Tibetan singing bowls
Discover new meditation and relaxation practices with the Tibetan Singing Bowl.
The Tibetan Singing Bowl is a traditional Tibetan worship object (from Tibet, Nepal or Bhutan). Since the dawn of time, it is used by Buddhist shamans in sacred incantations. Nowadays, it is widely used in the context of gentle therapies such as transcendental meditation or sophrology.
Indeed, the singing of the Tibetan bowl produces particular sound waves that cross our body and promote the meditative state, well-being, relaxation.
What are the benefits of Tibetan singing bowl?
Sophrologists and other therapists of alternative and alternative medicine generally use the Tibetan Singing Bowl to combat the following problems:
Stress, recurrent tiredness, malaise.
Depression, traumatic shock, and other psychological disorders.
Insomnia and sleep disorders.
Hearing disorders, recurrent tinnitus.
Muscle or joint pain and tension.
From an energetic point of view, the sound waves of the singing bowl allow us to refocus and harmonize our 7 main chakras, and thus to free the knots and points of tension that have formed during emotional storms, painful episodes of life, or phases of repression.
The singing bowl is therefore a tool that, during meditation sessions or relaxation, will help us reconnect with our "deep self", our essence, to access a benefactor awakening: to be internally aware that in the universe everything is connected, and that every living being, including ourselves, is a small part of this whole thing.
How to choose a singing bowl?
This question is often approached in an overly complex way by the meditation or relaxation specialists: it is sometimes advisable to choose a bowl according to the musical note that it produces, which will act mainly on this or that chakra; or its size, because the big bowls usually produce serious songs, and the smaller ones, sharp songs.
Yet, all therapists agree that the best way to choose a singing bowl is to rely on the principle of attraction. We advise you here to choose your Tibetan singing bowl according to this method, ie by trusting your instinct: choose the bowl that attracts you most, the one you find the most beautiful! Because this premonition is certainly the manifestation of an invisible but very real link, which is created between the object and yourself.
How to use a Tibetan singing bowl?
First, determine how you will position yourself to use your singing bowl:
In sitting position.
In standing up position.
While lying on your back (you can then place the bowl on your stomach, or on your chest).
In the back massage position (in this case, it is another person who will make the bowl sing on your back).
Choose the position that inspires you the most, or test them all to feel the bowl singing in different ways.
When you have chosen the position in which you want to use the singing bowl, place it in the palm of your hand, fingers outstretched. Then, with the other hand, grasp the mallet (with the right hand if you are right-handed, or conversely if you are left-handed). Knock the bowl with the mallet. First very slowly, then louder, until you have found the perfect gesture, the one that triggers the prettiest sound.
This first step, which involves finding the right way to hit the bowl with the mallet, may require several attempts. It is necessary to persevere while varying significantly the gestures. Once you have found the right gesture, there will be no doubt, because the singing bowl will produce a sound of beauty, almost crystalline.
Once you have managed to trigger this "magic" sound, the second step is to extend it, so as to really make the bowl sing.
Now that you have mastered the technique, hit the bowl with the mallet in the right way, so that it produces that particular sound, then proceed without delay by spinning the mallet all around the outside edge of the bowl, keeping it constantly a slight friction. Again, you may have to make several attempts before you succeed. When this gesture is perfectly executed, the bowl will literally begin to sing. This song is a little like that of bohemian crystal.
In the unanimous opinion, the fact of succeeding in triggering the singing of the bowl, then listening to it, in an atmosphere conducive to relaxation, causes a feeling of bliss that would cure a lot of trouble!
