What Are Quart Crystal Singing Bowls?
Quartz crystal singing bowls are a special type of instrument all on their own, and while they may share some things in common with their metal Tibetan bowl counterparts, they have their own separate history, properties, healing qualities, and uses. Read on to find out the way by which the quartz crystal bowls came into existence, how they are uniquely special, and what they are primarily used for.
What Makes Them Special?
Crystal singing bowls are made of pure quartz. The human body is said to have many crystalline structures, such as our bones, dna, blood and even certain parts of the brain, and these structures have a natural resonance with quartz. Even our cells contain silica, the same substance found in quartz. These natural affinities make these crystal singing bowls naturally healing to our bodies. Quartz bowls, unlike their Tibetan counterparts, can also be tuned to a specific note. This makes them perfect for sound healing and the targeted balancing of specific chakras.
While Tibetan bowls have always been in use for spiritual and religious purposes, crystal singing bowls find their roots in a more modern and, some would say, completely unrelated origin. These quartz bowls came into production in the 1980′s as a byproduct of the computer industry. They were used to hold computer chips that needed to be heated to incredibly high temperatures. Scientists would actually throw them away after using them! After a while, someone realized that these crystal bowls, being made of pure quartz, must have special healing qualities and began acquiring and selling these computer-industry byproducts on their own.
The bowls are made through a special and fairly involved process. First the purest sources of silica sand is gathered for the manufacturing process. Then, this sand is dropped into a centrifugal mold heated to over 4000 degrees centigrade. This process melts the sand and fuses them particles into one solid crystal. After that, the crystal is tuned to a specific note, one so strong that it is perceptible even 2000 feet away. The sound qualities of crystal singing bowls rival the highest quality instruments ever produced.
These are just a few facts on the special qualities of quartz crystal singing bowls, and as you explore more, you will be sure to find many more fascinating pieces of information about these objects.
Crystal Singing Bowls Can Harmonize Your Body And Mind
In ancient times, such bowls were made of metal. Now we also have crystal singing bowls. The healing power of rock-crystal bowls is particularly notable. It is believed that rock crystal accumulates clean solar energy, which can harmonize the entire body by passing a flow of fresh energy through its cells. This energy flow affects all body organs, and especially those that are “related” to the sun: heart, plexus, back and eyes.
Crystal Singing Bowls have a unique sound, which is different from the Tibetan bowls made of metal. Depending on the size and thickness of the crystal bowl, it will make different notes. Crystal bowls are renowned worldwide for their powerful resonance and ability to tune the energy of the body at optimal frequencies.
The fact is that every cell in the body produces vibrations, and our bodies respond to other sound vibrations readily. Sound is energy, and our bodies are an interweaving of energies. The energy of sound always affects our bodies. We use sound to communicate and express our feelings and thoughts. Sound acts on the nervous system and creates vibrations in the entire body. This effect has been known for thousands of years, and ancient people often used singing and music for healing.
Theoretically, everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, including people. Modern physics has determined that the universe is composed of small particles, which are in constant motion. This continuous activity creates certain vibrations that can be measured. The human body also creates certain vibrations. Like all things in the universe, singing bowls also have their own unique vibration – it depends on their size, shape, materials and production technology. Contemporary research in physics suggests that different parts of the body resonate with different tones (notes) from singing bowls.
The powerful vibration of crystal singing bowls can pass through the body (it is easy to do for sound, as a human body is 60-80% water) and massage each cell delicately. The human body vibrates at different wavelengths, where each body part has its own frequency. Moreover, healthy organs are well-tuned, while the ill ones are in a dissonant. Singing Bowls can restore the harmonic frequencies by adjusting and stimulating the ill organs and the rest of the body. Furthermore, the sound of crystal singing bowls can restore the nervous system. Healers of antiquity also knew about the impact of music and sound on the chakras, and used it for centuries in the practice of nada yoga.
Today, you can find CDs with recorded music of crystal bowls, as well as books that provide information on how to work with each track. The sound of these bowls is enchanting, healing, soothing, clear, and airy. These magical vibrations penetrate deeply into the body, making it “plunge” into the world of the pure crystal. The clear and rich sound of these bowls make the listener feel “weightless” and “light”. Crystal singing bowls make great energy-rich music for relaxation and healing. These and similar techniques are often used in feng shui.

