Singing bowls, also known as Himalayan bowls , are used in yoga, music therapy, sound healing, and religious ceremonies. In the Buddhist tradition, they are played to signal the beginning and the end of silent meditation cycles. Tibetan bowls emit very pure tones, close to sine waves. Their sound is a synonym of purity for our ears. Like a bell, the tone is produced by striking the side of the bowl with a wooden mallet. By running the mallet around the bowl - only with slight pressure - a pure tone will eventually rise. When this happens, the bowl is said to sing - hence its name. This is a 7 metal handmade Bronze sing bowl made by the process of hand Hammering. This singing bowl can be used for Meditation, sound therapy, Healing therapy, and chakra awakening.
HANDMADE SINGING BOWLSMaking a handmade bronze singing bowl is a time-honored tradition that involves several stages. The process starts with the creation of a metal alloy, which is typically made of copper and tin. The metal is then melted down and poured into a mold, where it is shaped into a bowl. Once the bowl has been formed, it is subjected to a series of hammering and shaping processes to refine its shape and thickness. This is where the expertise of the craftsman comes into play, as they use their skills to produce a bowl with a balanced tone and resonant sound.The finished bowl is then polished to a high shine and may be adorned with intricate designs and symbols that are significant in Buddhist or Hindu tradition.
The use of handmade bronze singing bowls in healing, meditation, and chakra balancing is based on the idea that sound can have a profound impact on the body and mind. When played, the bowls produce a rich, harmonious sound that is said to stimulate the chakras and bring balance to the body's energy centers. The sounds produced by the singing bowl are believed to help calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote relaxation, making them a valuable tool in meditation and mindfulness practices.
In addition, the vibrations produced by the singing bowl are said to have therapeutic benefits, promoting physical and emotional healing by reducing tension, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation. Overall, the use of handmade bronze singing bowls can be an effective and enjoyable way to enhance spiritual and emotional well-being.
HOW TO PLAY TIBETAN SINGING BOWLS
1. Hold the singing bowl on the palm of the left hand. For smaller bowls, seven inches and under, hold on your fingertips.2. Grasp the mallet about mid-length, with all the fingertips pointing downwards and touching the wood. (If you are using one of our padded mallets, the red wool should be on top.) Palm downward.3. Gently tap the mallet against the side of the bowl to "warm-up" the bell.4. With an even pressure, rub the mallet clockwise around the outside edge of the rim of the bowl. Use a full arm movement, just like stirring a big kettle of soup, and keep the mallet straight up and down! Again, it's not a wrist movement, but a full-arm movement.
Remember to apply pressure-- the friction of the mallet against theouter rim produces vibrations which result in sound.
Experiment with your speed. Usually people go too fast! Let the sound build up slowly as the singing bowl picks up the vibration
