ESSENCE

I am the wound that learned to close. When you have given too much, stayed open too long, let yourself leak life force through invisible cuts—I am the resin that says enough. I don't soften what needs to harden. I don't open what needs to seal. This bowl holds the blood of ancient trees, transformed from vulnerability into armor, sounding at the frequency of clear sight. I will stand with you while you choose differently.

THE ELEMENT

Dragon's blood is a bright crimson resin that forms when certain trees are wounded—the sap wells up, meets air, and hardens into something new. This isn't a single plant but a family of them: Dracaena dragon trees from the Canary Islands and Socotra, Croton species from the Amazon, rattan palms from Indonesia. What unites them is this same alchemy—vulnerability made visible, then made shield.

Humans have reached for this resin since antiquity. The Guanche people of the Canary Islands used it in mummification rites. Medieval herbals prescribed it as an astringent for wounds and bleeding. Amazonian healers applied sangre de drago to cuts both physical and energetic. Violin makers prized it for varnish; printers used it in photoengraving. Everywhere it traveled, dragon's blood was called for the same work: to stop what was leaking, to seal what was open, to create a boundary where none existed.

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 the deepest level. The resin's protective signature is woven into every frequency the bowl produces. People often describe this bowl's tone as having unusual presence—a sound that feels like it means something, that carries weight and intention. When you work with this element, you're working with thousands of years of human wisdom about what it takes to heal: sometimes you need to open, and sometimes you need to close.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in A at 440 Hz, resonating with the Third Eye chakra in the Western diatonic system. The A frequency carries the energetic quality of intuition, wisdom, and clear vision—the ability to see what is, not what you wish were true. This vibration moves through your torso, chest cavity, and core, where you hold the patterns of giving and receiving, protecting and releasing.

When dragon's blood's fierce protective energy meets this frequency of clear sight, something specific happens: you can finally see where you've been wounded and find the will to let that wound close. The combination supports the moment when you stop making excuses for what's been taking from you and start building something different.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 440 Hz. Using A=440 as reference—the universal standard for modern instruments—it plays A+0. (Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is A+32.)

This bowl is categorized as Concert Pitch because its frequency falls exactly at A=440—the tuning standard for orchestras, pianos, guitars, and virtually all modern instruments worldwide. If you play alongside other musicians, use recorded music in your sessions, or want your bowl to blend seamlessly with any instrument using standard tuning, this bowl offers perfect compatibility. It's also the reference point from which all other tunings are measured, making it a foundational instrument for any collection.

(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 6 inches, this bowl produces fourth-octave tones with short to medium sustain—meaning the sound speaks clearly, delivers its message, and releases rather than lingering indefinitely. The intimate volume makes it ideal for personal practice, close bodywork, bedside rituals, or any space where you want potent sound without overwhelming presence. This size travels well, fits easily on a desk or nightstand, and works beautifully for one-on-one sessions or private moments.

The compact size allows dragon's blood's direct, unflinching energy to express with concentrated intensity—nothing diffused, nothing diluted. The fourth-octave resonance naturally targets the upper body and head, supporting the Third Eye's work of seeing clearly while the element does its work of sealing and protecting.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you feel porous. When something has taken too much—a relationship, a pattern, a version of yourself you've outgrown. When you're tired of being available to everyone else's needs while your own energy leaks away. You don't need to name it as "boundary work." You might just feel raw, exposed, exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix.

Begin simply. Place the bowl before you or hold it in your lap. Before you play, take one breath and ask yourself: What am I ready to let close? You don't need an answer—just the question. Then let the mallet circle the rim. Notice where the sound lands in your body. Notice what rises. Dragon's blood doesn't make this comfortable; it makes it possible. You might feel anger you've been avoiding, or clarity about something you've been pretending not to see. Let the sound hold you while you feel it. This bowl is particularly powerful for post-therapy integration, for the drive home after visiting a difficult family member, for the moment you finally decide to stop answering that text. It works well at the end of a workday to clear what you've absorbed, or before sleep when you need to leave the day's demands outside your bedroom door.

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

I am the wound that learned to close.

When you've given too much—stayed open too long, let yourself leak life force through invisible cuts—I am the resin that says enough. I don't soften what needs to harden. I don't open what needs to seal. I hold the blood of ancient trees, transformed from vulnerability into armor, sounding at the frequency of clear sight.

I work best for those who are tired of being porous. The therapist clearing energy between clients. The teacher who absorbs everyone's anxiety by 3pm. The athlete recovering from a setback that took more than muscle. The person finally ready to stop answering that text. The first responder coming home from a hard shift. Anyone who needs to reclaim what they've been giving away without asking.

Not every bowl finds every person. But if you've read this far, you already know whether this one is yours.
