Struck or circled around the rim with a mallet, it produces a sustained tone with layered overtones that slowly fades. Green Tara is the female bodhisattva of compassionate action in Tibetan Buddhism, traditionally invoked for protection on journeys; her mantra is Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha. Green is the folk colour of growth, luck and abundance and of the heart chakra. Styling: green brings the outdoors in; pair it with plants, rattan and natural wood. Tara is a female bodhisattva of Tibetan Buddhism associated with compassion and protection. From the maker: This hand-beaten 14cm singing bowl is engraved with Green Tara, a much-loved figure in Buddhist tradition who represents compassion and strength. Her image is etched with care, giving the bowl cultural meaning as well as visual beauty. Size: approximately 14cm. Allow for small variations between batches. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) In meditation and sound practice, the bowl's fading tone is used as a focal point, and bowls are regularly played at the beginning and end of a session. Engraved designs such as mandalas, the Om symbol or the Buddha are decorative and devotional; they reflect the traditions the bowls come from. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim. ## How to use - Tap the outside wall gently with the mallet to wake the bowl. - Circle the rim slowly with even pressure; once it starts to sing, keep the speed steady. - For a softer sound, strike rather than rub, and let each tone fade fully. - Place the bowl on a cushion or your flat, open palm. - Group idea: in sound baths, players space bowls of different sizes around the room for layered tones. - Practice tip: record yourself playing on your phone; it is the quickest way to hear whether your pressure is steady. - Neighbour tip: rim playing is quieter than striking if you live in a flat. ## Care - Wipe with a fine, dry cloth after use; skin oils can mark the metal. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days. UK addresses only. - Returns: You can cancel within 14 days of delivery under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations; email hello@starseeduk.co.uk to arrange a return and we refund within 14 days of receiving it back. - Payment: Payment is by debit or credit card (and the wallets Shopify supports) through secure Shopify checkout. ## Questions and answers (20) ### What is the Hand Beaten & Engraved Singing Bowl Gift Set Green Tara used for?
