Crystal Singing Bowl C

The Crystal Singing Bowl tunes to C. In addition, it comes with mallet and rubber stability ring.

These beautifully crafted crystal singing bowls play with wonderful, powerful, sounds. They are pure powdered quartz crystals which are heated to several thousand degrees. This integrates the individual particles of the quartz powder and a bowl forms. They then individually tune them to a specific musical note.

The size of the bowl affects the pitch.  A small bowl produces a much higher pitched note than the note produced by a large bowl. In general higher pitches have an uplifting, cleansing effect whilst lower pitches tend to be more relaxing and grounding. We all respond differently to particular sounds, and so the effect on individuals of the same bowl can be quite different.

Sound two or more crystal bowls together and the sound waves weave and mingle with each other to form beautiful flowing harmonics. That is provided they are harmoniously tuned together. These harmonics surround us and the vibrations will have different effects on different people depending what is happening in their lives. In therapy, the healing tones of the quartz crystal bowls are mainly used to help re-balance and harmonise.

It is best for you and anyone in the proximity of the bowl if you don’t play it for longer than 15 – 20 minutes at a stretch.  Take a break of at least 15 minutes so as to not overloaded the body with energy. Players often forget that they are also receiving an energy treatment! Always have the highest intention in your mind at the outset of playing as the bowl becomes an extension of you while you are playing it.

You will probably get the best results if you take some time to prepare yourself before sounding a crystal bowl. A simple breathing exercise can help.  You may wish to visualize the colour that corresponds to the bowl or surround yourself with pure white light.

Beaten Singing Bowls

Beaten or hand hammered singing bowls are made using a hand hammering process. This requires several processes to shape it into a perfect hand hammered singing bowl.

The manufacturers make each singing bowl with seven metals, copper, tin, zinc, iron, lead, gold and silver. They melt the metals in a furnace. The molten metal is then poured into die to prepare a metal mould for the various sizes and weights. Then, they cut the round metal moulds into round metal discs in the required size and thickness. Finally, they hand beat or hammer the discs and categorise them for weight and size.

They pile up several discs, one upon the other, and then heat them so they are red hot. The red hot metal sheets are hammered by a group of expert artisans, as long as the heat remains in the metal. They then reheat the metal to continue the beating process. Eventually they achieve the desired shape and size. However, this repetitive process is why the hammered or beaten singing bowls will all be different from each other in size and diameter.

They can only work on the metal when it is red hot. When the metal cools, it will loose its softness and flexibility, which in turn would make the metal brittle. If worked upon when the metal is too cool the bowl will crack and break.
