About Spectrum Wellbeing
The founders of Spectrum Wellbeing are energy
healers. The retail operation was developed initially to carry a range of
products that healers would find useful to buy. The product range has evolved subsequently
to include a wide range of items such as wooden Buddhas,
wind chimes, rainsticks, incense, mood rings, Angel
products, cards, ritual bells, essential oil burners, etc., and the business
is now operated as an online Shop. A
number of Fairtrade items are included in the
product range.
Items purchased can be posted or shipped all over
the world. As Spectrum Wellbeing is a
family run business, friendly personal service is given. If you need
information about any of the products for sale or need guidance on matters
such as shipping, you are welcome to contact Spectrum Wellbeing by phone, fax
or e-mail.

Crystals
  Spectrum
Wellbeing carry a wide range of crystals including points, clusters, tumblestones, natural specimens and polished crystal
shapes.
The owners of the business have many years’ experience
of packing customers’ crystals so that they do not get damaged in the post.
You can place your orders with confidence that they will reach you in good
condition.
I include some simple crystal healing in all of my
teaching courses and I have found all of the techniques that I use to be
helpful in the healing situation. If you need a set of clear quartz crystals
to work with the antahkarana healing grids that we
cover in the courses, Spectrum Wellbeing will be able to help you. If you
also need some larger lumps of crystals to build the energy pyramids that I
show you, you are welcome to make enquiries for anything that you would like
but cannot find in the Online Shop.
Spectrum Wellbeing will be able to help with the
smaller singing crystals that I use for the meridian grids.
Crystal Pendants
 I usually use crystal
pendants to take readings of the energy fields of people I am working with. I
find it quite helpful to obtain visible indications of what is going on in a
person’s energy field to support any intuitive or psychic perceptions about
the energy field. Sometimes, it is helpful for a person receiving a healing
session to see what a crystal pendant is indicating about their energy field
as it helps them to engage in the healing process.
Pendants
made from various crystals are included in the Spectrum Wellbeing product
range. If you are looking for a pendant made from a particular crystal which
you cannot see on the website, you are welcome to enquire about availability.
Crystal Bowls
In all energy healing courses that I hold I give a
brief demonstration of how crystal bowls may be brought into the healing
environment.
Crystal
bowls are made from highly purified quartz powder which is fused together into
physical shape at high temperature.
There are different sorts of crystal bowls and they are made using
different processes.
Each quartz bowl comes with a rubber ring. When a
bowl is placed on its rubber ring, it is played by running a suede or wooden
stick around the outside rim. The energy of the friction between the stick
and the surface of the bowl is released from the bowl as sound.
The quartz crystal in the bowls has balanced
electrical and magnetic properties and balanced elemental properties of
earth, air, fire and water. The quartz may be infused with any of the healing
energies and symbols before being played. Different sizes of bowl create
different musical pitches so it is possible to buy several bowls all with
different musical pitches which will resonate with the differing energy
frequencies of the various human chakras. When played, the bowls will release
into the healing environment the energy of the quartz, any healing energies
and symbols that have been infused into the bowls, and the musical pitch of the
bowl.
The bowls need to be treated gently to prevent them
shattering. Provided that they are treated with respect, they should have a
long life.
The Spectrum Wellbeing website gives further
information about the bowls.
Those people who go on to teach the energies and
who have the space to keep a number of crystal bowls might like to buy a set.
Frosted Quartz Crystal
Singing Bowls
 Frosted quartz crystal
singing bowls are the most common type of crystal bowl and are so named
because of their translucent rather than transparent appearance. This type of
bowl was developed for growing quartz crystals to be made into silicon chips.
Absolute purity and cleanliness are essential for this so the quartz powdered
used for making these bowls is highly purified - only a few parts per million
of impurities are allowable.
