About singing bowls

Singing bowls are a powerful tool for releasing physical tension and easing mental anxiety. The sounds of the bowls go beyond the audible – they touch, balance and bring us home to ourselves.

The sound of the singing bowl is created through an interaction between the composition of the metal, the size of the bowl and its thickness. This unique combination creates naturally varying tones and rich overtones that resonate deep in the body and invite the mind into a state of calm and stillness.

The sounds stimulate the brain to produce alpha waves – the same waves we experience in deep relaxation and meditative states.

When the bowl is struck, the listener is enveloped in a soft, almost bell-shaped sound atmosphere that creates space for centered presence – both physical and psychological.

The deep tones of larger bowls create a sonic foundation where the mind and nervous system begin to settle. Worries and thoughts dissolve and a quiet presence is allowed to emerge. In other words, the calming vibrations of a large singing bowl make it easier to shift from a state of fear and stress to one of comfort and calm.
