Tips for Using Crystal Singing Bowls in a Sound Bath

There are different types of instruments used to play the Crystal Singing Bowl, the main types are categorized into mallets/wands and they can play with different sounds/feelings. You might consider buying different types of wands. Playing crystal bowls with different wands is the best way to practice the feel and sound method in my opinion. You can also get an idea of what type of wand works best for you!

When the Crystal Singing Bowl if starting to buzz under your mallet or wand, this buzzing indicates that the volume of the bowl is “maxed out” so it has sung to its heart's content! If you overplay like this for a long period of time, there is a risk of breaking the crystal singing bowls, which is the sort of thing we don't want! Again, try not to over-tap them. It's okay to give them a few quick taps in a row, but be careful not to hit them like a drum! The wonderful thing about crystal singing bowls is that they maintain a beautiful, pure frequency for your clients, allowing that effect to permeate the room.

But be careful not to play a crystal bowl for a long period of time; it can be distracting and even irritating to your clients. So take the time to learn different pitches of crystal bowls to combine, so that trying different combinations of playing with the different pitches of crystal bowls you have should achieve the effect you want. So always make sure that there is plenty of variation in tone! But singing bowls are melodic, so it's important, if you're a musician, to try not to make the tone bath too musical. Musicians struggle with this, so you need to be careful whenever you have a group or private sound bath.
