Using the Singing Bowl
It can take practise to learn to use your singing bowl. Please don't get discouraged.
At the start of the you may gently strike the bowl before beginning the circular motion, but this is not required.
As you move the striker around the outer edge of the bowl it may take time for the sound to begin to build. Keep moving the striker or mallet around the outer edge until you hear a bright, clear tone. You can start to slow down when you get that nice tone. Note: By using the full arm to make the motion you will be more successful than just rotating your wrist.
If you would rather, you can use the striker/mallet in the same circular motion against the outside belly of the bowl.
Continue to move your striker/mallet around the edge of the bowl until you feel the sense of peace you desire or that alignment has been achieved.
Selecting A Singing Bowl
Each bowl has a tone that is different so please ensure you try the bowl you intend to purchase to ensure it has a tone that resonates with you.
Some people elect to purchase more than one singing bowl, with with different tones that are aligned with the various chakras to help them maintain the health of their chakras.
