There’s something almost magical about the sound of a crystal singing bowl. If you’ve ever been to a sound bath or heard one in a meditation class, you know the calming, almost otherworldly hum that reaches deep into your body.

But what’s really going on when someone says they’re “balancing their chakras” with sound? 

And what do crystal bowls have to do with it?

Let’s walk through the basics of the 7 chakras, how singing bowls are used with them, and why more people (and stores) are turning to these beautiful tools for a little peace and healing.

First, What Are Chakras?

Think of chakras as energy hubs that run up the centre of your body, from the base of your spine to the top of your head. These seven main chakras are like invisible spinning wheels, each linked to specific organs, emotions, and aspects of our overall wellbeing. 

When energy flows freely through our chakras, we can feel calm, energised, and balanced. But when a chakra is blocked or overactive, it can throw everything off - physically, mentally, and emotionally. 

Here’s a simple overview of the seven:

Root Chakra (Red, note C)

Located at the base of the spine, this chakra is all about feeling safe, grounded, and secure. When it’s balanced, you feel stable and supported in your environment. When blocked, it can bring anxiety, fear, or a sense of disconnection.

Sacral Chakra (Orange, note D)

Found just below the belly button, the sacral chakra is linked to creativity, emotional expression, and sensuality. A balanced sacral chakra helps you enjoy life, form healthy relationships, and embrace your passions.

Solar Plexus Chakra (Yellow, note E) 

Sitting in the upper abdomen, this chakra is tied to self-worth, personal power, and motivation. It gives you the energy and confidence to take action and make decisions that align with your goals.

Heart Chakra (Green, note F)

Located in the centre of the chest, the heart chakra governs love, compassion, forgiveness, and empathy. When open, it helps you connect deeply with others and yourself in a kind, balanced way.

Throat Chakra (Blue, note G) 

Found at the throat, this chakra controls communication and self-expression. A balanced throat chakra allows you to speak your truth clearly and confidently, while a blocked one may cause you to hold back or feel misunderstood.

Third Eye Chakra (Indigo, note A)

Positioned between the eyebrows, the third eye chakra is your centre of intuition and inner wisdom. It’s what helps you see beyond the surface, access your insight, and trust your instincts.

Crown Chakra (Violet or white, note B) 

Located at the very top of the head, the crown chakra is linked to spiritual connection, higher consciousness, and inner peace. When aligned, it brings a sense of clarity, openness, and purpose that goes beyond the physical self.

Each chakra has its own frequency and vibration, which is why sound healing works so well. When one of these energy centres is out of sync, it can show up as low mood, restlessness, poor sleep, or even physical discomfort. That’s where sound, especially the tones from crystal singing bowls, can gently nudge things back into balance.

How Crystal Singing Bowls Help

Crystal singing bowls are made from pure quartz and tuned to specific notes. Each note corresponds with one of the seven chakras. When you play the bowl, it produces a vibration that interacts with the body’s energy field. You don’t even need to “believe” in anything for it to work. Your body just responds to the sound.

Let’s say someone’s struggling to speak up or communicate clearly. A bowl tuned to the throat chakra (note G) might help release that block. Or if they’re dealing with heartache, a heart chakra bowl (note F) could support them emotionally.

The best part? You don’t have to be an expert to start using them. Just a quiet space, a bowl, and some intention go a long way.

How to Use Singing Bowls in Everyday Life

Here’s a simple way anyone can use crystal singing bowls.

Be it at home, in a yoga studio, or even in a wellness shop:

1. Pick a bowl tuned to the chakra you want to focus on.

2. Sit or lie down comfortably in a quiet space.

3. Gently strike or circle the rim with the mallet until you hear a steady tone.

4. Close your eyes and focus on your breath, or visualise the energy flowing through that part of your body.

5. Repeat often. Like most self-care tools, the more you use it, the more helpful it becomes.
