As I said before, I have incorporated Quartz Crystal Bowls into my Reiki practice.
So what’s with those crystal bowls?
Well, each of the bowls is made up of 99.992% silicon quartz.
The pure tones the bowls emit vibrate the body. The reason they vibrate the body is because our bodies have a natural affinity to quartz. You see, the human body is composed of many crystalline substances – the bones, blood, muscle and DNA are crystalline in structure – this includes the liquid crystal colloidal structure of the brain. Every single cell in the body contains silica at a molecular level. The silica balances our electro-magnetic energy and it has the same formula as natural quartz crystal. That’s why quartz crystal bowls are used for sound therapy treatments – they resonate to your body almost perfectly.
Each bowl is tuned to resonate to a note on the diatonic scale (the musical scale, a-g). Each of the 7 main chakras also corresponds to a note on the diatonic scale as well as to a different area and system of the body: endocrine system, lymph system, skeletal, circulatory and muscular systems, etc. Knowing that, the sound therapist plays the bowl that corresponds to the specific area of the body that is diseased or out of harmony or balance.
The frosted bowls are always played on the floor and they are like the white keys or flat notes on a piano key board. The clear crystal bowls are much lighter in weight and have a crisper tone than the frosted bowls, they are like the black keys or the sharp notes on a piano keyboard. The clear bowls are played either on the clients’ solar plexus or in the palm of the practitioners’ hand. It’s best to play them on the client but sometimes that’s not possible and they must be played in the hand of the practitioner just above the clients solar plexus.
Some therapists use the brass or Tibetan bowls in their practice. Now brass is composed of zinc and copper. Yellow brass, the more readily available Tibetan bowls, is 90% zinc and 10% copper. Red brass is 70% zinc and 30% copper. We don’t have brass in our bodies per se. We do have copper and zinc, but only as trace minerals. You don’t find these minerals at a molecular level in every single cell in your body therefore the brass bowls do not resonate as well to the body.
When I chose which bowls I would incorporate into my Reiki practice, I opted for the crystal because, hey, it’s only .008% or 8/1000’s off of perfect resonation to our bodies. Will the Tibetan bowls work? Absolutely, they will, over time. I wanted my clients to realize the benefits sooner rather than later which is also why I chose the quartz bowls.
These bowls are powerful healing instruments and they are used specifically for healing purposes. I’ll explain just exactly how they work in the next blog.
