OM Bronze Singing Bowl
SKU: SB0011
This Singing bowl is used to promote relaxation. They produce sounds and vibrations when hit or circled with a mallet. Those sounds and vibrations are supposed to help you relax.Therapy and meditation practitioners today use this vibrating bell to produce a rich, deep tone. "They’re generally made out of metal alloys," explains California-based sound healer Guy Douglas. "They are made of about eight to 14 different metal alloys, but the main metal in them usually is bronze.” Those interested in using the bowls in routine meditation can find bowls made from several different metals today, including quartz and even gold.
Singing bowls are designed to be struck with mallets (often referred to as puja) that accompany them, emitting a deep, vibrating tone or a form of music.
“What they are designed to do is cancel out the mind chatter, and allow you to really just experience these very soft, tonal wavelengths of vibration that allow you to ease the mind,” Douglas says. “I find that sound is very effective to bring you to that state of meditation: The vibrations move through you and create the sound of peace.”
It’s been suggested that singing bowls are akin to other forms of sound therapy, and the sounds and vibrations of the bowls help to bring people into a more meditative state.
