Would You Like To Learn More About Singing Bowls?

 

Your traditional singing bowl is used for meditation, relaxation and healing purposes.  Although they may sound out of this world, they have actually been used for many centuries, by many cultures all over the world, for these purposes.  A singing bowl is a small circular instrument that acts essentially like a bell when strokes or rubbed by a specially made mallet.  

 

Traditionally http://www.vibrationalsoundassociation.com/ singing bowls are made of the seven most common metals, though most of the singing bowls that you can find on the market these days are made from only one or two metals, which are copper or bronze.  The purpose for these bowls is to produce a range of tones that will allow the listener to relax deeply and create harmony between their body, mind and spirit.  If you want to take it a step further, you can place the vibrating bowl on your body, typically on your chest, and you can feel every single cell in your body being massaged and relaxed.  In doing this you should be able to reach a state of relaxation that you most likely have never felt before.  Also, aside from relaxation, listening to the tones of singing bowl or putting one on your body has proven to have many great healing results with bodies that are weakened or damaged through illness or accident.  

 

When dealing with a VSA singing bowl massage, there are essentially two ways that someone could play it.  The first way is to strike it with a mallet and the second way is to rub the rim with a wooden stick, which will produce a constant ringing tone.  A good singing bowl will be able to produce many different sounds as you rub the rim of it with your stick.  If you are simply striking the bowl with your mallet, you should know that although it will produce a sound or tone for quite a long time, it will also be necessary for you to strike it again, if you would like it to go longer.  You might also be interested to know that striking the bowl will make the bowl resonate, while rubbing the bowl will make it sing.  The difference between these two is simply the sound of the note that the vibrational sound massage bowl will make.  Since each of these sounds will be therapeutic to you in their own right, you will want to try multiple different strikes and rubs to get what suits your needs the best.