The bowls are made using a
carbon mould. This is spun and a metal arm follows the shape of the mould a
few millimetres from the inside surface. Quartz
powder is poured in to the rotating mould. Electricity causes an arc to jump
to the mould and the heat from this fuses together
the particles of quartz to form the bowl. This is all done in an enclosed
computer controlled machine. The crystal bowl is removed from the mould when
it has cooled and the top rim is cut to height. Looking at frosted bowls you
can see the graininess on the outside caused by the small pieces of quartz
used in its construction. The inside of the bowl has a smoothed and polished
appearance caused by the electric arc. Frosted bowls are in larger sizes from
about 10 inches (30cm) upwards.
The bowls are generally
played with a rubber ball stick and a ring is used to hold them steady as the
base is rounded. The playing stick and ring can be seen in this photo. Please
click here
to read the usage guidelines for these bowls on the Spectrum website.
 Clear Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls
Clear quartz crystal
singing bowls are made from pieces of clear quartz tubing. A length of tubing
is cut and fitted on a lathe. As the lathe slowly turns burners heat the
quartz so that the shape of the crystal singing bowl is formed. This is a
highly skilled process. Clear bowls are played with a different kind of
rubber ball stick shown in the photo which uses much harder rubber than for
the frosted bowls. Like the frosted bowl it sits on a rubber ring (not
illustrated) to keep it steady and to make it easier to play.
 Quartz Crystal Practitioner Bowls
The photograph shows a
Quartz Crystal Practitioner Bowl upside down. It is a clear singing bowl
mounted on a tube handle. The handle is welded to the clear bowl. Other
producers of practitioner bowls have had problems caused by a weakness where
the heat used to weld the handle has set up a stress causing breakages to
happen. Spectrum Wellbeing’s manufacturer has
perfected this process and removes the stresses after the welding.
Practitioner bowls are
played by holding the handle in one hand and using a hard rubber ball stick
(illustrated in the clear bowl picture above) to produce the sound. Obviously
no rubber ring is needed.
Singing Bowls
 Spectrum Wellbeing stock a range of high
quality metal Tibetan singing bowls as shown on the left which are produced
in Nepal. When a playing stick is run along the outside rim of the bowl, the
energy of the friction between the stick and the surface of the bowl is
released from the bowl as sound. As with the crystal bowls, the singing bowls
may be infused with any of the healing energies and symbols before being
played. When played, the bowls will release into the healing environment any
healing energies and symbols that have been infused into the bowls and the
sound of the bowl. The Tibetan bowls supplied by Spectrum Wellbeing are hand
beaten and produce more complex notes than hand made bowls. These bowls are
sold be weight and a good selection of stock is usually carried.
 The small Japanese style
Tibetan singing bowls shown on the right are also supplied. These are in the style
of bowls used in some Japanese temples.
They are made in Nepal
and are supplied in a box complete with a quilted mat for the bowl to stand
on and a playing stick. They are available in two sizes. These produce a good
clear sound and make nice gifts.
A playing stick is provided with each singing bowl
purchased. Playing sticks are also
available for purchase separately.
The
note and tone of some bowls may be changed by putting in a little water and
then playing the bowl. Gently swirling the water around as the bowl is played
produces interesting effects. It is best to use spring or bottled water when
doing this.
 The bowls may be held in the palm of
your hand or on your fingertips when being played. Alternatively, Spectrum
Wellbeing supply special Tibetan bowl cushions as shown in the photo. The
cushions are made from brocade fabric in various sizes, colours and patterns.
The bowls are placed in the indented centre which holds the bowl securely but
does not inhibit the resonance when it is played. Not all suppliers of these
bowls stock these cushions and they are not easy to find in the UK.
They are very beautiful so also make good presents for people who have these
singing bowls.
Gift Ideas
Spectrum Wellbeing also have
a range of other products which are ideal for gifts. The selection below is
just a small sample. There are products suitable for both adults and
children. If you are looking for a
present with a difference, you will probably find it in the Online Shop.
