Quartz crystal singing bowls send out supercharged healing vibrations that calm the mind, relax the body and initiate restorative processes. The power of crystal singing bowls isn’t just the amazing effects they have on us when played alone. It’s also what happens when you combine crystal singing bowls with other holistic practices. You can create dynamic and transformative healing experiences.
Over the last year, I’ve been interviewing my clients who use crystal singing bowls as part of their professional practice to tell their stories, support their businesses and see the various ways that sound healing can combine with different modalities to create something magical.
I’ve collated the various combinations from the sound practitioners I’ve featured this year to give you a list of ideas about bringing crystal singing bowls into your own practice.
Ideas for using crystal singing bowls as a practitioner
Here’s a summary of how a selection of my clients include crystal singing bowls in their offerings. Check out their websites and social media for more inspiration.
Samantha Bowers
Sam provides spiritual healing and respite on three levels - sound, breath and movement. It creates an immersive experience where people can truly switch off from the outside world and consciously connect with their bodies and innate wisdom. Her sessions combine soundscapes, kundalini yoga, meditative movement, conscious dance, ceremonial cacao and breathwork.
Georgia Laurence
Georgia is all about leaning into the stillness and the nurturing and expansiveness that can happen there. Crystal singing bowls are an important part of quietening the mind and getting the body comfortable with stillness. She also uses meditation and cacao ceremonies. In particular, morning meditation alongside sound healing is a wonderful way she invites people to start the day.
Emma Seymour
Emma is a clinical hypnotherapist, transformational coach and sound healer alongside teaching yoga, yoga nidra and Qoya. She works with clients in group environments as well as one-on-one. That includes offering singing bowls as a sound bath and as individual sound healing sessions which are private and personalised.
Hannah White
Hannah’s business is called HyggeB. Hygge stands for cosiness and the B is for beauty. She combines holistic treatments, including sound healing, cacao ceremonies and yoga, with wellness treatments, like reflexology and facials. One of her favourite times to use crystal singing bowls is when giving facial treatments, relaxing and nurturing in multiple ways in one session.
David Spofforth
David is a sound practitioner who offers both group and individual sound sessions. The way he chooses the bowls for these sessions is quite unique. His bowls are aligned with the frequencies of the planets. So David will pick bowls based on the current planetary positions or in astrological healing, the planets associated with the issues a client is experiencing.
Zoe Mitchell
Zoe loves combining sound healing and Yin yoga. Both bring calm and balance to the mind and body, help to quiet the noise and chaos of everyday life, and create a space for deep relaxation and healing. When used together, they amplify each other’s therapeutic powers. Plus, she offers both in-person classes and online sessions to reach more people in more ways.
Jeanette Svensson
Jeanette offers sessions covering sound healing, Yin yoga and cranio-sacral therapy. Within this beautiful mix are different types of sound healing. She uses crystal singing bowls, gongs and has found a lot of healing in singing mantras. It all comes together to help people release pain and stress and reconnect with their own bodies and hearts.
Eleanor Walker-Harris
Eleanor uses sound and yoga in her work as a vocal coach. She finds that these practices, combined with research-based vocal techniques, help actors and singers connect with their authentic voices. The connection between wellbeing and creativity means that sound healing supports their craft, physically, vocally and mentally.
Rachel Broady
Rachel’s work is all about supporting a deeper connection with the body and the ability to
establish a sense of inner safety and peace. So the modalities she uses are somatic coaching, sound healing and Reiki. Within sound, she uses crystal and Tibetan bowls as well as
polyphonic overtone singing. All help with being in the body in the present moment.
Veronica Youdell
Veronica is a qualified yoga instructor, sound therapist and energy worker. Sound is such an important part of her work because it unlocks the light and love frequency within herself and creates a deeper connection to what is present and what is possible. She includes mini sound baths at the beginning of her yoga classes as well as offering sound baths in the corporate sector, retreats and private one-to-one sound therapy treatments.
Anna Clifford
Anna uses movement, breathwork and sound to help clients return to themselves. Sound is integrated throughout her yoga classes, workshops and retreats as well as offering sound baths in community, private and corporate settings. In her work, movement is medicine and sound helps unlock and amplify the healing results.
That’s how 11 different practitioners use the power of sound in their work. You can see they all have slightly different offerings based on their other modalities, skillsets and approaches. How could you weave sound into your practice?
If you’re just getting started, book a free discovery call and I’ll help you find the right crystal singing bowls for you from the I Know This Girl shop. If you’re developing your sound practice, book a workshop to learn more about how crystal singing bowls work and practice the playing techniques. Note, before using crystal singing bowls with clients, it’s important to be trained. Here are the trainings I recommend.
