Tibetan Singing Bowls
Tibetan Singing Bowls
While we use these decorated metal bowls to accent our table decor, they actually are said to have wider uses (see explanation below).
Variations: Small - 16cm diameter x 9cm deep. Medium - 19cm diameter x 9cm deep. Large - 21cm diameter x 11cm deep.
Tibetan singing bowls are a type of bell that vibrates and produces a rich, deep tone when played. Also known as singing bowls or Himalayan bowls, Tibetan singing bowls are said to promote relaxation and offer powerful healing properties. People use Tibetan singing bowls for many purposes, including stress reduction and pain relief. Some people use the bowls in combination with other healing practices, such as meditation and deep breathing.
To create sound with a singing bowl, firmly press the accompanying mallet in a circular motion against the bowl's outside edge or rim. When you hear a bright, clear tone, you can slow down the motion. Use your full arm to make the motion, rather than just rotating your wrist. You can also make the same circular motion against the outside belly of the bowl. Additionally, you can gently strike the bowl before beginning the circular motion.
