CRYSTAL SINGING BOWLS

Over a year ago I started working with crystal singing bowls in addition to all the other modalities because they increase the effectiveness of everything else whether doing body work, energy work or hypnosis. They can also be used alone as a modality. It's another form of Vibrational Therapy. I also find that using AromaColorTherapy in addition to the bowls is fun and helpful because it works on the visual as well as olfactory while the bowls work at the auditory level and combined with hands on work, it makes a complete package.

The use of the bowls, especially the practitioner bowls, can cleanse a room efficiently before or after work, and it cleanses the aura quickly. I also use one of the AuraSoma Archangel Air Conditioners to make a room ready or clean up what has been released during a session. The combination of sound and scent is killer for cleansing and preparing a room for any kind of healing work. It's a whole lot easier than trying to smudge with incense or sage especially in an office building where the burning of candles and incense are not allowed. Aura cleansing is done when there is some negative energy that is held in the aura, our outer protective energy field. Sometimes it is caught there and hasn't gone all the way into the physical body to manifest as a physical ailment yet. Sometimes there is old energy that is being released and hasn't made it all the way out and gets caught in the energy field, or aura. Most clients actually feel it as it's being done and notice how light they feel afterwards, as though a great deal of weight has been lifted off of them. This can also be a visual or actual weight loss.

Color added to the work also helps because it's a visual delight. The use of colored silk on the body feels good, is visually pleasing and works synergistically with anything else that is being done, especially when used with crystal singing bowls. I like to use silk sheets that are dyed in all the colors in the energy field and chakras. Placed over the body, they keep the client at a comfortable temperature without any added weight, especially good for claustrophobic clients since the lack of weight keeps them from feeling confined or smothered. These sheets are also good when doing a meditation, hypnosis or just as a light cover when napping.

Crystal singing bowls work well with the human voice, much better than the brass or Tibetan bowls. The crystal is sharper and clearer and come in a variety of tones and sizes. Each type of crystal gives a different effect. There are the larger, heavier frosted bowls which are good for grounding and the lower chakras. The clear small bowls are sharper and brighter and great for the higher chakras. The specialty bowls such as the Aqua Gold, Moldavite, Rose Quartz have extra properties in addition to the note they are tuned to. Practitioner's bowls have a quartz crystal rod attached to the bottom, are more bell shaped and are held by the rod to play them. They are great for clearing a room or for aura cleansing or for concentrating directly over an area of the body. They are more laser like in their sound wave patterns. Sharp notes work a bit more on the meridians while flats or naturals work on the chakras. Whatever types of bowls one chooses to work with depends on personal taste, budget and type of work to be done.

To complete a session, quite often I use Aura Soma equilibrium bottles to help refill and re-energize the charkas after cleaning them out. I either place the appropriate bottle from the Chakra set over or under the Chakra or I shine light through the bottle into the Chakra to enliven them. Many clients have remarked that they could actually feel this being done even though they couldn't see it (because I was working with them face down).
