ESSENCE

I am the one who arrives when you've forgotten what a full breath feels like. Not dramatic. Not urgent. I settle into your chest like walking into a pine forest after rain—woody, resinous, faintly medicinal. When your breath has gone shallow from a world that moves too fast, I don't force anything open. I create conditions. Your body knows how to breathe deeply. Let me help you remember.

THE ELEMENT

CFC brings together seven botanical allies—lavender, eucalyptus, camphor, caraway, palmarosa, golden rod, and pine scotch—blended with spring water, fluorite mineral water. Each plant carries centuries of traditional use for respiratory support: eucalyptus from Australian healing traditions, lavender from Mediterranean herbalism, pine from European forest medicine. Fluorite, a cubic crystal prized for mental clarity, adds mineral structure to this aromatic symphony.

When these elements are infused during Divine Bowls' proprietary molding process, they integrate at the molecular level—not as surface decoration, but as part of the quartz's microstructure itself. Even as volatile compounds transform at over 3,000°F, their structural imprint remains. That resulting microstructure is what vibrates when you strike the bowl, producing resonance patterns unique to this specific blend.

The name tells a story: born from a mother's love, created to support gentle breathing. Working with this bowl, you may notice the scent memory of forest and field rising through the tone—woody, green, quietly medicinal. The blend invites your lungs to soften, your chest to open, your breath to find its natural depth without force or striving.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in E at 325 Hz, resonating with the solar plexus chakra in the Western diatonic system. The E frequency carries the energetic quality of empowerment, clarity, and will—vibrating through your torso, chest cavity, heart, lungs, and diaphragm. In the Cycle of Fifths system, this frequency also connects to the third eye, bridging body wisdom with mental clarity.

When CFC's respiratory-supporting botanicals meet this mid-body frequency, something practical emerges: sound that targets exactly where most people hold breath tension. The 325 Hz vibration moves through the chest cavity and diaphragm, while the aromatic infusion's traditional associations with open airways create a unified invitation. People often describe feeling their breath deepen naturally, without conscious effort—the bowl doing its work while they simply listen.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 325 Hz. Using A=432 as reference, it plays E+7 cents—nearly a true tone E in this earth-connected tuning system. (Using A=440 as reference, this same frequency is E-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. (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 12 inches, this bowl produces third-octave tones with very long sustain—meaning one strike continues singing while you breathe through several cycles. The deep, penetrating volume fills large spaces effortlessly, making it ideal for group sound baths, classroom transitions, team meeting openings, or ceremonial gatherings. Yet it works equally well in intimate settings where you want sound that envelops rather than merely accompanies.

This size allows CFC's aromatic complexity to express with full-bodied richness—each botanical note given space to emerge. The third-octave resonance naturally targets the torso and chest, precisely where this respiratory-supporting blend does its work. For practitioners working with breath, teachers calming classrooms, or anyone seeking a bowl that fills a room with grounding presence, this size delivers.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when breath feels tight, when stress has crept into your chest, when you need to land back in your body after scattered days. You don't need training or technique—just willingness to listen.

Place the bowl before you on its O-ring, or hold it in your palm if you prefer. Strike once and let the tone wash through your chest. Notice where it lands in your body. Breathe into that place. You might find your exhale naturally lengthening, your shoulders dropping, your jaw releasing. This bowl works beautifully at the start of a workday to clear mental fog, before difficult conversations when you need grounded presence, during classroom transitions when young nervous systems need settling, or in the evening when the day's tension has accumulated in your ribcage. Parents find it helpful for children who breathe shallowly at bedtime. Athletes use it to open the chest before competition. There's no wrong way—only your way.

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 bowl that meets you in your lungs first.

When breath has gone shallow—from the meeting that ran long, the inbox that never empties, the classroom that needs you steady, the presentation tomorrow, the grief that sits in your chest, the child who can't settle at bedtime—this is the sound that says: Exhale. All the way out. The ground is still here.

CFC doesn't ask you to transcend your body. It asks you to land back in it. To feel your sit bones, your feet, the reliable animal fact of your breathing. Teachers use it for classroom transitions. Athletes for pre-game centering. Parents for bedtime. Business owners before the hard conversation. Anyone who's forgotten that a full breath is medicine.

Not every bowl finds every person. But if you've read this far, and your chest just took a deeper breath without you deciding to—that's the bowl recognizing you back.
