Singing Bowls

Large variety of singing bowls in different sizes with great resonance. Range from Carved Buddha singing bowls (25cm) to smaller 10 cm. Hand-beaten (each with a unique sound and tone) and machine-made with flat design, high sided or curved. These all have a lovely clear sound and are great for singing i.e. slowly rolling beater stick round the rim. Cushions available too. Each bowl comes with a stick.

Singing bowls are used for meditation, music, relaxation and healing, and personal well-being. In Buddhist practices, singing bowls are used as a signal to begin and end periods of silent meditation. Some practitioners use the singing bowl to accompany chanting, striking it when a particular phrase is chanted. In Japan and Vietnam, singing bowls are similarly used during chanting and may also mark the passage of time or signal a change in activity, for example changing from sitting to walking meditation. In Japan, singing bowls are used in traditional funeral rites and ancestor worship.
