry puzzle is finally nearing completion, revealing the building blocks of a language based on energy, frequency and form. How will we use it? With whom will we be communicating? Now that we know the basics of this new language, maybe we are ready to begin the conversation…. again? – Sonic Geometry
