Crystal singing bowls have been used for centuries as a form of sound therapy to promote healing and relaxation. These beautiful instruments are made from quartz crystal and produce a pure, resonant sound that can have a profound impact on the mind, body, and spirit.

What are Crystal Singing Bowls?

Crystal singing bowls are a type of musical instrument that are used in sound therapy and meditation practices. They are made from pure quartz crystal and are carefully crafted to produce a specific tone when struck or rubbed with a mallet. Each bowl is tuned to a specific frequency, which is believed to correspond to different energy centers in the body known as chakras.

How do Crystal Singing Bowls Work?

When a crystal singing bowl is played, it produces a rich, harmonic sound that resonates with the body at a cellular level. This sound can help to balance the energy centers in the body, promoting a sense of well-being and relaxation. The vibrations produced by the bowls are thought to help release blockages and tension, allowing energy to flow more freely throughout the body.

Benefits of Sound Therapy with Crystal Singing Bowls

Research has shown that sound therapy with crystal singing bowls can have a range of benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep, and enhancing overall well-being. The vibrations produced by the bowls can also help to stimulate the body's natural healing processes and promote a sense of inner peace and harmony.

How to Use Crystal Singing Bowls for Healing

To experience the healing power of crystal singing bowls, simply find a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax and focus on the sound of the bowls. You can either play the bowls yourself or seek out a trained sound therapist who can guide you through a session. Close your eyes, take deep breaths, and allow the sound of the bowls to wash over you, focusing on the vibrations and sensations in your body.

Whether you are looking to reduce stress, improve your overall well-being, or simply relax and unwind, crystal singing bowls can be a powerful tool for healing and transformation. Explore the world of sound therapy and discover the profound effects that these beautiful instruments can have on your mind, body, and spirit.

Arnica is a flower that looks much like a daisy. The dried yellow petals are steamed distilled for their essential oil that helps with inflammation, circulation and pain relief.

Arnica has been used for hundreds of years to treat pain, inflammation and speed the healing of bruises.

The Body Lounge formulas are all handmade in Vermont and are very concentrated. They are non-irritating and the percentage of arnica is greater than in many other formulas which is why they are particularly effective.

All varieties contain the same concentration of arnica. The lotion and the cream are similar with the cream having the addition of shea butter and more coconut oil. The massage oil has a smaller molecular structure than creams (as do all oils) so sometimes take effect a bit earlier as they are absorbed quicker.

 

 

 

Whether it's White Sage, Blue Sage, Palo Santo, Cedar or any other type of Smudge stick/bundle, use these instructions to Smudge your Home Office, car or any other personal space.

1. Start by opening a window just enough to get a very slight breeze. This will help dispel any smoke build up and will allow negative energy to leave your space.

2. Generally you should not need to untie the string from your sage for it to burn well, but if you have trouble, pulling it apart may help it burn better. (String is safe to burn, and small chunks can be burned separately). For Palo Santo, no special preparation is required to begin.

3. Begin by lighting your smudge stick for about 15-30 seconds while holding the flame to the tip of your smudge stick. Rotate it slowly to generate a nice smoldering ember. You can also gently blow on the ember in 1-second intervals to maintain it and remember to use caution.

4. It's perfectly natural and normal for any type of smudge stick to stop burning and go out within a minute or two. Just re-light as needed and understand that this is just the nature of these items. If you have a larger ember, gently blow on the smudge stick to make it last longer. (Tip: Make sure to never leave your smudge stick unattended and be mindful of any drafts or breezes - it can prolong the embers so keep a close watch.)

5. Be mindful of the ash forming on your smudge stick, you may want to use an ash tray, smudging bowl or traditionally an Abalone shell is used to hold smudge sticks before, during and after use. Tip:  When you are finished smudging, you can place your smudge stick in the shell or tray until you are ready to cleanse again. Be sure to avoid humidity when storing your smudge sticks.

6. When smudging, start in any room or area furthest from the exit. Move the smoke around the room from high to low, side to side, while making your way to the exit. Another method you can use is to begin near the exit and move clockwise or counterclockwise around the room and make your way to the exit. (Tip: Traditionally you can use a feather to waft the smoke, but that's optional and may not be included with your kit.

7. When you're ready, move on to the next area and repeat step 6. if you are smudging a person or object, you can slowly waft the smoke over the body or item from top to bottom and side to side.

One last tip: remember to always, always, always use caution! 

For any purpose, the process remains

Remember that what you say is not as important as what you believe. Try to free your thoughts of any negativity and remember that the Creator has given you the tools to cleanse your space and protect it.

Light your Sage and use this blessing throughout your smudging process as much or as little as you feel is needed.
