Jen, one of a few so far who contributes in valuable ways to this site, recently emailed me these few words:
We never have enough information to enable us to fully understand the truth of the reality around us. And there is never only one correct perspective about anything.
Knowing this helps me let go of my tendency to label things as good or bad. I suffer least when I can accept reality just as it is. And I benefit most when I open my heart and mind in appreciation.
One of the many things she has recently introduced me to in the course of attending her yoga lessons, has been Quartz / Crystal Blessing Bowls, and in regards to same I must admit for me “to fully understand the truth of the reality around us”, rings true!

I have included an overview of the Crystal Bowls vibrational ability…. however in no way am I able to translate the amazing sounds that are heard… or the clearings that can occur.!!
Excerpt Taken from The Musician’s Walk: An Ethical Labyrinth by James Jorden and Eric Kephart
The sound of the crystal bowls are thought to balance the chakras in two ways: At the same time as the disharmonious conditions are being adjusted or removed a sacred space is created strengthening a person’s higher self connection or “Divine Blueprint.” When an unbalanced energetic condition is removed it is always wise to fill the void with the highest aspect of source the person is willing to embrace. The sound waves from the crystal bowls emit a pure holographic template of radiant sound that builds a Jacob’s Ladder to the divine.
The pure tones of the crystal bowls produce a vibrational sound field that resonates the light body energy centers (chakras) and corresponding physical areas.
Yoga Mat reminder of our energy systems
There are 7 musical notes that correspond to the 7 colours of the rainbow and these are relate to the 7 main chakras which in turn correspond to the areas of the endocrine gland system.
A series of pure crystal tone sessions facilitates the rebalancing of each receiver back into the elevated level of etheric radiance. The effects are enhanced because the bowls are made of quartz.
My first experience of these bowls being played was profound: the audio tones are haunting and sometime piercing the way they wander around my head seemingly physically! Indeed they do vibrate – we filled a larger one with water one evening and watched the ripples form and actually cancel each other out, leaving what!?
And you will have guessed the different size bowls each give a different frequency of sound wave, and once one is “ringing” [by circling the edge as per the image above], it continues it’s vibration for much longer when the other bowls are played. Obviously the resonance of one is picked up by the others.
Maybe I don’t need to know the science, but I do know these bowls come alive when played, and they have influences on us – probably it varies from person to person!
