This Pure Epsom crystal singing bowl sounds in F at 348 Hz, resonating with the heart chakra and creating a bridge between emotional openness and physical grounding. Epsom salt—magnesium sulfate drawn from mineral springs—supports muscle release, nervous system regulation, and the gentle letting go of what the body has been holding. When heart frequency meets this mineral of dissolution, the experience is softening that moves through the entire system: emotional ease expressed as physical relief.

BEST FOR

• Muscle tension release and post-workout recovery
• Executives and athletes releasing physical stress before or after performance
• Sound healers supporting clients through burnout and exhaustion
• Students unwinding after exams or intense study periods
• Evening wind-down rituals and preparing for restful sleep
• Caregivers needing their own moment of physical and emotional reset
• Creating calm for overstimulated children at bedtime

ESSENCE

I am the salt that knows how to let go. When your shoulders have crept toward your ears, when your jaw holds conversations you never spoke, when your body has become a ledger of everything you've carried—I am the sound that says: you can put it down now. This bowl holds the mineral of dissolution crystallized within quartz, singing at the frequency of the heart. Not to add anything, but to make space. Come as you are, tight and aching. Let the sound hold you while I do my work.

THE ELEMENT

Epsom salt is pure magnesium sulfate, a mineral compound first discovered in the natural springs of Epsom, England around 1618. The story goes that a cowherd noticed his cattle refused the bitter water, yet wounds that touched it began to heal. What he found was a crystalline substance holding seven molecules of water in each lattice—a geometry of dissolution that has supported human wellness for over four centuries. The mineral forms naturally as crusts and encrustations where mineral-rich waters evaporate, appearing as white or colorless crystals with a distinctly bitter taste.

In Divine Bowls' proprietary infusion process, epsom salt integrates at the molecular level during formation—not as a surface coating, but as part of the quartz's internal structure. This creates a unique microstructure that becomes what vibrates when the bowl sings. The mineral's signature of release and softening is woven into every frequency the bowl produces, which is why people often describe this bowl's tone as having a quality of yielding—sound that seems to invite the body to unclench.

Traditionally, epsom salt has been used in baths, compresses, and soaks for muscle ease and physical recovery. In folk healing traditions, bitter mineral springs were visited for ritual cleansing and release—both physical and emotional. Contemporary wellness continues this lineage: float tanks, foot baths, and post-exertion soaks all draw on magnesium sulfate's reputation for helping the body let go of what it's been gripping. When you work with this bowl, you're working with that same invitation—not to force change, but to create conditions where release becomes possible.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in F at 348 Hz, resonating with the heart chakra in the Western diatonic system. The F frequency carries the energetic quality of compassion, balance, and emotional openness, vibrating through your chest, lungs, and the space around your heart. Yet this is a third-octave tone, which means its resonance also travels downward—through the pelvis, hips, and sitting bones, creating a grounding anchor for heart-centered work.

When epsom salt's quality of physical release meets the heart frequency, something interesting happens: emotional softening expresses through the body. The tight shoulders that hold unspoken words, the clenched jaw that guards against vulnerability, the low back that carries the weight of responsibility—all become available for release. People often notice this bowl creates a sense of heaviness first, then lightness, as if the sound gives permission to feel the weight before letting it go.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 348 Hz. Using A=440 as reference—the universal standard for modern instruments—it plays F-5 cents. (Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is F+29 cents.)

This bowl is categorized as Concert Pitch because its frequency falls within ±10 cents of A=440. Like a piano tuned to concert pitch, this bowl will sound in tune when played alongside guitars, keyboards, recorded music, or any instrument using standard tuning. For musicians, teachers using classroom instruments, or anyone who wants their bowl to blend seamlessly with other sounds in their environment, this compatibility makes integration effortless.

(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 third-octave tones with long, generous sustain—sound that continues to unfold and develop after the initial strike, filling a room without overwhelming it. The full, rich volume makes it versatile: intimate enough for personal morning rituals or bedside use, yet substantial enough for yoga studios, therapy rooms, or team meeting spaces. This size allows epsom salt's quality of gradual release to express fully—the sound doesn't rush, and neither does the unwinding it supports. The lower-octave resonance naturally targets the lower body and foundational structures, creating that characteristic sense of grounding even while the heart frequency opens the chest.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when your body is speaking louder than your mind—when tension has accumulated in your shoulders, your hips feel locked, or you notice you've been holding your breath. It's equally valuable after physical exertion (a workout, a long day on your feet, hours at a desk) and after emotional exertion (difficult conversations, caregiving, high-stakes presentations). The bowl doesn't distinguish between physical and emotional holding; it addresses both through the same invitation to soften.

To begin, simply play the bowl and breathe. You don't need technique or training—just attention. Notice where the sound seems to land in your body. Some people feel it immediately in their chest; others notice their jaw unclenching or their shoulders dropping. Let the long sustain do its work; you don't need to play continuously. One clear tone, followed by listening, followed by another when you're ready. If you're using this bowl with others—children at bedtime, a team before a meeting, students transitioning between activities—the same simplicity applies. The sound creates conditions; the people do the rest.

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 presentation. The evening after the hard conversation. The moment when your shoulders have migrated to your ears and your jaw is writing a dissertation you'll never speak aloud. This bowl doesn't ask you to be spiritual about it. It asks: where are you holding what you haven't said?

Epsom salt knows the body's ledger—every unspoken word living in your trapezius, every swallowed response tightening your low back, every breath you didn't take settling into your hips. When that mineral of dissolution meets the heart frequency at 348 Hz, something shifts: emotional softening expresses as physical relief. The sound doesn't force release. It creates conditions. Permission. Space to unclench.

This is the bowl for the executive who needs three minutes of nothing before the board meeting. The teacher whose classroom needs transition more than instruction. The parent at bedtime when everyone's wound too tight. The athlete between performance and rest. The human who's been carrying too much for too long and just needs something—anything—to say: you can put it down now.
