Singing Bowls

by Jeanne Cimillo

Rita and I sat in her singing bowl room to talk about how they can benefit in a person's natural healing. As many questions I could think about asking, nothing compared to experiencing them for myself. Rita picked up a bowl seemingly at random and began to play it for me. I shut my eyes and I could feel the vibrations into my abdomen and my lower back. This was the very area of my body that I injured in a car accident two months ago.

I felt as if a knot that was in my back untied itself while the bowls sung their song. I also felt a release in the pressure of my abdomen. I felt relaxed and was at peace. She gave me the opportunity to play one for myself. She had me pick a bowl and I chose a gorgeous ocean blue colored bowl. It took a little practice before I can get the right sound from it but when I finally got it to work, I felt an almost electric charge coming out of the bowl and it traveled through my arm and through my body.

The vibration was amazing and I felt like it took me away for a moment. I felt my soul leap upwards and for a brief moment I sensed I was walking among the stars and I came back as soon as the bowl's vibration ended. All stress left my body and I felt better than I ever have felt in a long time. My energy came back and it was like a took a good nap and was refreshed.

Rita explained , “The consciousness of the bowls connects with the clients.”

Rita first came across singing bowls while she was in Thailand. She loved the sound of the Tibetan singing bowls. When she came across the Alchemy crystal singing bowls she felt that the vibration goes a bit deeper. Crystal does have a higher vibration from medal. Each bowl gives a different tone and it affects a different chakra.

How does Rita chose the ones to use. Simply put, they talk to her. Each vibration speaks to a different part of a body and when she is with a client, they can tell her which one each client needs to hear. From my personal experience, I can tell you that it's definitely true. When I chose a bowl to work with it wasn't like I had to compare them, pick them up or even touch them. I was drawn to one and it's tone matched my needs. It's was a truly treasured experience.
