What is the Healing Effect of Sound?
Sound is an integral part of the spiritual practice of the Himalayan culture. In the Buddhist and Hindu doctrines, sound is listed as the seventh of nine ways to reach enlightenment. For this reason, the sound of singing bowls was used by Buddhist practitioners as part of their music and religious rituals.
The sound of singing bowls is both captivating and calming and is frequently used as a meditation aid. The tones quickly instill a sense of trance-like calm, allowing listeners to drop into meditative states, and cultivate mindfulness and awareness in the present moment.
The sound waves radiate outward from the bowls and wash over and through the listener. The physical body and the energy field of the listener enter into sympathetic resonance with this vibration. Each particle in the body is restored to their original vibration, frequency, and harmony.
The healing effects of these bowls can be attributed to the special sound they emit as well as the conscious intention used in the process of their creation and during the session.
What Makes Tibetan Singing Bowls Special?
The art of creating Tibetan singing bowls has been handed down from generation to generation within family clans. My bowls are made by a family clan whose work can be traced back to the time of the Buddha.
The bowls are made from a special seven-metal alloy. There are seven bowls in each sacred set, and each one is tuned to the specific note that affects each individual chakra.
Each bowl begins as a glowing ball of the seven metals that is handled by 3-4 people: one to securely hold the bowl while the others chant “Om Mane Padme Hum”, infusing the bowl with healing intentions as they hand-hammer it into shape. As the bowls are cooling the village monks pray for hours, infusing the mantras and heart songs of compassion into every bowl.
