ESSENCE

I am the crimson tear that hardens into shield. When your edges have worn thin—when you've given too much, absorbed too much, scattered yourself across too many demands—I am the substance that says: this far and no further. This bowl carries the fierce protector energy of dragon's blood resin, sounding at a frequency that moves through your core like resolve settling into bone. I don't promise transcendence. I offer something harder: the capacity to stand in your own protected center.

THE ELEMENT

Dragon's blood resin is a deep red, sap-like substance exuded from the bark of select tree species across South America, Yemen's Socotra archipelago, and Southeast Asia. When these trees are wounded, they respond not with weakness but with fierce protection—producing a viscous, blood-colored resin that hardens upon exposure to air, sealing what's broken. This biological defense mechanism has made dragon's blood one of humanity's oldest healing substances, documented in Egyptian embalming rituals around 3000 BCE and in Greek medical texts by the 1st century CE.

The resin's chemistry reflects its protective nature. Compounds like taspine stimulate tissue regeneration, while proanthocyanidins and catechins provide antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory support. Indigenous Amazonian communities have applied it topically for wounds and internally for digestive distress for generations, viewing it as a gift from forest spirits for physical restoration. In Tibetan and Ayurvedic traditions, practitioners used it to clear stagnant energy and support vitality during healing rituals.

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 a true integration. Even though the resin transforms at the extreme temperatures of formation, its structural imprint remains within the quartz, creating resonance patterns unique to this infusion. The result is a bowl that carries the resin's protective signature in every frequency it produces. When you work with this bowl, you're not just hearing sound—you're experiencing the vibration of boundary, of containment, of fierce self-preservation made audible.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in D at 247 Hz, resonating with the sacral chakra in the Western diatonic system. The D frequency carries an energetic quality that is creative, flowing, and emotional—vibrating through your torso, chest cavity, solar plexus, and core. This is the region where we hold our sense of personal power, where breath meets emotion, where the body processes what the mind cannot.

When dragon's blood's protective intensity meets this creative frequency, something interesting happens. The resin's grounding, boundary-setting energy doesn't dampen the D note's emotional flow—it contains it. People often describe this combination as feeling "held while moving," like having permission to feel deeply without losing their footing. The sound moves through the core with warmth rather than aggression, fortifying rather than hardening.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 247 Hz. Using A=440 as reference, it plays D+23 cents. Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is B+32 cents in the third octave.

This bowl is categorized in the C=528 tuning because its frequency aligns with instruments tuned so that middle C equals 528 Hz—known as the "Love Frequency" in Solfeggio tradition. This brighter tuning is associated with heart-opening qualities and joyful expansion. The slightly elevated pitch creates an uplifting, clarifying resonance that balances dragon's blood's grounding intensity with a quality of forward movement. For those with instruments tuned to C=528, this bowl will harmonize beautifully.

(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 6.5 inches, this bowl produces fourth-octave tones with short to medium sustain—meaning the sound speaks clearly and then releases, rather than lingering indefinitely. This creates natural rhythm in playing, inviting repeated strikes or rimming rather than single sustained tones. The intimate to balanced volume makes it ideal for personal practice, bedside rituals, small group settings, therapy rooms, or any space where you want presence without overwhelm.

This size allows dragon's blood's fierce protective energy to express with focused intensity rather than diffusion. The fourth-octave resonance naturally targets the upper-mid body—chest, solar plexus, diaphragm—the physical seat of both breath and boundary. Whether placed on a nightstand, brought to a treatment room, or carried to an athlete's preparation space, this bowl's portability matches its purpose: protection you can take with you.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when your edges feel thin. Maybe you've been giving too much—to work, to family, to everyone's needs but your own. Maybe anxiety has scattered your energy across a thousand worries, or grief has left you feeling porous and unprotected. This isn't a bowl for transcendence or bliss. It's a bowl for coming back to yourself, for remembering that your boundaries are worth defending.

Begin simply: place the bowl in front of you, take three slow breaths, and strike the rim with intention. As the sound moves through your torso and core, notice where you feel it most. Some people place a hand on their belly or solar plexus while playing, grounding the vibration in the body. Others use this bowl to mark transitions—the end of a workday, the moment before a difficult conversation, the pause between giving care to others and returning to themselves. Athletes find it useful for pre-competition centering, when the mind needs to consolidate rather than scatter. Parents use it to help anxious children settle before homework or sleep. There's no wrong way to work with this bowl. The frequency doesn't ask for credentials.

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

Some sounds don't ask anything of you. They just stand where you're standing and stay.

This bowl carries dragon's blood resin—the substance trees make when wounded, not in defeat but in fierce response. It sounds at 247 Hz, a frequency that moves through your torso and core like resolve settling into bone. The energy here isn't soft. It's the friend who tells you the truth. The medicine that tastes of earth and iron. The warmth that comes from standing your ground.

Maybe your edges have worn thin from giving. Maybe scattered energy needs consolidating before competition, or after caregiving, or in the pause between everyone else's needs and your own. This bowl doesn't promise transcendence. It offers something harder: the capacity to hold together.
