Some bowls are limited editions and sell out quickly, while other bowls are almost always available. The notes that are best for you may also be related to what's going on in your life. Sometimes it's important to work on the higher chakras or energy centers, while other times the most important thing may be a need to stay centered and grounded, or to enhance your creativity. If you would like to see our chart that shows where the chakras are found in the body, and their corresponding notes and colors, there is a link at the bottom of this article, or you can click here now to see the chart. Perhaps you will feel the effects begin or express more deeply in one of the 7 chakras, but they will also travel throughout your entire energy field.
Every tone is wonderful and effective.
Many people choose the notes and sizes that sound the best to them when I play several bowls over the phone. Most people are surprised to learn that a particular size of bowl may be available in more than one note or tone, such as I listed above for the 10 and 12 inch frosted bowls. This is possible because subtle differences in the weight, porosity, wall height, and wall thickness of the bowl determine the tone. For example, a 14 inch frosted bowl is often available in A, B, C or D, with the D bowl having a side wall an inch or so higher than the A bowl. Interestingly enough, there are several systems in the world for specifying which tones go with which chakras.
