I recently bought a huge Tibetan singing bowl from eBay - great price, and the piece is very impressive. I've read a little about these singing bowls- they're supposed to have curative healing powers. How do I play the bowl properly to gain maximum benefit?
The bowl I bought is tuned to 'D' - the sacral chakra., if I'm not mistaken. It sings very easily- I barely have to touch the outside rim with the wooden striker before it starts humming.
well i'm guessing it's pretty huge,I have one that's tuned to A for the third eye and it's significantly smaller. What i do is hold it in my left hand (improvise if your bowl is real big) and strike it, Or you can rub the mallet around the outside edge to get a good humming sound. (I find it easier to use wooden mallets here because i get better sound) What you're ideally looking for is two sounds. A low sound and a high sound. A harmonic. If you have both sounds you know you're doing it right. This harmonic is going to correspond to your sacral chakra. This works because the frequency that the bowl is emitting is matching and 'tuning' your chakra to the bowl. It really does depend on if you have a good quality bowl though.
