The Best Way To Use Your Tibetan Singing Bowl

When played, Tibetan singing bowls vibrate and emit a deep, rich tone. These instruments, also referred to as singing or Himalayan bowls, are frequently used to encourage relaxation and have potent healing powers.

In this post, I will talk about the best mallets for playing, sound healing, and ways to connect more deeply with our Tibetan singing bowls.

Why Use a Tibetan Singing Bowl in Your Work?

From ancient times, Tibetan singing bowls have been used to:

·       reduce tension, worry, and stress

·       bolster tranquility

·       enhance sleep

·       release ingrained unhealthy tensions and routines.

·       enhance the rate of injury recovery

·       encourage the adoption of fresh, wholesome routines that promote harmony, balance, and wellbeing

and a lot more

.

Due to the Tibetan singing bowls' powerful effect on our brain waves, which results in a profound sense of relaxation, their vibrations can have a positive impact on both our mind and body.

The advantages of singing bowl listening are closely tied to the age-old therapy known as sound healing, which is frequently employed by indigenous societies around the world. During that time, sound healing was used for ceremonial, spiritual, and health reasons by clapping, drumming, and singing. These procedures are still used today and serve as the foundation for holistic sound healing.

We now have access to a comprehensive system of knowledge and assistance that can educate us how to use Tibetan singing bowls to better our lives and positively impact the world around us, thanks to significant breakthroughs in technology, ancient science, medicine, and many other sectors.

The Best Way to Use Your Tibetan Singing Bowl

Following the acquisition of your Tibetan singing bowl, you may be wondering what to do initially.

1. Make sure your singing bowl is clean

After obtaining your singing bowl, the first thing you should do is cleanse it of any potential stagnant energy. Intention and visualization work just as well as. You can also smudge it with a white sage stick, palo santo, or other sound healing tool.

2. Locate a peaceful area

Choose a calm area where you won't be interrupted or distracted once you've cleaned your bowl. Depending on what works best for you, this could be within or outside your home.

Choose a comfortable spot, hold the Tibetan singing bowl in your hands, and take a few deep breaths. Engage all of your senses while concentrating on your breathing. Take attention to the temperature in the area, any nearby scents, the weight, temperature, and energy of the bowl in your hands.

Knowing that all you need to do is breathe and sense the energy of the Tibetan bowl, try not to participate in your thoughts and instead just observe them. Since your surroundings will have a significant impact on your connection process, a constant practice when you first start connecting with your bowl, including returning to the same location.

The ideal starting point would be a designated spot in a peaceful room of your home, where you could even build a tiny healing altar next to which you might sit. This will emphasize that this time is dedicated to you and your bowl while also fostering a sense of serenity.

3. Tap your bowl lightly and listen

Gently tap the Tibetan singing bowl's rim with a mallet while paying close attention to the sounds it makes. Recognize that every bowl is different and has a distinctive sound; thus, pay attention to the sounds it makes and how long it sustains lasts.

Did you realize that various mallets produce a range of sounds? Although it might seem obvious, one bowl can provide a lot of lovely tones. Simone discusses the most common bowling mallets in the section below.

Suede Mallets

Suede mallets are frequently included as standard equipment with your bowl. They are typically made of wood and have a suede covering on one end. To make the bowl sing, the outside wall of the bowl is either struck with the mallet or its edge is rubbed. Since the suede brings out the bowl's darkest tones, we adore this kind of mallet!

Wool Mallets

While wool mallets and suede mallets share a similar appearance, they sound different and bring out the full spectrum of the bowl's vibrations. But, if you select a fluffy, cushioned wool, you will only be able to strike or tap the bowl to produce music rather than singing it.

Gong Mallets

The fundamental or deepest tone of the singing bowl may frequently be isolated using gong mallets, which can also be used to produce other intriguing sounds. The timbre (sound quality) and response of the gong are influenced by several aspects of the mallet. The primary elements are:

·       how big the mallet head is

·       the mallet head's hardness or softness

·       the head's contours

·       the head's and handle's weight

Generally, the warmer the timbre, the larger and softer the head, the harder and smaller the gong mallet heads. Sabian, Cannon, Friction, and Paiste mallets—which are made for Paiste gongs—are some of the most often used gongs.

Various Mallets

Hard rubber mallets and small felt-head mallets can produce higher, crisper tones. Moreover, cloth-covered mallets will make a different sound and can be customized.

By using felt and other materials to cover driftwood, you may achieve softer tones!

4. Use several methods

There are numerous ways to get your Tibetan singing bowl to sing. You can gently tap it with your fingers, various mallets, or by playing around the rim. Moreover, you can alter the beat with slower and lighter taps to create a sense of relaxation and faster taps to release tension and unwanted energy.

What the bowl has to communicate to me at these times is something you can contemplate. While making these lovely sounds, pay attention to any emotions, ideas, or bodily sensations that come to mind. You might even take out a journal and jot down anything you believe is important to remember after your practice.

5. Chant and use mantras

Playing your Tibetan singing bowls while chanting therapeutic mantras or affirmations like "Om" or "Om Mani Padme Hum" is one option. Mantras can provide a focus point for the mind to settle down because it tends to wander naturally.

Let's use the "Om" phrase as an example. The Om mantra may infuse a natural sense of tranquility and happiness into our being by producing lovely vibrations within the mind and body as well as an energetic vibratory framework.

6. Trust

No of your knowledge or skill level in playing sound healing instruments, you should always have faith in your ability to bring about the correct situation at the right time.
