Using a singing bowl for physical relaxation

Singing bowls used in sound massages are usually designed for long-term use and focus more on vibration than the sound produced. Vibrating sound massage allows the body to achieve peace on an internal and external level. Singing bowls of various weights and sizes are usually placed directly on top of the body, but may also be placed around the body.

The human body consists of approximately 60% water. Water has a deep synergy with the vibrational patterns of the singing bowl tones and thus better connects and transports important elements in the body. Water is the body's own substance, therefore the vibrations of the tones of the singing bowls are completely natural and very pleasant to the body. Vibrating sound massages can allow these positive elements to flow freely in the body. In most cases, this type of therapy is reported to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and other similar conditions.

How to play the bowl?

To play bowls, mallets are used only made of wood or covered with suede.
The suede-wrapped mallet produces a soft, resonant sound when struck against the rim of the bowl.

If you want to literally play the bowl, use a mallet only made of wood, without suede. Hold the bowl gently in the palm of your hand to vibrate the bowl. With a wooden mallet, start swirling around the top edge or outer perimeter of the bowl, maintaining even pressure. Gradually increase the speed of the swirl and you will achieve a strong sound of the vibrating bowl. To make the bowl vibrate, you can tap it with a mallet. Whether you use the bowl for meditation or relaxation, it will have a positive effect on you forever.
