Body Recall Tea is a six-botanical blend combining Darjeeling black tea, green tea, jasmine white tea, lily of the valley essence, raspberries, and spearmint—elements used across Chinese, Ayurvedic, and European traditions for somatic awareness and emotional memory. When infused into quartz during formation, these botanicals create unique microstructures that vibrate when the bowl is played. The result addresses what therapists call "living from the neck up"—the bowl creates conditions for returning to body wisdom that's been bypassed or stored as tension.
Therapists and counselors use this bowl between clients to clear accumulated emotional residue from the space and themselves. Teachers reach for it during classroom transitions when students need to shift from high energy to focused calm. Caregivers—those who spend their days attending to others—find it offers the pause they rarely give themselves. The bowl serves anyone navigating grief, loss, or significant life transitions where the body holds what words can't yet express. Tea ceremony enthusiasts appreciate the ritual parallel between steeping and softening.
Most heart chakra bowls focus on opening or expansion. Body Recall Tea adds the dimension of somatic recall—it doesn't just open the heart, it invites the body to remember what it's been holding there. The blend's traditional uses span mental memory (green tea, spearmint), emotional recall (lily of the valley), and physical grounding (Darjeeling, raspberry). This F-note bowl also connects to root energy in the Cycle of Fifths system, creating an unusual bridge between heart-opening and anchoring that prevents the unmoored feeling some experience with purely expansive heart work.
People often notice sensation in the chest and shoulders first—areas where emotion accumulates when we're "holding it together." The sound doesn't force release; it creates permission. Some describe a softening quality, like tension that's been furniture finally remembering it can move. The botanical complexity produces layered harmonics—you might notice warmth (the teas), opening (jasmine), or cooling clarity (spearmint) depending on what your nervous system needs. It's gentler than cathartic release bowls, more activating than purely receptive ones.
Yes. This bowl resonates at 344 Hz, which aligns with instruments tuned to the A=432 Hz standard—often called "Verdi tuning" or "natural tuning." Many practitioners find A=432 produces a warmer, more organic quality that feels easier on the nervous system, which pairs naturally with Body Recall Tea's somatic focus. If you're building a set of bowls for body-centered work or integrating with other A=432 instruments, this bowl will harmonize beautifully. The earth-connected quality of A=432 complements the blend's grounding botanicals while maintaining heart-opening properties.
The infusion is permanent—integrated at the molecular level during formation, not applied as a coating. The bowl is waterproof, temperature-stable, and sunlight-safe. Clean with water and mild soap if needed; the seamless one-piece construction has no weak points or welds that could compromise over time. Because Body Recall Tea includes delicate botanicals like jasmine and lily of the valley essence, some wonder if the bowl requires special handling—it doesn't. The quartz preserves the botanical microstructure indefinitely, built to last lifetimes of use.
