Choosing Your Bowl

​

You are welcome to get in touch for custom crystal singing bowl combinations, I am happy to make a singing bowls video following your note / colour requirements for your consideration with no obligation.  I also have many videos on my Instagram of sound healing instruments https://www.instagram.com/aurasoundsuk/ or please let me know if there's anything you would like to hear and I'm happy to send you a link or a WhatsApp video.  

 

All bowls resonate a specific note A-G, said to correspond to energy centres or chakras in the body.  To help make a decision about which bowl is right for you at this time, here is a list detailing which chakra each note correlates, and the energy blockages or imbalances that can be found for healing.  

​

C - root chakra - fear and childhood trauma

D- sacral chakra - interpreting emotions

E - solar plexus chakra - personal power and creativity

F - heart chakra - love centre, give & receive, gatekeeper to higher chakras

G - throat chakra - communication, outward and inward with ourselves

A - 3rd eye chakra - psychic and intuitive abilities

B - crown chakra - imagination and higher self

To Play The Crystal Singing Bowls

 

Before you play the bowls, relax, breathe gently and centre yourself.  Ensure that the space is set up safely so that you have plenty of room around you to play.  Take any jewellery off that may unexpectedly strike the bowl (such as a long hanging pendant).  

​

Always place the bowls on a stable surface, pick your bowl up with two hands under the base and place down slowly and gently on the rubber O-ring provided.  Ensure the bowl is centred on the ring and not sitting on a tilt.

​

We recommend that you keep your eyes open when practicing so you can see what you are doing and also be in a receptive state of listening to the sound of the bowl.

 

Some people choose to hold their bowl in the palm of their hand as they play it.  If you choose to do this, always remove any jewellery on your hands (rings, bracelets...etc) as they can vibrate against the body of the bowl, potentially causing damage.

Hold the suede mallet provided as you would a pen and apply an even pressure as you move it slowly around the outside rim of the bowl.  

​

If you have purchased silicon covered mallet, always hold the crystal end and use the silicon end to sweep around the rim of the bowl.  Only tap the bowl with the suede mallet.  Never tap the bowl with a silicon mallet as they are too hard and may break the bowl.

​

When tapping the bowl, you can do so about a third of the way down (the sweet spot). The ‘tap’ should be a light and gentle action, not a forceful strike. Remember that although the bowls can withstand incredible temperatures in the creation process, the body of the bowl is fragile and if you strike it too hard, the impact can break the bowl.

​

After you release the mallet, the bowl will continue to sing for any length of time, depending on the nature of the bowl.  Let your bowl sound out until it stops resonating and receive its song.

​

As you increase your familiarity with playing your bowl, you will naturally develop your own style.  Always approach your bowl with a loving grace.  The bowls are teaching us how to be mindful, how to listen, how to respond and how to be gentle in our movements with everything around us.

Please Be Mindful

 

The more pressure you apply and the faster that you play, the louder the sound will be. The intense vibrations created by playing the bowls too loudly or vigorously could cause a breakage.  We do not warranty the product against such breakage or accept any liability resulting from bowl shatter.  Please do not allow objects to drop into the bowls as this may also damage them.

 

If you hear the bowl begin to buzz, take the mallet off the bowl immediately. This can also be a sign that you are playing the bowl too loudly. Some bowls require a very little motion and all bowls require a very gentle touch. With many bowls, you may only need to ever rotate the mallet half the circumference of the bowl to then release and let it sing.

​

Cleaning The Bowls

 

We recommend using a cotton cloth and if necessary some water to remove dust and marks.  If need be, you can also use a very mild soap.  Please ensure your hands are clean when moving the bowl, and that any packaging or surfaces are also clean and clear.

​

Some Precautions

​

No medical claims are made about the use of crystal singing bowls to replace the need for medical advice.  If you experience any health problems you should always consult your regular physician or healthcare practitioner.

 

Do not place a persons head inside or too near a crystal bowl while you are playing it.  A safe distance is about 12” away.

These high quality crystal bowls formed of pure, clear quartz crystal, blended precious metals. In the formation of this product, the firing process can leave some inclusions, such as lines and bubbles. This is the nature of the bowl, and they do not affect the performance of the bowl.
