ESSENCE

I am the earth's memory made visible—a crimson tear wept from ancient bark, hardened into ruby glass beneath an unforgiving sun. When you've bled out energy into demands that weren't yours to meet, when your boundaries have been breached so often you've forgotten where you end and others begin, I settle around those raw edges like a second skin. I don't heal for you. I create the protected space where you remember how to heal yourself.

THE ELEMENT

Dragon's Blood Tree Resin derives from Dracaena cinnabari, a rare tree endemic to Socotra, an archipelago off Yemen in the Arabian Sea. When the bark is wounded, it exudes a deep red, viscous resin rich in phenolic compounds—proanthocyanidins, catechins, flavonoids, and the alkaloid taspine. The resin hardens into brittle, ruby-hued chunks with a glossy texture and an earthy-spicy aroma that grounds you before you've even begun working with it.

This resin entered human use around 3000 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia, valued first as a dye and varnish, then as a wound salve by Greek and Roman physicians. Pliny the Elder documented its hemostatic powers. Medieval Arab traders carried it across caliphates for gastrointestinal remedies; European apothecaries adopted it for treating ulcers. Across cultures, it has served one consistent purpose: sealing what's broken, protecting what's vulnerable.

In contemporary wellness, Dragon's Blood supports wound healing, inflammation reduction, and digestive balance. Energetically, it works at the threshold between physical body and emotional armor—the root chakra, the gut, the places that clench when safety feels uncertain. Divine Bowls' proprietary process integrates this resin at the molecular level during formation, creating a microstructure within the quartz that vibrates with the element's protective essence. When you play this bowl, you're not just hearing sound. You're experiencing forty centuries of boundary-keeping wisdom, crystallized.

THE FREQUENCY

This bowl sounds in D at 287 Hz, resonating with the sacral chakra in the Western diatonic system. The D frequency carries the energetic quality of creativity, emotional flow, and the courage to feel fully—vibrating through your pelvis, hips, sitting bones, and lower spine. This is where you hold unprocessed emotion. This is where boundaries live or collapse.

When Dragon's Blood's fierce protection meets this creative, flowing frequency, something particular happens: the bowl doesn't lift you out of your body but anchors you more deeply into it. The low, penetrating tone of this 12-inch bowl hums through your bones like a bassline, while the resin's energy creates a felt sense of perimeter—a reminder that you're allowed to take up space, to say no, to stop performing resilience. People often report feeling simultaneously softer and stronger after working with this frequency, as though something clenched has finally been given permission to release. This bowl's frequency also aligns beautifully with instruments tuned to A=432 Hz, often called natural tuning, producing a warmer, more organic quality that many find deeply settling.

THE TUNING

This bowl resonates at 287 Hz, placing it in our Grounding range—its frequency sits below concert pitch, producing a warmer, more organic quality with a gentle settling energy.

Grounding bowls like this one are good for deep relaxation, meditation, and foundational work. Many people find frequencies in this range feel easier on the nervous system, with a quality that settles into the body rather than floating above it. The tone invites you down rather than pulling you up.

This bowl is also in tune with A=432—its frequency aligns with instruments tuned to A=432 Hz, often called "Verdi tuning" or "natural tuning." If you have instruments tuned to A=432, this bowl will harmonize beautifully with them.

(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 Octave 3 tones with very long sustain—a single strike can resonate for over a minute, filling space without requiring constant attention. The deep, penetrating volume makes it ideal for group sound baths, yoga studios, ceremonial spaces, and large meeting rooms, though it serves equally well as a powerful anchor in personal practice at home. This size allows Dragon's Blood's fierce protective quality to express with full authority, while the low-octave resonance naturally targets the deep body—pelvis, hips, and foundational structures where we hold both stability and unprocessed emotion.

WORKING WITH THIS BOWL

Reach for this bowl when you feel scattered, depleted, or uncertain where your edges are. After a long day of giving—teaching, caregiving, managing, performing—let the first strike be your signal that you're allowed to stop. You don't need technique. Simply play and listen. Notice where the sound lands in your body. Notice what softens. Notice what finally exhales.

Use it to open a team meeting when difficult conversations lie ahead. Play it for a child who's overwhelmed and can't find words. Let it hum in the background while you prepare for something that requires you to hold your ground. Athletes find it useful before competition—not to amp up, but to drop into centered confidence. Writers and artists use it to clear the mental clutter before beginning. There's no wrong way to work with this bowl. The sound does the work; your job is simply to be present for it.

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 99.998% pure quartz—no welds, no weak points—built to last lifetimes of use.

INVITATION

Some bowls arrive with promises. This one arrives with a perimeter.

Dragon's Blood doesn't ask what you're healing from or whether you've earned the right to rest. It doesn't require credentials, spiritual vocabulary, or a meditation practice. It asks only this: Are you ready to stop bleeding out energy into demands that aren't yours to meet?

The answer might be yes. It might be not yet. It might be I don't know, but I'm tired of performing resilience. All of those are welcome here.

This bowl is available. Whenever you're ready—and "ready" looks different for everyone. For some, it's the moment they recognize themselves in these words. For others, it's three months from now, after they've sat with the question. Dragon's Blood has waited four thousand years. It can wait for you too.
