Tibetan Singing Bowls

Origin

Celestial Harmonics have been known to mystics for thousands of years. Spoken, is everything seen and unseen as having their origin in the primordial note, or voice. Scientific proof now exists of recordings of these ancient sounds which are referred as the ones of the Universe’s origin.

According to Tibetan tradition the existence of singing bowls dates back to the time of 560–480 B.C. This ancient tradition arrived in Tibet from India. Shrouded in mystery, the existence of these powerful healing tools some say, came about through metal smiths traveling around to the Buddhist priests, to be used on ceremonial rituals. It is believed that to play a Singing Bowl one had to be a healer and kept them hidden away when asked if they were used in ceremony or ritual as “singing bowls”, they replied “never.”

How They Are Made

The seven metals that were chosen represent the planetary alignment back then. They are; Gold (Sun), Silver (Moon), Copper (Venus), Iron (Mars), Tin (Jupiter), Mercury (Mercury) and Lead (Saturn). These ancient gems usually are older about 40–50 years of age! They are hand made with a skill that is no longer used.

Chakra’s Energy Centers and Tibetan Bowls

Tibetan Singing Bowls produce harmonious blends of frequencies within their octaves to have a profound affect on our 7 main Chakras. Besides the seven metals I listed above, there are 2 added elements: stars and earth. Earth vibrates with the vibration of Ohm. The stars are related to the heavenly cosmos energy. The earth is composed from the stars and the metals composed from the earth.

Choosing the bowls for the Chakras is simple. The larger the bowl, the deeper the resonance, and therefore they are to be used on the lower Chakras (Root, Sacral/Dan Tien). Large bowls (8”) are to be used on the solar plexus Chakra. For the Heart Chakra use 6–7” bowls. They get smaller the higher vibration that you go!

Selecting Your Bowl

Connect with the resonance of the bowl(s) that are for you. Strike them and listen. If compelled, you can place them on your body, in front of you, or even on your head. It is important to feel its harmonics that connect you back to the music of the spheres.

Ohm is home!
