Process

Through hammering, firing and working with the metal and your intention, the metal is imbued with the resonance of a new frequency. The agreement to enter into a commission process is a relationship of trust and each of the makers has their own particular way of working.

 

The instrument begins to be birthed from the moment it is conceived by you. The dialogue begins with you approaching us with your inquiry.

 

Quality and Intention for your Bowl:

In this process we love to tune in together with you about what kind of frequency field of new potential might want to be birthed through the combination of you and us. Some people are really clear ahead of time what the purpose of their bowl aims to be: i.e. – assist with focus and clarity or – bringing more of the infinite being into expression through the body on this plane of existence in ease, joy and creative expression or – a personal journey of transformation into becoming more of oneself and allowing ones gifts to be received in the world..

 

It;s great to have a focus that is large enough that it can grow with you and can apply to and can benefit all who come into contact with the bowl – even beyond your lifetime….

So we are just creating a starting point, as the bowl itself will evolve with you and in the crafting a lot more information pours in that neither of us would have thought of.

And sometimes you can start with a blank slate. Go here to read someone’s experience of this co-creational journey.>

Factors influencing the sound:

Smaller diameter = higher tone ,

Larger diameter = lower tone.

Thicker metal = higher and stronger tone.

Thinner metal = lower and softer tone

Shallower bowl = higher tone.
Deeper bowl = lower tone.

So you can create depth of tone with size, thickness/ thinness and depth of bowl as well as with the material used.

Bronze has a slightly brighter quality and brass a slightly warmer note. (see videos below)
So these are the factors to play and create with.

For example; if I wanted to create a bowl to awaken consciousness or to cut through the veils e.t.c. I would choose to make a small bowl with thick material – possibly bronze – to get the strength and height of a sound that can both pierce and awaken. or if I wanted to create a bowl to celebrate and facilitate the abundance and awareness of the gifts of the Earth I would probably choose a larger size bowl with depth and warmth for receiving / coming home into.-

 

so I would choose thinner material of a larger size and create more depth – probably in brass. So this is just a little to get your sensing capacities moving as to what kind of bowl might be knocking on your door to be birthed through our co-creation. So please let us know what moves in you and lets talk.

post imageThe Makers:

Gabriella specializes in co-creating singing bowls with you as a healing alchemical journey of deep immersion and transformation.

This can be likened to a distant healing process and journey into more presence, consciousness and wholeness – working closely with your intention and with that which is beyond your conscious knowing.

The resulting instrument is an alchemical vibrational tool that contains the essence of the transformation and a vibrational field of new possibility

Heather has the capacity to sense the person and the bowl way beyond the 5 senses and allows and invites new consciousness and awareness. She is a bowl whisperer.

 

Other’s Experiences of receiving a custom made Singingbowl:

“OMG I am totally blown away by listening to your recording, watching your photos and your videos. I can’t believe that you are sharing so much of the process with the souls who commission your singing bowls from you.

This is such an incredible gift you are giving us in letting us into the process, hearing your voice and your words of what you are experiencing whilst linking up with the energy of the metals and with the Higher Self of the person.

This is truly way beyond my wildest dreams and expectations of what I would be receiving from you.

I was excited before, but I am now totally in awe of what you are birthing for me. I felt every word you spoke deep within my heart and when you were explaining about the bowl being my companion for the next phase of my journey, my whole being was shivering,completely connected.

Every atom of my being resonated with the answers you gave… it felt so true as if I had known this all along. From the bottom of my heart and every fibre in my being I thank you for what you are making, co-creating, birthing for me.” C

 

“What a wonderful crafts person you are – the joy of receiving and sounding my bowls – blessings, blessings blessings to you, for following your passions and listening to your heart.  They are truly masterpieces.” Carey R

AUDIOS ABOUT THE MAKING:


EXCERPT OF AN INTERVIEW ABOUT THE MAKING OF THE BOWLS WITH GABRIELLA

Quentin’s sharing on saturday live BBC Nov 2013: It starts at about 15mins into the programme.

…I can feel the vibrations and resonance of the bells each time i strike them. They aid me to feel lighter, more clarity and the body sensation is amazing, as though full of communication. I’ve also used them for clearing energy and can noticeable feel the shift.

I’ve not had much experience with the bells before and they make a profound difference and I’m in awe. Inspirational! Magic magic and more magic ‘:D

FEEDBACK:

“Gabriella’s process of custom-crafting bowls and bells is a form of soul-tending. Beginning with our initial interview, she listened and tuned in to what was moving in me and in my life, helping me to discern what role the bowl could have in support of my own emergence.

Carrying that deep intention with her into the forging of the bowl, Gabriella worked with the subtle energies of both the subject (me) and the object (the bowl) with astonishing sensitivity and intuition.
She is an inspired and dedicated artisan whose true gift is to bring bowl and soul into sacred resonance.” Julia Smith MD Seattle

Custom Made Singing Bowls

“Gabriella crafted two beautiful singing bowls for me, in a process that profoundly impacted me in ways I would never have imagined.

The work she did consisted of several weeks of firing, hammer and re-firing and re-hammering and instilling the bowls with vibrational energy from her heart and soul..

She shared with me her journey of completing the bowls and as she unfolded the story it became deeply clear to me that the process the bowls went through reflected a deep emotional process I was in at the time. Gabriella recounted to me the difficulties, challenges, and barriers preceding the emergence of beautiful bowls that have an exquisite sound when played.

What I felt was that during that time, the bowl process was a kind of “distance healing” process, where the bowls and Gabriella were alchemically working with my energy field.

It was as though something was being worked out with the bowl process that I might otherwise have had to confront in my emotional or physical body. The bowls feel organically connected to my body and spirit.

I use them daily, sometimes several times to increase mindfulness. As I ring them, the vibration moves through me and clears energetic blocks that might otherwise become emotional or physical problems. Gabriella is a gifted musician, craftsperson and healer, working on the energetic, alchemical and physical level to created singing and healing bowls.” Nita Gage, PhD, MA , CSAC ‘

 

“Wow, such an amazing process!

closed my eyes as I listened to the recording of the process you sent and found my Self nearly in a meditative state…. it felt as though I was right there with you and the bowl going thru the entire process together.

The experience was deep, I felt completely submerged, yet fully present in the co-creation of my bowl. I am struck by your documentation of this process and your tender loving care. I am beyond delighted and excited!!!’ Sharon Fallon Shreve
