Many people have contacted us regarding the use of singing bowl for healing work. The most common questions have been, ‘Can I use a singing bowl to heal?’, ‘Which note is related to a particular chakra?’ and, ‘Which of your singing bowls plays the correct note for my desired chakra?’ In fact, they are questions we get so frequently that I thought it would be a good idea to share the answers with a wider audience!
Can I use a singing bowl for healing work?
Absolutely! Singing bowls have been around for centuries and used for healing work for much of this time. And today, even those practising ‘modern’ healing techniques use the bowls alongside their treatments; We have provided many bowls to the National Health Service within the UK for this purpose. In relation to chakra work, it is believed that the pure tones created by the vibrations from the singing bowl penetrate through the body to stimulate the chakra that corresponds with the note associated with that bowl.
Which notes relate to each chakra?
This is probably the most common question we are asked. Those using singing bowls will know that they need their singing bowl to play a particular note to stimulate the chakra they need to work upon. Hopefully, the table below will answer these questions.
| Chakra | Note | Colour | Location | Association |
| Root | C | Red | Base of Spine | Lymph system, skeleton system, prostate gland, bladder, lower extremities |
| Spleen | D | Orange | Sexual Organs | Reproductive system, sexual organs, lumbar plexus |
| Solar Plexis | E | Yellow | Naval Area | Solar plexus, muscular system, skin, large intestine, stomach, liver, eyes |
| Heart | F | Green | Heart | Heart, blood circulatory system, cardiac plexus, lungs and the entire chest area. |
| Throat | G | Blue | Throat | Throat and the neck, and the arms and the hands. |
| Third Eye | A | Indigo | Forehead | Pituitary gland, lower brain, left eye, ears, nose |
| Crown | B | Purple | Top of Head | Top of the head, the brain, and the entire nervous system |
Which Singing Bowl do I Need?
Finding a singing bowl tuned to the note you need for your desired chakra can be done in only one way…playing it! Although bowls of similar sizes are likely to have similar tuning, the handmade nature of singing bowls means that there are variations in the notes each bowl plays. As a rule, the larger the singing bowl the lower the note it produces. If you need a singing bowl tuned to a particular chakra then please contact us and we will find one for you and send you a quote.
