Playing crystal singing bowls and using them in sound baths is rapidly gaining popularity in professional music making and personal healing. This suggests that, when played correctly, they have the magical ability to immediately relax us and bring about a sense of peace and well-being.
In addition, as a species, our collective consciousness is changing. We are clearing as a whole, and the quartz crystal singing bowl brings us together and helps each of us become more loving, forgiving, attentive and kind.
In fact, the circle reminds us of our karmic path, that try as we may, we cannot be separate from our actions. It is also reminiscent of the moon and lunar cycles. Singing bowls remind us of both our inner selves and our outer selves, like the full moon or the new moon. The bowl too has its unique way of expressing itself as we do either through sound or silence. Either in stillness or in action, the creative potential is always consistently available.
which direction should I play my singing bowl
Is it better to play a crystal singing bowl clockwise or counterclockwise? When we are playing the bowl, we are in a way stirring. One of the universal laws is that energy begets energy. Who has not had a soup that just tasted better because love and attention were stirred in?
There are esoteric beliefs that indicate playing the bowl in a clockwise motion is creating more energy or invoking the divine masculine as it spirals outward in its creative force. You may consider a clockwise motion is drawing from the inside and sending it outward. Clockwise playing is often considered to provide more physical strength and personal power and supercharge our energy fields.
The counterclockwise stirring of energies is said to invoke a more receptive energy creation. It pulls into you and into the singing bowl a sense of outer energy into your inner energy. This can be beautiful for bringing into your auric field the people and things you desire.
In summary, you may like to think of it this way; clockwise stirring increases energy to have the strength and fortified to physically create in the world and is considered to invoke more masculine energy. Counterclockwise stirring is a way of bringing the energies outside of you to your inner world invoking the more divine feminine creativity abilities within you.
