Tibetan Singing Bowls
Tibetan singing bowls (also called “Himalayan bowls”) have been used by monks as
part of Buddhist meditation for hundreds of years. The bowls, which are handmade of
metal and come in a variety of sizes, are played by striking the edge or rubbing (or
“stirring”) the inside surface. According to tradition, singing bowls produce no sound if
they are played incorrectly, but, when played correctly, produce a smooth, relaxing
sound that is beneficial to the chakras of both player and listeners.
