CRYSTAL BOWL
SOUND HEALING
How are crystal bowls made?
The substance used in the making of the quartz crystal bowls is "silica sand".  The sand is dropped into a centrifugal force spinning mold and at the proper instant in the center of that mold there is an electric arch torch that is ignited to several thousand degrees centigrade and the individual silica particles are melted into a unified whole.
The bowls come in various sizes, each relating to the seven major Chakras in the body and each with it's own predominant tone.  They emit incredibly pure vibrational tones, similar to a crystal wine glass but much stronger.  These vibrations have many wonderful effects on our bodies and energy fields and can have a truly profound healing effect on the entire system. The bowls can be played near or directly on the body.
When the bowls are played they impact upon the physical and subtle energies of the individual to:
Calm the mind, balance the body.
Balance all chakras.
Cleanse the Aura -by shattering any accumulated energy debris in the etheric body.
Break up rigid energy patterns and restore the circular flow of energy to the aura.
Synchronize the hemispheres of the brain.
Permeate the cells within the body to release blockages or restore vibrational balance.
Effect physiological systems of the body depending on which bowl is being played.
Stimulate the immune system.
Intensify meditational experiences and achieve altered states of consciousness.
Effect healing in general bringing about balance of body, mind and spirit.


An excerpt from
`Sound therapy' becoming more mainstream
By Garret Condon, The Hartford Courant
(published 7-12-04, Daily Camera)
As the bowls sang on, Jemiola asked participants to visualize their problems and pains, to put them in imaginary bubbles and, toward the end of the hour-long session, to imagine those bubbles filled with clear, white light.
This was not a sing-along; it was a “sound healing” session.
“It just gives you a sense of peace and makes you feel that you can help yourself through a lot of emotional and physical issues.  It makes you feel that you have that power,” said Betty Sanville of Suffield, Conn., who was attending her third session with Jemiola.
Sound healing, or sound therapy, as it is also called, is taking its place among other alternative or complementary medical practices such as ayurvedic medicine (a Hindu form of medicine), herbalism and other less-mainstream health-care practices.
Sound therapy is not the same as music therapy, says Al Bumanis, a spokesman for the American Musical Therapy Association.   In musical therapy, he said, clinical therapists and patients use music to achieve a non-musical goal, such as restoring speech to a stroke victim.
For those who like their health practices to conform to accepted science, sound healing offers relaxation and the many widely accepted, stress-relieving and immune-building qualities of meditative calm.  For those who subscribe to a more Asian view of the body as an energy field, the right sound or sounds can rebalance and unblock energy and, by doing so, promote physical, emotional and mental health.
