Know the Use of Singing Bowls For Healing Purposes

Singing bowls redefine beauty and finesse. Nothing compares to the subtle allure that these mysterious metal bowls hold. But those who understand the matters of energy and vibrations have placed singing bowls on a much higher pedestal – a powerful tool that can be used to restore the lost balance between one’s body, mind and soul. The ancients have been using them as a means to accentuate natural healing in the human body. Let’s explore these mystical capabilities of singing bowls and attempt to understand just how they can help a person achieve true equilibrium and optimum health.

Singing bowls – what are they?

Singing bowls are a prominent part of Buddhist culture, especially as a part of meditation practices. The bowl is usually made of metal – the best one being a seven metal alloy made of gold, silver, iron, mercury, tin, copper and lead. However, other metals and combinations are considered just as potent. These bowls are usually used by striking their rim with the help of a leather clad wooden mallet. This impact generates a sweet and calming sound that is believed to be multiphonic and polyharmonic. It is this singing sound that holds the true power of these bowls. Their main purpose is to use their sound vibrations to rid one’s mind of all the chatter that encumbers it and help in creating the focus and concentration necessary for active meditation. However, ancient healers also believe singing bowls to be amazingly useful for sound therapy and related healing techniques.

Singing bowls – how do they heal?

The ancients believed illness to be nothing more than the manifestation of disharmony in one’s body – an imbalance that exists between the cells, organs, systems and energies that make up an individual being. Their healing sciences were based on the principle that diseases and illnesses are caused when there is a blockage in the flow of energy in the body which causes an organ/tissue/system to stop vibrating and functioning at a healthy frequency. Sound, being a vibration, can physically alter these systems and restore balance. Singing bowl healing basically involves using the complex harmonious sounds generated from these bowls to deeply penetrate both one’s body and mind and help in rebalancing one’s energies and bringing the out-of-tune organs and system back in sync.

Interestingly, this healing process becomes more effective and potent once your brain waves become trained to be in sync with the sounds being emitted from the bowl. Singing bowls have a calming effect on the nervous system and can also help in opening up one’s mind towards a deep meditative state where intuitive messages with the self and profound creative thinking become all the more possible. The sound of singing bowls become a sort of energy medicine that can therefore, assist in treating the symptoms of pain, anxiety, depression and stress related disorders.

The great Buddhist monks of the old believe that singing bowls emit the ‘Sound of the Void’ or the sound of the universe manifesting itself into our reality. For centuries, these bowls have been used for healing, meditation, rebalancing one’s energies and consciousness transformation. Their restorative effects on one’s body and mind can be genuinely profound.
