About Tibetan Singing
Bowls
The sound made by the singing bowls is both captivating and
calming, and the bowls are frequently used as a meditation aid. One reason for
this is that the sound emitted by the bowls seems to instantly instill a sense of trance-like calm. The Tibetan Singing Bowls were also used during meditation practice to reinforce one of the most important
concepts of Buddhism, that of being mindful, of staying present in the moment.
The singing quality is an important part of the Tibetan Singing Bowl’s history. In Buddhism and in Hinduism, sound is an important part of spiritual practice. In the Buddhist doctrine, there are nine methods of realization to reaching enlightenment. The seventh way is sound. For this reason the sound produced
by the bowls were used by Buddhist practitioners as part of their religious ritual and music.
The Tibetan bowls are traditionally composed of an alloy containing seven different metals. Each metal carries it’s own vibratory resonance and healing power.
Tibetan bowls have been shown to have the power to influence the cells of the body in a positive and healing
manner, even at the level of our DNA.
