Thank you Andrea for the videos your tunes have given me some time of pain relief and less stress because of it thank you very much.
@@davidsmith9730 I am glad this has been helpful! 🙏🏽 Take care
very good, very harmony, thank you very much
🙏🏽🌷
Thank you so much for your content. I am feeling so called towards sound healing and think I’m going to invest in a set of bowls 🤍🎶
Wonderful, you can always start with 2 or 3 bowls and that is plenty! So no need to buy a big set of 7 right away!
❤Amazing! Thank you!
Beautiful explanation. What notes are the other 2 bowls? Thank you 💖🙏
The smallest bowl in the front is an F#, then next to it is an A, then a B. 🙏🏽
@@AndreaCortez whats the note of the brown bowl you drone with the c
@@camilomartinezgrez1263 That is a G
This is such a beautiful video. Thank you! I noticed you mentioned in the comments you recommend getting them tuned to 440HZ. I just purchased some at 432HZ. I'm wondering why you recommended higher, and what will be the difference in the sounds?
Good question. There isn't anything wrong with buying them at 432HZ. But if you are gong to play with other instruments that are tuned to 440HZ they won't sound good together. There are some saying that 432HZ is more healing but this isn't necessarily true. There are a lot of details about frequencies and music theory to understand why this is not true but basically it is just a different way to tune. If you are just playing your bowls by themselves then 432 is fine! If you purchase more to add to your set, then make sure they are also at 432 HZ.
Thank you so much! I am very grateful. 💗
Thank you Andrea. I'm m been looking for this kind of videos. I'm a beginner in this and I have so many questions. My first question is, can you recommend wich one can i start whith as beginner, crystal or Tibetan?
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for sharing these techniques. I was wondering what note the bowl that you play with your left hand for the majority of the video is?
The darker bowl is a G my left hand , the white bowl is a C 😁
@@AndreaCortez thank you
Thanks for video.. just got sounds bowls this was a great help.. i have 7 bowls is there any specific order i play them in
If you have 7 you may have bought the set based on a C major scale, that is commonly how they are sold. You want to be careful not to play too much dissonance, that would be playing the neighboring notes at the same time. Instead you want to try to create harmony or move from dissonance to harmony. There will be numerous ways to do this with 7 bowls.
@@AndreaCortez thanks that helps alot miss
Thank you so much :)
You're welcome 🙏 💕
I wrapped light suede around wood above rubber to prevent wood hitting rim...
Hi there Andrea, where do you recommend purchasing Crystal Singing Bowls? Thanks in advance for your suggestion.
The Om Shoppe based in Florida
Can you recommend which bowls are best to buy?
Any bowl buying guide?
Good idea, I should make a guide. Here is a website that is reliable and you can listen to the bowls before purchase. www.silverskyimports.com Bowls are expensive, but you can start with 2 or 3 bowls and build your set. It would be good to start with the intervals of a 5th, 4th, and 3rd in your set. The intervals are what create harmony and most important. There are some affordable bowls by TopFund on Amazon that are good quality quartz frosted bowls.
@@AndreaCortez hi Andrea namaste, thank you for your video y and comments…what do you mean by intervals of a 5th, 4th and 3rd… is that notes of the scale
@@camilomartinezgrez1263 Yes it is a bit of music theory, it is the spacing of the notes that make harmony ☺
@@AndreaCortez also they create a chord
Hi there Andrea, where do you recommend purchasing Crystal Sound Bowls? Thanks in advance
I recommend the Om Shoppe based in Florida 😍
I’m ready to purchase a set of 3, do you suggest certain sizes or megahertz to start with?
The notes C, E, G are a great harmony to start. I would get them tuned to 440HZ.
@@AndreaCortez thank you! I’m loving your videos, such great information and instruction
@@pinkwitchapothecary-crystals Thanks for watching!
Is it normal for there to always be a bit of a scratching sound when you’re dealing with the rim of the Crystal Singing Bowls? I was able to avoid the scratching sound using the rubber mallet 2 inches away from the rim. Thank you so much for that technique! I’m still unable to avoid the scratching sound upon beginning on the rim no matter how slow or gentle I start.
The best mallet to reduce the scratching sound is a rubber/acrylic tube mallet, not the ball, but you can find on Amazon. This is an older video and I don't have that mallet in this video. The rubber mallet reduces the scratch to almost nothing.
Hi Andrea! Where do you get your bowls from?
Specifically the darker colored bowls. Those are beautiful!
@@nikkilee9018 The darker bowls I got at SilverSkyImports.com These are the crystal tones bowls made of citrine not white quartz. The frosted quartz bowls are the most affordable. But you can search for these other types of crystal bowls on that website. 🌷
@@AndreaCortez Thank you! 💕
Could you please share what bowls you have, by which company?
I have bought bowls from SilverSkyImports.com and theOmShoppe.com they will allow you to listen to the bowls before you purchase
@@AndreaCortez Thank you for your answer! As I am in the EU, I am looking at the Meinl set. Yours sound amazing but are a bit out of my range+shipping. Do you perhaps have any recommendations for bowls available in Europe?
@@Coco_Sultan I don't know but this is a good question and I am going to look to see what I find. 🙏🏽
@@AndreaCortez Thank you, I would be keen to hear your recommendations!
What keys were you playing?
Key of C major. First notes are C and G bowls.
