If you’re looking for new ways to meditate and relax, this practice can be beneficial for many reasons. If you have yet to learn what singing bowls are for and the benefits of using them, let us provide you with some knowledge!
Singing Bowls
Singing bowls, also known as Himalayan or Tibetan bowls, are an ancient way of regenerating the body and mind. It’s also a sound therapy that can provide relief from stress in the body and mind. Aside from using them as a practice of meditation, singing bowls offer physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. They come in various sizes which produce different sounds and vibrations. They’re made with various materials like copper, bronze, gold, silver, iron, and other earth metals.
How to Use One
Now that you know what singing bowls are, it’s time to learn how to use them! There are two ways to produce their vibrational sounds. A wooden or leather-wrapped mallet is used to slowly rub around the rim or outside edge in a circular motion. It’s best to use the full motion in your arm to do this for the full benefit of sound, as opposed to just using your wrist. Another option is striking the bowl with the mallet for a richer tone and vibration.
Benefits of Using a Singing Bowl
Mental Benefits
It’s been scientifically proven that singing bowls give off wave patterns similar to the alpha waves made by our brain. Alpha waves are most common and present during a relaxed consciousness along with meditation. When you listen to these waves, you can experience better concentration, more mental energy and clarity. It can also ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and other emotional pains.
Spiritual Benefits
After using this practice of sound therapy, many come to experience a better balance of harmony and an overall positive feeling towards life and self. The use of singing bowls also offer a cleansing of chakras and can lead the way towards a higher vibration of love.
