Crystal Bowl Healing

Classic Frosted Bowls: The deep, full sounds work gently with the physical and etheric bodies. Available in all notes and chakra-tuned sets.The Egyptian Blue Bowl: inspired by an Egyptian Faience bowl (1300 bc Thebes)The Aqua 24-K Gold Bowl: An innovative design channeled by William Jones and Paul Utz that combines the essence of metal with quartz crystal.The Tuning Fork Practitioner Bowl: The Tuning Fork bowl’s high frequencies and fused quartz handle allow for total freedom of movement and for working above the crown to transmute chaotic or blocked energies. This bowl is lightweight, easily portable, wand-like and can sustain its sound with the slightest chiming.

an anCient Sound Healing tradition
For thousands of years, hand-held crystal singing bowls have been played by healers and musicians to alleviate pain and restore physical, emotional and spiritual balance. Larger stationary crystal bowls were also used in ancient temples, homes and gathering places. An Egyptian Faience crystal bowl (circa 1300 bc Thebes) is on display at the Myers Museum of Eton College, UK. It’s the inspiration for Crystal Tones’ Egyptian Blue Bowl.
How to deepen your experienCe of CryStal Bowl Healing
Set aside some time to create sacred space for your session. Speak or silently state your intention. Release your intention or prayer on the sound currents of the bowl. Allow the sounds of this recording to become the total focus of your intention as you listen.
play your Bowl along witH tHiS CdGently hit or “chime” the outside of your bowl with a suede or rubber
mallet and begin a “sonic sounding” around the upper rim. This creates subtle or more intense sounds according to the applied pressure. A combination of bowls can be even more effective for deep physical relaxation and releasing emotional blockages.
You may also do “toning” with your voice using vowel sounds while playing the bowl or while listening to this CD.
aBout tHe MuSiC
There are subtle melodies that result from constantly shifting phase relationships and overtones as the bowls continue to sing. One of the most amazing things that I experienced in recording this album is that the bowls seems to change a bit each time you listen. This is especially fascinating with headphones, when the tones seem to move through your head.
In a group setting, you’ll notice that the tones balance, harmonize and attune the bio-electromagnetic fields of everyone in the room. Typically, your brainwaves will also entrain to a deep alpha frequency around 8 cycles per second (8 Hz).
Listen deeply with attention and intention. Allow your mind to focus on the furthest away sound…and into the silence beyond the tones.
The featured bowls on each track are designated in the titles. Visit CrystalTones.com for complete sound samples of all their bowls.
BeHind tHe MuSiC
I had the great honor and privilege of recording inside the Great Pyramid in 1981. About 20 years later, as I recorded my Egyptian Blue bowl, I was amazed to find it was in the same key as my chanting.
Coincidence? You be the judge. I felt my third eye and crown chakra resonating immediately. I knew I had to begin the album with this ancient/modern soundscape. Experience the full power of the King’s Chamber on my album, Initiation: Inside the Great Pyramid.
On “Tibetan/Egyptian Connection”, I combine the golden 11th century Tibetan singing bowl with the crystal bowl. Hear more of this ancient bowl at www.StevenHalpern.com/SingingBowls
In the ten years since I recorded this CD, technology has improved dramatically. As I remastered these arrangements to give you the best possible sound quality, the bowls again ‘spoke’ to me. I was inspired to compose new music. These bonus tracks have ‘2012’ in the title.
Namaste, Steven Halpern
