Crystal bowls emerged from the concept of the Tibetan Brass Temple Bowl. They are highly effective tools, capable of inducing a profound, beneficial altered state of consciousness.

There are several energy vortexes or Charkas in our body, but seven major chakras that are responsible for the movement of positive/negative energy into and between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. The bowls act as a bridge that stimulates the cellular memory and allows for the body to relax and enjoy the healing process.

Each bowl is a different size played with a wooden mallet covered in suede. Because of the individual size of the bowls they will create a high tone or a low tone that will correlate to a chakra. I use these bowls in meditations, chakra attunements and energy work. I have created a chakra meditation that allows the body to relax and receive the vibration and tone therapy it needs for healing.

My Personal Healing Experience Through Crystal Bowls

In 1995 I was diagnosed with Graves Disease, a hyperthyroid and not a pretty disease. The only option I had from the medical staff was to destroy my thyroid and put me on medication the rest of my life, however, that was not an option. I chose the method of self-healing because I believe our bodies are meant to heal themselves.

The throat chakra is one of the seven major chakras and it is the “truth” area. I have met a lot of women who seem to experience this problem of their thyroid, either hyper or hypo. I needed to question myself and figure out why my throat was sending me this message. This took work and self-exploration, not where I wanted to be at the time and it took some time.

I literally changed my life style to heal myself. I understand that a lot of people cannot just quit their former life and what they are doing. But I believe that if a person truly wants help and a positive change, they will seek the path that will help them grow. I changed my entire life style, my job, my schooling, and my eating habits. I then went back to my meditations and worked with the throat chakra bowl as the primary bowl, but used all seven bowls in my meditations to create a balance. After six months my Graves Disease was gone and my doctor was questioning me on how I did it.
