The Healing Bowls of Crystal

While in Sedona last year, I became fascinated with the sound of the Crystal Bowls. I ended up buying three bowls and came home very excited. My husband, Alfredo, and I started playing the Crystal Bowls every night and began to experience many changes in our bodies. In gratitude for some healing work we did on friends, using these bowls, we were gifted with two more of the bowls. About this same time, my check was lost for a seminar I was going to attend. I decided I would take this money and purchase the final two bowls in the Crystal bowl set. We then had all seven bowls, six in 14 inch diameter and the heart bowl in 16 inches (it is not easy to get all bowls in this size}. We continued playing the bowls every night and became more in tune with them. My husband started having visions about the Crystal Bowls and the identity of each bowl. We then began to do more research by investigating and learning from our own experience, while playing the bowls to a variety of individuals––pregnant women, couples, children and the elderly.

In 1988 a young man in Arizona named Abraham told the story of how for the past five years he had been spending time feeling and hearing the energy of crystals. He related back to the concept of the Tibetan Bowls played in Monasteries with Brass Temple Bowls. He explored the possibility of making such bowls with pure quartz crystal and during his research, he discovery a technique he could employ.

A supplier of the bowls gives the following description of the process in making the bowls:

"The substance used for the bowls is a kind of sand found in several places in the world, called "silica sand", that is pure quartz in nature. It is very pure, the same sand that is used in making fibre optic glass. (Fibre optic glass must be pure to two parts per billion or else it interrupts the electrical signal, which is actually a light signal). The sand is dropped in to 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 several thousand degrees centigrade. It integrates the individual particles of sand." The result is an integrated structure of the purest resonance, capable of sending out audible sound tested up to a third of a mile from the source.

The human body is composed of (in part) millions and millions of crystals. The bones are made of a combination of collagen, which is protein in the form of a double helix intertwined around itself that forms the framework for a type of calcium phosphate crystal called "apatite" crystals. This concept is brought out very thoroughly and explored deeply by Robert O. Backer in his book, The Body Electric. Apatite crystals exist throughout the body, the skull, and teeth. As with all crystals, they have a certain resonation potential. Playing the Crystal Bowls bring about a resonation, a harmonization, and an integration process that goes between the internal and external vibration. The resonance vibrates the body cavities affecting the crystalline structure of our bones. The vibration also has a great effect of the spine diffusing along the nerve pathways to the organs, tissues, cells, blood circulation, metabolism, endocrine system. It cleanses the auric field and balances the hemispheres of the brain. It creates alignment in our Higher Self.

The Crystal Bowls are very powerful and sacred. Each bowl has its own note, its own color and corresponds to each Chakra. When the bowls are played they vibrate to the pitch of the body's own pitch. When an individual connects with his/her own pitch and that of the crystal bowls, a feeling of harmony and balance is encountered. Some individuals have reported to "having the best sleep of their night after hearing the bowls played." Aside from having an inter-connection, there is also an exterior connection. The sound vibrates and ripples through your home, surroundings, the environment, the receiver and the giver, Mother Earth and on out into the Universe. Even though we do not continue hearing the sound with our ear, the sound continues vibrating through the cosmos for eternity.

It is our belief that the Crystal Bowls play an important part in helping the souls coming in at this time of the earth's transition. Since the earth's vibration is now changing and is altering our own vibration, the sounding of the Crystal Bowls to unborn children will help to attune their soul to the earth's vibration. It will allow these unborn children to come in with the memory of the origin of their source and their purpose in life while on this planet. As we play the bowls to people for healing, we are certain that this musical vibration is not only helping those individuals who are being touched by the Crystal Bowls, but also the musical resonance from the sound and the vibration of the bowls are healing the soul of Mother Earth.
