Crystal bowl

Article written by DILOV

We entered the quartz era just as the Tibetan bowl was born in the Bronze Age...It is a major mineral in our contemporary civilizations used as a frequency standard in many electronic applications.
Quartz is an inorganic substance composed of oxygen and silicon, it is a semiconductor and memory. It vibrates at frequencies ranging from tens of kilohertz to a few tens of megahertz.
A 70 kg human has about 8 g of silicon in his body. We find it in the aorta, skin, thymus and bones. Silicon also participates in the functioning of the immune system. It is also closely associated with DNA. In addition, silicon is said to have an action on the epiphysis or pineal gland. At the physiological level, this gland secretes melatonin. It therefore plays a central role in the regulation of biological sleep/wake rhythms and seasonal rhythms.
The vibrational level of the singing bowl is very high, due to the natural quartz that composes it. Its frequencies allow to activate what we call our crystalline body, one of our bodies of light, crucible of the crystalline identity of the being.
Their resonance is multidimensional. Their energetic movement is spiraled, like DNA, and unfolds in all directions. They recenter, align and expand everything at once. They have an impact, both on the physical and neurophysiological level in particular, as well as on the mental, emotional, psychic and spiritual level. And as a vibrational being by essence, we know how to spontaneously interact with the language of crystal bowls.
Thought becomes clearer, emotions calm down, the mind recovers a space of freedom because we enter, instantly, into a space-time different from our waking state! This change of state of consciousness is a facilitator to integrate all the vibrational and energetic changes of today.
These singing bowls are made from 100% pure quartz crystal, a natural element. The crystal is heated to 2200 degrees Celsius (4000 degrees Fahrenheit) and poured into a mold. Because our bodies are composed of a crystalline structure, using crystal bowls for healing or meditation purposes allows us to respond more quickly and favorably to the healing power of sound. This is why crystals are a key element in many holistic medicine practices.
USE :
It is advisable not to ring the bowls for more than 15-20 minutes at a time and to allow yourself a 15-minute break, in order to ensure that the energy field is not overloaded and to have the opportunity to better assimilate the energy change. When ringing a crystal bowl, it is necessary to always have positive intentions, since the bell becomes an extension of oneself.
Each bowl is connected to a note and a chakra
The musical scale "DO RE MI FA SOL LA SI" is connected to our chakras.
DO: 1st Chakra – Root Chakra
RE: 2nd chakra - sacral chakra
MI: 3rd chakra - Solar plexus chakra
LA: 4th chakra - Heart chakra
SOL: 5th Chakra – Throat Chakra
LA: 6th chakra - 3rd eye
IF: 7th chakra - Crown chakra
The pitch of the note depends on the size of the instrument: a small bowl produces a higher sound than a large bowl. Small crystal bowls have a high pitch and octave. Large bowls have a deep sound and a low octave. High notes generally have a purifying effect, while lower notes tend to relax and reassure. However, since each of us responds to sounds differently, the effect of the same bowl can vary from one subject to another. Bowls are generally available to create sharp or flat notes. Bowls capable of producing full notes are rare. Bowls of the same size can generate different notes and tones. This depends on the weight, pitch and thickness of the object. The relationship between the note and the size of the bowl also varies depending on the production technique, availability and precision of tuning.
You will probably get better results if before ringing the crystal bowl, you spend some time on your personal preparation. A simple breathing exercise will work very well. I advise you to take 3 deep and conscious breaths. Repeating this exercise for a few minutes will help you free your mind from negativity. Imagine that you and your crystal bowl are surrounded by light: you can visualize the color that corresponds to the bowl or a white light. What can also help you would be to think of a phrase repeating in the mind or out loud. This will help you keep your thoughts stable. You should not think, "I want this pain to stop," but rather, "My body (or the specific location) is free and serene" (or whatever phrase best expresses your intention). When you are relaxed and feel yourself and the space around you filling with light, then gently strike the rim of the bowl. Continue to sound the bowl by sliding the skin-covered mallet along the upper rim of the bowl. This will increase the duration and intensity of the sound. Many people rotate the mallet clockwise for specific reasons. Others believe that the direction of movement does not matter and rotate it counterclockwise, or both ways. Get in tune with your motivation.
Never insert your head into the bowl while playing. Do not hit the bowl or play too loudly, especially when you are close to a person's head. If you have more than one bowl, keep them about 30 cm apart, otherwise the vibrations could be crushed. On the other hand, people with metal prostheses have noticed some discomfort when being close to crystal bowls while they are ringing. Always ask before you start playing.
432 Hz for some bowls
Sound and music are made up of vibrations. The higher the number of vibrations per second, the higher the sound. The unit for this is Hertz (Hz). 432 Hz is the natural "tone" of the universe. This tone is inextricably linked to nature, mathematics, planetary orbits, the entire universe. All classical music by Bach, Brahms and so on was originally composed and performed using the "standard" A (= A4) on 432 Hz. Our "432 Hz" series of crystal singing bowls is also tuned this way. This leads to the following frequencies in the tones we sell *:
C4 = 257 Hz
D4 = 289 Hz
E4 = 324 Hz
F4 = 343 Hz
G4 = 385 Hz
A3 = 216 Hz
B3 = 244 Hz
Not only are tones tuned to the 432 Hz scale more pleasing to the ear, they also ensure a harmonious resonance of your entire “being” with our planet and the universe. This natural resonance leads to greater well-being of body and mind.
* A deviation of up to 4 Hz plus or minus is considered normal.
Additional information:
The seven musical notes correspond to the seven colours of the rainbow, and these are connected to the seven main chakras, energy centres along the vertebrae. Each Chakra has a specific resonant frequency. The pure tones of crystal singing bowls produce a field of sound vibrations that resonates in the body's energy centres (chakras) and corresponds to physical areas. Crystal bowls act directly on our chakras and facilitate the balancing of a high level of consciousness and the healing of the chakras.
Sound has been used throughout history to awaken, enhance, and harmonize each Chakra, in many cultures. Because each Chakra is vibrational in nature, and resonates at different frequencies, there are specific seed “sounds,” chants, and pitches used for these purposes. One of the most common forms of sound therapy is the use of specific tones to activate or attune each Chakra. The modern Western music system is actually based on ancient sound derivatives related to what the ancients called “Universal Harmonies.” It was commonly believed that different frequencies, tones, and harmonies could provide different healing qualities, but also the opposite!
Knowledgeable people can say that the semitones of these bowls have special effects on the harmonization of different endocrine glands: DO # - sexual glands, RE # - adrenal glands, FA # - thymus, G # - thyroid, LA # - pineal.
Disclaimer: Any healing properties listed are in no way intended to replace diagnosis or treatment by a qualified therapist or physician.
Depending on the covering material (rubber, leather, felt or wool), the mallet can generate different sounds. For this reason, we recommend purchasing different types. (Attention: NEVER strike these fragile bowls with wooden sticks!). Each mallet will produce a particular sound and vibration.
