Notes on this bowl's unique characteristics:

This bowl creates an interesting energetic paradox — its larger 9" size naturally grounds through lower body resonance zones, while its bright 635 Hz frequency stimulates upper body awareness. The result is an instrument that lifts and clarifies while keeping you anchored. The D# note carries transitional, alchemical energy — the breath between states, the exhale that precedes transformation. When Andara's multidimensional, electromagnetic-balancing properties meet this frequency, the experience is one of expansion that remains embodied.

The bowl falls just 4 Hz below the 639 Hz Solfeggio frequency (Heart Chakra — Connection & Relationships), carrying similar heart-opening qualities while maintaining its own distinct voice. This proximity to Solfeggio 639 Hz, combined with its C=528 tuning category, makes it particularly well-suited for heart-centered work, relationship healing, and practices bridging personal power with compassionate expression.

This Andara crystal singing bowl sounds in D# at 635 Hz, resonating with the sacral and solar plexus chakras and the upper body—head, throat, and crown. Andara supports vibrational clarity, electromagnetic field balancing, and multidimensional awareness. When volcanic glass born from Mount Shasta's sacred earth meets a frequency that bridges personal power and creative expression, the result is an instrument for those ready to shift into their next becoming.

• Creating sacred space in homes, studios, or retreat centers

ESSENCE

I am the glass that remembers fire. Born in volcanic heat beneath Mount Shasta's slopes, I carry the memory of transformation—silica and trace minerals fused at temperatures that dissolve old structures and birth something luminous. When you feel scattered across too many screens, too many demands, too many frequencies that aren't your own, I am the presence that says: let me hold space while you remember your own coherence. I don't force anything open. I create permission.

THE ELEMENT

Andara crystals are amorphous natural glass, primarily silica with sodium oxide, calcium oxide, and trace amounts of platinum, iridium, and other rare minerals. Unlike crystalline quartz with its orderly lattice structure, Andara forms without geometric pattern—fluid even in its solid state. First discovered in 1967 by Nellie Morse Thompson, a Choctaw medicine woman, near Mount Shasta, California, these specimens emerged from ancient volcanic activity in one of North America's most recognized energy vortex sites.

What distinguishes Andara from ordinary glass is its monatomic mineral content—elements with unusually high atomic spin rates that laboratory analyses have confirmed in Mount Shasta soil samples. These trace elements create vibrational properties distinct from standard obsidian or manufactured glass. Colors shift depending on light and angle: blues deepen to violet, golds catch illumination that wasn't visible a moment before. This isn't optical illusion—it's the nature of amorphous glass interacting with light.

When Andara is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its molecular structure becomes part of what vibrates. The element integrates during formation at over 3,000°F—not as a surface coating, but as a unified microstructure within the quartz itself. This is why people often describe Andara bowls as producing tones with unusual shimmer and multidimensional quality. Traditions associate Andara with electromagnetic field stabilization, aura protection, and crown chakra activation. When you work with this element, you're inviting a presence that supports clarity without force—creating conditions for whatever is ready to emerge.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in D# at 635 Hz, sitting at the transition between sacral and solar plexus chakras in the Western diatonic system. The D# frequency carries the energetic quality of breath, release, and transformation—the exhale that precedes change, the alchemical moment between what was and what's becoming.

At 635 Hz, this bowl creates an interesting paradox: its larger 9-inch size grounds and anchors through the lower body, while its bright frequency stimulates upper body awareness—head, throat, sinuses, and the upper energetic field. When Andara's clarifying, light-body properties meet this transitional frequency, the experience is one of expansion that remains tethered. People often report feeling simultaneously lifted and present, as though they can perceive more while remaining fully embodied.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 635 Hz. Using A=440 as reference, it plays D#+35 cents. Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is E-33 cents.

This bowl is categorized in the C=528 tuning because its frequency aligns with instruments tuned so that middle C equals 528 Hz—known as the "Love Frequency" in Solfeggio tradition. This brighter tuning is associated with heart-opening qualities and joyful expansion. The slightly elevated pitch creates an uplifting, clarifying resonance that many find energizing. Interestingly, this bowl at 635 Hz falls just 4 Hz below the 639 Hz Solfeggio frequency associated with heart connection and harmonious relationships—close enough to carry similar heart-opening qualities while maintaining its own distinct voice.

(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 fourth-octave tones with long, generous sustain—sound that continues to develop and shimmer well after the mallet leaves the rim. The full, rich volume fills large spaces naturally, making it ideal for group sound baths, yoga studios, conference rooms, or open living areas. Yet its voice remains warm enough for personal practice, morning ritual, or bedside use.

This size allows Andara's clarifying, light-body properties to express with substantial presence—the element's subtle frequencies carried on a wave of sound that can be felt as much as heard. The fourth-octave resonance naturally targets the lower body and foundational energy centers, grounding the bowl's ethereal qualities into physical experience. Whether you're clearing a treatment room between clients, opening a team meeting with intention, or creating sacred space in your home, this size commands attention without overwhelming.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you feel electromagnetically scattered—after hours of screen time, following intense interactions with others, or when the accumulated static of modern life has left you feeling diffuse. It's equally valuable at thresholds: before beginning creative work, when navigating major decisions, or during any transition where you need clarity about what's emerging.

Begin simply. Place the bowl on its O-ring, take three conscious breaths, and let the mallet circle the rim until tone builds. Notice how the sound seems to clear the air itself—many people describe the sensation as "lighter" not in weight but in luminosity, as though something dense has gently dissolved. You might play this bowl before writing sessions to break through blocks, at the start of team meetings to establish collective presence, or during evening wind-down to release the day's accumulated frequencies. Parents find it useful for helping overstimulated children settle; athletes use it for visualization and pre-competition centering. There's no wrong way to work with Andara—it creates permission rather than prescription.

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

Some bowls arrive with instructions. This one arrives with permission.

Andara doesn'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 clearing a treatment room, centering before a presentation, or just stealing three minutes of quiet while the coffee brews. It offers the same thing to everyone: a frequency that clarifies without forcing, a presence that holds space while you remember your own coherence.

This is a bowl for threshold moments—the pause before the creative work begins, the breath between what was and what's becoming, the morning before anyone else wakes. It's also a bowl for ordinary Tuesdays when the accumulated static of screens and schedules has left you feeling scattered across too many frequencies that aren't your own.

 The rest—what you do with it, when, why—that's yours to discover.
