How The Bowls Work On The Human Body
The pure
tones of crystal bowls carry through physical objects quite well. Due to the
crystalline nature of the human body and it's ability to resonate with specific
frequencies, we can benefit greatly by these pure tones. One reason the pure
tones vibrate our body is that it has a natural affinity to quartz. The human
body is composed of many crystalline substances, the bones, blood and DNA are
crystalline in structure as well as the liquid crystal-colloidal structure of
the brain. Even on a molecular level, our cells contain silica, which balances
our electromagnetic energies, and this is the same substance found in quartz
crystal.
How a Crystal Bowl is Made
Quartz
crystal bowls are basically made from sand. Sand can found all over the world
and most of it is in the form of silicone dioxide or quartz. Only the purest
sources of silica sand are used in the manufacture of crystal bowls.
The sand
is dropped into a centrifugal force spinning mold, and at the proper instant, in
the center of that mold, there is an electric arc torch that is ignited to
approximately 4000 degrees centigrade. It integrates the individual particles of
sand into an amorphous unified whole, which goes from being crystalline in
nature to being amorphous --or glass--in nature. The result is a synthesized
form of absolute timbre, which is able to send out a tone, perceptible by the
ear for almost 2000 feet. This process is known as quartz fusion.
Crystal singing
bowls come in two types, clear and frosted. Frosted bowls are made using the
method mentioned above. Clear bowls are made from cut sections of large diameter
quartz tubing that is melted and fuzed together at one end. Bowls can be created
to play to at certain frequencies.
Bowl Sizes and
Prices
Clear
bowls come is sizes that range in diameter from 6 inches - 12 inches. Prices on
clear bowls vary from $200 -
$400. Frosted bowls come is sizes that range in
diameter from 8 inches - 24 inches and vary in price from $200.
- $500.
Each bowl
is accompanied by a wooden stick that is covered with suede. They can rest on a
rubber "O Ring" base. As you move the stick around the perimeter of
the bowl it creates a harmonic tone that becomes stronger as you go around each
time. The bowl quickly appears to be singing.
You can
work with more than one bowl at the same time. Crystal bowls have definite eye
appeal. Clear bowls are lighter, more expensive and play best when held in the
hand. The sound from the clear bowls is often interpreted as more intense and
pure, and is preferred by some. The frosted bowls also emit a powerful,
resonance. The larger bowls are much more reverberant, with the tone lingering
longer, simply because of the size and amount of crystal. The size of the bowl
does not necessarily determine its note. A particular size of bowl may be
available in more than one note or tone. Pitch varies with weight, wall height,
and wall thickness. One will have a sense of which tone "feels" most
congruent with individual needs or desires. Some bowls may harmonize with
others, and when played simultaneously, the effect is exquisite and synergistic.
Healing with Sound
Sound
healing is the practice of using sound to realize and correct imbalances in the
body. Vibrations or frequencies are measured in cycles per second or simply
"Hertz". All things will vibrate or resonate to certain frequencies.
Sound as well as light are both vibrations. Sound healing works because, like
all matter, the human body is not solid. Rather it is energy that is held
together by sound. Any disease therefore, indicates that part of our system has
moved out of balance and is consequently vibrating at an off frequency.
Harmonious synchronization between the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual
bodies results in health. Probably the most direct and effective healing force
for restoring harmony is through the experience of powerful resonant sounds.
Crystal
Singing Bowls are ideal for use in the home or office to clear negative
energy and bring in positive chi, as crystals are widely used in
Feng Shui cures. The noted author Karen Kingston, in her book
Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui notes that crystals
"symbolically bring more positive life force into your home. Crystals
focus, activate and lift energy..." Since all of our crystal bowls
are made with the purest quartz crystal available, they naturally contain the
ability to energize, clear and enhance the energy in any environment.
Crystal Singing bowls can be seen to encompass both Yin and Yang energies, and
also contain several of the qualities of the Five Elements. The bowls are
rounded in a pleasing way, and as bowls, they are receptacles for Yin energy,
but when they are played, their sound and vibrations can bring forth the
energetic Yang forces that help cleanse and purify any space. They are made of
crystal, which is traditionally seen as Earth energy, but through their color,
appearance and use can also invoke Water or Metal. They are truly multi-purpose
tools for all occasions!!
The large
Frosted bowls contain great Earth energy and are excellent for maintaining the
beautiful atmosphere of harmony in a room, and when rung frequently, tend to add
a sense of stability and grounding to the chi in the home, without
generating stagnant energy. The deep resonance fills every part of the
space and is very purifying. The white color also draws in Metal energy
that is energizing and invigorating. White also represents purity and new
beginnings. For instance, you could place a large classic frosted
crystal bowl in an area which needs some stability but also could use a regular
source of energetic chi. If it is placed near a source of light, the bowl
can bring a beautiful radiance to any room, and the effect will only be enhanced
through regular toning!
