How to play Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls
Place the bowl symmetrically on its rubber ring. This helps to keep the bowl steady without dampening the vibration. Run the suede or ball stick around the outside (not inside) of the rim gently, evenly and with a firm pressure and the bowl will start to resonate. If you are producing jarring or rough tones you are moving the stick too quickly or using incorrect pressure against the rim. Excessive force or speed will produce unpleasant sounds and could damage a bowl even to the point of shattering. Never play a bowl so fast that the outer rim becomes blurred. On rare occasions and not always for any apparent reason quartz bowls have been known to shatter while they are being played. All quartz bowls are susceptible to this.
Because of this it is wise to insure the bowl on a household insurance. Unfortunately we cannot take responsibility for this should it happen to you after you have bought one of our bowls. As mentioned before, this is a rare happening and has fortunately never happened to us although we have often done some of the things we are now warning against! However there are steps that you can take to minimise the risk of it happening to you.
- Never play the bowl with excessive force
- Do not hit the bowl with the stick. Tap lightly if you need to.
- Carry it with your arms around it to protect it from walls and furniture.
- Keep your bowls a foot apart from each other when playing.
- Do not play a very large bowl in a very tiny room.
- Play on the outside of the rim and not on the inside. Playing on the inside appears to increase the stress placed on the bowl.
- Because shattering is a possibility never place your head in the bowl when it is resonating or place the bowl on top of someone when playing.
Playing the bowl in an anti-clockwise fashion brings in the feminine energy. It is best for you and anyone in the proximity of the bowl if you don't play it for longer than 15 - 20 minutes at a stretch. A 15 minute break is recommended - this is to ensure that the energy field is not overloaded with energy and everyone has a chance to assimilate the changes. The player often forgets that they are also receiving an energy treatment! Always have the highest intention in your mind at the outset of playing as the bowl becomes an extension of you while you play it.

Choosing a Crystal Bowl
There are three sorts of crystal bowl - clear, practitioner and frosted. Clear bowls are in small sizes (5 to 8 inches in diameter) and completely transparent. They produce a clear, pure note and the smaller ones are quite high pitched. Some clear bowls are capable of producing more than one note according to how low or high up the side they are played. The playing stick is a small hard rubber ball on a handle. Practitioner bowls are clear bowls with a handle fitted to them. They are designed to be hand held rather than placed on a surface to be played.
Frosted bowls are larger and heavier and range from 8 to 24 inches in diameter. The larger the bowl the lower the pitch tends to be and the greater the resonance. The largest bowls play very low notes indeed and ring on for over a minute after you stop playing them. There are two types of stick - suede covered wood and a rubber ball stick. We supply the one that works best on any bowl. Suede sticks are generally only needed for 8 or 10 inch bowls. Rubber ball sticks work on most 10 inch or larger bowls and are preferable as they make virtually no noise as they rub round the outside of the bowls.
Large bowls (16 inches or greater) can be quite heavy and cumbersome to transport which is a consideration if you want a bowl to be portable.
There are schools of thought which ascribe properties to various musical notes or diameters. In our experience energetically all bowls seem to be effective regardless of size or note.
Ultimately your choice is a matter of personal preference regarding high or low pitch and length of resonance. We can play crystal bowls over the phone to you - this is not ideal but it does give a good indication of pitch and resonance.

Making Structured Water
Clean the bowl carefully with a damp cloth and then dry. Put approximately 2 litres of distilled water into the bowl (you can leave it in a glass (not a plastic) bottle and place the bottle in the bowl) and then play the bowl for a few minutes. The structure of the water will have changed and will energise you when you drink it. The water should be kept in a glass container.
