Tibetan bowl with black symbols 10 cm

• Tibetan bowl with black symbols 10 cm

This bowl is handcrafted with an alloy of 7 metals. Each metal represents a planet: gold (the sun), silver (the moon), mercury (Mercury), iron (Mars), lead (Saturn), tin (Jupiter) and copper ( Venus). You can make it sing by sliding the mallet over the top edge and adjusting the pressure and speed of your movement. Thanks to its thick wall, the vibration lasts longer.

Tibetan bowls, also called singing bowls, originated in Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. Their manufacture dates back more than 4000 years. They are attributed therapeutic virtues and they are used in astrology and in secret rituals. Each bowl has a unique sound and each person makes it sing uniquely according to their character and mood. When several bowls are used at the same time, the effect is multiplied.

“When I listen to a singing bowl, I feel my afflictions begin to dissolve, my mind calms down, my body calms down. A smile forms on my lips. Through the sound of the bowl and my breathing, I return to the safe island of mindfulness.” Thich Nhat Hanh