Appearing bubbled, smooth, and rippling, the raw hematite in this collection appears almost as though they were created within a lava flow, like igneous rock, rather than being created as a mineral deposit, as they are. With the characteristic, metallic luster for which it is known, each piece of hematite offers a surface that shines almost like graphite, while also showing the coarser edges and qualities of the minerals in which it was formed. Not only beautiful to look upon and curious to study, hematite`s iron composition makes it a one of the more common ores mined for iron, and it is often found to have magnetic properties. In magical practices, crystal healing, and other such spiritual pursuits, hematite is highly valued as a stone that can help keep you grounded. It is used within these purposes sometimes to help maintain focus, and to keep you at the task on hand. Hematite is used sometimes to draw negative energy away, being used to absorb these energies to allow positive influences to reign. Each collection contains approximately 50 raw hematite stones, each measuring from approximately 1″ in diameter to 2″-3″ in length. Please allow for variation in exact sizes and quantities, as these are natural formations.

SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTMENT
What Is Spiritual Enlightenment
As it seems, spiritual enlightenment is often categorized into levels for practical purposes. Highest stage of spiritual enlightenment marks the attainment of God, but still there are certain levels through which the individual needs to evolve. It is like rising from the levels of animality to which we often tend to degrade ourselves. From the levels of animality, we rise to the level of humanity, which constitutes our true nature. And further from humanity to divinity, where we merge back in the source from where we have come. Let us, for our practical purpose, put them in stages and analyze the state of being in each stage:
At the very first level of spiritual enlightenment, the individual starts experiencing the reality as it is. It means that your mind ceases to interfere with what you are experiencing. Quite often, we are engaged in continuous talk, gossip, analyzing the environment around us, planning about future, and so on. However, when spiritual enlightenment dawns on your being, you take everything as it is.
At the second stage of spiritual enlightenment, you feel yourself in almost everything around you. You feel that you have some connection to every object and every individual in the world. It is like losing your own individuality. Spiritual enlightenment has its culmination at merging the soul in Supreme Soul, and this is where you start experiencing it. You feel that you are not individual anymore and not separate from anything. You feel that you are in everything and everything is just a part of the Supreme Soul from where you also have emerged.
At the third stage of spiritual enlightenment, you no longer feel connected to everything but realize you are everything. Because spiritual enlightenment gives you the experience of oneness with God, you feel that you are not separate from anything. You are not merely the body, sense, mind, and faculty of intellect: you are what everything else is. This stage of spiritual enlightenment imparts the direct experience of oneness.
Spiritual enlightenment is the fruit that sets you free, as you lose all wants and wishes to receive the fruits of your actions. You feel the bliss of completeness through spiritual enlightenment. At first it gives you the feeling that you need “Light”. At the next stage, you feel that you are merging in “Light”. At the culminating stage, you feel that you are no more separated from “Light”—you and “Light” are one.
How Meditation Can Lead You To Spiritual Enlightenment
Have you ever found yourself struggling in meditation? You sit to meditate expecting bliss or enlightenment but instead all you really experience is frustration? That’s because the very attempt to get something out of meditation, blocks you from actually meditating.
Meditation is a bit like gardening, you plant some carrot seeds and then every day you water it, you pull the weeds, you nourish the carrot plant in every way you can. You don’t expect a carrot instantly. But out of love for gardening you do the work without expecting anything in return. And then one day to your surprise,there is the carrot, beautiful, orange and delicious. Same with meditation.
If you commit yourself to meditation without expecting anything in return; If you give yourself to this moment out of the love of giving. Because some days meditation will be challenging, some days meditation will be blissful and some days meditation will be a challenging surrender to the intensity that is here.
But simply by meditating and by nourishing your awareness in every way you can,one day, without even focusing on it, you could be reading a book or walking in the woods and suddenly there is an opening. Suddenly, bliss is radiating freely from your heart.
Enlightenment will happen without you thinking about it. Without you do anything on your part.
It arises on its own, at its own time, yet it arises also because you planted the seed and helped it grow.
And the best way to help your meditation grow into enlightenment is by sitting in the presence of an enlightened teacher, one who has mastered high states of meditation. Such a teacher naturally radiates a bliss(known as shaktipat) that can be felt by others. And so simply by sitting with them, you easily enter deep states of meditation.
But you can experience this same bliss by listening to a very unique Enlightenment CD. Simply by listening to beautiful meditation music, you effortlessly attain deep states of meditation and bliss.

Creating Your Own Private Meditation Room
Meditation rooms are not separate rooms all the time most of the time they are just secluded nooks, in someones home where one can be in total isolation to be able to think, relax and meditate. Having a private meditation room, however, is not something that has to be exclusive to yoga practitioners. You too can have your very own meditation room which you can use as a place just to sit back and get away from the fast-paced and stressful daily life that most of us live. Your meditation room can be your own hideaway, where you can breathe freely and gather your thoughts together.
