Dragon's blood is a crimson resin from wounded trees (primarily Croton lechleri and Dracaena species) used for 5,000 years as a wound sealant and protective barrier. In sound healing, it addresses energetic depletion—when you've been too open, too available, and your edges have worn thin. The resin's protective compounds integrate at the molecular level during bowl formation, creating vibration patterns that help rebuild boundaries while keeping the heart engaged. It's for compassion that doesn't hemorrhage.
This bowl serves empaths, caregivers, therapists, and anyone recovering from periods of overgiving or emotional overwhelm. Teachers reach for it before challenging classes, athletes use it for pre-competition centering, and counselors play it between client sessions to clear absorbed energy. It's also valuable for business owners creating protected space for focused work, or anyone navigating transitions where maintaining boundaries feels difficult. The bowl supports people who need to stay tender without becoming depleted.
Most heart chakra bowls focus on opening and expansion—rose quartz softens, ruby activates, green aventurine invites flow. Dragon's blood does something different: it fortifies. This F-note bowl resonates with the heart while grounding into the pelvis and lower body, creating what people describe as "love with a perimeter." It's not for initial heart opening; it's for when you've been open too long and need to remember where you end and others begin. Choose this when softness has become a liability.
Yes—dragon's blood functions as energetic first aid after intense sessions, confrontations, or periods where you absorbed more than you should have. The resin's traditional use as a hemostatic (stops bleeding) translates to sound healing as sealing what's been left too open. Practitioners report feeling both tender and boundaried after playing this bowl—able to process what happened without continuing to leak energy. It's particularly effective for therapists, bodyworkers, or anyone whose work involves holding space for others' pain without a recovery protocol.
This bowl's frequency sits below concert pitch in our Grounding range, producing a warmer, more organic quality with gentle settling energy. Combined with dragon's blood's protective properties, the lower frequency anchors the heart's openness into the body's foundation—pelvis, hips, lower spine—rather than floating in the chest. This makes it especially effective for shadow work, post-trauma integration, or moments when you need stability more than inspiration. The bowl also aligns with A=432 Hz instruments, reinforcing the grounded, natural tuning many find easier on overstimulated nervous systems.
Each bowl includes a pure quartz mallet wrapped in premium silicone for optimal resonance, plus a silicone O-ring for stable playing on hard surfaces. The one-piece construction eliminates weak points, creating an instrument built to last lifetimes of boundary-setting work.
