Materials and size
Size: approximately 18cm. Allow for small variations between batches.
Traditional uses
Engraved designs such as mandalas, the Om symbol or the Buddha are decorative and devotional; they reflect the traditions the bowls come from. In meditation and sound practice, the bowl's fading tone is used as a focal point, and bowls are often played at the beginning and end of a session. Singing bowls are associated with the Himalayan region. Bowls made there have traditionally been hand-hammered or cast from metal alloys, and many carry engraved mantras or symbols. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, never as a health or medical claim.
How to use it
To use the Large Black Beaten Bowl - 18cm: Circle the rim slowly with even pressure; once it starts to sing, keep the speed steady.

Place the bowl on a cushion or your flat, open palm.
Tap the outside wall gently with the mallet to wake the bowl.
Care
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use; skin oils can mark the metal.
