Clean, Cleanse and Charge!

When you play your crystal singing bowl for whatever reason, you want it to be “crystal clear” to give you the “crystal clear” sound and results you are looking for.

How can a bit of dirt or dust effect the sound vibrations?

Everything in the universe is in a state of vibration.  Sound is the vibrations we can actually hear (between 20Hz – 20 000Hz).  Everything we can’t hear ( a stone, a flower or a speck of dust) is still vibrating but out of our hearing range.  Think about when you walk into an old, desserted house full of spider webs and dust…imagine the vibrations coming out of there…”bad vibes”…then compare this to a house full of things that a person cares for, has personally chosen with love, appreciates and is clean and light!  ”Good vibes”.  You can’t hear the difference yet you can definately percieve it with your whole being.  This isn’t rocket science, it’s about being human.  Everyone can tell the difference between good and bad vibes!

Back to the dirty crystal bowl.  So, do you want “dust vibes” emanating from your bowl to your body, your house, your family?  Remember that when you play the bowl you amplify those vibrations creating more “dusty vibes”.  NO THANKS!  When you receive your bowl it would have been handled by people (more vibrations) and packaging material, so it is a good idea to give it a good clean, cleanse and charge before using it for healing, manifesting and labouring!

CLEANING

Pour distilled water (or filtered) in a bowl with some biodegradable, mild dish washing liquid.  Use a soft toothbrush or soft brush and scrub the granular surface on the outside.  A soft cloth is fine for the smooth surface on the inside.

Rinse the bowl thoroughly and carefully with the water.

Dry with a hair dryer or gently place outside in the sun to dry.

CLEANSE

Any crystalline structures (including our bodies) can absorb and release energy.  It is important therefore to cleanse the bowl of any negative energy it may have absorbed along the way so that you don’t absorb it when it is played.  Ted Andrews writes about this in “Crystal Balls, Crystal Bowls”.

You can do this by placing it in a bath full of sea-salt which draws out any negative energy.  You could go in the bath with it if there is enough room!

Frankincense insense vibrates at a high frequency (remember…EVERYTHING VIBRATES – this is NOT a hippy thing…it is science!) so will clear any lower frequencies that are lurking!  Just burn it around the bowl for a while.

CHARGING

Place the bowl outside under a full moon – beautifull!  Or place it in the sun for a few days.  This will re-energise your bowl which in turn re-energises you when played!

I would recommend doing the cleaning, cleansing and charging when you first receive the bowl.  This will also help you to feel a connection with it.  Then do this  again before the birth.  After this once every few months would be sufficient!

ENJOY!
