SINGING BOWLS : WHAT IS SINGING BOWLS?
Singing bowls , also known as Himalayan bowls , are used in yoga, music therapy, sound healing, and religious ceremonies. In the Buddhist tradition, they are played to signal the beginning and the end of silent meditation cycles. Tibetan bowls emit very pure tones, close to sine waves. Their sound is a synonym of purity for our ears.

Like a bell, the tone is produced by striking the side of the bowl with a wooden mallet. By running the mallet around the bowl – only with slight pressure – a pure tone will eventually rise. When this happens, the bowl is said to sing – hence its name.
