This Dragon's Blood Tree Resin crystal singing bowl sounds in A at 216 Hz, resonating with the Third Eye chakra and the deep body zone of pelvis, hips, and lower spine. Dragon's blood resin supports grounding, energetic protection, and the slow work of returning to the body after stress or disconnection. When this ancient tree sap—known across cultures for sealing wounds and creating boundaries—meets the foundational rumble of a third-octave A, the result is a vibrational container that says: the ground is here.

ESSENCE

I am the wound that knows how to close. When you've been too porous, too available, too undefended—when your nervous system hasn't received the memo that the crisis ended—I meet you at the root with the quiet authority of something older than your fear. This bowl holds the crimson resin that seeps from bark when life meets blade, then hardens into something unbreakable. I don't lift you into transcendence. I anchor you so completely that transcendence becomes possible later, with other allies.

THE ELEMENT

Dragon's blood is a bright red, viscous resin derived from the sap of wounded trees across several genera—including Dracaena from Socotra and the Canary Islands, Daemonorops rattan palms from Indonesia, and Croton species from the Amazon. When a tree is cut, this sap bleeds crimson, then hardens into brittle, garnet-red drops. The resin's chemical makeup features complex organic compounds including flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids—substances that scientific studies have confirmed possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties.

For over three thousand years, humans have reached for dragon's blood when protection and repair were needed. Ancient Chinese medicine used it as incense and remedy. Roman healers applied it to wounds, with Pliny the Elder documenting its astringent properties in 77 CE. Indigenous peoples of Peru and Ecuador still use Croton lechleri resin—called Sangre de Drago—topically for skin healing. The Guanche people of the Canary Islands incorporated it into mummification rituals. Across Tibetan and Eastern traditions, it appears in incense blends for purification and clearing stagnant energy.

When dragon's blood is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its molecular structure becomes part of what vibrates—not a surface coating, but an integration at over 3,000°F. Even as the resin transforms at these temperatures, its structural imprint remains within the quartz, creating resonance patterns unique to this infusion. The result is a bowl that carries the resin's grounding signature in every frequency it produces. People often describe this tone as denser, more anchored—a sound that settles the room rather than lifting it.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A at 216 Hz, resonating with the Third Eye chakra in the Western diatonic system. The A frequency carries the energetic quality of intuition, wisdom, and vision, vibrating through your pelvis, hips, legs, and lower spine—the foundational zones where your body remembers it is animal, where survival instincts live before language can answer.

When dragon's blood's protective, boundary-creating essence meets this deep A tone, something particular happens: the frequency that governs inner sight anchors into the body's foundation. This isn't the Third Eye of floating visions—it's grounded knowing, intuition you can feel in your bones. The 216 Hz frequency is also mathematically significant as 6³ (6×6×6), creating a harmonic foundation that many find profoundly stabilizing.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 216 Hz. Using A=432 as reference, it plays A+0—a true tone A, perfectly aligned with this earth-connected tuning system. Using A=440 as reference, this same frequency is A-30 cents.

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 perfect A+0 alignment makes this bowl particularly valuable for those building A=432 collections or playing alongside other instruments in this tuning.

(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 third-octave tones with very long sustain—meaning each strike or rim-sung note continues resonating for extended periods, filling space without requiring constant playing. The deep, penetrating volume makes it ideal for large group settings, ceremonial use, yoga studios, and open-plan offices, while remaining powerful enough for personal practice in living rooms or bedrooms.

This size allows dragon's blood's grounding, protective essence to express with full authority—the resin's density meets the bowl's substantial presence. The third-octave resonance naturally targets the deep body and foundational zones, creating vibrations you feel in your sitting bones and lower spine rather than just hearing with your ears.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you need to come back into your body. After a day of scattered attention. Before a difficult conversation that requires you to know your edges. When your nervous system is still humming from stress that ended hours ago. When a child can't settle, or when you can't settle yourself.

Begin simply: place the bowl on a stable surface or hold it in your palm. Strike it once with the mallet and let the sound wash through you. Notice where you feel the vibration—likely your lower body, your seat, your connection to whatever surface holds you. You don't need to do anything with the sound except receive it. Breathe normally. Let the long sustain do its work of settling the room and settling your system. For deeper grounding, try playing the bowl while seated on the floor, allowing the vibrations to travel directly through your foundation.

This bowl works beautifully for meeting openings when a team needs to arrive fully present, for classroom transitions when students need to shift gears, for the pause between clients when a therapist needs to clear the previous session, for the athlete visualizing before competition, for the caregiver who gives all day and needs three minutes of being held by sound. There's no wrong way to work with it. The bowl creates conditions; you do the work of 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

You've been holding yourself together for so long that your body forgot what it feels like to be held.

This bowl doesn't ask you to transcend anything. It doesn't care if you've never played a singing bowl before, if you don't know your chakras, if "sound healing" isn't in your vocabulary. It just knows the particular exhaustion of a nervous system that won't stop scanning for danger even when the room is safe. The scattered feeling of too many browser tabs open in your mind. The way your shoulders live somewhere up near your ears now.

Dragon's blood at 216 Hz—a true A in the earth-connected tuning—sounds like the ground remembering to be solid beneath you. Like permission to stop bracing. It's for the teacher who needs the classroom to settle before the lesson starts. The executive centering before the board walks in. The parent who gives all day and needs three minutes of being the one who's held. The athlete's pre-game ritual. The 5am riser stealing quiet before the house wakes. Anyone who needs to come back into their body and remember: I belong here. The earth has me.

This one might be yours.
