CFC (Aromatic Respiratory Blend) combines lavender, eucalyptus, camphor, caraway, palmarosa, goldenrod, and Scotch pine—infused at the molecular level during quartz formation. Unlike surface aromatics, these compounds create a microstructure within the crystal that vibrates when played, producing what people describe as coolness across the chest and warmth between the shoulder blades. Practitioners use it for releasing shallow breathing patterns caused by anxiety, grief, or emotional holding—not acute respiratory issues, but the chronic tightness of unspoken words.
Parents creating bedtime routines for restless sleepers, teachers transitioning classrooms from high energy to focus, and anyone recovering from illness who wants gentle respiratory support without medical intervention. Athletes use it during recovery when the body needs permission to release rather than perform. People who wake with chest tightness or spend days swallowing words find the bowl creates conditions for finally exhaling fully. The 8-inch size is portable enough for therapy offices, living rooms, or conference rooms where three minutes of intentional sound can shift a space.
CFC's aromatic compounds integrate into the quartz at over 3,000°F during formation—not as surface scent, but as molecular structure that vibrates when the bowl sings. The sound waves carry the energetic imprint of each herb directly into the body, bypassing the olfactory system entirely. While diffusers disperse scent into air, this bowl transmits vibrational frequencies through bone conduction and tissue resonance. Practitioners report the experience feels internal—coolness in the chest cavity, warmth along the spine—rather than external inhalation. The aromatics and sound work as one integrated frequency.
The F# note at 360 Hz sits in the grounding range, anchoring through the torso and core, while eucalyptus and pine naturally carry upward energy like their source trees reaching skyward. That tension—downward frequency meeting upward essence—creates the conditions where breath finds its natural rhythm. Your exhale grows longer than your inhale without effort. Practitioners use this paradox intentionally: when someone is stuck in shallow chest breathing or holding emotions high in the body, the bowl doesn't force release—it creates space where settling and rising happen simultaneously, and breath remembers its full range.
This bowl's 360 Hz frequency places it in the grounding range—below concert pitch with a warmer, more organic quality that invites settling rather than striving. When CFC's respiratory support meets this deeper resonance, the experience becomes embodied: the sound doesn't float above you, it moves through your chest cavity and diaphragm. Practitioners working with breath release, grief processing, or bedtime rituals prefer grounding frequencies because they create safety for letting go. If you're building a collection, grounding bowls anchor higher-pitched instruments; if this is your first bowl, the frequency makes it forgiving for beginners—easier on the nervous system than brighter tones.
The CFC infusion is permanent—integrated at the molecular level during formation at over 3,000°F, not applied as a coating. The bowl is waterproof, temperature-stable, and sunlight-safe. Clean with water and mild soap; the seamless one-piece construction means no weak points or seams where moisture could penetrate. The aromatic compounds won't fade, evaporate, or wash away—they're part of the quartz structure itself. Store on the included silicone O-ring to protect surfaces during play. The bowl is built to last lifetimes of use, whether that's daily breathwork sessions or occasional bedtime rituals.
