Need a great gong? Somrthing with a deep, resonant voice? Sump'thin' like the one used in the Heartfulness series by Fr. Keating? So does everyone else, it seems. If only we had one! All I can do, I'm afraid, is refer ya' somewhere else.

Even more beautiful bells are available in crystal. Not only can ya' choose the size, but the exact musical note ya' want 'em to play. A good place to start is with an eight-inch bowl that sings in "C." That's tuned to the "root" chakra, so they say.
Even though it's called a singing bowl, it can be struck like a bell as well. Or ya' can make 'em sing in the traditional way. Just run the wooden end of the mallet 'round the top of the bowl. Then finish off by striking the bell three times slowly. That's a great way to start centering prayer. Here's where ya' get 'em...

Let me know if ya' have any trouble. I know how much they mean to ya'. It's such a great way to start and stop centering prayer I even think it's good for your heart. It's like pushing the calm button. All your worries fly right out the window while your carefree heart practically hums with the deep, mellow resonance of this enchanted fairytale of a bell...either one of 'em!
