Tibetan Singing Bowl - Hand Hammered

HISTORY

Tibetan singing bowls are a type of bell that vibrates and produces a deep, rich sound when struck. Also known as singing bowls or Himalayan bowls, Tibetan singing bowls are known for promoting relaxation and offering powerful therapeutic properties.

Buddhist monks have long used Tibetan singing bowls in their meditation practices. Some professionals, such as music therapists, massage therapists, and yoga teachers, also use Tibetan singing bowls in their treatments.

Very few scientific studies have examined the true potential of Tibetan singing bowls despite their long history of use.

One of these studies, conducted by the American Journal of Health in 2014, examined the benefits of using a Tibetan singing bowl during a ten-minute relaxation session compared to a silent guided relaxation session.

This study found a greater reduction in systolic blood pressure and heart rate in those who used a Tibetan singing bowl. The results showed a significant reduction in stress among these participants.

BENEFITS

Tibetan singing bowls are used for relaxation and meditation to improve concentration and help focus internally on the sound they produce. They can help reduce anxiety and promote deep relaxation.

It is the vibration and purity of the sound that provides this strong concentration by allowing you to clear your mind.

Combined with meditation or yoga, the Tibetan singing bowl will have a profound impact on well-being and the intensity of relaxation. It can also be used during a massage or to release mental tension before a nap.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

To create a sound with a bowl, place the bowl in the palm of your hand or on a cushion adapted to the size of the bowl (the advantage of a small bowl that is played directly in the hand is that you can feel the vibrations of the bowl and, therefore, better feel the deep sense of well-being that it transmits).

Press the mallet firmly against the inner or outer wall of the bowl and follow with a circular motion. When a clear tone is produced by this motion, gradually slow down. It is advisable to use your whole arm for greater comfort, not just your wrist.

Use the vibration of the bowl once or twice at the beginning of the meditation session, and then once or three times at the end of the session.

When using larger bowls, it is advisable to gently tap the bowl before starting the circular motion to achieve a clear vibration.

Then let the sound continue, focusing your mind and body on the gentle resonance until the end.
