| WHAT IS SINGING BOWL ? Singing Bowls have been widely used since the ancient times in Nepal and Tibet mostly by the buddhist monks for meditation. Singing bowls, when tapped, hit or rubbed with a wodden mallet or dowel, produces soothing vibrations and sounds that will almost instantly calm our nervous system and put us into a meditative or neutral state of mind which itself condusive to meditation. All of which combine will relieve all forms of stress. Now a days singing bowls are used for medical cures and treatments through applied sound therapy and massage which serve as a basis for holistic healing. |
| HOW TO PLAY SINGING BOWL? 1. Hold the bowl in the palm of either hand without grabbing the sides of the bowl as that is where the vibration comes from. 2. With an even pressure, rub the stricker outside rim in a circular motion without going too fast or too slow. The friction of the stricker against the outer rim produces vibrations which result in sound. Sometimes it is easier to strike the bowl first to get the vibrations going. 3. When the sound reaches its best, comfortably separate the striker from the bowl. 4. FINALLY, Another way is just to strike the bowl with a gong striker that is shown here in the picture. |
