Summsteine / Humming Stones

Stations-ID: D088

?? English instruction:

Put your head in one of the hollows of the humming stones and hum different tones to yourself: loud, quiet, high or low notes.

A partner can put his hand on your shoulder lightly during this experiment.

• What do you hear when humming in the hollow? What do you feel?

• Try different notes. Do they all sound the same?

• What does your partner feel when (s)he places his/her hand on your shoulder?

This experiment was designed by the educationalist, artist and carpenter Hugo Kükelhaus (1900-1984) for his ‘Experience Field for Developing the Senses’. He was inspired by stone age cult sites found on the island of Malta, he describes the effect of the experiment as follows: „The inner massage that is created in the head and reabsorbed by it signifies an unusually intense connection of the entire body from within.“
