the past couple of days i've stumbled across several references to crystal singing bowls - i had never even heard of them before the weekend!

has anyone come across them or had experiences of using them? feels like i'm being prompted to find out about them

one of the things that caught my eye was using them to energise water

hey lorna,

when i was visiting my parents last we watched an antiques road show that showed a collection of singing bowls. many were tibetan. these weren't crystal though i don't think. i was immediately intrigued and googled them the next day. it seems like there are many different kinds and they sing and sound amazing when a mallet of sorts is used on it. kind of like how i used to wet my finger and rub it around the rim of my parent's wine glasses as a child to make a neat noise.

on the website it said that a lot of people use them as a meditation aid.

i haven't rushed out and bought one yet. the idea of energizing water does sound like a good idea.

i too would be interested if anyone has experience using them for anything. they come in several different sizes.

interesting topic.

thanks lorna,

the bowls now out on the market have 7 tone resonance scale that they are keyed to. striking the bowls sets up wave field that is easily picked up by our own dna antenna ,as do water molecules. tibetan bells function in the same way , with some putting out a white light frequency. by putting oneself into a meditative receptive state and holding up your hands after striking the bowls, your mind with easily intuit what the dna picks up inside your cells. alot of experimention was done in the founderies centuries ago in tibet, to come up with the right metallurgic combinations to generate the field that takes the brain into deeper states of consciousness. i personally moved into astral travel by resonating the bowl over top of the crown chakra. the proof is in the putting, so by all means experiment and discover for yourself what happens.

sometimes these bowls are referred to as chakra bowls also because the different sizes of the bowls resonate with the various chakra centers. about 12 years ago, while in a metaphysical shop, they had some on display in the back of the store. i was up near the front and someone starting playing them. i felt an immediate pressure and tightening of my throat. i went back to inquire which bowl they were playing and sure enough, it was the throat chakra bowl. since they're vibrational, i can imagine that they would have a positive effect on water as well.

i have a collection of 11 quartz crystal bowls and 7 in metal alloy. the difference is the source of the technology. one is new the other is ancient. in tibet, the munks would use these as a way to induce a relaxed "altered state of meditation". the idea is to introduce "beat frequencies" that harmonize the mind. these frequencies are generally under the level of hearing range. the way to get around that is to introduce two different signals where the difference is the frequency that is desired - one signal at 300 hz pluss one at 307 hz will produce a "wow wow" effect that the mind can detect. its just like two jet engines that are a little out of synk.

the crystal bowls have an amazing resonance that is very pure and they are very good for singing overtones to. i use them to make meditation cds.

these bell tones do affect the chakra systems although i am not sure of the science behind what does what. i do know that i have experienced a kundalini awakening with bell sounds of the right frequency. i have had feedback that several people listening to my meditation cds have experienced the same. the kundalini is what happens when the energy from all the chakras are connected together in synk. i experienced it as a natural vibration throughout the body where my back was a blue rod and a red ball of energy went up and down for over 5 minutes. it was exhausting - an orgasm - but at the same time it gave me energy like i have never felt before - i was up for 3 days without the need to sleep.

crystal bowls are marketed as white frosted and coated with different metals. i would suggest the white frosted ones since they cost less and are very clean and clear. mine are not in a clear and cut a - g note range since they are purchased at different alternative conventions here in norway. a set is very expensive. if you can find one used - get them without thinking twice.

ben franklin invented a musical instrument that nested several glass bowls on edge.
it's called a armonica.

thanks metamike for your post. i found that crystaline bowls effective are able to clear energetic blockages throughout the auric field and bring about a temporary balancing of the pranic circulation field. however, unless the underlying causes of crystalized energy patterns are brought into conscious awareness, understood and cleared for integration the blocks will reassert themselves again. uncompleted issues are closer in to the physical/etheric with completed patterns further out vibrating in harmonic resonance with soul purpose. completed patterns support the resolution of patterns yet to be transformed into soul wisdom. kundalini movement seems happen when entire quanta of issues reach a state of completion. this is often referred to as becoming a soul infused personality.

thank you for your replies - ooo i'm excited about finding out more and trying one out now!
