A Prayer Bowl is used to listen to our prayers, wishes, and thoughts, and carry them into the universe. Prayer Bowls can also be used to make any room more spiritual, without causing to much attention.

Prayer Bowls are good for the workplace, because to co-workers, it is just a decoration, and for us, it is a magical tool.

A Prayer Bowl is a fairly simple object to make. We take a small bowl that we like, and add some objects that have meaning or that we are drawn to include such as a feather, some crystals or stones, shells, coins, photos, seed pods and even some dirt. Whatever we are drawn to include.

We may choose items for our prayer bowl without a conscious reason, or we may choose to select our items for a specific purpose. For example; The feather may have meaning something to us, perhaps a feather from our power animal, or an animal whose qualities we admire. A feather can also be used to represent the air and spirit elements. Crystals can be chosen based upon the their spiritual of healing properties which may be needed. Crystals can also represents the earth and fire elements.

Specific shells may be chosen for their properties, or may represent the water and spirit elements. Seeds pods may carry the properties of their parent plant or maybe used to represent the earth and spirit elements. Coins may be used to represent abundance, and photos may be of loved one in need of healing. The possible uses of our Prayer Bowl are almost unlimited.

If we choose to include dirt in our Prayer Bowl, it is practical to place the dirt into our Prayer Bowl first, followed by the crystals or stones and so on. However, if we have created a 'Healing Prayer Bowl', we may place a photograph of the person we wish to heal beneath a crystal of stone which carries the appropriate healing energies needed.

The prayer energy is offered into the creation of our Prayer Bowl and offerings by thinking good thoughts, or healing thoughts, or thoughts of forgiveness, or whatever our reason for offering the prayers may be. All must be done with the very best intentions.

After we have established our Prayer Bowl, we need to empower our Prayer Bowl to listen to our prayers. In a dim light room, we light a candle, and gaze into the flame. As the flame burns our prayer energy is carried in to the universe.

After our Prayer Bowl is empowered, we place our Prayer Bowl in an appropriate place. We may place our Prayer Bowl near a window to expose our Prayer Bowl to the elements. However, the most important thing is to place our Prayer Bowl wherever feels 'right'.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Agradezco toda ayuda Susana. Lo que más me está costando es encontrar buenos enlaces en español en que se mencionen. Muchas gracias.

Asker: Habia visto el enlace de Tita Cervera. Es un cuenco de forma antropomorfa que no se parece que nada al mio, por eso dudo. Gracias por todo.

Asker: Muchas gracias Susana. Cuenco ceremonial era una excelente opción. Mi cliente quiso que optara por algo más literal y fue asi como llegamos a "cuenco para orar".
