Keeper of the Bowl

by Gigi Rock

The Hopi Indians have a prophecy that is being fulfilled with the “Coming of the Rainbow People.”  In this prophecy they speak of the keepers of crystal bowls.  I was not aware of this prophecy until recently, and I really felt a sense of belonging.  Could I be one of the Rainbow People?  I had several visions in 1995 of me sitting among a circle of bowls, at first I thought they were drums.  I laughed at myself and thought “how great to play the drums.”  However the visions became stronger and clearer throughout the year.  Then one day a friend came to me and asked me if I had heard of the crystal bowls or ever listened to them.  He showed me one bowl and began playing it, I felt like a ton of bricks knocked me over.  That’s exactly what I had envisioned, now the task of finding them, I did and I was ecstatic.  At first I played the bowls in a single line and then in a circle around me.  I have been playing crystal bowls for several years now and I have reaped the benefits from their healing capabilities.  Crystal bowls have emerged from the concept of the Tibetan Brass Temple Bowl, they are highly effective tools, capable of inducing a profound, positive, beautiful and beneficial altered state of consciousness.  I use these bowls in healings, meditations, and chakra attunements.  There are seven major energy centers in the body commonly referred to as chakras.  They are responsible for inflows and outflows of energy into and between the various bodies (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual).  Each chakra corresponds to the vibration of a specific musical note the bowl is tuned to.  A healthy chakra is able to attract or release energy as needed.  They can open to positive influences & close to harmful influences.  An unhealthy, blocked chakra can lead to phobias, irrational emotions and thoughts.  The bowls act as an inter-dimensional bridge and helps us reach into ourselves, awakening the cellular memory and healing the energetic body.  In 1995 I was diagnosed with Graeves Disease, a hyper-thyroid.  The only option I had, from the medical staff, was to destroy my thyroid and put me on medication the rest of my life, that was not an option.  My method was self-healing, I needed to find the root of the problem. Why was my throat chakra blocked, what truths were I not telling?  This took work and self-exploration, not where I wanted to be at the time.  I was not telling lies to others, it was to myself and I evidently found the hidden truth.  I changed my entire life style and I worked with the throat chakra bowl.  After six months my Graeves Disease was gone, the doctors never heard of that without destroying the thyroid completely.  I also use the bowls in group settings or with individuals.  While an individual is being massaged the bowls create a safe, quiet, relaxed environment and consciousness in less time than the rocking technique massage therapists use.  When a person is in this altered state they become clearer to read and I am able to pick up on the blocks of their chakras and help with the healing process as they receive the physical and spiritual healing as one.  In a group setting, several things have occurred from hysterical laughter to heart wrenching sobs.  I know that these individuals are being touch and healed through my bowls.

Am I a Keeper of the Bowl?  Some might say yes, others are not sure.  But I know, at least for my bowls, I am.
