Traditional uses
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. 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. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest. They are not health or medical claims.
How to use it
- To use the Large Nepalese Moon Bowl - (approx 850g) - 17cm: Tap the outside wall gently with the mallet to wake the bowl.
