Crystal sound bowls, also known as crystal singing bowls, offer several potential benefits:

1. Relaxation and Stress Reduction: The soothing tones produced by crystal sound bowls can induce a state of deep relaxation, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.
2. Meditation Aid: Many people use crystal sound bowls as an aid in meditation practice, as the tones can help clear the mind and facilitate a deeper meditative experience.
3. Chakra Balancing: Some practitioners believe that specific tones produced by crystal bowls correspond to the body’s chakras, and playing the bowls can help balance these energy centers.
4. Sound Healing: Advocates of sound healing believe that the vibrations produced by crystal bowls can have a therapeutic effect on the body, promoting healing and well-being.
5. Enhanced Focus and Clarity: Listening to the pure tones of crystal sound bowls can help improve concentration and mental clarity, making them useful for activities that require focus and attention.
6. Promotion of Emotional Release: The vibrations produced by crystal bowls may help release emotional blockages and promote a sense of emotional well-being and catharsis.
7. Physical Benefits: Some people report experiencing physical benefits from using crystal sound bowls, such as reduced muscle tension and improved sleep quality.

Overall, while scientific research on the specific benefits of crystal sound bowls is limited, many people find them to be a valuable tool for promoting relaxation, meditation, and overall well-being.

Yesterday a friend reached out and sent me a photo of the full moon over St. Croix. It brought me to a place where I could drum on a full or new moon for the first time since I left St. Croix.

I’m not gonna lie the last 13 months have been the hardest in my adult life. A dark night of the soul. Having to make the decision to leave somebody deeply loved for reasons I’ll never go into publicly, was such an extremely difficult decision. But my health was failing and I deeply needed to breathe. Something I still struggle with.
I don’t know what my future will bring, but I know that I am in deep gratitude for that dark time. I’m in gratitude for the space I created to heal myself by myself. I am no longer in fear or resentment.
Now I now understand what the meaning of sweet surrender is. When we feel we have lost everything it is actually a good place to be. Because it means that we will soon find our way home. Whatever that looks like.
These are gifts beyond description.
And the icing,  I asked Alexa for ecstatic dance music. She immediately played one of my all-time favorite songs. Dancing in the Moonlight. CONFIRMATION
Does it get any better than this?

Mary Thomas was a leader of the 1878 Fireburn in St. Croix. Historically known as “Queen Mary”, she hailed from Antigua but moved to St. Croix in the 1860’s for work on the plantations.

Emancipation occurred in 1848 in the Danish West Indies. But in 1849, a labor law fixed salaries and labor conditions for all plantation workers and prohibited bargaining for better wages or work conditions. Also, it was made hard for newly freed Africans to leave the island due to fees and other “roadblocks”. Overall, conditions did not really improve after Emancipation.

Therefore 30 years later, in 1878, a mass rebellion took place called Fireburn. At least 50 sugar plantations were burned down and most of Frederiksted too. Queen Mary along with a few other women, led this event. Imagine how fed-up Queen Mary had to be to get to this point! This brave soul was tried and eventually imprisoned in Denmark. Around 1887, she was sent back to Christiansted, St. Croix to finish her sentence of life in prison...

“Queen Mary, ah where you gon go burn”?