When choosing your meditation room quietness and isolation are the primary qualities that a meditation room must have, No matter how small your home is it is possible to have a meditation room where you can have a bit of peaceful respite. If possible, just find a place to set it up that is a little out of the way in your home.
You could use your bedroom if you like as long as there are o distractions, or noise that would hinder your meditation or peacefulness! Any corner that can be made secluded can do, in fact. All you need to do, if your meditation room is not a separate room in itself, is to partition it creatively so you would not be bothered if you are inside your nook. For it is a zen feeling you are trying to achieve, and all you should worry about.
A meditation room does not require much in terms of furnishings, and as long as you are comfortable that’s all that should matter to you. The most essential piece of furniture is a comfortable chair that is wide enough for you to curl your legs in, and even at that, a chair is not that necessary. If space is a problem, a cushion can serve in its stead.
A CD player, however, may be necessary. It helps a lot to meditate while listening to soft, instrumental music, or perhaps to recorded natural sounds like the singing of the birds or the sound of the waves or the sound of the falling rain. Music is very helpful in getting you relaxed and in the right mind-frame.
How your meditation room is lighted may affect how well you focus and concentrate in clearing your mind here. The lighting you ought to install in your meditation room is something soft and subtle. Stay away from the harshly glowing fluorescent bulbs when you light your meditation room.
You do not have to decorate the walls. If you can paint the walls a neutral color, it would be best to do so. You do not need anything that can distract you from your meditation inside your meditation room. To set and enhance the mood, however, you can put shelves where you can place some scented candles or a vase of flowers or perhaps a figurine or two. A potted plant can help set the mood, too. These are all the decoration you would need for your meditation room.Your meditation room is ideally the one place in your house, if not in the whole world, where you can get away to relax and to clear your mind of anything that is bothering you. The one thing that will defeat this purpose is if you leave clutter in your meditation room.
No matter how busy you may be with your daily life, always find the time to keep your meditation room clean and free from clutter. Cleaning your meditation room may be seen as a form of meditation in itself. After all, the reason you have a meditation room is to keep your mind clear and unburned by chaos. To achieve that, you have to keep your meditation room clean and unburned by chaos as well.
Meditation Chairs & The Benefits Of Having One

Meditation will be possible only when the mind and body is in harmony, when you face any sort of physical discomfort, you will not experience the best of meditation. Your mind will instead turn to the discomfort you are feeling. You need to be as comfortable as possible in order to expand, your consciousness and obtain good clarity of mind. You also require to sit at a single position for a longer period of time, this usually causes a lot of distress and cramping in the body.
Meditation chairs are specially designed for adequate support and alignment one requires in order to obtain the maximum out of your meditation experience. Remember that an ordinary chair will never work towards providing you the same ease as a meditation chair.
If you are about to purchase a meditation chair for yourself, there are certain things you need to take in to consideration. You need to focus on buying a meditation chair that has a slight forward angle, this will prevent you from slumping while you meditate. Also take care that the chair is not too steeply angled, too much of a steep angle will result in over-arching. A good meditation chair will not angle more than just a few inches. The best option for you would be to purchase a meditation chair that you can easily adjust as per your body weight, height and comfort level. Take advice from an experienced person in this field, if at all possible as this will make your purchase a good one.
If you are keen on practicing Zen meditation, then nothing would be better for you than a proper meditation chair. You can find the best meditation chairs online or a spiritual store, and with a little detailed research on your part. Try a few out and you will know which is just right for you!

The ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE!!
Many people mistakenly believe that meditation is a passive activity in which a person simply empties their mind of all thoughts, and sits doing nothing but mindless breathing exercises. While this may be how some people practice meditation, it is not meditation in the true sense. Meditation is never a passive activity. Of course, in order to enter a true meditative state, you must quiet your conscious or objective mind, but this is done for a distinct purpose. And, there are techniques which actively quiet the objective mind. These are not used to put a person into a mindless state, however, they are done to help the practitioner contact their higher mind. This is often referred to as entering the silence. However, it is what one does when they enter the silence that determines whether one is meditating, or simply entering a mindless, hypnotic trance.
True meditation happens when we enter the silence and then attempt conscious awareness, without reengaging the objective mind. This is difficult to do. However, there are techniques that even a beginner can use to increase their awareness when they enter the silence, without waking up the objective mind. One good technique is to use a mantra or prayer that is short enough to remember, so that it can be repeated slowly in your mind. For example, if you are a Christian, you could repeat the phrase “no longer I, but Christ who lives within me.” As you repeat the phrase, say each word slowly, trying as best as you can to feel the meaning and significance of each word. Link your mind, or thoughts, to your heart, or emotions. Then, try to visualize what each word means, again linking a feeling to the picture you create in your mind. Don’t worry if you struggle with visualization; many people, (myself included), struggle with it. Do not let that be a barrier, continue practicing visualizing, and linking your thoughts with your feelings.
