Cyrstal singing bowls?
    #21179466 - 01/26/15 02:28 PM (9 years, 3 months ago)

Anyone have experience with crystal bowls? You have to kind of be a hardcore yogi or shaman with them, play them a long time until a breakthrough happens. I have a third eye, crown, and root chakra crystal bowl but don't play them much.

I got a regular tibetan bowl for a birthday present once and i played it, after a while i felt happy and my second chakra felt active.

I've been considering getting a small amethyst bowl on credit and paying it off gradually, they are quite costly but i love amethyst, it helps with the third eye and has given me a visual etheric field when meditate with an amethyst geode in my lap before!

I have two handmade Tibetan bowls, well I forgot them in Amsterdam for now, but I'm sure they'll find a way to return, or I to them :biggrin:

I kept them around without playing them for a long time, but then I started using them and they work quite well. My current understanding is that what they do is provide a complex sound that helps the brain relax, form cohesive brainwaves from.

YOu can do this with any sort of fractalic sound (that has repetition and variation), like wind against trees, insect and bird sounds, generally being outdoors. A fridge or computer fan won't really do that well for you, as it's more of a constant whrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, so either cyclical repetition or variation is lacking, or both. The bowl's sound is not constant, there's a fluctuation there, a tremolo, and also every strike is different in pitch, depending on where you hit it, closer to the base or the rim.

As with any calming/meditative practice, you'll get A LOT more out of it if you form some ritual. Even a short one. Simplest I can think of is turn off electric lights, ligth a couple of candles and/or incense and then spend some time playing and exploring with the bowls. Do this for a week and you'll be hooked. 10-15 mins per session should be plenty, and in fact even 2-3 minutes will slow you down and balance you out.

Another great use for these is to use as a gong or meditation bell, to get back to THIS present moment. Simply put the bowl and hammer on a place like close to your house door, and as soon as you come home, it should be in front of you to strike it, and announce to yourself, I am here, right now. I am home, here. Wherever I was is there, and now I'm home. Now. Bzooooing :biggrin:

The bowls were invented by masters of consciousness, I imagine they are more effective than many other types of sound, and the bowls resonate astrologically due to their combination of metals, as well as that they are designed for various chakras.

I hope you get your bowls back! Our body is made up of quartz and you resonate your cells to feel crystal like when you play a quartz bowl!

I've been wanting a singing bowl for a while now. I've played one years ago, there's a certain trick to it to make it sound right but once you get it, it is so relaxing and meditative. I'm broke atm though so I can't quite get one soon sadly. Singing bowls would be a great practice during entheogenic journies.

My third eye is a little too open it seems. I got this one astral dude who keeps running up to it and blocking me from seeing into my dimensions. I can get him out of the way, but he keeps running up to it no matter what I do sometimes.

He's an annoying bugger :thumbdown:

Well I think you might be missing the bigger picture here.

A forest that you live in, that's on 24/7. Insects and birds, if you live in say, a jungle, are a given, again ALWAYS on. The bowls are active when you take time to use them and completely inactive otherwise. If you think of it, especially to a less disciplined person, even some good quality wind chimes might still the mind better, because they sound with the wind, whereas the bowls might be silent for weeks and months.

I an quite partial to this sort of "passive", always on type of influence, as I've seen it both by spending weeks in nature, and also I've noticed a similar calming effect at psytrance festivals, where the music, the beat of the bass, is always on, day in and day out for the whole duration. Even when you sleep, the faint sound of thump thump thump of the bass of the main stage, that's always on, helping your brain rebalance its rhythms.

Drums probably work in the same way too. If you think of it, all these tools, rattles, bells, gongs, chimes, they all work on the electrics of the brain, by providing clean, harmonious sound, that is then transformed into clean, harmonious electric brainwaves. In this day and age, where everything seems to be short attention span type noise, we absolutely can benefit from these clean audio breaks, and visual as well. Parks, gardens, they all help with this balancing, harmonizing, letting the spam go.

I see what you mean. I heard crickets on LSD once and it was amazing!

Haha, I put a certain binaural beats audio while on LSD, and went to the insectoid city. We all gathered there in the millions, my insect siblings and I, in this square or plateau type place, under the hexagon crystal structures that made this sound from above us, and we stayed there (as we did every day) for resonant tuning and sound balancing.

We all listened to these amazing crystal sounds and songs together, vibrated together, so that the group cohesion between us would be strong and harmonious, and then we could go and do our drone tasks in joy and harmony, with deep love and care for the hive and Queen. Oh it was soo insectly beautiful, so pretty :heart::heart::heart:

It was a highly complex pattern of overlapping frequencies, not one single sine wave of some frequency or another. I believe it was aiming at the Alpha state or slightly below, but the music man, the sheer fantastic crystal aspects of it, why even as I describe it now I am flooded with good vibes from my ant sisters from the insect city.

And it wasn't simple Earth insects either, I believe it was either far in the future or some completely different dimension, we were large (taller than humans, 6 legs) and our cities were immense, harmonious and highly technological.

If ever I find the song again (should be on my HDD somewhere still) I'll post the name here, so we can all go for some good ol' insect crystal harmonizing in the hive :lol:
