The G-tone of the throat and the light blue lotus
The 5th chakra, Vishuddha, is traditionally connected to the throat, to expression and to honest speech. The corresponding G-tone produces a clear, ringing vibration that you can feel most clearly in the neck area. The 20 centimetre bowl is made of pure quartz powder, with a 432 Hz fundamental frequency, and a light blue lotus motif on the outside accompanies the sound.
Package and accessories
The 1530 gram bowl comes with a mallet and a rubber stability ring. The rubber ring holds the bowl steady on a smooth table or carpet and helps to bring out its most beautiful, longest sustaining sound. With different mallet materials – rubber, leather or felt – you can draw various tone colours from the same bowl.
How to use it in daily life
Many people sound the G-tone bowl when they are preparing for an important conversation, a presentation or a difficult, honest sentence. The clear vibration helps you to find your own calm voice, and after a few minutes the words often shape themselves more easily. If you like to sing, you can use the sound of the bowl to tune in – after a few quiet breaths try to hum quietly together with the bowl.
Playing and handling
Lead the mallet around the outer edge with circular, even movements, slowly and with gentle pressure at first. As the sound builds, you may gently speed up, but the pressure should always remain kind. A difference of a few hertz from the stated pitch is completely normal. Never use a wooden mallet on a crystal bowl, as it may damage the surface.
Safety, storage, care
Never place anyone's head over the bowl, and do not strike it too loudly directly next to another person's ear. When using several bowls together, leave a comfortable distance between them. After use, wipe the bowl with a soft, dry cloth and store it in a dry, dust-free place, away from direct sunlight.