After you complete your meditation, journal the experience, and reflect on it critically, but without judgment. Ask yourself questions, and see if any insights emerge. Whatever you discover, write them down.
And lastly, be normal. Do not imagine you are special because you are practicing meditation. You are special because you are a child of God, but then again we all are, so that is nothing to boast about. Always approach meditation with a sense of humility, love, gratitude, and praise. If you do this, you will truly meditate and your life will be abundantly blessed.
As you can see, meditation is an active practice, designed to quiet the objective mind, and bring you into contact with the Divine Mind, The Power of the Spirit.
Yes, it might feel great to win the lottery. Money, houses, travel – these are wonderful, but not enough by themselves. You need the right frame of mind to fully enjoy life. You need the attitude of gratitude.
Be Grateful
Life is better when you feel blessed, when you can look around and say “Thank you, God.” Religious or not, when you see life as a wonderful gift, your experience is a richer one than any amount of money can provide. Imagine going through life like you’re a child, and every morning is Christmas.
It’s tempting to think gratitude comes from having what you want. You see yourself giving thanks if you had money, a loving family, and maybe a house on the beach. Still, you know there are ungrateful, unhappy people with these things, and poor people full of gratitude for what little they have. Where does this feeling come from?
Creating Gratitude
Gratitude arises from how you look at things. It is the natural feeling that comes from truly appreciating the people and things in your life. It is also something you can learn.
First, you have to stop and smell the roses. You can’t be thankful for something you don’t notice or enjoy. Roses really do smell great, by the way.
Then, you need to make this appreciative approach to roses and life a habit. There’s no need to ignore the ugliness in the world, but you have to habitually see the beautiful things.
Start writing down every positive thing that happens to you, and all the things you like. Do this until you start automatically seeing the good things in life. If you’ve ever bought a white car, and started seeing white cars all over, you know how awareness can alter your perception of reality. To see wonderful things all over, train yourself to look for them.
When you are in the habit of “counting your blessings,” gratitude, and a much richer experience of life is the natural result.
In its simplest form Prayer is speaking with God/Spirit/Universe and Meditation is listening to God/Spirit/Universe. The Universe works on the principle that you ASK and it is GIVEN. So prayer is a time for asking, whether for yourself or for others. It is also a time for praise & thanksgiving, which is also called appreciation & gratitude. Here you are giving thanks and/or marveling at the wonder of your fabulous life. It is energy directed out of you. You can speak your prayers aloud or silently in your mind. It doesn’t matter to the God/Spirit/Universe.
Meditation is the listening part. You see, G/S/U speaks to us through intuition. We need to have good inner listening, which gets clearer when you meditate. Now, listening is a relatively passive activity and is not embraced nor encouraged by your ego/conscious mind. So the goal is to quiet your mind and get it to go away. You want to empty your mind of thoughts. This is energy directed in you. When your mind is empty, that is when God/Spirit/Universe can speak to you.
So that’s the bare bones of the two. Both expand as your practice them. But here are some suggestions for success in each:
Prayer: Keep a prayer journal. This helps you to see what has come to pass that you have prayed for. If you wrote a list of the 5 favorite things in your life right now, you’d realize they were all prayers of yours, not so long ago. Therefore you know prayers are answered. So will be the ones you are praying now.
Meditation: Set yourself up for success by turning off the TV and the phone first.Find a very comfortable spot and set an alarm that beeps to let you know you are finished.
Exercising and maintaining an attitude of gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to incorporate the Law of Attraction into your life. As we know, the Law of Attraction is a universal law. It can be described in the phrase “like attracts like.” Because of the Law of Attraction, you will attract similar thoughts to the ones that you are thinking. Whether those thoughts are negative or positive, they will attract the same types of thoughts.
The attitude of gratitude seems like such a simple phrase, but the powers that are represented by that simple phrase can bring a multitude of things to the person who knows how to use those powers along with the Law of Attraction. Many times a person will try to use this law to benefit their life. Perhaps they are searching for meaning, or maybe they want to improve their finances. Let’s say this person starts to repeat affirmations aloud every day, twice a day. This person also tries meditation and they might even make a list of goals. But for some reason, this person doesn’t feel as if their efforts are working.
