Halite is sodium chloride in crystalline form—the same compound as table salt, but formed over millennia through evaporation of ancient seas. In sound healing, it addresses emotional calcification: grief that won't move, words swallowed for too long, feelings that have hardened into physical tension. The mineral's natural property of dissolving in water becomes a sonic metaphor—halite-infused bowls help release what's been held too tightly, without force.
Halite works through dissolution rather than amplification. While selenite clears by raising vibration and clear quartz amplifies whatever's present, halite softens what has calcified—it's the bowl for when you need permission to cry, not energy to push through. Therapists choose halite for clients processing grief or unexpressed emotions, where gentler release serves better than activation. The mineral's solubility mirrors its energetic function: making space for feeling to flow again.
At exactly 200 Hz, this bowl sits at the threshold between foundational grounding (Octave 3) and heart-centered resonance (Octave 4), creating a unique bridging quality. The frequency vibrates through chest, diaphragm, and solar plexus—where we physically hold unexpressed emotions. Combined with G note's throat chakra association and halite's dissolving properties, 200 Hz addresses the full pathway of stuck expression: from core holding patterns up through the voice that finally speaks them.
Yes—halite bowls are specifically valued for grief work that needs gentleness rather than catharsis. The mineral's ancient sea origins and natural dissolution properties create sonic conditions for tears that have been waiting. Therapists report clients often cry during halite bowl sessions when they "couldn't seem to get there" before. This isn't forced release; it's the friend who sits beside you and says it's safe to let this move now.
This bowl's +41 cents places it in the Uplift range—frequency above concert pitch that produces a brighter, more activating quality. For halite's dissolving work, this matters: the Uplift character gently encourages emotional release to move upward and outward rather than settling back into the body. It's particularly effective for stuck grief or swallowed words, where the combination of halite's softening nature and the bowl's brighter frequency helps what's ready to release find its way out.
Halite is molecularly integrated during formation at over 3,000°F—not a surface coating—making the infusion permanent and the bowl fully waterproof. You can clean it with water, leave it in sunlight, or use it in any temperature without affecting the halite infusion. The seamless one-piece quartz construction (99.998% pure) ensures no weak points. These bowls are built to last lifetimes of use, even with daily play or outdoor sound baths.
