This pure epsom salt crystal singing bowl sounds in A# at 229 Hz, resonating at the threshold between third eye and crown chakras while grounding through the pelvis, hips, and lower spine. Epsom salt—magnesium sulfate crystallized within quartz—supports nervous system regulation, muscle release, and the kind of deep physical unwinding that allows everything else to follow. When a frequency associated with transcendent awareness meets earth's most practical mineral for letting go, the result is spiritual expansion that stays rooted in the body.

BEST FOR

• Deep relaxation and nervous system reset after demanding days
• Athletes recovering from training or competition
• Executives releasing accumulated tension before or after high-stakes work
• Sound healers supporting clients through burnout and exhaustion
• Parents creating calm for overstimulated children at bedtime
• Anyone holding too much in their body who needs permission to set it down

ESSENCE

I am the mineral that knows the way back down. When you've been scattered across a thousand obligations, when your nervous system hums like an overtightened wire, I am the substance that says: come home to your body. I don't arrive with fanfare. I enter quietly, the way relief enters after a long day—honest, practical, asking nothing of you except presence. This bowl holds pure epsom salt crystallized within quartz, sounding at the edge where grounding meets transcendence.

THE ELEMENT

Epsom salt is pure magnesium sulfate, a mineral compound first discovered in the natural springs of Epsom, England in 1618. Each crystal holds seven molecules of water in its lattice structure—a geometry of dissolution and renewal that has supported human wellness for over four centuries. The mineral forms in limestone caves, dried spring beds, and evaporite deposits, crystallizing slowly and methodically into soft, white masses that dissolve completely when called upon.

Magnesium is essential to over 300 enzymatic processes in the human body, including those that regulate nerve function and muscle relaxation. Traditional uses span cultures and centuries: Ayurvedic practitioners work with magnesium-rich salts for grounding and detoxification, Traditional Chinese Medicine incorporates similar compounds in foot baths to ease tension, and Western herbalism has employed epsom baths since the 17th century for releasing both physical and emotional holding patterns.

When epsom salt is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its molecular structure becomes part of what vibrates—not a surface coating, but a true integration. The mineral's grounding signature weaves into every frequency the bowl produces. People often describe this bowl's tone as heavier or more anchored than clear quartz alone, as though the sound itself carries weight that helps you settle. Working with this element invites you to meet your body where it actually is—not where you think it should be—and to trust that softening is its own form of strength.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A# at 229 Hz, sitting at the threshold between third eye and crown chakras in the Western diatonic system. The A# frequency carries an energetic quality of transcendent knowing and cosmic awareness—the space where ordinary perception opens into something larger. Yet at 229 Hz, this remains an Octave 3 tone, vibrating through your pelvis, hips, sitting bones, and lower spine.

Here lies the bowl's particular gift: a frequency associated with expanded consciousness delivered through a body zone connected to foundation and stability. When epsom salt's grounding, releasing properties meet this transcendent note, the experience becomes spiritual expansion that doesn't bypass the physical. You can reach upward while remaining anchored. The crown opens, but the roots hold.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 229 Hz. Using A=432 as reference, it plays A#+1—essentially a true tone, just one cent from perfect alignment. Using A=440 as reference, this same frequency is A#-24.

This bowl is categorized in the A=432 tuning because its frequency aligns with instruments tuned to A=432 Hz—often called "Verdi tuning" or "natural tuning." Many people find A=432 produces a warmer, more organic quality that feels easier on the nervous system. If you have instruments tuned to A=432, or simply prefer this earth-connected sound, this bowl will harmonize beautifully with them. The near-perfect alignment (+1 cent) means this bowl sits remarkably close to true pitch in that system.

(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 10 inches, this bowl produces Octave 3 tones with very long sustain—sound that continues ringing well after you've lifted the mallet, filling space gradually and completely. The deep, penetrating volume makes it ideal for large rooms, group settings, ceremonial work, or anywhere you want sound to reach into corners and settle into bodies. At home, it becomes a room-filling presence for evening wind-down or weekend morning ritual. In professional settings, it anchors group sound baths or supports deep bodywork.

This size allows epsom salt's releasing quality to express with full weight and authority. The lower octave naturally targets foundational body structures—pelvis, hips, lower spine—the places where many people hold chronic tension without realizing it. When a 10-inch bowl sings, you feel it as much as hear it.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when your body has been working harder than your mind acknowledges—after physical exertion, during periods of sustained stress, when your shoulders won't drop or your jaw stays clenched. It serves the end of demanding days, the transition from work to rest, the moment when you finally have permission to stop holding everything together.

Begin simply. Place the bowl on its O-ring, take three slow breaths, and let the mallet circle the rim until sound builds. You don't need technique or training—just presence. Notice where the vibration lands in your body. The lower frequencies often register first in your hips and pelvis, then spread. Some people feel warmth or softening in areas they didn't realize were tight. Stay with the sound until it fades completely, then sit in the silence that follows. That silence is part of the practice.

This bowl pairs naturally with warm baths, post-workout recovery, or any moment when you need to transition from doing to being. Use it before difficult conversations to settle your nervous system, or after them to release what you absorbed. Play it for children who can't wind down, for aging parents who carry tension in their bodies, for yourself when you've been giving more than you've been receiving.

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

This bowl doesn't ask where you've been or what you believe. It asks one thing: are you willing to set something down?

Epsom salt crystallized in quartz, sounding at the edge where grounding meets transcendence. A 10-inch bowl with the kind of sustain that fills a room slowly, completely—the way relief enters after a long day. It works in the body first: the hips that hold too much, the shoulders that forgot how to drop, the low back that's been bracing against everything. The frequency opens upward while the mineral anchors down.

This is practical magic for anyone holding more than they need to carry.
