Singing bowls are a type of bell, inverted and resting on its top. They are traditionally used in Asia for meditation, music, relaxation, and personal well-being. They are also known as Himalayan bowls.
When played, singing bowls vibrate and produce a rich, deep tone. This is done by striking the side of the bowl or rubbing the rim with a mallet, which produces harmonic overtones. The vibrations from singing bowls can help reduce stress, anxiety, and pain. They can also improve sleep, balance chakras, increase mental clarity, and promote a more peaceful, grounded state of being.
Types of Singing Bowls
There are two main types of singing bowls: Tibetan (made of a seven-metal alloy) and crystal (made of quartz). Each type produces a unique sound and is used for different purposes in sound healing and meditation.
Singing bowls are used in sound therapy and meditation for their ability to produce sounds that invoke a deep state of relaxation and help in healing. They are also used in yoga, music therapy, stress relief, and personal well-being.