This is where the attitude of gratitude comes in. Sometimes, for different reasons, no matter how much a person tries to do the right things; they still have a negative mindset, even if they repeat positive phrases over and over. No amount of repetition is going to work if you have a negative mindset while doing the repetitions. This is exactly when the attitude of gratitude is needed most. Having an attitude of gratitude puts your mind on a more positive track. The attitude of gratitude gets you into the mindset and frequency that you need in order to receive the things that you are trying to get by using affirmations and meditation.
Even if a person makes a list of goals that they want to accomplish, if they are stuck in a negative mindset, the goals will not end up in them receiving what they want. By implementing an attitude of gratitude, they can break the cycle of negativity and start to operate on a positive vibration that will allow them to turn their desires into a reality.
Examples of ways to incorporate an attitude of gratitude within yourself include expressing gratitude for everything that you have. When you wake up in the morning, express your gratitude. Say thank you out loud for your bed, for your room for the food that you eat, and for the water that comes out of your tap.
Express gratitude for everything that you have, and while you do so, feel the happy and warm feelings that come with having gratitude. This is the way to get on the right track in order for your subconscious mind to be able to receive the things that you have been wanting and trying to receive through other techniques. Utilizing an attitude of gratitude in your daily life is the best way to make sure that you are on the right wavelength to receive everything that the universe sends to you.

Healing For Mother Earth
The Meditation of Heaven and Earth
The instructions that follow are simplified so that anyone can do this.
You can be living anywhere on Earth. Just find a quiet place and sit comfortably, on the Earth itself if possible, and close your eyes.
Begin to breathe rhythmically and evenly — meaning that you inhale in the same amount of time that you exhale. Relax, and let your everyday thoughts go. Just simply follow your breath.
In your inner vision, see a beautiful scene from nature. Whatever you see as beautiful, whether it is in the mountains, the desert, the ocean — it doesn’t matter. If it is the mountains, for example, you might see their peaks covered with snow. You might picture rivers, trees, and the animals, and see white, billowing clouds in the sky. Breathe in the clean, fresh mountain air. Do something similar with whatever place you have chosen that is dear to your heart. And in your heart, feel the love that you have for nature and for Mother Earth. Allow this love to become strong until your very body feels this love.
Then take this love that you have for Mother Earth and place it in a little ball — perhaps two inches across — and with your intention send this little ball filled with your love down to the center of the Earth. You send it with the intention that Mother Earth feels the love that you have for Her. And then you wait.
You wait for Mother Earth to send Her love back to you. She always will, as you are Her child. Some people experience it immediately and for others it takes a little while. It is a very real experience. It is not an intellectual thing. It is not you saying to yourself, ”I am now feeling Mother Earth’s love.” When Mother Earth’s love returns to you, it will be as sweet as the time that your own mother looked into your eyes when you were a baby. Feel this love, and let it move all through your body. Let it move through every cell in your body. Let it move even into your Light Body, and all that you are. And for a time — as long as you wish — simply stay in this connected love, with yourself in the arms of the Divine Mother.
When the time seems right, and without breaking the connection with the Divine Mother, turn your attention to the Divine Father, who is the rest of creation other than the Earth.
In your inner vision, see a night sky filled with the multitude of stars of the Milky Way. See the planets, the sun (which would have to be over the horizon), and the moon. See the beauty of Creation, and feel the love that you have for the Divine Father. Allow this love to grow stronger until you are ready to burst with tears of love.
And then, just as with the Mother, gather this love and put it into a little ball, and with your intention send it into the Heavens. Either send it to the sacred grids around the Earth, if you understand them, or send it to the Central Sun, if you understand what that means. Or — which is what most indigenous people do — send it to our own sun. It is your intention that matters. And then you wait.
As with the Mother, you wait until the Father sends His love back to you. He always will, as you are His son. When you feel this love return to you, let it move throughout your body and to all your cells. Let it move even into your Light Body and all that you are. Again, you can stay in this love with the Father as long as you wish.
Realize that at this moment you are in love with the Divine Mother and Father at the same time. This is extremely rare, for a human being to experience this. And realize even further that the Holy Trinity is now being manifest on Earth. The Divine Mother, the Divine Father, and you — the Divine Child — are all bound by Love in a Holy Triangle.
According to Sri Yukteswar, it is only from this sacred place of the Holy Trinity that the Creator can be seen so clearly and experienced so directly.
Now, without breaking the bonds of love between your Divine Parents, simply allow the presence of God to be experienced directly. Allow God to come within your body as well as all around you. What happens now is between you and God. Trust yourself, as you are a Child of God. Believe in yourself, as you are one with the Source.
From this point on, there are no words.
May this meditation be a blessing in your life and to all those you touch.
