ESSENCE

I am the one who came from fire and landed in glass. When your mind loops or your intuition feels muffled, I create conditions for untangling. I don't generate energy—I clarify it. Think of me as the friend who sits with you in silence and somehow, by the end, you've figured out what you needed to say.

THE ELEMENT

Andara is a glass-like material first discovered in 1967 near Mount Shasta, California, when a Choctaw medicine woman named Nellie Thompson found seafoam-colored specimens glinting in the soil and recognized something worth paying attention to. Composed primarily of soda-lime glass—silica fused with sodium and calcium oxides—Andara forms an amorphous structure with a smooth, vitreous surface and hardness around 5.5 on the Mohs scale. Its colors emerge from trace elements present during formation: iron, aluminum, chromium creating blues, greens, golds, and purples.

What makes Andara distinctive isn't settled science—it's lived experience. Lab analyses confirm industrial glass composition, yet practitioners consistently report heightened clarity, subtle pressure at the crown or third eye, and a sense of mental "untangling" when working with it. Both can be true. When Andara is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its unique molecular structure becomes part of what vibrates—not a surface coating, but an integration at the atomic level. That resulting microstructure produces resonance patterns you won't hear from any other instrument.

In contemporary wellness, Andara has found its place as a clarifying presence. People reach for it during meditation, sound sessions, or any moment requiring trust in subtle perception. It pairs naturally with quartz singing bowls because it doesn't compete—it enhances. The element rides the sound waves, amplifying what's already moving through you. When you work with Andara, you're invited to pause, attune, and trust your inner compass. It asks: what would it feel like to stop second-guessing?

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in F at 349 Hz, resonating with the heart chakra in the Western diatonic system. The F frequency carries the energetic quality of compassion and balance, vibrating through your pelvis, hips, and lower spine—the body's foundational connection to earth. This creates an interesting pairing: heart-centered energy grounded through the body's base.

When Andara's clarifying presence meets this frequency, something settles. The mental realm—where Andara does its finest work—finds an anchor in the physical. People often notice their thoughts quieting while their body feels more present, more here. The heart frequency opens; the lower body grounds. You receive clarity that doesn't float away.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 349 Hz. Using A=440 as reference—the universal standard for modern instruments—it plays F+0, a perfect concert pitch F. Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is F+30.

This bowl is categorized as Concert Pitch because its frequency falls within ±10 cents of A=440. Like a piano tuned to concert pitch, this bowl will sound in tune when played alongside guitars, keyboards, orchestras, or any instrument using standard tuning. If you're a musician wanting your bowl to blend with recorded music, or if you play with others, this compatibility makes integration effortless. The technical specifications include an A=432 equivalent so those with instruments tuned to that reference know exactly how this bowl fits their setup.

(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 9 inches, this bowl produces third-octave tones with long, generous sustain—meaning each strike or rim-play continues singing, filling space without requiring constant attention. The full, rich volume makes it ideal for group settings: yoga classes, team meetings, family gatherings, or any room where sound needs to reach everyone present.

This size allows Andara's clarifying quality to express with presence and authority. The lower-octave resonance naturally targets the body's foundation—pelvis, hips, sitting bones—while the heart frequency works the emotional center. You get grounding and opening simultaneously. For home use, it becomes a room-defining presence; for professional settings, it projects without overwhelming; for classrooms or offices, it commands attention then releases it into stillness.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when your mind won't stop looping, when you've lost the thread of your own knowing, or when you need to trust what you perceive beyond the obvious. It serves the writer staring at a blank page, the executive preparing for a difficult conversation, the student whose thoughts scatter before an exam, the parent who needs three minutes of quiet before the household wakes.

Begin simply. Strike the bowl once and close your eyes. Notice where the sound lands in your body—many people feel it in the chest and lower belly simultaneously. Let your breath slow to match the sustain. You might notice a subtle pressure at the crown of your head or behind your eyes; this is Andara's signature. Don't chase insight. Just listen. By the time the tone fades, something often clarifies on its own. Use it to open meetings, close yoga classes, transition classrooms between subjects, or mark the boundary between work-self and home-self at day's end. Place it near your desk during deep work. Play it before creative sessions. There's no wrong way—only your way, discovered through practice.

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 thinking about this bowl longer than you planned to. That's the first sign.

Andara doesn't shout. It hums—high and clear, the kind of frequency that finds the space behind your third eye and says, What if you already know? This bowl pairs that clarifying presence with F at 349 Hz, heart frequency grounded through your pelvis and hips. Mental fog meets physical anchor. The thoughts that loop finally settle. The knowing you've been second-guessing comes into focus.

Maybe you're the teacher who needs thirty seconds of stillness before twenty-five voices fill the room. The writer staring at the blank page. The executive centering before the hard conversation. The parent stealing three minutes before the house wakes. The student whose mind scatters before exams. Whoever you are, this bowl doesn't ask for credentials—it asks if you're ready to trust what you perceive.

At 9 inches, it fills space without demanding attention. Concert pitch means it plays well with others—or stands alone. The sustain is long enough that you can strike it once, close your eyes, and let your breath slow to match the fade.

Not every bowl finds every person. But if you're still here, if something about mental clarity meeting heart-centered grounding feels like the conversation you've been trying to have with yourself—that's worth trusting.
