Science discoveries support how energy heals with the tone of our voice
The School of Chi Energy discusses below how the latest in science discoveries supports how high level energy work affects the tone of our voice.
Recently I came across an article that explained to me, in great detail, the importance of being mindful with regards to our tone of voice and; why Sifus Jones and Cicero place great importance on this concept for those of us actively engaged in this training. Over the years, I have found myself the recipient of negative feedback in one form or another, both at home and at the office. The need to recalibrate, especially with regards to temperature and softness of chi energy forms, was something that I was readily able to grasp.
Sifu Jones pointed out several times that, regardless of my intentions or word choice, I was undoing myself. It was more often than not that the cause of my woes was directly related to my tone of voice.
I had an intellectual understanding of sound being a mechanical wave, and that this particular method of chi training would excite these waves exponentially. Even with the haptic feedback, as it were, that I would experience from those on the receiving end of my words, I did not have a true understanding until recently.
The title says it all: “Bristol University develops 3-D touchable hologram technology” – published on MyDailyNews.com
The simple statement contained in the article gave light to the gentle prodding of Sifu Cicero and weight to the words Sifu Jones was trying to get across to me over these past few years: “The device they created makes patterns in mid-air with focused ultrasound. The air disturbances are focused enough that a person can feel them.”
Without being mindful of my tones, I was not controlling the subsequent electrical magnetic energy forms being created by my sound waves with my own tone of voice. For most people in day to day life, physically feeling the words spoken by another human is something that does not intuitively makes sense. It hurts our sensibilities. Left haphazard, the beneficial results of the School of Chi Energy Circular method will have the reverse effect and tend to be similar to pointy javelins as opposed to soft and comfortable blankets that envelope and snuggle. On a conscious level, they may not understand what is happening, but subconsciously, they understood that whatever the discomfort, I was the cause.
And even now, although what feels like I have had a moment of clarity; I am thinking I have finally been able to perceive the tip of this particular iceberg. I am excited now more than ever, as I can see the importance of using the correct energy healing tones and forms when speaking. Knowing that shapes can be formed out of sound waves, methinks it is time to stack the deck in everyone’s favor. Win. WIN!
Be well and; enjoy the journey.

Update to 2025 latest scientific discoveries…
The University of Bristol’s breakthrough in creating 3D shapes that can be both seen and felt in mid-air dates back to around 2014. Researchers in the Bristol Interaction and Graphics group used arrays of ultrasonic transducers to focus high-frequency sound waves, generating haptic feedback — essentially, the feeling of touching floating virtual objects like spheres or buttons — without any physical contact.
This UltraHaptics (later Ultrahaptics, now part of Ultraleap) tech laid the groundwork for mid-air haptics. It sparked excitement about applications in surgery (feeling tumors in scans), museums (exploring artifacts safely), and touchless interfaces.
Here are some classic demo shots from that original ultrasound-based mid-air haptic system, showing hands interacting with invisible-but-feelable 3D shapes:



The company has kept evolving the core ultrasound haptics since then, focusing on commercial integrations like automotive controls and VR, but the pure “touchable hologram” feel remains mostly about sensation rather than photorealistic visuals.
Fast-forward to 2025, and things have jumped ahead with more complete interactive volumetric displays. The big leap came in early 2025 from researchers at Spain’s Public University of Navarra (UPNA), who unveiled FlexiVol — billed as the world’s first truly reach-through interactive 3D volumetric display.
Instead of rigid diffusers (which would smash into your hand), they used elastic, stretchy materials that flex around fingers. Combined with super-fast projection (up to ~2,880 frames/second) and real-time corrections, you can now safely poke, grab, pinch, rotate, and drag floating 3D objects using natural hand gestures — no gloves, controllers, or headsets needed. It’s glasses-free, multi-user friendly, and feels way closer to those iconic sci-fi scenes.
Check out these recent 2025 demo images of people directly manipulating volumetric holograms with FlexiVol:



It’s still a lab prototype (small display volume, some visual distortions when interacting), but user tests showed it outperforms traditional 3D mice in speed and accuracy for tasks like selecting or tracing objects. The team presented it at the CHI 2025 conference in Yokohama.

In short, Bristol kicked off the mid-air touch revolution a decade ago — but 2025’s volumetric advances like FlexiVol are finally letting us grab and reshape those floating illusions for real. The gap between sci-fi and reality keeps shrinking fast.
Here are some of the most exciting 2025 developments in sound-based technologies and physics:
1. Overcoming Limits in Acoustic Levitation
Physicists have solved a long-standing issue where multiple particles clump together during levitation. By combining electrostatics with sound waves, they can now assemble, adapt, and activate levitated matter precisely — opening doors to advanced manufacturing, bioengineering, and even 3D tissue patterning using sound.
Here are stunning visuals of acoustic levitation in action, where sound waves suspend and manipulate objects mid-air:

2. Cymatics Evolving into 3D Sound Sculptures
Cymatics — the visible patterns formed by sound vibrations — is moving from 2D plates to full 3D structures using acoustic levitation and advanced arrays. Researchers are creating intricate lattices and even exploring applications in nanotechnology, immersive art, and architecture shaped by vibration.
Check out these beautiful colorful cymatics patterns created by sound on vibrating plates:


These remind us how vibration organizes chaos into sacred geometry — a bridge between ancient practices and modern science.
3. Sonoluminescence: Sound Creating Light
Ongoing refinements in sonoluminescence (where intense sound waves collapse bubbles to produce bursts of light and extreme temperatures) continue to inspire fusion research and novel light sources. In 2025, focus has shifted to quantum aspects and applications in biomedical imaging.
Here’s the mesmerizing glow of a single bubble emitting light from sound:

These phenomena show sound’s power to transform energy at fundamental levels.
Other notable 2025 mentions include hybrid spin-sound waves for future 6G tech, advanced ultrasound haptics for touchless mid-air sensations (perfect for immersive healing interfaces), and quantum memory using sound waves to store information longer.
Truly, science is catching up to what we’ve long felt in practice: sound is a formative force. Practice with intention, and let these discoveries inspire deeper Chi work.
If you discover more gems from 2025, please share — the journey continues!
