ESSENCE

I am the one who holds nothing back and asks the same of you. When you've been speaking around the truth—to yourself, to another, to the room—I am the frequency that says: come closer to what is real. This bowl carries the witness quality of pure quartz meeting the throat's territory of expression, sized to move through your whole body while lifting toward something brighter. I don't make honesty comfortable. I make it possible.

THE ELEMENT

Clear quartz is pure silicon dioxide—the same mineral that forms in mountain veins and ancient geodes, crystallized atom by atom into perfect geometric lattices. The Greeks called it krystallos, believing it was water frozen so completely it could never melt. They weren't entirely wrong about its nature: clear quartz is transparency made solid, a window that holds its shape.

For millennia, cultures worldwide have reached for this crystal when clarity mattered most. Indigenous healers used it to focus intention and carry prayers. Medieval Europeans gazed into quartz spheres seeking truth beyond the visible. Buddhist practitioners incorporated it into malas for meditation, trusting its capacity to amplify whatever intention the practitioner brings. Modern science discovered its piezoelectric properties—quartz converts pressure into electrical signal—which is why it now keeps time in watches and stabilizes frequencies in electronics. The same precision that makes quartz reliable in technology makes it remarkable in sound.

When clear quartz is infused into a singing bowl through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, it isn't applied as a coating—it's integrated at the molecular level during formation. The quartz's crystalline structure becomes part of what vibrates, producing resonance patterns unique to this instrument. People who work with clear quartz bowls often describe the tone as exceptionally pure, with a clarity that seems to cut through mental fog. This is the element of no hiding—it amplifies what is present, whether that's confusion seeking resolution or truth ready to be spoken.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in G at 397 Hz, resonating with the throat chakra in the Western diatonic system. The G note carries the energetic quality of expression, communication, and truth—the frequency associated with speaking what needs to be said and hearing what needs to be heard. At 397 Hz, this vibration moves through your torso, chest cavity, heart, lungs, and core, creating physical sensation in the places where breath becomes voice.

When clear quartz's transparent witness quality meets the throat chakra's domain of authentic expression, something specific happens: the bowl creates conditions for honesty that feels grounded rather than reckless. The large size ensures this isn't a heady, floating experience—you feel it in your body. The uplift tuning (+23 cents) adds brightness without losing depth. People often notice their breath deepening, their jaw softening, their words coming more easily after working with this frequency.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 397 Hz. Using A=440 as reference, it plays G+23 cents. Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is G#+8 cents.

This bowl is categorized as Uplift Tuning because its frequency falls above the C=528 range, producing a brighter, more energizing quality. These frequencies have an awakening character—sounds that clarify rather than sedate. The "Intimate Uplift" name reflects this quality: the bowl supports the kind of closeness that requires courage, the intimacy that comes from being truly seen. The elevated pitch creates resonance that many find enlivening, particularly valuable for clearing stagnation in communication or bringing fresh energy to relationships or conversations that have become stuck.

(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 12 inches, this bowl produces third-octave tones with very long sustain—sound that continues resonating well after you've stopped playing, filling space and settling into the body. The deep, penetrating volume makes it ideal for large rooms, group settings, ceremonial use, or anyone wanting sound that moves through the whole physical structure. This size works beautifully in yoga studios, retreat centers, and therapy offices, but equally in living rooms where families gather, home offices before important calls, or bedrooms where partners want to create intentional space together.

The large vessel allows clear quartz's amplifying quality to express with full resonance, while the third-octave depth ensures the uplift tuning doesn't become thin or sharp. You get brightness anchored in body—the best of both qualities.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when something needs to be said—to yourself, to another, to a room. Before difficult conversations, play it and let the sustained tone settle your nervous system while clarifying your intention. Notice where you feel the vibration: likely your chest, your throat, your solar plexus. These are the places where truth lives before it becomes words.

For couples or close relationships, try playing the bowl at the beginning of intentional time together—not as background, but as a shared moment of arrival. Let the sound create a container before you speak. Teachers might use it to signal transitions into discussion or reflection time. Therapists might play it briefly between sessions to clear the room and reset their own presence. Writers can use it before sitting down to work, letting the frequency cut through resistance and self-doubt. Athletes preparing for competition might find it useful for centering before visualization work—the throat chakra connection supports the internal dialogue that shapes performance.

You don't need to do anything special. Strike or rim the bowl, breathe, and notice what becomes clearer. The bowl creates conditions; you do the work of showing up honestly.

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 99.995% pure quartz—no welds, no weak points—built to last lifetimes of use.

INVITATION

The morning before the conversation you've been avoiding. The moment when your chest tightens and you realize you've been speaking around what matters for weeks, maybe months. The recognition that something needs to shift—not someday, but now.

This bowl doesn't make honesty comfortable. It makes it possible.

Clear quartz holds nothing back. The G note at 397 Hz moves through your throat, your chest, your core—the places where truth lives before it becomes words. The 12-inch vessel ensures you feel it in your body, not just your head. The uplift tuning adds brightness without losing depth, creating space for the kind of intimacy that requires courage: being truly seen, speaking what's real, hearing without defense.

This is the bowl that helps you stop speaking around the truth and start speaking from it—that's the one sitting in front of you right now.
