ESSENCE

I am the field at dusk, the exhale you've been holding since morning. When your mind has scattered itself across a thousand small worries, when your shoulders have crept toward your ears without permission, I am the voice that says: you can set that down now. I do not demand stillness—I create the conditions where stillness becomes possible. This bowl holds lavender's ancient calm crystallized within quartz, sounding at the frequency of spiritual connection while anchoring through your hips and bones. Come home to your body. The rest can wait.

THE ELEMENT

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has grown in the rocky, sun-drenched soils of the Mediterranean for millennia—a hardy perennial that thrives in conditions other plants would find punishing. Its silvery-green leaves and purple flower spikes contain aromatic compounds that have made it one of humanity's most trusted botanical allies. The Romans bathed in lavender-infused waters. Medieval herbalists hung it in sickrooms. French perfumers built entire industries around its scent. Across cultures and centuries, lavender has meant one thing: relief.

The plant's traditional associations center on calming the nervous system, supporting restful sleep, and easing tension in both mind and body. Aromatherapists reach for lavender when someone is wound too tight, when thoughts spiral, when the body has forgotten how to rest. It carries the energy of permission—permission to slow down, to soften, to stop performing alertness when exhaustion lives underneath.

When lavender is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its molecular structure integrates at the formation stage—not as a surface coating, but as part of what vibrates. The plant's calming signature becomes woven into every frequency the bowl produces. This is why people often describe lavender bowls as having a "softer" or "rounder" quality to their tone—the botanical's essence shapes the sound itself.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in B at 245 Hz, resonating with the crown chakra in the Western diatonic system. The B frequency carries the energetic quality of spirituality, connection, and unity—the note associated with our highest point of consciousness, where individual awareness opens into something larger.

What makes this bowl unusual is the meeting of crown frequency with lower-body resonance. At this octave, the sound vibrates through the pelvis, hips, sitting bones, and lower spine—creating a pillar of alignment from root to crown. When lavender's calming presence meets this grounding-yet-transcendent frequency, the result is spiritual openness that stays connected to earth. You might notice a sense of settling downward even as awareness expands upward—the nervous system releasing its grip while the mind grows quiet and clear.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 245 Hz. Using A=432 as reference, it plays B+17 cents. (Using A=440 as reference, this same frequency is B-16 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 field showing how this bowl is labeled in that reference system—helpful for musicians integrating bowls into their existing setup.

(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—sound that continues to unfold and develop after the initial strike, filling a room without overwhelming it. The full, rich volume makes it ideal for group settings, yoga studios, classrooms, or living rooms where sound needs to reach multiple people. It's equally suited for personal practice where you want immersive resonance without needing to play continuously.

This size allows lavender's calming quality to express with warmth and depth rather than brightness—a tone that settles into the body rather than stimulating the mind. The third-octave resonance naturally targets the lower body, creating that distinctive grounding quality even while the B note connects to crown energy. Whether you're a massage therapist transitioning between clients, a parent creating bedtime calm, or someone unwinding after a long day, this size offers presence without demanding attention.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you notice the signs of accumulated tension—shallow breathing, racing thoughts, shoulders that have migrated upward, a general sense of being "on" when you'd rather be "off." Play it at the end of your workday to mark the transition from productivity to rest. Use it before sleep to signal your nervous system that the day is complete. Bring it into classrooms during transitions or test preparation. Let it fill the room while children settle for homework or bedtime.

To begin, simply strike the bowl with the mallet and breathe. You don't need technique or training—just presence. Notice where the sound lands in your body. Many people feel this bowl in their hips and low back first, then sense the vibration rising. Let your exhale lengthen naturally. If you're sharing sound with others—family, students, clients, colleagues—invite them to close their eyes and notice where they feel the tone. There's no wrong way to receive it.

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

This bowl won't ask what you do for a living or whether you've ever held a singing bowl before. It doesn't care if you're a sound healer with a decade of training or someone who just wants their Tuesday evenings to feel less frayed. Lavender has been helping humans exhale for thousands of years. It's not picky about credentials.

What's here: a B note that somehow grounds through your hips while opening toward something quieter and larger. Crown chakra frequency meeting lower-body resonance—transcendence that remembers it has a spine. The kind of calm that doesn't float away from real life but settles into it.

This is Bowl #660. It ships from our workshop within two business days, wrapped carefully by the people who made it. If it's the one, you'll know. If it's not, there are others—and we're glad you stayed this long either way.
