Introduction

This is your complete guide to using your new Tibetan singing bowl! In this guide, we discuss the benefits of your singing bowl, how to play it, and how a portion of profits will help non-profit organizations that work to provide meditation and mindfulness practices to at-risk communities. Let's dive in!

Benefits

Singing bowls have incredible healing effects and are widely recommended by health practitioners. The vibrations created by a singing bowl benefit the body by reducing stress, positively affecting the nervous and immune systems, inhibiting pain, combating depression, and balancing the chakras.             

In Ayurvedic medicine, illness is caused by disharmony within the body. Because matter is energy that vibrates at different rates, the structure of matter can be changed by altering the rate of vibration. The body and mind are healthy when they vibrate in harmony.                 

When you play a singing bowl, the vibrations cause the right and left sides of your brain to synchronize and emit alpha and theta brain waves in synchronicity with the vibrations emanating from your singing bowl. Theta brainwaves are essential to healing the body and mind and create an experience commonly known as “being in the zone”. This synchronization brings your body and mind into harmony and helps you enter deep meditative states, receive intuitive messages, and engage in creative thinking.

How to Play a Singing Bowl

Playing a Tibetan singing bowl or a crystal singing bowl for the first time can be challenging, but with a little practice, it can be easy, fun and rewarding!

There are two ways to play a singing bowl. The first is to strike the side of the bowl with a mallet. The second is to rub the rim of the bowl with a mallet. In this blog post we explain each method more thoroughly as well as some advanced techniques you can also explore once you become more familiar with playing singing bowls. These methods work with both a Tibetan and crystal singing bowl.
