The Singing Bowl

A singing bowl is a metal or crystal vessel that produces melodic sounds when struck or rubbed with a mallet. Often used in meditation and sound therapy, its vibrations induce relaxation and mental clarity. The sound results from the bowl’s material and shape, which resonate at specific frequencies, creating rich, soothing tones. Singing bowls are valued for their calming properties and are often employed to aid mindfulness, reduce stress, and enhance spiritual practices. They can vary in size and design, with larger bowls producing deeper, more resonant sounds.
