Awaken the Biofield
An Invitation to Practice
To make each moment with your singing bowl a special one, become fully present during the moment of silence. Recognize how the body, mind, and presence of consciousness are also silent.
We often wish for a moment of peace and quiet, yet that stillness is always present beneath our thoughts, emotions, and the activity of the day.

The bowl asks nothing of you except attention.

Shape the arc
For the body of the sound bath, keep sound continuous but unhurried.
With a set, begin at the lowest singing bowl and layer upward, root to crown, letting notes overlap. Then, back down again. Leave breathing room between phrases.

Care and Keeping
The delicate material is not a flaw. Thin, resonant crystalline walls are the reason the tone is so pure.
Experienced practitioners come to see careful handling as part of the practice itself, one more way the instrument teaches stillness.

How to Play
Playing a crystal singing bowl involves two basic skills. You strike the bowl to release its pure tone, and you circle the rim to make it sing continuously.
Both can be learned in an afternoon. Both deepen for years.
