Singing Bowls Therapy is an ancient healing system. Singing bowls are used worldwide for meditation, relaxation and personal well-being. These bowls are placed on or near the body and tapped gently with a felt mallet to make them resonate, vibrate or sing, creating entrancing energy. The soothing, gentle sound encourages deep states of relaxation and clarity.
Commonly known as “Tibetan”, the singing bowls actually originate in various Himalayan regions including Tibet, Nepal, India and Bhutan. Authentic singing bowls are hand-made ceremonially from a consecrated seven-metal alloy, with each metal representing one of the seven planets in our solar system.
This treatment quickly induces deep relaxation, energizes, stimulates mental clarity and creates a feeling of lightness. If the recipient is in good health, this therapy can support their inner harmony and provide strength for everyday tasks, while boosting creativity and productivity. With physical and emotional issues, singing bowl therapy helps bring relief from pain and anxiety. This therapy can also help in recovery from addictions, migraine headaches, PMS symptoms, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental stress.
Stress is at the root of many diseases – emotional well-being and physical health are indivisible. It’s believed that sound from the bowls trains the brain to move into deeper brain wave frequencies which induce meditative, peaceful states and clarity of mind. It’s important to remember that singing bowl therapy uses sound as a way to trigger the healing mechanisms in the body.
Singing bowls facilitate our own process of growth and healing, but have no ability to heal on their own – they need us to perform their function. The bowls vibrate, we do the rest.
