About Singing Bowl:
The traditional of singing bowls dates back to the period of Buddha Shakyamuni (560-480 BC). The tradition was brought from Nepal to Tibet, along with the teachings of the Buddha, by the great tantric master Padmasambhava in the 8th century Ad.
Buddhist monks have long used Tibetan singing bowls in meditation practice. In addition, some wellness practitioners (including music therapists, massage therapists, and yoga therapists) use Tibetan singing bowls during treatment.
Singing bowls produce sounds, which invoke a deep state of relaxation and assists in meditation.
How to Use a Singing Bowl?
Hold the singing bowl on the palm of the left hand. Gently tap the striker against the side of the bowl. With an even pressure, rub the striker clockwise around the outside edge of the rim of the bowl. Use a full arm movement just like stirring a big kettle of soup and keep the striker straight up and down. It’s not a wrist movement, but a full-arm movement.
You can also make the same circular motion against the outside belly of the bowl. Additionally, you can gently strike the bowl before beginning the circular motion.
