Singing Bowls

Greeting!!! AnnaStacia here, I work in a Metaphysical shop in Carson City Nevada called Crimson Moon and we have a ton of Tibetan singing bowls. So I thought I'd try a video demonstration. For me the bowls can be temperamental on my energy on any given day. Sometimes I can make them sing beautifully and some days can't get a peep. Luckily this Throat Chakra bowl was jiving with me.

About Tibetan Singing Bowls

According to Tibetan oral tradition, the existence of singing bowls dates back to the time of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni (560 - 480 B.C.). The tradition was brought from India to Tibet, along with the teachings of the Buddha, by the great tantric master Padmasambhava in the 8th century A.D.

Singing bowls produce sounds which invoke a deep state of relaxation which naturally assists one in entering into meditation, the ultimate goal being enlightenment. They are a quintessential aid to meditation, and can be found on private Buddhist altars, and in temples, monasteries and meditation halls throughout the world.

Metallurgical analysis have varied. The original analysis we know of from Concordia University, Quebec is an eight metal alloy of copper and tin with traces of iron, lead, zinc, gold, silver and mercury.

In addition to their traditional usage for meditation, Tibetan singing bowls are used for deep relaxation, stress reduction, holistic healing, Reiki, chakra balancing, and World music. Many people find that the rich blend of harmonic overtones which the bells produce have a direct affect upon their chakras.

Playing the bells usually causes an immediate centering effect. The tones set up a "frequency following response" that creates a balancing left/right brain synchronization. Meditating on the subtle sounds of the Tibetan singing bowl tunes one in to the universal sound within and without.

This is Luminessa's bowl

These are mine.

Singing bowls have a very different effect for everyone. Some people are very soothed by the deep humming and some people are very disturbed by it. It may be from unaligned or blocked chakras or sensitive ears, I'm not sure. But I fully recommend trying them at least once.
