Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about this bowl.
Halite is pure sodium chloride—the same mineral in your tears, blood, and sweat—crystallized from 250-million-year-old seabeds. Its hygroscopic nature (actively absorbing moisture) makes it uniquely suited for emotional release work. Sound healers choose halite when clients need to distinguish between their own feelings and absorbed energy from others. The bowl doesn't build or activate; it dissolves and clears, making it essential for empaths, caregivers, and anyone who ends the day carrying weight that isn't theirs.
Halite serves people in caretaking roles who absorb emotional residue—therapists between clients, teachers after difficult classroom days, nurses between shifts, parents navigating bedtime meltdowns. Unlike heart-opening bowls that expand capacity, halite creates boundaries by clearing what you've taken on. Athletes use it to release mental clutter before competition; grief workers reach for it during transitions. If you feel emotionally "full" of things that aren't yours, or struggle to separate your feelings from others', halite teaches release without requiring spiritual language or practice.
Halite works through absorption rather than smoke or scent, making it ideal for scent-sensitive environments—therapy offices, schools, hospitals, shared living spaces. While sage clears a room's energy, halite draws out what's been absorbed into your own field. The bowl's 442 Hz frequency paired with salt's dissolving nature creates a double-action: sound moves stagnant energy while halite's molecular structure pulls it away. Practitioners report halite feels gentler than smoke-based clearing, more like washing than burning, making it accessible for daily use without ritual setup.
Halite addresses the specific exhaustion of absorbing others' emotions by modeling release as a physical process. Its hygroscopic nature—literally pulling moisture from air—mirrors how empaths unconsciously absorb energy. Playing this bowl after emotionally heavy interactions creates a tangible reset: the A note activates third-eye clarity while salt's dissolving quality demonstrates that letting go isn't loss, it's maintenance. Therapists and energy workers use it between sessions; parents play it after school pickups. The bowl doesn't build walls—it teaches that boundaries are about what you release, not what you resist.
This bowl resonates at 442 Hz, placing it at Concert Pitch—within 10 cents of A=440, the universal tuning standard. It plays in tune with pianos, guitars, and orchestras, making it ideal for musicians integrating singing bowls into compositions or practitioners using recorded music in sessions. The halite infusion doesn't affect tuning compatibility; you can blend this bowl seamlessly with any A=440 instrument. For fine adjustment, adding water lowers pitch slightly—useful when dialing in precise intervals with other bowls or creating layered soundscapes where halite's purifying quality supports rather than dominates.
Halite is integrated at the molecular level during formation—it won't wash out, fade in sunlight, or degrade with use. The bowl is waterproof, temperature-stable, and built from 99.998% pure quartz in seamless one-piece construction with no weak points. Clean with water and mild soap; the infusion's microstructure remains permanent. Because halite is hygroscopic in raw form, some wonder if the bowl absorbs moisture—it doesn't. The quartz encapsulates halite's energetic signature without its physical absorption properties, giving you salt's clearing quality in a durable, maintenance-free instrument designed for lifetimes of use.
