Singing Bowls are one of the ancient Tibetan MEDITATION tools. The vibrations of the singing bowls have the same wavelength found in the brainwaves that produce feelings of RELAXATION. The pure sounds produced when the wooden rim is rubbed by the mallet is said to put the brain at rest. Ideal for MINDFULNESS meditation exercises.TThe bowls are handmade in NEPAL and are made of PANCHALOGA: literally translated from Sanskrit as Five Metals. The metal alloys contain copper, tin, zinc, iron and other metals. HOW TO PLAY SINGING BOWL Rubbing a Bowl A singing bowl can be played by rubbing wooden or a leather covered mallet can be used. Place the bowl on your flat palm and move the mallet slowly in a clockwise direction. If the bowl is too large or heavy you can place it on a table or cushion. Use the movement of the elbow and shoulder to move the mallet around the outside mouth of the bowl, keeping the whole mallet in constant contact with the bowl. If you begin to create a rattling sound, this is not desirable, slow down. Striking a bowl A singing bowl can be played by rubbing or striking it. If striking it, sit in a relaxed position with your back straight, on a chair or cushion on the floor. If right handed, hold the bowl on the palm of the left hand at the level of your heart. Keep the hand that is holding the bowl flat. Take a deep breath and think only of your breathing as you begin to play. Strike the bowl with an upward stroke.