An
added advantage of the crystal singing bowls, is that unlike ordinary containers
or bowls which may be used for Feng Shui purposes, the crystal singing bowls are
tuned to specific harmonic frequencies that can be used with intention to help
enhance specific qualities. For instance, you could place a clear crystal bowl
tuned to the F note for the Heart chakra in the Relationship area of your home
to help open yourself to love and to create a feeling of tranquility in your
relationship with a loved one. Then while toning the bowl, you could enhance the
energy vibrations of that area by focusing your intention on your relationship.
There are so many possible combinations and uses that it would be impossible to
list them all! We recommend a Qualified Feng Shui Consultant or some good
reference books to assist you in placing your crystal singing bowl in the most
auspicious locations for you.
The relationships between Sound, Color
and our Energy Field
The human
body may be seen as visible frequencies that produce an auric color field.
Sound and color have a very fundamental relationship, and both are related to
the health and harmony of the physical body.
Sound is an acoustical wave as opposed to color which is an electromagnetic
wave. Acoustical frequencies operate on the principle of compression and
expansion of molecules and require a medium of a gas, liquid or solid for
transmission. Electromagnetic frequencies are created by an oscillating
electrical charge and can travel easily through empty space. However,
even molecules of gasses, liquids and solids can't be compressed and expanded
without creating an electrical charge and both acoustic and electromagnetic
frequencies are measurable in what are known as Hertz (Hz) or vibrations per
second.
Let us look at the relationship between sound and color in the context of sound
healing. Taking a look at the first octave for the note C, we see it has a
frequency of 34.648 Hz (See diagram below). The same note C one octave higher,
would have a frequency of 69.296Hz, exactly twice the frequency of this note in
the first octave. The color which relates to the note C is red. The frequency of
the color red is approximately 428,570 GHz.or 428,570 billion Hz. Although I
haven't done the math on this one (I'll leave that up to rocket scientists),
428,570 billion should come close to being a multiple of 34.648. In other words,
the frequency of red is a higher harmonic of the note C. Therefore, color and
sound have a powerful relationship and can be used together to aid in bringing
balance and harmony to all parts of the emotional and physical body.
There are seven musical notes that correspond to the seven
colors of the rainbow and these are related to the seven main chakras, which in
turn correspond to different areas of the endocrine system. These relationships
are shown below:
RED - Musical Note C
1st Chakra - Sacrum - Survival

Crystal bowl
music is a form of vibrational medicine which validates that everything in the
universe is in a state of vibration and the frequency at which an object or
person most naturally vibrates is called resonance. The chakras, bones, and
organs in the body all possess a different resonant frequency. When an organ or
part of the body is vibrating out of tune or non-harmoniously, it is called
"dis-ease" or disease. A body is in a healthy state of being when each
cell, each organ creates a resonance that is in harmony with the whole being.
Vibrational
medicine is based on the idea that all illness or disease is characterized by a
blockage of the energy channels on some level. When there is a blockage, the
organ in question stops vibrating at a healthy frequency and thus it results in
some kind of illness. So through sound and light one can break up, dissolve and
release these blockages that initiate in our etheric body. With proper intent,
the pure tones that emanate from crystal bowls can be a powerful force in
bringing conscious awareness and vibrational rebalancing to areas of our bodies
that are "out of tune". When we lovingly and consciously attune our
awareness to those places in our bodies that are wanting to be noticed, and use
the power of sound to carry our loving intent, then we open the doorway for the
emotional body to heal. When the emotional body is well so is the physical body!
As we heal our selves we heal the world around us.
Cultural Uses of Sound
Many
cultures recognize the importance of music and sound as a healing power. In the
ancient civilizations of India, the Orient, Africa, Europe and among the
Aborigines and American Indians, the practice of using sound to heal and achieve
balance from within has existed for thousands of years. The Tibetans still use
bells, chimes, bowls, and chanting as the foundation of their spiritual
practice. In Bali, Indonesia, the echoing gamelang, gong, and drum are used in
ceremonies to uplift and send messages. The Australian Aborigines and Native
American shamans use vocal toning and repetitive sound vibration with
instruments created from nature in sacred ceremony to adjust any imbalance of
the spirit, emotions or physical being.
The
Priests of ancient Egypt knew how to use vowel sounds to resonate their energy
centers or chakras. There is a direct link between different parts of the body
and specific sounds. Healing through sound goes back even further-at least as
far back as Atlantis where the power of sound was combined with the power of the
crystal.
At the
present time the Hopi American Indian prophecy is being fulfilled with the
"Coming of the Rainbow People", through the keepers of the crystal
bowls. This ancient wisdom has emerged to heal and uplift the consciousness of
the universe through pure crystal tone. Prophet Edgar Cayce, predicted pure
tones will be used for healing before the end of this century".
