The Importance of Proper Care: How to clean your crystal singing bowl

Crystal singing bowls aren't just musical tools; they're vessels of energy and healing. Just like tuning a musical instrument, cleansing your bowl allows it to resonate with clarity and potency. While we engage in meditation and utilize the singing bowl for healing and wellness for ourselves and others, our frequent contact with it can inadvertently leave behind bacteria and fingerprints. Grease, sweat and dirt can remain on the surface, dulling the sound, and the healing vibrations. But the cleansing ritual can also be used as a way to connect with the instrument and renew its energy. By infusing your care routine with intention and gratitude, it can be a calming and centering time for yourself. So, grab your polishing cloth and join us as we delve into the art of crystal singing bowl cleaning.

Step-by-Step: How to clean your singing bowl

• Gathering Supplies: Before you begin, gather the necessary supplies: water, mild soap, a soft cloth or sponge, and optionally, essential oils for an aromatic touch.

• Preparation: Find a calm, distraction-free space where you can focus solely on your crystal singing bowl. Play some music in the background or enjoy the silence. Make it a positive and calming experience for yourself.

• Gentle Washing: Start by washing your crystal singing bowl delicately with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaners that could damage the bowl's surface. Gently wipe away any dirt or residue.

• Rinsing with Intention: After cleansing, rinse the bowl under running water, visualizing negative energies or impurities being washed away. Envision the water purifying and revitalizing the crystal bowl. 

• Drying with Care: Pat the bowl dry with a soft cloth or allow it to air dry naturally. Infuse the bowl with your intentions and blessings, filling it with positive energy and gratitude for its healing presence. If your singing bowl is clear, polish gently to remove any water droplets that might stain it. 

• Optional Aromatherapy: For an extra touch, add a few drops of essential oils to the rinse water or diffuse them nearby. Choose oils like lavender or sage to enhance the cleansing process and uplift the senses.

• Final Blessing: To amplify the energy of your crystal meditation bowls, you can charge them with your intention. Simply hold the bowl in your hands and visualize it being filled with pure and positive energy.

• Storing: When not in use, store your crystal meditation bowls in a safe and secure place. Keep them away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture to prevent any potential damage.
