144 WAVES – Little Meditation Bells – Meditation Bells

I have always admired masters of their craft, whether men or women. For me, creating and shaping materials is a universe-given gift. We have an opportunity to return to our childhood years, when everything was new and waiting to be discovered. When we first held a piece of modeling clay in our hands, our imagination brought forth an object that we tried to create.

Today, after many years of creating and working in different fields and professions, I feel that the saying “The more languages you know, the more times you are a person” holds a profound truth — and that the same can be said of “The more professions you master, the more times you are a person.”

I love creating with many different materials, but I feel most connected to working with wood, metal, and glass. I am also deeply inspired by giving new purpose to materials that are no longer needed, sometimes even discarded. To breathe new life and give a new face to an object that is already considered nothing more than waste.

WE PLAY IN A PENTATONIC SCALE – our meditation instruments are created using pentatonic tuning

Pentatonic Scale – Supporting Children's Development and Creativity, Relieving Mental Tension…

Because the pentatonic scale contains no tense semitone relationships, it does not create inner tension within the human psyche.

The player simply plays and is freed from the need to resolve the music in a particular way.

With the pentatonic scale, everything simply flows, leading to deep relaxation and, above all, the alleviation of anxiety.

A person experiences a sense of safety, which naturally supports the nervous system without any conscious effort.

Because of its simple and natural character, the pentatonic scale is very intuitive (and therefore beneficial) for the human organism. For example, in Waldorf education, the pentatonic scale is one of its key elements.

It develops rhythm and imagination, slows down and does not overburden the nervous system, thereby supporting healthy psychological development and inner balance.

Little Meditation Bells

Creative craftsmanship of musical sound instruments for healing the soul…

…these are sound waves… perhaps meditation tubes, if you like… tuned according to sacred numbers left behind by wise, ancient civilizations…

144 WAVES… that is the number, and the wave…

You can ride the wave like a surfer when you allow yourself to become a child again for a moment — a child who does not lie to themselves and knows and feels that they can sing, play, and create in the best way possible…

Every one of you can truly play these waves when you allow yourself to be guided solely by your intuition and imagination, and for a moment let go of the mind…

The sound waves are made up of nine aluminium rods, each one a unique original and never identical in design, while the sound and its tuning remain the same…

Essentially, you can also feel free to share your own vision for the design of your wave with us and create something truly personal.

We feel that so many new things are being created in the world that we have decided to follow the path of pure RECYCLING…

An Ostrava-based company that manufactures aluminium fences supplies us with the aluminium rods — these are their offcuts.

We collect old jeans, sturdy colourful fabrics, and even old coats from friends, and we also have original bags specially made so that each little wave can slip into its own little home…

We have involved several other people in our creative process — people who are creative and share a similar vision and sensibility to ours.

The sound waves are intended for everyone. They can be harmonized with all musical instruments (tuned to a frequency of 432 Hz) and can be used in any space.

At a client's request, I can also create little meditation bells in other tunings, such as 440 Hz and others.

They are intended not only for individuals, but can also become part of nurseries, schools, workshops, companies, and they are especially beautiful in gardens and outdoor spaces.

Friendly price for the Little Meditation Bells: CZK 5,184 (including the mallet and carrying bag). (12 × 432 = 5,184)

REFERENCE,FEEDBACK:

”I would like to share the magical power of the little meditation bells from Panna Maria ve Skále that I got from you. Whenever I experience any kind of pain, especially now after the abdominal surgery instead of taking pain medication, I sit by the bells and play them — sometimes for 10 minutes, sometimes for almost an hour. Every time, the pain subsides and soon disappears completely. ”

”THANK YOU SO MUCH. UNTIL NOW, I HAD NO IDEA HOW POWERFUL THE BELLS I GOT FROM YOU COULD BE. ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO!!” Martin B. – Klatovy

MEDITATION BELLS – The Touch of Heaven

Designed for larger spaces (ZEN GARDENS, RELAXATION AREAS, SPAS, GALLERIES, CITIES, PARKS, SENIOR HOMES, SCHOOLS, etc.)

The bells have a deeper tone and a long sustain, beautifully complementing the little meditation bells mentioned above. On their own, however, they are harmonious standalone instruments that resonate throughout a space tuned to 432 Hz, while gently softening and harmonizing our inner world, bringing us into the present moment.

At a client's request, I can also create Meditation Bells in other tunings, such as 440 Hz and others.

I love playing with numbers, and Pythagoras continues to be one of my greatest teachers and an enduring source of inspiration. The bells and wind chimes are tuned according to his principles of harmonic tuning. In his honour, I decided to create both wind chimes and meditation bells using only nine tones. Pythagoras regarded the number nine as a kind of culmination.

For the Meditation Bells, I selected a beautiful sequence of nine PENTATONIC tones, with each individual bell also producing its overtone, tuned to a perfect fourth.

The first tone is D, with a frequency of 144 Hz, accompanied by the overtone G at 387 Hz.

Just a brief note here: The number 144 is the twelfth significant number in the Fibonacci sequence, which reveals one of the fundamental patterns of growth found not only in nature, but also within ourselves. I write more about this in the section Sacred Geometry – Healthy Shapes.

The second tone is E, with a frequency of 161 Hz, accompanied by the overtone A at 434 Hz.

The third tone is F♯, with a frequency of 182 Hz, accompanied by the overtone B at 486 Hz.

The fourth tone is A, with a frequency of 214–217 Hz, accompanied by the overtone D at 574 Hz.

The fifth tone is B, with a frequency of 243 Hz, accompanied by the overtone E at 645 Hz.

The sixth tone is D, with a frequency of 287 Hz, accompanied by the overtone G at 762 Hz.

The seventh tone is E, with a frequency of 322–325 Hz, accompanied by the overtone A at 855 Hz.

The eighth tone is F♯, with a frequency of 363 Hz, accompanied by the overtone B at 961 Hz.

“Hello, human being,

You are standing before the meditation bells so that you can pause.

So take a breath, breathe out, and try being a child for a while….

Meditation bells are an intuitive instrument that always finds its harmony when a human hand brings them to life with a mallet.

Take the mallet and start tapping.

Begin gently, and then, with courage, tap a little more firmly.

Close your eyes for a moment, listen deeply, and then try all the tubes.

Let yourself be guided and don't think about anything.

Just play and be aware of what you feel inside.

Perhaps a sense of calm is coming, you can feel gentle vibrations, and also the feeling that your feet are standing firmly on the ground…

And yet your head is somewhat in the clouds, while you remain grounded and in tune with your heart.

The sound you have created is healthy, natural, and in harmony with the human body, with nature, and with the cosmic energy present in this space.

When you leave, thank yourself for taking the time to pause…

Perhaps things will begin to happen afterwards… and you will come again.”
