Senora, what do you mean by relaxed? There are times when my body, although it appears relaxed, is really very tense and sore, yet I am happy.

One Love

I see, Senor, that you are going to make me think!

The body, yes, I agree with you. In fact, the body can be sore and tense, and we can be happy.

But if I am frowning and tense emotionally, how happy can I be? If I am upset or angry etc…

When Dianita put the singing bowls around me and did what she does, I wasn’t aware that I was tense. But as she started making the bowls sing, I became aware that mental and emotional tension were leaving, and I found myself lying there with a smile on my face.

While I was under the spell of the singing bowls, I came to the conclusion that we can only be happy when we’re relaxed. Now, even as I say that, I realize there must be people who maintain their happiness even under very trying tense situations. That’s what Heavenletters try to lead us toward.

Thank you for making me think!

Singing bowls can also be made of quartz crystal and their vibrational tone is amazing. We have one tuned to “G” (I believe) and when you play it, the lovely clear note seems to ring forever and it fills up the house. I think a session with seven bowls surrounding you would be heavenly and definitely bring you closer to heaven! The brass bowls are beautiful and have a beautiful tone, but there is something about the bowls made from quartz crystal. Transcendent is the word that keeps coming up.

I had a bad headache last week and so put on a meditation CD with some singing bowls - The pitch really helped my headache but my father went ballistic downstairs and screamed for me to shut the CD off because the singing bowls were too unbearable for him.

I got so mad at him and told him he must have emotional issues for him to react like that. Now I will have to play my singing bowl CD’s when he’s not around.

Why do you think some people freak out from them, when some folks– like me, are not?

My singing bowls contain 7 different metals that relate to 7 planets. They are therapeutic for stess, tension, headache, insomnia, depression, various pains in the body. They help reduce recovery time from injuries and surgeries also they increase energy. They clear and resolve longstanding mental and emotional blocks and provide a greater connection to the heart and soul. I love to listen to them and love to give that help to others. However, I have notied that I can’t listen to them and try to do somehing else or it makes me very uncomfortable. I have a CD and lisening to it in the car when I’m driving is not comforable. It seems to me the bowls are oherworldly and not meant to coincide with this world.

Blessings, Dianita

Lisa, it’s not always easy. I think you have a good solution to play the beautiful singing bowl when your dad isn’t there.

It’s interesting what Dianita says. Maybe your dad is trying to do things when you’re playing the singing bowl, and he’s aware that it’s a conflict.

Dianita, when can I go back and get a tune-up! And, shall we invite Lisa and everybody to come?!!!

Yes, let’s do it again and Lisa and anyone else we can schedule as time permits. Blessings, Dianita

Interesting story about the father not tolerating the sound of ’singing bowls’. It does seem that sometimes certain individuals are not able to tolerate certain pitches/sounds due to their sensitivity to certain sounds as they affect their depleted nervous system. I always figure they have a lack of magnesium and perhaps thiamine that keeps their nervous systems frail. Then there is another point of view. As a spiritual healer, I have found that some people (perhaps unconsciously) do not wish to let go of their pain….especially emotional pain. This pain can be held in certain areas of the body. If the chakra that relates to that area of the body is affected, the person becomes most uncomfortable; some people hang on to their pain, as it is more comfortable to do so versus having the chakra interrupted that ‘loosens’ (if I may put it that way) the pain that has been lodged and seemingly buried in ones body for a long time. Look at it this way: how many people go into uncontrollable sobbing when watching a sad movie? A sad movie can be felt by someone who is sensitive…okay…but for someone to go into heavy sobbing during a sad movie is another matter, as that person is probably using that movie (without realizing it consciously) as therapy to release pent up feelings from a difficult past experience that the person never really let go of. whew. Singing bowls and other musical sounds permeate one’s being on a soul level. Who knows how long pain could have been held; perhaps even from other lifetimes. long explanation, huh?

I think you are so right that when we cry at movies, we are releasing our own stuff.

The first movie I remember sobbing at was Bambi.

I will still sometimes watch a movie on TV by myself and sob away.

But that’s okay, isn’t it? I have thought that crying is good healing thing.

When I studied literature, I think this was called sublimating.

And, oh, yes, certain books and poetry make me cry too!

Sometimes a Heavenletter does!
