Crystal bowls have been used in therapeutic ways since the 1980s. While there is some speculation about the use of crystal chalices in ancient cultures, we have found no direct evidence of their use. However, it is interesting to note that in a combination of new and ancient technology, the computer industry made very high quality pure silicon quartz crystal bowls that were used to grow pure silicon chips for their computers. If these bowls were not precise enough, they were thrown away. Apparently, someone on their way to the trash found that they also had an incredibly pure sound and decided not to throw them away! That's how the Singing Crystal Bowl was born. This gave birth to the singing crystal bowl industry.

Since then, they have become a vehicle for those with great potential to heal people with their voices. Just like the ancient Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls can be used as a sound tool. Combining awareness and intention in their use can significantly increase their effectiveness. By simply listening to the rich, pure, vibrant tones of the crystal bowls, most people who receive the sounds find them deeply relaxing, rejuvenating, and even stirring up deep emotions and states of well-being. By utilizing awareness techniques, practitioners can guide the recipient into clarity, balance the chakra centers, and much more. They can be used to bring the recipient into deep meditative states, into other dimensional states, or, into the realm of wisdom and understanding.

A cancer specialist at the New York Medical Center found that using the Crystal Singing Bowls, especially in conjunction with simple chanting and meditation exercises, helped his patients achieve significant improvements and recovery rates beyond those using only standard allopathic treatments. Many other practitioners have provided research and anecdotal evidence in their use. We have found them to be an extraordinary tool for clients to simply bask in the richness of sound that produces a deep state of feeling of health and relaxation. This can lead the body into a place of balance which helps the body to recover from self-generation.
