ESSENCE

I am the glass that remembers fire. Born where volcanic heat kissed silica into something neither fully earth nor fully light, I carry transformation in my molecular structure—smooth, vitreous, catching photons and bending them into color. I work at the frequency of light itself, raising your baseline until heavier patterns simply can't maintain their grip. When you're ready to shift from enduring to evolving, I'll be here—holding space for your becoming.

THE ELEMENT

Andara is amorphous glass formed under extraordinary conditions—primarily composed of silica with traces of iron, chromium, and what some describe as monatomic elements that give it an unmistakable luminous presence. Unlike crystalline minerals with repeating lattice structures, Andara has no fixed pattern. It is fluid even in solid form, shaped by forces too intense for ordinary matter to withstand. This glass-like substance catches light differently than any crystal, refracting it into ethereal colors that seem to shift as you move.

The story of Andara begins in 1967, when Nellie Morse Thompson—a Choctaw medicine woman—discovered seafoam-colored specimens on her land near Mount Shasta, California. She recognized something in them that defied easy categorization: neither quite stone nor quite light, carrying what she described as profound healing potential. Since then, these materials have found their way into sound healing ceremonies, meditation practices, and the hands of those drawn to high-vibration tools for personal evolution.

When Andara is infused into quartz crystal through Divine Bowls' proprietary process, its unique microstructure becomes part of what vibrates—not a surface coating, but a molecular integration. The element's light-catching, frequency-raising signature weaves into every tone the bowl produces. People often describe Andara bowls as having an unusual quality: sounds that seem to thin the veil between states of consciousness without creating disorientation. When you work with this element, you're invited to remember that what feels solid—old stories, limiting beliefs, inherited patterns—is actually more fluid than you've been taught.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in F at 340 Hz, resonating with the heart chakra in the Western diatonic system. The F frequency carries the energetic quality of compassion, balance, and emotional openness, vibrating through your chest, heart space, and the center of your relational self. Yet this particular F lives in the third octave—a deeper, more penetrating register that you feel not just in your heart but through your entire foundation: pelvis, hips, sitting bones, lower spine.

When Andara's light-elevating nature meets this heart-grounding frequency, something interesting happens. The bowl doesn't choose between rising and rooting—it does both simultaneously. People often notice a sense of expansion that stays anchored, as if their heart could open wider precisely because their foundation feels more secure. This is transformation that doesn't bypass the body.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 340 Hz. Using A=440 as reference, it plays F-44 cents. Using A=432 as reference, this same frequency is F-15 cents in the fourth octave.

This bowl is categorized as Grounding Tuning because its frequency falls below the A=432 range, producing an even deeper, more anchoring quality. These frequencies have an inward-drawing character—sounds that settle rather than stimulate. The grounding category serves those doing deep energetic work, calming active minds, helping children settle before sleep, or anyone who needs profound settling before they can access higher states. Andara's natural tendency toward elevation is beautifully balanced by this grounding frequency—you get the light without losing the earth.

(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—sound that continues resonating well after you've stopped playing, filling space with waves that seem to breathe on their own. The deep, penetrating volume makes it ideal for large group ceremonies, retreat center gatherings, yoga studio sessions, or any space where sound needs to reach and hold many people simultaneously.

This size allows Andara's frequency-raising quality to express with full ceremonial presence, while the low octave resonance naturally targets the deep body—your foundational structures, the places where you meet the earth. For home use, this bowl becomes a centerpiece for dedicated practice spaces, living rooms where family gathers, or any room where you want sound to truly command attention. The 12-inch diameter means this isn't a travel bowl—it's an anchor, a statement piece, an instrument that asks for its own place in your environment.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you're ready for shift—not the small adjustments of daily maintenance, but the larger movements that mark genuine evolution. This might be the morning you finally sit with a decision you've been avoiding, the evening after a major life transition, or the moment in a group gathering when everyone needs to drop from scattered thinking into unified presence. Play it when your nervous system is stable enough to handle expansion; Andara works best when the heaviest survival-mode healing is already underway.

Begin simply: settle yourself, take three breaths that reach your belly, and let the mallet circle the rim until sound emerges. You don't need technique—you need presence. Notice what happens in your chest as the heart frequency fills the room, and simultaneously notice your connection to whatever you're sitting on. Let the sound thin the veil without tearing it. Some people place the bowl on the floor and sit near it, letting vibration travel up through their foundation. Others position it at heart height during seated meditation. Experiment. This bowl responds to intention, and your intention doesn't need to be elaborate—"I'm ready to shift" is enough.

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 remembers fire meets the frequency that opens hearts. Not every instrument asks you to choose between rising and rooting—this one does both. If you've been waiting for transformation that doesn't require leaving your body behind, this might be the sound that finally makes sense. Andara doesn't perform miracles. It creates conditions. You still do the work. But when you're ready to shift from enduring your days to actually evolving through them—whether that's before a presentation, after a hard shift, or in the stolen quiet of 5am—this frequency knows how to hold that threshold. The bowl is here. So are you. Trust what brought you this far.
