If you are interested in enhancing your well-being and inner peace, singing bowls can make a powerful, positive impact on your everyday life. These ancient bowls emit sound and vibration when played by striking a baton on their exteriors. The resulting calm, meditative and pure effect of the “song” supports many people’s wellness pursuits. Chakra and holistic healing, feng shui, reiki, releasing fears, sound therapy and stress relief are just some of the areas of application.

Used in religious and meditation practices for more than 1500 years, singing bowls are often associated with Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhism. Craftspeople traditionally make Tibetan singing bowls from alloys that contain precious metals. Each metal corresponds with a specific planet: copper/Venus, iron/Mars, lead/Saturn, mercury/Mercury, silver/the moon, tin/Jupiter and gold/the sun. In recent years, these bowls have made their way into mainstream culture, been featured on TV and social media and are portrayed in films, magazines and photoshoots.
While singing bowls are traditionally made of metal alloy, many are made of crystal. They also come in a variety of sizes and shapes, which complement most environments and living or meditation spaces. They are also portable, making them easy to tote with you or take on the road. Whether you choose a stand-alone singing bowl or a boxed set that includes a baton and pillow, you are investing in a relaxation tool that can enhance your wellness and sense of peace.
In addition to their wellness benefits, singing bowls also bring a calming aesthetic to any environment. As pieces of functional art, they can add interest and conversation to your everyday life. A singing bowl not only makes a thoughtful and unique lifetime gift for yourself but also for your loved ones and valued practitioners. Consider gifting a bowl to a recent graduate, a retiring friend, your longtime therapist or a faithful housesitter.
