Tibetan meditation bowls promote relaxation, emotional and spiritual focus, and better health. They can be played or listened to on CDs, and their vibrations reduce stress and balance mind, body, and spirit. They can also be used to revive energy centers and heal the body.
Tibetan meditation bowls have been used for thousands of years to promote relaxation, emotional and spiritual focus, and better health. There are several ways to use them. For example, a person might purchase one or more bowls and learn to play them. Alternatively, a variety of compact discs (CDs) are available in which the music created by the Tibetan meditation bowls has been recorded. In general, the vibrations emitted by Tibetan meditation bowls are used to reduce stress and balance mind, body and spirit.
Some people who own Tibetan meditation bowls learn to play them. The most common way to play a bowl is to go around the outside edge of the bowl with a mallet. Generally, the person will hold the bowl in their left hand or place it on a sticky mat so it doesn’t move. Next, he will gently tap or strike the bowl, near the edge of the bowl, with a covered hammer. Then, he will apply pressure with the uncovered wooden mallet to the bowl and rub it clockwise, circling the outer rim.
Over time, the hammer, usually made from Himalayan wood, will develop small grooves. As the grooves become more defined, creating sound from bowls will be easier. Additionally, the person will learn the exact amount of pressure needed to create the most sensational vibrations with their specific hammer.
Some people who have been ringing their Tibetan meditation bowls for extended periods of time may decide to explore beyond the basic technique of circling the edges of the bowls. If so, there are other options. For example, bowls can be filled with clean water. Hence, the person can not only hear the vibrations but also observe how the vibrations affect the water in the bowl. This may allow her to enter a different state of meditation as well.
At the most simplistic level, the vibrations of Tibetan meditation bowls reduce stress and relax a person. Whether listening to the bowls sing on a CD or playing the bowls themselves, listening to the vibrations can help calm a busy mind and allow a person to take time out to breathe deeply without worrying about the day’s issues. Often a person can meditate by repeating short phrases or mantras and letting the vibrations wash over them. In some cases, hearing the bowls sing can enable a person to enter a deeply meditative or dreamlike state.
Some individuals believe that the human body is made up of energy centers called chakras. In such cases, the person can use the Tibetan meditation bowls to revive some energy centers and heal the body. Each bowl can be assigned a different tone or tone. The various rolls often target specific energy centers, allowing for specific areas of the body to be restored and healed.
