ESSENCE

I am the breath you forgot you were holding. When your chest has tightened around worry, when your mind races faster than your lungs can follow, I am the blend that says: slow down, settle in, let the exhale be longer than the inhale. Eight plants that know the pathways of breath and calm—ginger's warming clarity, lavender's gentle release, peppermint's cool opening, mullein's ancient lung wisdom—all woven into quartz and singing at the frequency where knowing meets body. I don't ask you to transcend anything. I ask you to arrive, fully, in the breath you're taking right now.

THE ELEMENT

CFC Tea represents a carefully composed botanical blend, each herb selected for its traditional role in supporting breath, calm, and physical ease. Ginger brings warming circulation and digestive comfort. Helichrysum, the "everlasting flower," has been used for centuries in Mediterranean traditions for respiratory and skin support. Lavender needs little introduction—its calming properties have made it a cornerstone of relaxation practices across cultures. Lemongrass offers bright, clarifying energy that cuts through mental fog. Marshmallow root, with its soothing mucilaginous quality, has supported throat and respiratory comfort since ancient Egyptian times. Mullein, a tall sentinel plant found on roadsides worldwide, carries deep traditional use for lung health. Peppermint opens airways with its cooling menthol presence. Violet leaf rounds the blend with gentle, heart-softening qualities.

When these eight botanicals are infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, their molecular structures integrate into the quartz itself during formation at over 3,000°F. Even as the plant materials transform at these temperatures, their unique structural imprints remain—creating a microstructure within the quartz that produces resonance patterns no other instrument can replicate. This isn't a coating or surface treatment; it's molecular integration. The result is a bowl that carries the energetic signature of an entire herbal tradition in every tone it produces.

Working with CFC Tea invites you into relationship with breath itself. The blend's combined wisdom—warming and cooling, grounding and opening, soothing and clarifying—creates conditions for your respiratory system to relax and your nervous system to follow. You may notice your shoulders dropping, your jaw unclenching, your breath naturally deepening without effort.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A# at 231 Hz, resonating at the transition point between the third eye and crown chakras in the Western diatonic system. This threshold frequency carries the energetic quality of transcendent knowing and cosmic awareness—yet it vibrates through your pelvis, hips, legs, and lower spine. The seeming paradox is the teaching: higher consciousness doesn't require leaving your body. It asks you to inhabit it more fully.

When CFC Tea's grounding botanical wisdom meets this bridging frequency, something remarkable happens. The herbs pull awareness downward into breath and body while the frequency opens upward toward expanded perception. People often describe the experience as "thinking clearly while feeling completely relaxed"—mental spaciousness without physical disconnection. The bowl creates conditions for insight that stays rooted, for calm that doesn't become numbness.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 231 Hz. Using A=432 as reference, it plays A#+15 cents. Using A=440 as reference, this same frequency is A#-18 cents.

This bowl is categorized in the A=432 tuning because its frequency aligns with instruments tuned to A=432 Hz—often called "Verdi tuning" or "natural tuning." Many people find A=432 produces a warmer, more organic quality that feels easier on the nervous system. If you have instruments tuned to A=432, or simply prefer this earth-connected sound, this bowl will harmonize beautifully with them. The technical specifications include an A=432 equivalent to help musicians understand exactly how this bowl fits their setup—the same physical frequency, just labeled according to a different reference point.

(For fine adjustment, adding water to the bowl lowers the pitch slightly—a technique some use to dial in precise intervals when playing with other instruments.)

THE SIZE

At 9 inches, this bowl produces third-octave tones with long, generous sustain—meaning each strike or rim tone continues singing well after you've stopped playing, filling space with continuous sound. The full, rich volume projects easily through larger rooms, making it equally suited for group sound baths, yoga classes, and spacious living areas. Yet its voice remains warm enough for personal practice, bedside use, or one-on-one sessions.

This size allows CFC Tea's complex botanical blend to express with full dimensionality—you may notice different herbal qualities emerging as the tone evolves and decays. The third-octave resonance naturally targets the lower body, reinforcing the grounding quality that makes this blend so effective for settling scattered energy. Whether you're a massage therapist transitioning between clients, a parent creating calm before bedtime, or someone seeking a few minutes of peace after a demanding day, this size offers versatility without sacrificing presence.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when breath feels shallow, when your chest is tight with unnamed tension, or when your mind won't stop spinning long enough for your body to rest. It's particularly valuable during seasonal transitions when respiratory systems need support, during high-stress periods when anxiety lives in the breath, or anytime you notice you've been holding tension without realizing it.

Begin simply. Sit or lie comfortably and strike the bowl once. As the tone unfolds, let your exhale lengthen naturally—not forced, just invited. Notice where breath moves in your body. The botanical blend's wisdom will meet you where you are: if you need warming, ginger rises; if you need cooling, peppermint arrives; if you need softening, lavender and violet leaf do their quiet work. You might place the bowl near your chest or throat to feel the vibration directly in your respiratory space, or simply let the sound fill the room while you breathe. Teachers find this bowl invaluable for classroom transitions—a single tone that signals "we're shifting now" while actually helping young nervous systems regulate. Athletes use it during recovery, letting the grounding frequency and breath-supporting herbs accelerate the return to baseline after intense exertion.

Each Divine Bowls singing bowl includes a pure quartz mallet wrapped in premium silicone for optimal resonance, plus a silicone O-ring for stable playing on hard surfaces. Every bowl is formed in a single seamless vessel from 99.998% pure quartz—no welds, no weak points—built to last lifetimes of use.

INVITATION

Some sounds don't ask anything of you. They just arrive—like breath remembered, like shoulders finally dropping, like the exhale you didn't know you were holding.

This bowl carries eight plants that understand the pathways between chest and calm. Ginger's warmth. Lavender's release. Peppermint's cool opening. All of it singing at a frequency that bridges knowing and body, that says you don't have to leave yourself to find peace.

It's here. In our workshop, numbered and waiting. Not for a practitioner or a professional or someone who has their life together—just for whoever needs to breathe a little easier today.

That might be you. It might not. Either way, the bowl will keep singing.
