singing bowls

The tradition of singing bowls, also called healing bowls, dates back to 2,000 BC in Asia. Singing bowls consist of an alloy of seven different metals, each of which is assigned to an astrological planet and therefore differs in the range of the sound and its overtones.
These seven metals are gold for the Sun, mercury for Mercury, copper for Venus, iron for Mars, tin for Jupiter, and lead for Saturn. The shape of these bowls varies in size, depth, color, and circumference.
Singing bowls can be used as cooking vessels, offering bowls, percussion instruments, and meditation and relaxation. The special thing about singing bowls is that they not only produce a special sound, but also special vibrations.
According to science, music can have a direct impact on mood, brain waves, the nervous system, and body chemistry. Music plays a key role in the spirituality and religion of many cultures and is also used to aid sleep and digestion and to reduce mental disorders.
The vibration of the singing bowl can stimulate the body to restore its own frequency of harmony and help generate alpha waves, which are present in the brain when we are in deep relaxation.
Singing bowls of all sizes are used by many to cleanse the atmosphere in a room of negative energies, not least to release emotional blockages.
Many people feel deeply touched and purified when they hear and feel the sound of the singing bowls. Others describe this state of sound experience as “time stands still” – a feeling of deep peace and harmony.
It is said that renowned Tibetan masters use the sound of singing bowls in secret rituals, gaining freedom from their material bodies thanks to the sound of singing bowls. There is a connection between bowls and Ayurvedic Music Therapy and Ayurvedic Medicine.
Nepalese women eat their meals from singing bowls to absorb lost minerals and iron.
There are five basic techniques for playing singing bowls: hitting, circling, pouring water, pouring soundless vowels, and spinning.
Singing bowls are called Tagoo in Mongolia, Jala Tarang and Ghatam in India and China, and Noot in Kashmir.

The seven phases of complete singing bowl relaxation include first the head, then the arms, third the neck, fourth the back, then the stomach and chest, sixth the face, and then a circle to the neck. Effects of singing bowl relaxation:

– Promotion of energy balance
– Reduction of stress and agitation
–  Resolution of tension
–  Increase in creativity and imagination
– Increase in vitality
–  Balancing the brain region
–  Harmonization of body, mind, and soul

Encouraging self-esteem and assertiveness Hold the singing bowl in the palm of your left hand, tap the mallet lightly on the side of the bowl. Using an even pressure, rub the brass knuckles around the outside edge of the rim of the bowl. Use a full arm motion, just like a cauldron of soup, and keep the striker straight up and down. It’s not a wrist move, it’s a full arm move. Remember to apply pressure – the friction of the bat against the outer rim creates vibrations which result in a sound. Let the sound rise slowly while the singing bowl picks up the vibration
