This is a Hand Hammered (beaten) singing bowl hammered carefully by expert craftsmen of Nepal. The process consists of continuous hammering, heating, molding, shaping, smoothing and shining the bowls by hand. They are fine tuned to produce a high quality reverberating healing and soothing sound. These bowls are traditionally made from seven metals. Singing Bowls are one of the ancient Tibetan meditation tools. The pure sounds produced when the rim is rubbed by the mallet is said to put the brain into a meditative state. The vibrations of the singing bowls have the same wavelength found in the brainwaves that produce feelings of relaxation. Today they are employed worldwide both within and without these spiritual traditions, for meditation, trance-induction, relaxation, healthcare, personal well-being and religious practice.
