Customers often ask us which set of crystal bowls to purchase. Which set is the best? There really are many choices and there is no single answer to this question. Below you will find.
Matching Sets - They come in sets of 2 to 5 bowls.You can start with one Matching Set and then add the remaining bowls to make a complete 7, 8 or 9 Bowl Set.Start by choosing what you like to hear and slowly make up the 7, 8, and 9 piece sets to make up the completed major scale.
7, 8 or 9 Bowl Chakra Sets – A 7, 8 or 9 bowl set plays the major scale, "Do – Re – Mi – Fa – So – La – Ti – Do". The 7 bowl set excludes the final "Do". The 9 bowl set adds an additional lower harmonic. These sets have been used paired with the 7 major chakras, though can as well be used with the 8th chakra above the head, and the earth chakra below the tail bone with the 9 bowl set. You can hear these sets by going to our Frosted Quartz Crystal Singing Bowl Sets.

If you are playing for yourself, consider how you intend to play. Would you sit in your living room with a few bowls in front of you and do a simple meditation? Or would you want to create an entire symphony and want to have 8-9 bowls around you?
If you are playing bowls for others, simply consider your approach and how the bowls can provide support. We lead our clients through an intensive meditation, exploration and manipulation of conscious experience in which the sound of the frosted bowls is supportive. In our meditations we use only simple harmonies, using 2-3 bowls, and the meditations can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the approach. Simply creating elevated harmonized environments as a backdrop for the meditation is sufficient.
However, if you plan to have the client listen only to the bowls as the object of meditation, as in a sound bath, then perhaps it can support people to have multiple tones. It could support people having 6-8 bowls to help them focus. If you are doing classic chakra meditation, it could support clients having individual bowls associated with each chakra to help them find the chakras and help them focus.
